Watercolor Floral demonstration With Rae Andrews

[@alexthe1cat]

I always remember this video as one of ny first introductions to loose, negative painting in watercolor. I will always be thankful to you for having shared your art knowledge and catching people like myself a-fire for the art of watercolor

[@raeandrews1925]

Thank you so much for your comment. It’s wonderful to read that my viewers enjoy my videos and that they have helped in their own journey of discovery with Watercolor.❤

[@ihop8783]

Amazing technique! I dream and I am working towards painting this style 😊

[@patriciadewit]

Wow, this is such a great instructional tutorial, so well-explained, makes so much sense. For me, this is so much more helpful than just watching someone paint. Your work is beautiful, exactly what drew me into watercolour in the first place. I love the way you let the paint have it's own way, and then how you work your own ideas into that. Thank-you for being generous like this, with your art and your skill.
