Watercolor Flowers for Beginners - Start Here for Less Stress

Confidently painting watercolor flowers for beginners is all about taking your time, one moment at a time, building your confidence. If you get overwhelmed easily as a watercolor beginner, then you are in the right place. Gain comfort with one flower style and you can find your courage to paint any. Trust me friends. This journey isn't always about mastering a certain collection of blooms all at once. Watercolor for beginners begs you to slow down a bit, get comfortable with one flower and use that confidence to propel you to the next!

THIS IS IT: The BREAKTHROUGH Video that suddenly worked like magic. After watching you paint for a couple of weeks and playing around a little with your techniques and ideas, BINGO! I was inspired to try a few flowers in this style and was surprised at how easy and fun it was to make them look absolutely fantastic! I especially like your background style and found it really worked like a charm to pull everything together. The colors seem to float off the page, bouncing gently on my eyes like lover's kisses. I'M FEELING THE JOY!!!

Thank you!!

[@love2create62]

I think I had an aha moment, watching how you painted your petals, with the dagger brush! I don't need to make every petal look like the typical petal! You were totally mellow today, your color palette kinda went with the mood.

[@KristyRice]

Each petal can have its own personality, for sure :) In loose watercolor the name of the game is impression not replication. So we're creating the impression of something not trying to perfectly replicate it :)

[@wendychampness1901]

I painted this yesterday and loved it. I have found my new go-to simple flower🥰🙏

[@KristyRice]

Yay!!

[@GaryConnor-kn3sb]

Have recently found you and binging your wonderful videos. I am a beginner and learning so much but more than anything having fun. You have a fantastic teaching style - love your message of break the rules and to enjoy the process. Just ordered your brushes and cant wait to experiment with a dagger. Thank you.

You are my favorite instructor. I take a class every week from a professor who is a realistic painter. I'm 67 and never done this before. I am struggling with petunias...so do you have a video on petuias?

Really beautiful Kristy. You make it look so easy we can believe we can do it too! Will you announce when your brushes will be available again? Also, I’d love to know when your palette will be released.

[@KristyRice]

Thank you! If you’re on my email list I’ll be sending a notification the minute they are available! Palettes leave the manufacturer on Monday! Launching first week of May-ish

[@Bindismom]

Kristy, can you please tell me the name of the watercolor set you are using? I love the vintage look of the colors and have nothing like it. I couldn’t pick up the name on the video. Thank you so much.💖👍

[@cynsap1]

I love those colors! Is that pallet still available?

[@kristiofca1]

Amazon is out of your wonderful brushes, and does not know when they will have more in stock!! I have been feverishly searching for a similar brush everywhere!

[@KristyRice]

In about two weeks, a small batch are coming! The 1/4 dagger is available by itself on kristyrice.com

[@CreativeSpace4]

Beautiful painting! I just ordered ur book, hope it helps me. 🙄

[@KristyRice]

Oh wonderful! Let me know how it goes!!!

[@Bindismom]

Kristy, I love these flowers. Question…….I loved them before the lines. I agree that the lines added to them, and I liked them, but I think I would have left them alone. Would that be wrong?

[@KristyRice]

Oh gosh not wrong at all!!!

[@JESUSMYALL221]

Kristy, You sound so mellow. I like🙂

[@KristyRice]

I was sooooo mellow, not my typical. Is my normal too annoying? You can tell me, lol!

I could only hope to have your energy and your gift to gab. Lol, I love your energy and your art style. ❤️

Why am I not finding your color palette on Amazon? I just ordered one about a month ago?

[@jackied2518]

Beautiful 🩷

[@JudysInkPad]

Hi Kristy - I am obsessed with those paints. I found their shop on Etsy. Do you know the color names? Was it a preselected set or did you handpick the colors?

[@KristyRice]

It was preselected, two sets actually :) The Botanical Palette 1&2!!

[@virginiabusch139]

I love your videos. I would like to purchase your brushes but cannot find on Amazon. Are they still available? Thanks.

Oops! Trouble painting leaves. What is mirror??

[@KristyRice]

Repast the same stroke just on the other side of the first stroke

[@kymcrowart7876]

How do you change your color on your brush so quickly without mud?

[@KristyRice]

Awesome question. 1. I often dip into colors without rinsing, if they are next to each other on the color wheel. Opposites on the color wheel make mud… so I avoid double dipping those :) Ehhh hope that makes sense, lol!!

[@paintingtheskykingdom9005]

Hi Kristy ! in this video you mention another video where you have exercises to help one be able to paint thin lines. It is not on the screen like it is supposed to be and I don't find it elsewhere do you know what the exact name of it is?
