Watercolor Journal Day 13 (Colorful Patterns)

[@jillweisensee8524]

I love patterns and graphic landscapes. As a novice painter, I find them more relaxing than trying to paint “realistic” art. Thank you!

[@shanacirce2667]

This type of painting can definitely be less intimidating to the new painter. So glad you found it helpful. Happy Painting!

[@sammiller9855]

For pattern based painting, check out the Indian Gond tribal art. I am finding it most inspiring, although it is usually done with more opaque mediums such as acrylics.

[@jodyshafer4953]

Yes, I would much rather see designs and patterns so beautiful

[@amymckee5075]

Fun! I might throw in some gold into the doodle mix. 😊

[@shanacirce2667]

Love that. It would give it a real zing!

[@simmsfam07]

Yes please! I loved this one, bright colors, a little whimsical, wonderful way to start the weekend. Thanks for sharing your talent!

[@shanacirce2667]

And thank you for watching! Have a great weekend yourself.

[@shanacirce2667]

I’m so glad to hear that Martine! Thank you for watching.

[@rebeccafiveash4335]

Absolutely gorgeous. Reminds me of gravestones in England (shapes) but just super with all those yummy colours and patterns. Would love to see more.

[@shanacirce2667]

Thank you for watching. I will definitely have more in the future on simple pattern making with fun or interesting color palettes.

[@consueloyoung4484]

I love it!, it looks like a gum drop tree forest. Very colorful and cute!!. ♥️

[@Alina-ct5gr]

I love this so much color. Nice card idea.

[@shanacirce2667]

So glad you loved it. Thanks for watching. 😁

[@badsworthcats]

This looks so therapeutic. This my 3am painting session when I am up in pain. This for sure would almost make me think I am pain free 😂❤ Debbie

[@shanacirce2667]

So glad this can be helpful to you. Art can do wonderful things for our minds and our bodies.

[@allerleivonanisai]

Thank you for the calming and meditative paint along ❤. And you are right, I definitely tried to remind you about that orange, saying it out loud to the screen 😂😅

[@shanacirce2667]

You are so welcome. 🤗 I know I would have been yelling at me too about that orange. 😂

[@melissarisher4179]

I loved the patterns and mark making. I'd love to see more abstract ideas like this. It really makes you think about color and color theory. Thanks for all these wonderful videos! You are a pleasure to listen to even though you are talking to the camera. :)

[@shanacirce2667]

Thank you! Check out today’s video for some more abstract painting and color theory.

[@lyndaculp5060]

Love, love love this

[@patlatour2465]

I like the color mixes and patterns ❤❤another awesome exercise to do thank you for sharing.😊

[@michelel3372]

Love this video. Yes, I would love to see more design and pattern type videos. I don't do realistic type painting. Thank you! ❤

[@jeansteele6586]

I am watching from Canada 🍁

[@Angie-pl3uw]

I love this I’d love something like that framed. I think it would look cool!

[@shanacirce2667]

I’d love to see you paint something to frame! Go for it. 😁

[@karenharmer519]

I've got to say, I had to tell myself " trust the process" I really didn't like it when I was painting, my shapes were untidy and lots of white gaps. Then I outline in fine colored markers, & did the mark making in a gold fine liner since I don't have white, now that I look again yes I like it , I know it's a sketch book, but it's how I am, so thank you & I will see you tomorrow.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathyroberts9703]

Love these journal ideas and your painting instruction!

[@shanacirce2667]

Thank you.

[@germainwdesjardins6573]

So relaxing and gorgeous. Thank you

[@moppeliini6614]

What a lovely idea!! Thank you.🥰

[@Bugiddle]

This reminded me of a little village, like what you might find somewhere in Europe. 🙂

[@shanacirce2667]

I can definitely see that.

[@helengentile9327]

Beautiful piece!!😊

[@stefaniecolonius4780]

Good gum drops 👍🏼👍🏼

[@maryalexander1844]

[@shanacirce2667]

😊

[@arby7276]

Just found you on KZbin! Thank you for sharing your talent!!

[@jessicataylor3819]

Just watched this project along with my 7 year old son - we were definitely trying to help you remember orange. 😂 Lovely project!

[@shanacirce2667]

I’m glad I finally remembered! 😁

[@Maliika-Art1979]

الوان جميلة ❤❤

[@shanacirce2667]

[@karendirmish2696]

A delight to discover you! This journal painting/drawing was so much fun to watch! Thank you , Karen Dirmish, learner!

[@shanacirce2667]

Thank you for watching, Karen. 😁

[@marilynaustin4425]

Good morning from Pensacola. Got my coffee in hand exciting to see what you have for us this morning. Been trying to keep up in my journal. If you have time, I need help in painting a simple church, either faced forward or on the side. Thank you for coloring my world. Marilyn.

[@shanacirce2667]

I love it! Sounds like a great way to start the day to me 😁

[@drawfreely8280]

You look amazing!

[@Babyjohn8170]

Just completed this project with you on Friday. Thanks so much it was fun. 😊👍

[@anniefaint6373]

I really enjoyed this little painting,,,xxx ❤

[@sooper109]

Sooper fun doodles! Thanks!

[@Deedster56]

I absolutely LOVED this!! I’m a frustrated beginner 😂 and have been searching for practice ideas to do in my sketchbook. I’m so very happy to have found your channel and have subscribed, of course. Thank you for your wonderful style and fun approach. I look forward to all of your upcoming (and previous) videos 🤗💕

[@shanacirce2667]

So glad you are enjoying the videos. Thank you so much for watching.

[@thatswhatshesaid.literally737]

Being totally disgusted like 😱 "Omigosh, I can't believe she picked that spot..." 😤 *LOL!* 😂 If anyone is getting _that_ worked up over a watercolor journal exercise, (a free one, at that) they need to put the phone down and step away from the screen. 😅 Too funny!! ✅️ *Subscribed*

[@shanacirce2667]

Haha. You know those folks are out there. 😂I just like to beat them to it. Thanks for subscribing and following along. Happy painting!

[@amandahodgin9316]

This turned out so cute. A great, low pressure way to practice and would make a cute card front. I love the Princeton Aquaelite #8 long round brush if you haven’t tried it.

[@shanacirce2667]

Thank you for the watching. I have a Princeton velvet touch #10 long that I love. ❤️

[@hiddenshadow2105]

For this kind of pattern the minimal amount of colours to use is 4, as per Four Colour Theorem.

[@shanacirce2667]

Good to know! Thank you.

[@marisaleong6256]

Thanks for the tutorial. When your painting consists of 4 or 5 colors used repetitively like this one, do you use a separate brush for each color? So you are not constantly cleaning one brush with each color change? I notice you use a separate brush for softening edges, but what about for color changes? How do you do it? I hope my question makes sense. Thank you.

[@shanacirce2667]

I definitely do not use a separate brush for color changes. I’m frugal but not that frugal with my paints. 😁You can try to group your colors together. Paint all the sections of the same color at the same time. I hope that helps.

[@jacquiliddell7680]

Hi could you do a Hare or a rabbit many thanks

[@shanacirce2667]

I will add it to the list!

[@janwoodyer735]

Yes, I was shouting orange, orange,orange! 😂❤

[@shanacirce2667]

Hahaha. When I played it back I was shouting the same thing 😂

[@elizabethrowe5960]

Did you mean to only have the pale green in one place?

[@shanacirce2667]

I don’t think I did it consciously but it seems to work for me. 😁

[@dee-ellencook763]

I love the animals, the patterns are also nice...for some reason food does not inspire me. Nice work.
