QOTD: What do you love most about watercolours?

[@banana7400]

They are great for backgrounds

[@unfunnypranks8352]

Nothing

[@unfunnypranks8352]

Though I do agree with Ultrabluedrawing

[@user-ic8xm3ln6e]

How satisfying it is when it blends I just love and when you remove the tape and hi kirsty

[@hannahsharpe6948]

lose feeling

[@desirae5476]

I'm a professional storyboard artist and have been drawing all my life-- but after art became my job I lost the spark to do it at home. But discovering watercolors and your channel has revitalized my spark for doing art for FUN! I love watching your videos during the day and going home to apply the techniques at home. It's so nice to be excited about art again. Thank you so much for these videos!

[@anitadavidson1249]

What fabulous feedback for Kirsty. I do hope she spots it! I hope you continue to recapture your art for fun for many years to come Desirae! x

[@SoAnn4]

I’m in my 30’s and never painted in my life, but this video made me want to try a new hobby. I’m buying some supplies this weekend so I can try to learn water coloring!!

[@coren2619]

I've always struggled with the need for every single one of my art pieces to look perfect on the first try, watercolour was one of the methods that I never really got the hang of and hated that I couldn't get it the first time I did it, but that expectation is just not realistic. Thank you for this tutorial, I hope to become more patient with myself.

[@CinnamonGal97]

me too :) that's why I've always hated watercolors somehow but lately I'm trying to get a bit serious about it and accept that it requires time, patience and practice

[@mjpete27]

I love the fact that not everyone has the patience to do watercolor! I also love the luminescence of the colors as they shine through one another layer after layer. You do a wonderful job bringing the vibrancy of the paint through your subjects, whether animals or people! Nice job! Thanks for the videos and tutorials.

[@daphotoguy7689]

The first 2 minutes helped SO much! FINALLY someone showed how much watercolor to paint with!!! Thank you! Oh and by the way....I love your videos!!!!!!

[@samr.2885]

I love how your painting turned out, love the “dreamy” feel of water coloring. Thanks x

[@usharamcharan3983]

Thanks for the watercolor tutorial I’m really trying to get into watercolor

[@jm8186]

Yes Kristy, please do more real time videos like this. They are the most interesting and helpful because we as viewers can see the entire process. Thank you!

[@MahnoorRizvi]

You're so good in your work, and I learn a lot from you every single time you upload video. Keep making these tutorials because you're awesome

[@margaret-annandrews3481]

Love this girl what s delight to watch her produce such wonders. And happy to give us her tips to help us along the way. Thank you Kirsty

[@ellie7589]

What a joy to hear a British accent on a KZbin art video. This is a really wonderful and helpful video, thanks!

[@JesusChristIsLord__]

Very structured walk-through on the basics... exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@sheilamackenzie3869]

I'm just starting out in watercolour and found your full length tutorial really helpful. I plan to paint this today. Thank you

[@meperez05]

Thank you! I love the REAL-TIME videos! Thank you for your beautiful art and inspiration! I recommend your videos!

[@foxyrichardson2421]

This is such a helpful video thank you so much for putting all the time into this! I'm new to watercolour and am finding it tricky to grasp - I think I'm trying to control it too much, rather than be relaxed- but watching you paint is such an inspiration! I can't wait to try all these tips. 💙

[@lydiabosley9152]

Thanks, Kirsty - This is a great way to start out practicing and getting familiar with how watercolors 'work', as a beginner I really appreciate your help!

[@aidashahirasuhadi9809]

I wish I could show you the progress I've made since I stumbled upon your channel. There's a lot of improvement and it gets me motivated to try more. Thanks Kirsty 💕

[@anitadavidson1249]

Thank you Kirsty, I really enjoyed it! I am one of your Patrons and can say, hand on heart that all of those real time tutorials and the interesting real time tips and tricks for various mediums are both fantastic and very much worth every penny. Thank you again for all your efforts to impart both your knowledge and even errors you have learned from! x

You are such an inspiration. Your videos make me wanna put in more effort to my pictures and the techniques you show are super helpful! 👍🏻

[@huishaa]

I painted this with some variations but it turned out so beautifully. The colors blended so well. But to give the clouds effect, i added some white highlights and blended it using the criss-cross method. And OMG it came out so beautifully. Thankyou sm for this tutorial!!

[@mrsbsantiago]

Wow! This is what I've been looking for. You have a very detailed explanation, not like others who just play music while they paint. Thanks for this. :)

[@Beautyofcolors]

all of your videos are so good, thanks for making them.

[@peachalcaraz]

So beautiful!!! I watched everything first and I will try and paint this the way you did it...I hope!! Thank you so much for this wonderful and helpful video!!

[@fatimawilliams7141]

Going out today to buy my first water color supplies. Excited...but scared...and finding the required undisturbed time ... Thanks Kristy 💐 So inspirational... but guess painting isn’t that easy 🤔. ❤️❤️❤️

[@clashultimate1339]

So did you learn now???

[@someoneunknown9717]

Did you learn how??????

[@cathyhaynes2700]

I took a watercolor class in college and enjoyed it very much. It's been a very long time but I think I'm gonna try taking it up again. "Inspired"

[@Jinny277]

I’ve felt so uninspired for a long time now, watching your videos has given me the spark to draw again.

[@freakishchick182]

This technique looks so lovely. I bought some watercolours to try today and csnt wait to try these!

[@bcarl37d]

I've never tried a preparing my paper with water first. I think I will have to revisit this craft again with this technique as it might really change my opinion on this craft. Thank you, Kirsty.

[@maribelrios6562]

Love watching your tutorials.❤❤❤

[@christinagoulet23]

Your art is truly breathtaking ❤️

[@oroojkhalid1776]

[@avs.12_]

I always wanted to start painting with watercolours~ I've seen a lot of beautiful watercolour paintings, I love them because they give a soft-like super pretty effect. You're tutorial has helped me a lot, I'm sososooo thankful

[@maverick88005]

Hi doods. And hi Kirsty :) thanks for the continued uploads and giving us a constant stream of inspiration!

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

No problem 😊

[@TheCoookieCrumb]

Thank you for being specific about the paper you use! My paper dries out so fast i can't seem to get anything done. I will most definitly try the arches cold press and see where that takes me. I also really liked the tip you gave on stoping if the paper start to dry out. Letting it dry completely then re-wetting. I will certainly keep that tip in my back pocket. Love your videos and your clear, straight forward explanations. Im seriously thinking about signing up for your Patreon channel.

[@ThatArtTeacher]

Great tutorial! I love watercolor.

[@lizquandt]

Beautiful! You're a great teacher 😊

[@wheelie1207]

[@TheDevonArtist]

I have to say Kirsty you do explain things very clearly, thank you for all your hard work and time putting the videos together, I certainly know how much goes into editing them! Keep up the cracking videos. Paul :-)

[@hideakiart]

When I start using watercolour, your videos are the first place I'll visit 😉😉😉

[@chrissymcgirt4667]

Thank you so much Kirsty for very informative tutorial. I usually have trouble getting the splattering to look "right" I've tried toothbrush method and Tapping the brush. I'll keep working at it. Thank you again.

[@jyotkaur2482]

Thnkew so mch Kirsty for all ur video’s, itz really helpful for beginners lyk me.. lots of luv frm India..

[@pradaxina]

Looking so pretty :)

[@joecrafted]

I forget how I stumbled on your channel (I think shading with pencil video, drawings that 'pop') but am really enjoying your recent beginner tutorials. Well paced, with lots of great instruction and tips and love seeing the real-time process. I've only recently started doing pen and ink drawing and had great fun with Inktober, but have some online twitter friends who also do watercolor so am intrigued to start learning that. I already have a stash of hot- and cold-press papers for my historical photography printing, some of which I didn't really like for those processes as they had too much tooth or tended to leave 'mushy' details.

[@Zenon-fg4dw]

I am glad I came across your channel. Once again, I am starting to dabble in watercolor painting. Still trying to get a handle on the basics, and I think tutorial like this will be of immense help. I could not see your work area, so I could not how you handle your rinse vs clean water. Also, I could not tell whether your watercolor paper was flat (which I think it) or was tilted, like on an easel. I don’t know which layout is the best for watercolor painting. I wish you had a tutorials on such basics. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@miss_bhello7925]

Very nice - thank you!
