Watercolor Winter Cards (easy)

[@MarjorieComley]

I am such a beginner but your tutorials have been so helpful. Thank you for being so patient with all the small details, paints and brushes.

[@rvfinzi]

Thank you very much for this detailed and inspiring video! I was desperately trying to paint some trees in the snow and now I have learned a lot about it! ❤

[@SandraMiller-qb6dy]

Love watching you.

[@marywagner9927]

I am so glad you don’t have a Patreon account. Those who do just give off an attitude of only sharing their best secrets if you pay. And maybe that’s ok, but I think it comes across as terribly crass. So thank you for sharing your expertise here!

[@1sburdett1]

Thank you for your excellent tutorials. My brain is wrapped around every explanation of why & how you do the things to make it more visually pleasing. Curvatures with colours & lighting. I love it. Again, thank you ❤.

[@KatrineKirk1967]

Tak!

[@livzyful]

You are a great teacher. Thanks!

[@Angie-pl3uw]

Thank you, Shelley. This has been an absolutely wonderful tutorial.

[@remmymafia3889]

Water coloring painting to me, seems like it could test the artists patience at times, what with needing the right balance of water/paint, it varies for different needs.

[@shelleypriorfineart]

It is a rewarding challenge that becomes more intuitive with brush mileage.

[@Louvre2012]

Thank you Shelley. Wonderful demo!

[@darrenbirchall7826]

Beautiful, another fantastic tutorial, thank you

[@callycatus]

Just stunning art work and I have learnt so much ..Thankyou Shelley

[@valeriegehling4358]

Like the rounding of the trees ( card 1 ), good pics. Like how simple techniques = good results. Thanks

[@GypsyMoon881]

You are a very big inspiration to me. Thanks! 💓

[@ficheye00]

A lot harder than it looks to lay down the blue and get those trees in there, making sure to not have too much color in your brush. I think I'll get it on the third try. Thanks Shelley, these are some great snow scenes for us neophytes. You are very much appreciated for all the gifts you are giving us. Merry Xmas.

[@barbarawest1914]

Beautiful paintings and tutorials! They look like photos! You are a wonderful watercolor teacher!

[@iforester4449]

This is such a clear tutorial, extremely helpful and I can't wait to try the paintings.

[@marybell4533]

The paintings are absolutely beautiful and your instruction is excellent! I use to dmake my own envelopes until that got expensive so now I buy them on Amazon.

[@davidgray5321]

Awesome tutorial, Thank you !

[@bettyvanwhite6745]

Great instructions! Thanks so much.

[@VanessaLongthorn]

Thank you so much Shelly ❤. I was always daunted by any kind of landscape but loved painting these and so encouraged by how they turned out

[@lindaarmstrong2186]

I love your paintings and explanations of techniques. I have decided to make small cards to insert with my Christmas cards. I'm in Dunedin Florida 😊. Not much snow here but I grew up in Ohio

[@babs675]

[@marionbik2022]

Thank you for such lovely winter Christmas cards… you have simplified and made these look easier than the finished paintings look. I can’t find the thank you button to donate for this tutorial. I feel it was there during the live viewing but is not there now. 🙏🏼🎨✨💕 I live in Australia and the live tutorial is after midnight and I am not so alert then.

This was a perfect tutorial for the time of year, with a lot of good tips! The tip about painting trees obscured by intense sun backlighting is so helpful! And I see you avoided moonshine like last year!😉

[@kellyhalligan1328]

Thanks

[@suzanneboily5224]

Your amazing!!!❤❤

[@adrianasandy868]

I’ve tried and failed epically… I wasn’t patient enough to wait the drying time. Trying again tomorrow.

[@michellebeauchamp1044]

Should you be too impatient to wait for your paint to dry , you can always use a hair blower to dry it quickly , then proceed...

[@christinepechar8738]

Lovely tutorial! Where can I find the round palette that is shown in this video? Thank you Shelly.

[@shelleypriorfineart]

Unfortunately this Speedball Color Wheel palette has been discontinued but is quite similar to the Stephen Quiller palette

[@BushcraftEurope]

You can use some raw sienna or even burnt as when bitrxh bark peals it has that tone under the bark. For the shade of curvy bark you can add payne's gray with touch of sienna under it. Go into the woods and see it yourself. But also silver birch is kind of different then regular one. It has more light cool blue to it as well and thinner bark.

[@cindyseverson2917]

What kind of sticker do you use? They look beautiful!! Thank you!

[@shelleypriorfineart]

REMOVABLE round sticker from the dollar store (or office supply store)

[@cindyseverson2917]

They meaning your paintings, not the stickers. 🤣

[@CynthiaTrombley-jz9dh]

I am always afraid to mail my watercolour cards without putting them inn a plastic sleeve. Do you spray your cards with fixative before mailing them? I've had my mail arrive wet many times. Thanks Shelley

[@shelleypriorfineart]

You could try rubbing some cold wax medium (Dorlands) on them to make them water-repellent

[@judyrader956]

WHAT BRAND BRUSHES DO YOU PREFER

[@shelleypriorfineart]

I have a few favourites but not one that is well above another. Mostly I’m using squirrel hair round brushes (Biaelk travel brushes or Danaiyw). I use synthetics for detail, flat or fan brushes (assorted makes)

[@sverigesperukspecialisterk3401]

Where do I find the Round palette?🙏🏻

[@shelleypriorfineart]

The round palette I’m using has been discontinued but it’s a lot like the Stephen Quiller palette

[@karisteinbacher4535]

QUESTION : You added the permanent rose with the blue and then it showed hints of the pink on it's own am I correct ?? Or did you add the permant rose on it's own ??

[@shelleypriorfineart]

It usually separates slightly on it’s own. I didn’t mix the colours too thoroughly on my palette either. Permanent rose on its own would be much too pink. It’s a mix but varies between being slightly more pink or blue which I like.

[@sverigesperukspecialisterk3401]

The name of the blue colour?🙏🏻

[@shelleypriorfineart]

Cobalt
