Watercolor With Rae Andrews ..Floral study

[@lmiller853]

Soooo beautiful! What an inspiration. I wish I could make Opera Pink look like that!

[@lisadoxey7563]

I LOVE this. It's great to see you using the straw! I love the straw! Straw and negative painting! You are my new fav!

[@suzieq19551]

I adore the spontaneity employed in your painting. Great to see such freedom and flow in a beautiful work of art. Thankyou for sharing Rae.

[@raeandrews1925]

Thanks for your comments Suzanne. I do draw a lot, in my sketchbooks, but not always on my watercolor paper. Many times I will do a few sketchy lines to ‘map out’ my plan before I paint, but not an intricate drawing. Having said that, in the case of when I paint structures like buildings, or when I do an animal or figure, I will have a drawing in place on my watercolor paper. If it’s an intricate drawing I might do it first on a large piece of cartridge paper and then transfer it to my watercolor paper, but that’s rare..I have to admit I mostly freehand draw . I totally believe we should draw everyday, among other things, it helps us understand form which is paramount to an artist.

I love to watch your process. Nancy from Oregon

[@jennyreed2597]

Loved that Rae, it is very comforting to see you make mistakes and correct them, thank you x

[@raeandrews1925]

Oh yes I make plenty of mistakes believe me. But I hardly ever say die on a painting .. I will work the strategies out to make it a good finish product in the end

I’m sorry I don’t speak your language but I think you for your comment

[@DonnaTanguay]

Just stumbled on to your watercolor tutorial… I’ve been watercolor painting for about two years with many different instructors! In every case, I’ve not been happy with my result as I do want to loosen my look. YOUR painting style is amazing and inspiring and I’m a new huge fan and will be hoping to benefit from your tutorials! THANK you… my instructor tells me that sometimes you have to accept who you are as a painter, but I’m not convinced that I cannot learn to paint loosely!❤ 12:56

[@susanstark6655]

New to watercolor and new subscriber. Yay! Live love love your videos. They are so lovely and so soothing and encouraging to watch. Explaining your methods and giving tips and techniques along the way really add a punch and content that we can grab hold of and be encouraged to try from. Thank you! Watercolor is so beautiful but I get intimidated pretty easily so thank you for your knowledge and support.

[@raeandrews1925]

So pleased I can help you on your watercolor journey Susan. Have fun.😊

[@raeandrews1925]

Thank you so much for your comment I’m glad you liked this one

[@margueriteaye6181]

Hi Rae Well I tried it again, managed more white spaces, I enjoyed the fact that it was a stretch and bit by bit get better with the brush. Am taking this painting for my assignment painting for the zoom watercolor class I am doing and will show your painting as well. This week’s assignment demo from the teacher was far too complex for me and this will be a very credible complex substitute. Thanks Rae, am glad to have found your work, I love what you do with a brush. Marguerite

[@raeandrews1925]

Wonderful.. I would love to know what your teacher says. 😊

[@danybretos621]

c'est magnifique! j'adore votre technique picturale! je découvre vos demos : les explications et les images sont parfaites même en traduction en français ce qui est rarement le cas dans les demos !

[@schnukele]

I absolutely LOVE this and can't wait to give your techniques a go. I learn something new with each tutorial you post. I have had no luck in using my scrubber brush in the past. It may have been because I attempted to use it while the paint was still damp. I'm going to practice on an old reject and see if that was the problem.

[@raeandrews1925]

That’s wonderful that you are getting something from each of my videos Klara.. that’s very gratifying for me. I use my scrubber which I wet, but it’s on dry paper. I pre wet the area I want to lift a little, wait till the paper absorbs the moisture, then start scrubbing and blotting. I hope that helps. And thank you for your comment.

[@SteviePaints]

Klara Hufnagel Yes, definitely wait until the paper is dry, or it will damage the paper. Some colors lift more easily than others, and some papers lift more easily. Bockingford paper, sold by Dick Blick and available on Amazon, is a paper that allows for easy lifting, although I’m not crazy about the texture of the paper.

[@paintlady2268]

[@raeandrews1925]

Thank you so much

[@margueriteaye6181]

Hi Rae I just found you yesterday. I tried it! I am a beginner so it was quite a stretch. It is going to take time and practice to be able to make such beautiful brush strokes. It was good to attempt, I enjoyed and the mind only thought about painting which is very relaxing. I am pleased with my attempt even though it needed more white spaces. I Thank you, you are an excellent teacher and your video was also rich in bits of extra information Marguerite

[@raeandrews1925]

So pleased you attempted it and enjoyed it Marguerite, just remember that your interpretation doesn’t have to be exactly the same as mine... my videos are really to show you the techniques and allow you to explore them for yourself. So have fun and enjoy yourself in the process.😊

[@LindaSmithLatimer]

Absolutely gorgeous Rae! The looseness really speaks to my heart. I’m a much tighter painter but getting looser as I go. Great video! One question, what paper are you using?

[@raeandrews1925]

So happy you are getting some ideas and inspiration from my videos Linda. The paper I usually use is Arches Cold Pressed #140.

[@t2terri]

Luv the “intrigue into your painting”! At this point I’m just trying to get the colors down -- but thanks for reminding me that using shapes and colors to move the viewers eye around the page is important. I referenced one of your tuts with usin lines helps guide me in creating a visual, this is your Freeform style- I luv it, nautical have to figure out ow I ca use it to develop me ! U are awesome!

[@raeandrews1925]

Thanks so much.. it sounds like you are getting a few hints from these tutorials, that’s great! 😊
