WATERCOLOUR PAINTING MADE AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE

[@helencampbell]

I love the subtle tones here. What are your favourite flowers to paint?

[@hannastocksick7395]

I am the same! I absolutely love pink, purple light tones! Can’t wait to try this one. Watercolor is something i love doing, i just have to neglect the house so I have more time to paint :)

[@helencampbell]

@@hannastocksick7395 lol. Good call. Do the painting instead x

[@artbydrbee]

@@hannastocksick7395 Hanna, you should see my house at the moment 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I've stopped looking around, and I'm here at home ALL THE TIME as we are still in lockdown with no end date! I've become very good at ignoring things if my art is calling me.. an expert in fact 🤣🤣 I'm also homeschooling my children, so yes, my house IS neglected but my art is a welcome distraction, as is Helen's art!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Helen, I'm writing to tell you that you've been a wealth of knowledge in teaching us how to paint in Watercolor. I've struggled so much, until I just happened to see you on You tube and changed Everything. Your idea's really work. You teach on ALL our different levels of painting. I hear you clearly. Thank you so much, Helen - you're so inspiring to me!! xxx

[@helencampbell]

This literally brought a (happy) tear to my eye. It means the world to me that I can help people learn and make a difference to them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart xx

[@LipsitaArt]

Gorgeous flowers painting. Thanks for sharing

[@helencampbell]

Thank you 😊

[@margaretmorgan3693]

As well as good tutorials, you have a soothing voice and music which goes well with the watercolours

[@helencampbell]

Aww thank you 😊

🫶🏼✨✨You’re Brillant✨✨🫶🏼 I have watched soooo many videos about watercolors. The reason I said “Brilliant” was because you said the most important issue so many people like me face! Just Get the Paint on the Paper! I draw my own pictures, I never trace them so maybe that’s why I’m afraid to add paint. Then I have to start over. My biggest problem is..I’m too much of a perfectionist, however I have actually put paint on the paper just now. All thanks to you😀😀 I too am self taught. Never knew I could draw anything, so I must have inherited that wonderful talent. Painting on the other hand all new. With you admitting you to were self taught gave me more confidence than anyone throughout this whole process has done for me. Bravo and thank you with my ❤ for opening this girls eyes to the fact, never be afraid. There are no mistakes in watercolor. I have subscribed and looking forward to looking at your patron page. You are a blessing to me. Anyone who can help this stubborn, perfectionist crazy girl..has so much integrity in what she does. It was a blessing to have found your channel and looking forward to learning so much more that you teach. Kindly, “from across the pond” Janis

[@helencampbell]

Hi Janis. What a wonderful message. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m delighted that you are pleased with the videos. It’s always great to have feedback from viewers and I love it that you are learning. Keep going. X

[@rmuller366]

My gosh Helen! After watercoloring for a year, I STILL have the problem of getting too much water on my brush because I keep dunking it in the jar, GAH! Finally you’ve provided the answer I’ve needed all this time by saying “put the clean water on your palette.” It’s so simple, but a beautiful fix. Can’t wait to try this technique out. I’ve got some mixed media paper too and will give that a go as well. Thank you so much for sharing this timely tip. I can stop pulling my hair out now and get that water under consistent control. Blessings to you!

[@helencampbell]

Aww thank you. It’s such an easy thing to do xxx

[@rmuller366]

@@helencampbell it is easy! I’ve been successfully using this technique during my painting session today and am much happier with the results. Again, I thank you so much Helen. You’ve saved the roots of my hair, lol.

I’m really inspired by your videos and I’m now enjoying trying to paint. I noticed a wonderful framed flower in your intro and I wondered if you would do a tutorial on that one. It’s so so gorgeous - as is all your work. Thank you for the help with water control too. I feel that was letting me down before 💜

[@helencampbell]

thank you very much for your comments - please remind me which flower it is - if it's the little magnolia I think we have that already

[@annewilkie6467]

Hi Helen, on looking again, it seems to be a larger work almost like the underside of a ‘loose’ rose - it’s absolutely gorgeous- and probably way above my current capabilities but the heart wants what the heart wants. It’s painting like yours that drives me forward! With that in mind I will check out your suggested magnolia. Thanks

[@helencampbell]

@@annewilkie6467 ah. That’s just one of my own paintings from a few years ago x

Thank you. I noticed at 14:11 you've switched to using a Jackson's sable spotter size 2. Can I ask which you prefer please? I seem to be constantly on the hunt for a good fine detail brush.

[@stephw1363]

Im surprised to see a watercolorist who doesnt use watercolour paper? Is it because you use such very little water that you can get away with that? I also thought lifting paint would rip nonwatercolor paper or at least damage it? Are you able to use larger brushes for background washes or is that too much water?

[@helencampbell]

I sometime use it but not everyone has it I love the way mm paper makes the paint easy to blend and lift. I’ve a video launching next week that explains this in more detail

[@mauraserena4521]

Could you please clarify whether using brushes such as colored pencils is typical of botanical watercolor or is it your way?

[@sarasotalady]

@@helencampbell I meant via messenger but here is fine. My question is before I join patreon how can I locate the different pics of what’s available for each level? I don’t see how you can select a keg if you don’t see what’s available?

You can’t see each tutorial in the main botanical tier (clematis) until you join. But it is clear in the write up what you will have for each tier. Most people don’t seem to mind the subject surprise but if that’s not for you then I totally understand. We paint stunning flowers some of which I show clearly in the Patreon ad that I place in every video on KZbin which you can see here : Patreon insert 2023 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKu7m4WMYrNgd8U As I said, I appreciate that you need to see everything that is there so perhaps it’s a pass.
