Hi there! I'm Audrey, your #watercolorbestie. Watercolor was the start of a mental health journey I didn't know I needed. Discover for yourself how 15-30 minutes of watercolor can change your life as you learn to relax, let go of perfectionism, and embrace mistakes and the mess. See you there!
Can Old Paintings Tell Your Art Progress Story?
It's been almost 8 years since my very first 100 day project when I was brand new to watercolors. I'm starting a new series to see if I can be inspired by and recreate all of them! Each time I've done a 100 day project, I've grown immensely as an artist and have learned more about myself. I hope this new series is inspirational especially to those of you that are beginners. Here's to day 01!

Glamorous drawing 🤩 Astonishing!!
🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿it's a five leaf review! technically the description said "herb" but I thought it looked like your wreath leaves so I'm going with it 😊 I really enjoyed the video and the thoughts behind it. It's hard to reflect on progress and you've inspired me to pull out some old drawings and recognize I am improving! Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement
Love this!
Join me on Mondays Feb 10, 17, and 24 at 8pm CST to color live together :)
Why is it that most calligraphers start off with calligraphy, then take up watercolour, gouache and metallics...and also have a cat on the table😂 myself included😂
I have noticed that pattern, too! For me, I have one more step before calligraphy... bullet journaling! Aw you have a cat, too? How long did you do calligraphy for before you started doing watercolor?
i’m so excited for you! it’s so hard to recognize incremental progress over time, i hope this is an encouraging and refreshing experience! (editing to add some 🍃🍃🍃)
🍃💚Thanks so much! I agree that when you’re in it, it’s hard to see the incremental progress. Gotta look back from time to time to see the progress and keep pushing forward. Thanks for the encouragement 🥹
Ooo i am happy i found your color along! I just realized i have this book in shipping so this works out. Very basic colorist here and looking to pick up techniques. Looking forward to the series. Love your style. ❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I’m so glad you found my video and that you love my style. I like to keep things simple when it comes to coloring. :) I'll be coloring live all of February so join me on Monday evenings at 8pm CST!
Hello 🤗 again Audrey 🌹 I commented on the Short Video but really Appreciate the longer one See you next Monday evening hope you have a Wonderful Weekend ☺️🌹💌🖌️🎨📚🦄🤗🩷🩷

Thank you Audrey 🌹 see you next Monday evening hope you have a Wonderful Week ahead 🦄🩷🤗
Really like the hexagon shape. Fun way to change up a rose wreath. Thanks Audrey!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked the hexagon shape. It adds something different to the typical wreath!

Thank you, Linda! Yay I'm so glad the package arrived safely. Thank you for your support!
🎨Hi Audrey - enjoyed the video! Came at a good time. I'm looking to add some colors to my palette and this got me thinking about what I gravitate toward. Two I use a lot are Lemon Yellow 🟡and Aquamarine🔵 - I think because I'm often mixing green. Maybe it's time to just buy some tubes of green! Thanks for some inspiration today 🤗
Thanks for taking the time to comment, Sheri! It's good to evaluate how we use the colors we have in our palette from time to time. Glad it got you thinking and noticing how much you're mixing a green color. It might be time to get a convenience color. But that's just my opinion! There are some single-pigment greens out there that might be worth investing in.
Hi Audrey, this is a lovely swatching video! I don't know if you already know this, but some of the paints you shared are not lightfast and will fade. Particularly Bright Rose and Prussian Blue. I know you digitize most of your art, so fading probably isn't much of a concern for you. But it's always a good idea to inform people about the lightfastness of pigments so they can make informed choices on which pigments to use. The purple you created is pretty, but will fade in 1-3 months. For a permanent, lightfast bright purple, I highly recommend Quinacridone Magenta PR122 and Ultramarine Blue PB29. I hope this is helpful!! 💜 Emily White
Hey Emily! Yes I am aware of the fact that those two colors are not lightfast. :( You are correct in that I should have been more detailed in my video and inform the viewer. I appreciate your comment and insight. You are right in that I almost always digitize my work so it's not a big concern for me. And I agree that the other options of Quin Magenta and Ultramarine Blue are better options if you want your original paintings to last. Thanks again!
@@AudreyRaDesign Thank you for your kind reply!! 🥰
What's your top most used colors in your palette? Does it match any of mine? Let me know!
That pink was so pretty
The soft pastel pink or the bright rose pink? Either way - they're both pretty! 💖

Hi, I really loved your blog. Thanks for sharing. I'm doing watercolor workshops as well, but not moved into digital. Very impressive, well done!
