Do you practice painting from basic shapes? LMK👇🏻Don't miss my course The Art Within! We cover sketching and watercolor fundamentals, discover creative style, and how to get into "flow state" for optimal creative mindset. Check it out: www.jennarainey.com/the-art-within // If you want more monthly watercolor tutorials, I offer ad-free Patreon-exclusive tutorials and live art classes on my Patreon. www.jennarainey.com/patreon
It's surprising how long it can take to realize these fundamentals on your own! A good coach like Jenna can fast track your work with this kind of guidance. Geometry exists in nature- it's underneath every structure and pattern- so finding ways to introduce geometric shapes into your art will help support any type of imagery, from abstract to representational!
That hummingbird exercise from your first book 📖 took me back to years agoooo when I bought a compass to make the circle ⭕️ . This was a lovely starter of when I started watercolour 🎨
Great video. Thanks so much. I love that your videos encourage me with my drawing skills, without being all judgy telling me I shouldn't trace. Instead you give me fun, interesting, easy to follow examples that encourage me to draw more. I appreciate it. ❤
Jenna so excited I found you! I’m a new watercolorist & find you are the best teacher I found in ages! Thank you! I like and subscribe! Looking forward to MANY HOURS with you. 🌷
Hi Jenna. I have a question regarding white watercolor paint versus white gouache. I understand why you would use gouache paint if you're wanting to put lighter color on top of something dark. But I was wondering why use white gouache over Whitewater to lighten up colors, for instance like you used in this tutorial. Is it just that that's what you have on hand or perhaps just a preference or is there some benefit to using gouache over of white watercolor? Also once the gouache has dried can it be rehydrated for use at a later date? I also would like to say, I found you probably two months ago ish . You are hands-down the best teacher I have ever found and I've been painting on and off since I was a teenager. I'm also really enjoying the Creative Recovery class. I'm using this weekend to catch up with what I wasn't able to keep up with during the week. Thank you for all your hard work! Is very much appreciated!! 💜
Gouache can definitely be rehydrated after it has dried in the palette. It will last for years in the dried out state in fact and still be rehydratable. And to answer the other question about white watercolor, namely Chinese White or Titanium White watercolor, both of those are more transparent than white gouache, so if you want to cover dark paint you need to use white gouache. White watercolor is primarily intended to be used mixed with other colors to lighten them. Until recently that technique has been out of fashion, but if you go back to vintage watercolors you will find the painters of the 19th century for example used a lot of white. They called it “body color.”
Hi Jenna. I was wondering-since you use Prussian blue so often-if you are at all worried about it’s fugitive nature? Or if you’re careful not to use it in paintings to be hung?
I painted a pretty bird, but i am having trouble with the perspective, cuz i dont think a hummingbird in flight would have its tail under it like that comma. I'm trying to find a picture i can use. . . I kinda want the tail to go the other direction
Schaue gerne ihre Videos, leider verstehe ich kein/ kaum Englisch, die Übersetzung bei den You Tube Videos ins Deutsche ist gut? Würde gerne ihr Buch Everyday Watercolor in Deutscher Sprache kaufen. Ist das schon möglich.? Bei Amazon habe ich es nicht gefunden. Vilen Dank

Cool thanks
You make me believe that I can be a success too. I am happy for you and your new life. Congratulations, Jenna.
Thanks Jenna! Love this short tutorial.
I’ve never known how to break down images into basic shapes. Thanks.
You make such perfect circles and curves so easily and quickly!

Thank you 💙
Looking forward to obtaining your book.
Thank you so much!! I LOVE when you breakdown drawing into shapes!
I have your book and being a beginner I found it informative and enjoyed the subject matter
Thank you for illuminating. This is actually an important way to perceive shapes that play into working with Bézier vector shapes & geometry.
