So beautiful!! I'm definitely going to try this and going to try it out with littles
I love the hare painting! It is adorable. Thanks for sharing this technique!
Tara Eastman thank you!
Did this when I was young and forgot how fun it was. Thank for the reminder!
yes its my go to when teaching kids!
Very pretty paintings. I love the bunny he’s so cute, and the birch trees are beautiful too. Can’t wait to try the wax candle technique. Thanks for sharing!
Fun technique to do with kids. Think I will treat my 10 yr old friend, to an afternoon of watercolor and hot chocolate. Thanks for the idea.
cheryl7476 oh yes it’s so fun for kids! I think this could be fun for adults too heheheh!!
You bet, Lucy, this is a fun activity for us big kids too. I can’t wait to play with this technique, as it has been a long time since I have done it. Between the Gelli Plate, acrylic paints. , colored pencils, alcohol ink..., I’ve been away from my watercolor practice. Great way to,warm up and just play. Thanks, Lucy. See you with your next video. 💛 Happy Valentine’s Day.
And to you too! Yes so many art supplies not enough time!!
I first learned a similar technique (crayon resist) in Elementary School, but of course you've elevated the process. Gorgeous results! Thank you Lucy!
Maggie Donald thanks! Yes this is something I did teaching in school with little kids but thought heck it’s fun for adults too! I love how it’s like a magically appearing picture!
Lucy, you made this look so simple and fun. Thank you. Yours is beautiful as always.
Debbie in Ruskin thanks so much!
Thank you - Merci.
Such a fun technique Lucy. Can’t wait to try it with my granddaughter 💕💕
Donna Lyon she will love it!
Loved this. Thank you. Will be trying out similar ideas with my adult beginners' Art Group.
Gorgeous Lucy, I love your little hare. Must try this technique.
Jillian Daly thanks!
Thank you for sharing your technique. I look forward to trying this❣❣❣
You are so welcome! have fun!
I really enjoyed both of those!
I'm so glad! thanks for watching!
Watercolour is my favourite technique that artists use. I love the ethereal look it gives. I don't remember doing any art in elementary school so this is new to me. I hate to say that, considering the age I am. lol I am going to try this even though I only have a child's small watercolour set. I appreciate that you reaffirmed that mistakes are a learning process as I tend to think I should be able to do it right, or not do it at all. (ah, parental voice playing in my head...) Thanks for sharing this wonderful video. I think both pictures turned out well. I particularly love the first one with the trees.
Oh this looks so fun, I gotta try it soon lol. Love how these came out! Thank you for sharing this.
Michael Ann F. Thank you!
The vivid colors here make a difference

Lucy, I really love this 💕💕💕💕💕 it’s a great idea 💡 and the one you made that had the bunny or hare in it, I also liked too . Thank you so much
Mags Nash thanks!

Lucy this is beautiful. I am a complete beginner to art journaling and water colour paints. This is so inspiring. I’m going to give it a try. Thanks so much. I love it. Best regards to you from South Africa 💫🌟

Thank you Lucy,I l8ve thevideo ,special the trees, thank you fir the tips,😍👌👍👏
thank you for watching!
Just discovered you...thank you SO much.
aw thank you!
Thank you for this.
I thought the one with the hare had lovely and thought those were trees in distance .
Aww thank you!
Gorgeous work Lucy! The salt does just leave a pattern and then fall off once the painting is dry right?
Sargent used it, he'd put a layer of colour underneath then wax marks and put a different colour wash on top
Jack Daly ooh cool I didn’t know that
Gorgeous ❤
thank you!
Wow nice
thank you!
Gorgeous techniques. May I please ask you why you use the salt?
the salt gives a cool texture where it sort of sucks up the water and leaves wee spaces !
Very good idea 👌..just wanted to know what happens to the salt after the painting dries
you just brush it away once the paper and paint are dry!
@@LucyBrydonArt thank you 😊
It's beautiful work.Can you share what tape are you using to stop the paper move.
mmm im trying to think back it was probably masking tape or frog tape? sorry I can't be more precise
What is the salt for .
Sorry for not replying! The salt creates interesting effects in the watercolour
Which paper is used for this plz?
I cant remember sorry! probably just regular 300 gsm watercolor paper
Did I miss you removing the wax crayons.
I don’t believe you do remove the wax, unlike masking fluid. So it will be the colour of the candle or wax crayon.
Would this work on fabric?
its kind of like batik so I don't see why not! you'd have to heat the wax and then iron it off thats what I do with batik

Anyone else prefer the mountain one?
