I really like the split screen, your commentary and the real time questions and answers - it all works superbly well. Thanks.
This was really helpful. Please do more florals 🇨🇦
Yep! I think it's beautiful too.

Beautiful technique...so pretty!

WOW. Beautiful. 😍😍😍
Amazing! Beautiful work👌🏼
Великолепно! Браво мастеру👋
beautiful video thank you i love roses and birds the most
Gorgeous floral. So happy I stumbled upon your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Great info about the underpainting and what colours are reflected where, on faces and objects, also that tip about slight wetness on the paper and the brush for controlled softness. I love when I learn something new about watercolour, now I just hope to remember it.
So many good tips! This is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for…many thanks!
Such a lovely painting. Please keep posting
Amazing!
So very beautiful and nicely explained too. Great channel

Thank you very much!
superbe
Great video
Wow ... Very nice 👌👌
Thank you!
Beautiful
I love the way you teach watercolors, I find only three videos of your work. When are you planning to Show us more of your work?
Congratulations you are excellent teacher!
So pretty. I am so glad I found this page. Everything I was seeing at first was loose florals and abstracts. While also beautiful, it just isn't my style.
I really loved
Thanks!
Beautiful painting! Thank you. What is that blending brush you talk about?
👍👍👍
Thank you!
Very helpful! I've tried some botanicals, but like this type of floral better. It relies on drawing. I think this is a more natural way for me.
I really appreciated this, informative and helpful video. I would have liked to seen a stand off shot of the completed painting.
Beautiful . Very informative. I assume, before you go to next petal after the shadow phase, you are drying that particular petal ?
I just found you and so glad I did! Your technique is so what I was looking for. I am basically a beginner but doing alot of studying in my free time so when I more time, I can begin growing and advancing. Of course my kids are my biggest fan and my 30 yr old son wants me to paint him a red drum fish and it so intimidates me! I would love to see how you would tackle such a subject.Small details scare me so the scales you see in so many are stressing me so. I would love to attempt this in watercolor since it is my preferred method over acrylics so if you have any suggestions or advice, I would love to hear from you! thank you for sharing your techniques and help teaching others! I know this is an older post but I do hope you see them!

Very nice, I was noticing a lot of potential blue underpainting in the left side highlight area. I love to paint botanical s also and had received a tip on using cobalt blue (violet DS)under pinkish flowers because of the realism and softness it brings besides the color theory help.. And sure enough the tip really worked. And leaning the underpainting to compliment the next layer now actually helps me figure out which blue will be dominant, reddish or greenish and then that helps with the sky or foliage. So my orange flowers have phaloblue turquoise for example. Great explaining and how to get through the basics and not bogged down. I erase my lines but some like them too. Thanks you are welcome to check out my FB. Have a nice evening and it’s a stamin maybe I can’t spell.
Wonderful?
Can you please mention all the colors you are using in your painting please?
I would love you to do a video about cross contour lines and how to use in painting.
Your video was very helpful and I now understand why it didn't matter that the underpainting strokes extended beyond the drawing lines. One question though...when you painted the black background, I noticed that you didn't wet the paper close to the flower. Is that to prevent bleeding? Also what colors did you mix to get such a strong black? Thanks!
It looks like dark blue to me.
Beautiful! Please, tell me what paper do you use?
Excellent explanation of your process. Just have one question. On your first layer, why do you put down warm and cool colors?
Great question! Watercolor is transparent, so whatever colors you put in the final layer will be influenced by the colors underneath. If you place cool colors on top of warm colors, you'll get mud. If you place warm colors on top of cool colors, you'll get mud. So in order to not get mud, I like to place cool colors under where I'll be finishing with cool colors, and warm colors where I'll finish with warm colors. In this way, the warms and cools I establish in the first layer will determine the outcome of the entire painting. Does that help?
watercolorguru.org Thank you for that explanation. I’ll give it a try today. If it turns out, I’ll put a link on my IG post.
when do you wet the paper? before or after sketching?
It was pretty sped up, so it was easy to miss…but he sketched first and then wet the paper.
This is for more advanced students
was it just the cam on the artists side, or was there really no pink/purple, just red tones?
When working with watercolor, the white of the paper acts like the white in your paint mixture. Creating the color pink would depend on the red pigment you use, the amount of water you use to dilute it, and the colors underneath it. Hope that provides a some explanation for you. Keep on painting!
What if you cant/Don't draw well ??
Paper?
Acrylic flower too n oil please thks 🍩☕🎈
I do work in both those mediums, but primarily focus on watercolor with this channel. Thank you for watching!
first
i messed up when it comes to the background :(
No worries! Backgrounds can be tricky, especially if you're trying to create a soft effect. What went wrong?
@@watercolorguruorg It dries up too fast even I soaked it wet so it didn't mix up. I guess I'm just too slow!
@@sude3767 Speed will come with time. Sometimes the place you paint can effect the speed that the paint dries, depending on the humidity. Keep working and practicing!
@@watercolorguruorg Thank you!❤
i like your piece, but i wouldn't call this "photorealism", not at all. I must remark, i like it, i don't mean this as an insult even though many might read it that way (i've seen it happen irl with art criticism, i went to college for it and not everyone takes well to comments even if they are very mild criticism haha). It's pretty ilustrative/decorative. You did a good job on the flower, the subtle wet in wet texture was nice, but i don't see it as "realism" or "photorealism", and those words have honestly lost all meaning in art-youtube, because people will call anything that isn't abstract or cartoon/anime style "realism".
Maybe the title was just for the clicks; i understand, youtube has an algorythm and you want your channel to be seen, who could blame you
Why such a dark background?
