    I enjoyed this video very much. I’ve been painting flowers for years but learned so much. For one thing drawing the background into the edges of the flower. I’ve seen this suggested before but not actually how to do it. Also the drawing demo is very good and helpful. I also like going into detail which I find very satisfying. This is the first video of yours I’ve watched but I plan on watching all of them including the portraits which I’ve never been interested in but feel it would be good for me to learn. Yes it was long but all of it is very instructive by your explaining what you’re doing.

  • @saral.1933
    @saral.1933 3 роки тому +2

    Thank you for the demo. I've seen a million that seem to repeat the same info. I learned some new techniques from yours. I like your method of making the petals look transparent by adding in some of the background color lightly & blending it over the top just at the edge. I would never have thought of that on my own. It was extremely effective too ( which surprised me)!

    A lot of people are capable of rendering realistic art. What makes one good and another not captivating is the energy it exudes. One painting of an old, dilapidated building just is, while another convinces your senses that you are looking at something 3D and can smell the age of that building. I've seen renderings of a flower (peony) that looked so real you felt like you could just reach out and pick it up. I also feel that how aware or good you are at capturing sunlight washong a building or through the individual petals adds energy.
    We humans are bio-electrical beings that respond to the presence of energy.

  • @1toshi32

    I love how slap dash you are at the beginning. I'm super picky about my watercolours and from start to finish, I try to emulate the subject matter. You have taught me something about not being too over OCD about the beginning and how to keep the painting fresh throughout. On the subject of green, I have to disagree with you there. I have a lot of paintings with green because the subjects I pick, the green works well with the flowers. But then I was taught by a botanical painter so that's a whole different way of painting. To me the green makes the whole painting more believable to me. But we can agree to disagree. I love the finished painting. I loved the whole process in fact.
    On quite another subject, I only found out by accident that James Gurney created Dinotopia of which I am a huge fan. He uses a lot gouache which is a very tricky paint to use. Thanks for the info on his blog and books.

    you mentioned too many colors but didn't talk about the fundamental of choosing a limited palette per painting and how to work with it through mixing. One of the biggest mistakes novices make is just choosing random and often unlimited colors. Yellow is one of the hardest colors to work with, would be helpful to address that

    • @watercolorguruorg
      @watercolorguruorg  3 роки тому

      Great question! A dark background is a great way to create contrast in your painting. It can help the viewer know what to focus on (in this painting, the focus should be on the flowers). It can also makes your subject's colors pop and feel more vibrant.
