This weeks prompt is to paint something whimsical in watercolour.
Thanks so much to everyone for participating in this months watercolour challenge. I’ve learned a lot from using my watercolours each week and its taken away much of the fear I had of using them. I hope you’ve enjoyed it too 💕

I am a recent convert to watercolour…. I am amazed my kitties turned out beautifully. I absolutely love it
That’s wonderful to hear ❤️
Aww... they are just the cutest!!
Super cute and fun to watch ❤
I think they're really cute, but if I had them I would have given them some funky tails. You can add such personality with a tail! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
That would be cool!
They are so cute. Thank you. I can’t wait to try them 😊
Love this Nina! 👍🏼
I love the cute kitties.
Thanks Jillian 💕
ADORABLE!!
What an inspiration you are! Look how far you have come in a few weeks! It's been a great journey. These cats are super cute. I really love them but my favourite was the flowers. I have a special fondness for the rooster too. Well done and thanks for sharing 💗
I am madly in love with these kitty’s and the boarder was WORTH THE TIME!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ I will give this a go, I am the worst drawer I know 😂🤣
You can’t be worse than me haha! Happy Creating 💕
Morning Nina 😎 gorgeous whimsy , I've enjoyed this month of WC learning. I've ordered those paints too!
Lovin' these puddy tats! Thanks for the tip about dragging the watercolour lightly instead of pressing into the paper - very helpful!
Cuteness. TFS enjoyed the process 😀. I like your rooster. Hope to see you do the new one!
Awww, thank you. Must give the rooster another try 🐓
I have been in a creative slump for what feels like forever! This video of yours just appeared on my playlist and I am so glad. I love your whimsical style and you have your own style, nothing wrong with that. I went to school for watercolor and studied some heavy old school techniques that I found inhibiting to what I wanted to do. I was taught to never use frisket (masking liquid) to only use the white of my paper. Pfafff! I use frisket and love your tip about cotton swabs, I use trashy cheap craft brushes but even with a good artist soap I can never get the frisket removed. Thank you for the inspiration and useful information about the masking fluid, which I love to use .
Thanks so much for your lovely comment 💕
@@NinaRibenaMixedMedia You are quite welcome! Flattery does not come easily for me, it I say it, I mean it! I loved watching your video and look forward to watching more. My husband recently purchase me a new beautiful sketchbook, typical of me I would have been opafraid of ruining it and it would have gone up on a shelf. I made myself do a memory sketch of a place we had gone that day, it was o.k. When I watched your video I got the sketbook out and made my own version of your doodles(no copying, as an artist that burns me up!). Keep being your unique self, have a blessed day. Linda (vangogo). 😊🤗🖌🖍🎨🖼
Your cats are adorable Nina, the moon looks great! I’ve enjoyed watching you water colour this month thanks for bringing us along xxx💕
Thanks Susie, its been a really fun challenge and one I’m so so glad we’ve done 💕 xxx
Cute! My favourite one is the flowers too xx.
The cats look cute, fun and easy to do. Hopefully I will have a bit more time to play this week as I only have the grandchildren on Wednesday, although they love painting and creating too. Might get them to have a try along with me! X
Are you kidding me? Cutest darn whimsy cats in the alley! Absolutely love this !!
Aw, thanks so much for your kind words 😻😻😻
I think they are all beautiful.💚🇨🇦
Thanks Judy 💕
Pretty darned cute!! Love cats!
This is so cute Nina ,,, I have loved this months Prompts using water colouring paints,,, I do hope you do some more!!! Again I struggled with the rooster 🐓, I have seen so many gorgeous roosters on your Facebook page and they are all brilliant, I did do one but didn’t finish it lol,,, then I did another one , but this one was a cheat as I found one in my colouring books , and used water colouring paints, ,,,,. But I’ll try again,,,, loved your cats 🐈 xxxxxx 🐈🐈💕💕
What a wonderfully relaxing video Nina . I so enjoyed watching your cats come into being ... love the finished piece . Thank you very much . Kay xx
Thanks Kay, I’m so glad you enjoyed it 💕😻😻😻 xx
Adorable. Love your kitties. 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Love the cats. This month with watercolors have been a fun one. Thank you for all your work,
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed this months theme. Its been fun and educating for me too 💕
This is an awesome video! I am just getting into watercolor paints. I love whimsical! I am definitely going to try painting these cats! Thank you!
Thanks Terry. Happy Creating 💕
Love the cats, will be trying this one. Tfs Sue💜
Thanks Sue. Enjoy 💕
The cats are adorable and I have these excellent paints and just love them, couldn't beat the price
Such a good recommendation from our lovely Lindsay 💕
Have really enjoyed this month's prompt. I loved all your artwork. I will be trying these techniques. Thanks for sharing!💕
I’m glad you enjoyed this months challenge Sherry. I have learned so much about watercolour and I’m very glad we’ve done this 💕
Oh Nina I love your cats and loved watching you use the watercolours in all the prompts. My favourite are the flowers too but I love them all even the rooster 🐓. Tfs. Xx
Awww, thanks so much Marina. I’v really enjoyed this challenge 💕😻 xxx
Oh my gosh, so cute! 🐈🐈🐈
Thank you 😻😻😻
Very cute. Love them xx
Thanks Lyn 😻😻😻 xx
I love your kitties, they're very cute. Thank you for sharing tips along the way, I'm learning from them. Thank you, Nina!❤️🌹
Thanks Ruth. Glad you’re finding the tips useful 💕
The cats are awesome! I love them. Very inspirational piece. I love the whimsical flowers on the earlier card, too.
Thanks Susan, those two are my favourites too 💕🌸😻
💖💖💖
Great tips for dragging the liquid not the paint! I adore the whimsy of this page! Thank you for sharing!
Haha, you knew what I meant 🤣 xxx
So very cute! The details really made this. It was so cool to see how much just adding the bow tie added to the composition.
Thanks Ellie. Its gut instinct isn’t it. We know when a piece is lacking something, but the hardest thing is deciding what to add. I’m glad you enjoyed seeing it come together 💕
Oh I love these cats. So cute. I'm just getting into watercolour paint and am loving how versatile it is, but so unpredictable, so am grateful for watching your video and the great tips x
Yes, it is unpredictable but fun. I must get mine out again 💕
Your cats are really gorgeous. I love the stripes, the polka dot bow tie, the moon and the stars and the black and white edge finishes this sweet little piece off beautifully. Well done Nina!
Thanks so much Maria. I’m really pleased with how this piece turned out 💕😻
Love the cute kitties! Adorable!
Thanks Susan 💕
Cute kitties . It's been great to see what others have come up with using this medium. Amazing . Thank you Nina for these prompts as they've encouraged me to try something I'd never have tried .
Thanks so much Maria. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed this months challenge and I’ve loved the projects you’ve created 💕
Nina, once again, you have delighted us with another simple project, enticing folks to play with watercolors. Love the whimsical kitties!

Nina your cats are awesome, great choice of colours and so cute. I've loved every one of your watercolours, each perfect in its own right. This has been a great month and one which I hope you will do again. Tfs xo
I’m so glad you enjoyed this month Elizabeth. I would love to repeat this again. My watercolours would still be on my shelf gathering dust, which would have been a shame as I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using them 💕💕💕 xox
Love love love those 2 cats!
Awww, thank you Hanny 😻
I have really enjoyed watching you do your whimsical cats, Nina! Your cats are precious! :-) This whole month of doing watercolors has been a wonderful experience for me. Nina, I am so glad that you chose watercolors for August. It has definitely challenged me to do more with them. It has been a great learning process along the way and I thank you so much for that, Nina. You are awesome!
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed this months watercolour theme. Its been a valuable learning process for me too and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using them 💕💕💕😻
love this make them all the time

Beautiful Nina I love the cats in watercolour.
Thanks Ruth, Its been fun trying something new this month 💕
I just love whimsy. Your cats are so cute. It looks like you’re home from your travels Nina, I hope you had a great time x
Hi Caroline. Yes home from our travels now. We had a wonderful time in Asia, and I’m glad to say the boys were well behaved in Spain too 😅. Wasn’t too sure what to expect with 4 17 year old lads! 💕😘 xxx
Nina Ribena 😂😂
Hello Nina, I love your cats. They are simply adorable. Thanks for sharing. Have a beautiful day!

Bravo! Look how much you’ve learned in 4 lessons! I think I like the flowers best as well. But they are all wonderful.
Awww, thanks so much Katie 💕💕💕😻
brilliant... best so far!!!
Thanks Katherine. I really enjoyed painting this 😻
These cats are full of character and I think they would be perfect for a birthday card for any cat-lover. I can think of several friends of mine that would like some so I may get cracking on those. I love the whimsy type designs so I think I will enjoy this week's challenge very much. Many thanks.
I agree that these would make simple cards. Enjoy 💕😻😻😻
Love them! 💕💫
Thanks Debbie 😻😻😻
Really enjoyed watching this. I’m new to watercolour and seeing your techniques and using different mediums really inspires me! Thank you. I’ll be doing this one too.
Thanks so much and Happy Creating 💕
These kitties are adorable. The closeup pictures really show the details well. Cats are great subjects for whimsy. Thanks for sharing watercolor experiences. -Marsha from Texas
Thanks Marsha. I’m glad we’ve done a month of watercolour as its been enough time to start to get to grips with them 💕
I love it Nina, thank you!
Thanks Mieke 😻😻😻
I love these so much, so much fun.
Thanks Ann, aren’t they cute 😻😻😻

Nina, don't matter about irregularity, on the contrary, these cats are lovely sweet meow, it's very successful ! thanks for sharing !🍬🍭✨🐾🙏🏾
I just love your art!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Mary 💕💕💕😻
Love 💕 these cats!
Thanks Nancy 😻
I have followed you for some time with your fabulous alcohol inks so this was a surprise ... but had no idea until right at the end of this video that you were trying watercolours for the first time - FANTASTIC! Loved your splodgy birds and these whimsical cats are so sweet! Tomorrow I must find the travel set of watercolours I gave up on 20 years ago after trying much too hard & of course failing to produce anything remotely grown-up - taking this doodling approach has to be the answer as a starting point. Thank you so much for this :)
The doodling approach is definitely a good way to get started. Its just so much fun. These cats are so simple to do and I hope you find your watercolours and give it a try. Enjoy 💕
💜💙💚
Thanks so much Wilma 😻💕
So cute! Liked how you did the stripes!
Thanks Marilyn 💕😻
Hello ,
Very cute the two Cat‘s and your work. Have a great Time for you .And friendly wishes from me .🍀A new good Year 2024. .
I love your whimsical cats...a bit Lois Wain-esque lol. I have only ever used water colour paints once (!) for a little cartoon cactus but found it so easy to muddy the colours. I think I have learned a lot from your series and feel I want to give it another go. I just love watching your videos and look forward to Sunday mornings!
Awww, thanks so much for your lovely comment. I’ve learned you definitely need to study your colour wheel with watercolours as they are completely unforgiving. Drying in between helps with avoiding muddiness. I hope you’ll dig yours out as I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed this month and I was scared to death of watercolours! Enjoy 💕💕💕
Love the cats sort of folk artsy
Thanks Sherry, they are aren’t they 😻😻😻
I simply adore this. I’m a new sub. I have lots and lots of paints and crafty stuff but I’ve never had the nerve to use them. Until now. You are lovely 😊
Aw, thanks so much for your lovely message Julie. I’m glad this has inspired you to give it a try. Happy Creating 💕
Oh my goodness!!! So beyond darling. You made me so nervous as you added and added extra details....but all turned out so very well!! You are so talented!! From a new subscriber Debbie and Dexter-Dog her rescued tiny chihuahua companion in sunny California. 👩🐾🌈😁👍
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Debbie 💕
They turned out beautifully! I have not had a chance to try any of this months prompts but today i am going to make time for art least one!
I think you’ll have fun with this Alicia. Enjoy 💕💕💕😻
I love them!
Thank you 😻
Love the cats, they look great.
Thank you 😻
I love whimsical anything and you do it beautifully. I’m trying watercolor but struggling to make it not look like a child painted it. I used to do acrylic and they were very nice pictures but for some reason watercolor seems to be much harder but you make it look easy. Love your stuff!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Carolyn. I find it easier to get a good result when I am working on good quality watercolour paper 💕
You make my heart happy as Stacy park says! Thanks!!
💕

Adorable!

Luv all your art
Thank you so much 💕
Try one stroke painting. Load a dry brush with acrylic paint. Use a dry brush with water colors. Dry each layer determine what part of the feather is lightest. Start pale, slowly as color. Try tiny lines in the end. Or use fine line pens to add the detail in the plumes.
Practice getting the feel of feathers by cutting a feather from print paper. Cut the slits down each side so you can see the shadows. Painting is using lights and darks to get the feeling of the object desired. Practice a lot on scratch paper ( lower grade water color/ craft paper) before making the whole bird. I saw a study in flower painting that magnified a portion of a legal before drawing the whole flower. Try this with your bird. Remember tail feathers will have a different yet same texture than those near the neck and breast.
(Ask Lindsey w. for ideas.)
Thanks so much for your encouragement Charlotte, it means a lot to me. I will definitely have another go at painting a rooster as I’m not one to give up and I really do want to achieve the same kind of look as the painting I was using as reference. I will watch a few videos on painting feathers I think and practice those first until I get the hang of it. You’ve given me some great ideas to try too. I’ve learned a lot this month and watercolour is something I will definitely be using more in my projects 💕💕💕🐓
Adorable❤️❤️❤️❤️
So cute, had to try it myself!
Yay! That’s fabulous 💕
I am so inspired, love it!!
Thanks Patti. Happy Creating 💙
