    I was looking at “20 Ways to Draw a Tulip”, but then I found two other books - “20 Ways to Draw a Tree” and “20 Ways to Draw Everything”. Couldn’t resist - I had Amazon points and got both for 63 cents! YES!

    Loving this video! You give me the courage to try new things. I take time everyday to play and explore watercolors and other mediums. My products no longer sit on the shelf looking at me, LOL! Trust me, I love the fact that my efforts are not repeatable, I learn something different every single day! That is why I love your vids. Thanks so much!

    Hi Denise, I hope I find you well? I love your videos they cheer me up when I'm not feeling my best. I didn't think I would like the colors in this one, but you surprised me, I loved the contrast between the indigo and pale green. You brought it all together with the gold and oil pastels, two more things to add to my wish list. It turned out so beautiful, could I do something similar? Well, I'm going to have a go, you are truly an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing. Lots of love from the UK, Dot X.

    Ok i tried doing your method … how do you keep from making mud.

    • @2lilowlsstudio
      @2lilowlsstudio  8 місяців тому

      Probably the colors I chose - they don’t make mud when they blend. Usually the complimentary colors mix and make mud. You could let colors dry a bit in between colors if you want less blending.
