I never understand when people complain about artists who talk during their tutorials. The whole point is we are trying to learn and it’s free! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!❤
Thanks Sheri. I think some people hurting and just lash out on whoever they can and that falls under critiquing in a poor way. It’s ok, since this video I’ve gotten a lot tougher to things said and not let them effect me, life’s to short.
Please please please continue to explain your instructions. This is informational not just entertainment. I skip music (instructional) videos. Thank you for sharing.
Self taught. For 40 years have thought one can learn skill and technique (any art: drama, music, dance, written word); it’s the intuition and willingness to - after years of practice - ditch technique. Experiment breeds the artist. Salut.
I found your journey with watercolour so very inspirational and I personally like your narrative, keep it going! You have certainly inspired me to try my hand at painting. At 74, it's not too late I suppose!
I love when you talk. Finally someone who can talk the fear of watercolours out of me. I use acrylucs normally, but watching you work is fascinating and inspiring. Thank you.
And if you were with me in a class and were scared i would make you literally throw paint onto the paper to get you started, sometime we have to be pushed into the swimming pool. In this case its a pool of watercolor.
Yeah, i feel adding those moments into the video beneficial it helps so everyone how i go about getting out of those situations and it also makes me more human. Thanks of tuning in.
@@debralynrosenbachart Certainly. A lot of people use “abstract” to cover a random, thoughtless approach that is wholly reliant on the happy accident. You, on the other hand, showed clear planning and composition from the start with your intentional preservation of white space. You built depth through an excellent understanding of atmospheric perspective. You receded with blues, light values, and soft focus, and then came forward in layers of warmer colors, darker values, and well defined lines with the rigger (I view the rigger work as my reward for having done the heavy lifting). As a result of your intentionality, your beautiful painting has organization and three-dimensionality, while retaining the vibrant spontaneity of an actual abstraction of a real subject. That’s no inkblot test.
I am laughing out loud! “Oh look..I keep doing it!” “…stuck on stupid…”. I have done that, thought that and keep doing it still. To hear you say the same thoughts out loud just tickled me to no end. I am a realistic watercolor artist that dreams of being able to “see” what you do and it is such a pleasure to watch you work. Thank you for sharing your vision.
I love loose, abstract watercolor but as a control freak I really struggle. So glad I found you…you make letting go and letting paint & water do their thing, look do-able!
Thanks! I needed a lesson in abstract expressive painting. Tired of painting trees and landscapes. Great art and excellent teacher. Keep talking, you are a happy person!
This is stunning, Debra. And I’ll ditto what Anneke said, chat as much as you like. It’s your channel, you’re the boss lady, do whatever you like! Not to mention that I always pick up a good tip to two, for example, not to let the bleedproof white mix with your colors, very good to know.
I am really inspirers of this tutorial. You pegged it for me! Following where the paint leads you, and building up layers. It is such a pleasure to hear you talk through your videos so please continue. I can relate to feeling that I should have stopped when achieving a pattern I like then messing it up with too much of the same. But seeing you gracefully make a few adjustments to produce a grand end result is something that is worth a lot. This knowledge is valuable and I thank you for sharing your work. I’m a self taught hobby painter and hope to see more of your intuitive painting style.
I’m glad the channel is inspiring you! I’m also self taught, thats why some of my approaches to painting will differ from those around me more professionally trained. I’m just a gal with a brush and a love for painting and sharing what I’ve learned along my own journey.
So glad i stumbled upon this! I love abstract work & recently started using more watercolors for their simplicity but have been really stuck. Right off the bat I felt old scarcity come up when you laid down a whole expensive sheet of paper! Aaaaah it’s been ages since I was broke but by golly, there’s no creativity where there is fear. This was gorgeous and cheers to logging off and finding your own voice.
You do not talk too much!! I like you to explain your thinking on what and how you are working with the colors and brushes. Thank you! Merry Christmas! Hope you have a blessed one!!
l love the jewel tones on bright white. It's your tutorial and I like listening to you so much that I rewind to hear what you said to affirm what was important. Beautifully done.
I love your talking, don't hold back. I love your art and your message of finding the painting by allowing the paint to lead the way. All in all, great video. Thoroughly enjoyable experience, thank you.
Can’t get enough of you talking an chatting about what you’re doing and why ! The colours you choose, how you build up layers, correct and change areas… love it all !!! Thank you so much ☺️ xxx
Thank you so much Debra, I really really enjoyed watching you create this absolutely and utterly stunning and amazing piece. I absolutely adore ❤❤❤❤ and love ❤❤❤❤ the painting it’s breathtakingly beautiful too. But, most of all I just love ❤❤ listening and watching whilst you create, your style is terrific and you’re not pretentious in anyway, which is so refreshing too. I’m going to join your facebook group too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!! I try not to let the masses of peoples opinions change me…I just produce me as I am. I have my moments of insecurity from time to time. I think it showed up in that video. Hey, If they don’t like me they can hit mute 😂
I have yet to find another artist enjoy the journey of color from their imagination! Bravo!! Exactly my way of looking at creating plus enjoy the process! Thank you
Ohh gosh you're a woman of my own heart with your "loose" painting style and tutorial... really had to have a little giggle at "I don't now how to stop". I'm so glad there are others out there who love it and do it like I do...I will absolutely keep on watching your tutorials. It's such a pleasure to watch you work and I can learn so much from you...I have always painted and, yes, I did paint in aquarel but not since I went to art college and that was more years ago then I want to think about. And since then I only painted in either oil or acrylic. Only very recently I went back to watercolour and discovered that it is a really fun media to work with. Thank you for sharing your ideas...
Beautiful! I'm going to try to create something pretty like that tonight. I'm just now starting to get into watercolor painting and so far I love it. I've always done acrylic.
Beautiful.I have never done anything loose like this ,but found this very nice to watch and your speaking throughout helps explain your technique perfectly…it’s your Chanel and it’s rude of people to comment about you talking throughout…It’s nice to hear why and where your adding each colour.As I said your work is beautiful so I have just subscribed 🥰
Fantastic idea and composition. Watercolors are so amazing. I can appreciate the intiitive work. I was doing intuitive type work; I see faces and complete them. The composition is better than what i contrive. Love to hear artists ideas, like not go around copying. Thank you today.
Your video popped up on my suggested list since I recently watched a couple of beginner videos. I'm mainly a paper crafter. I enjoyed watching your painting come to life and how you explained what you were doing. One thing you mentioned is so true for any crafting and that is to try not to watch too many videos. Often crafters are trying to duplicate other's techiques and style, they lose touch with their own creativity.
I think watching a ton of videos is great..fill the brain…but don’t copy. Just take the tips and trick and go be your own unique self. I guess you could say I’m not a huge fan of copycats 😂 thanks for tuning in!
I loved what you said about not watching too many videos on watercolor painting. It is frustrating sometimes, but it still seems like I get a few nuggets of gold from different people. I really like your intuitive style and appreciate seeing you correct "mistakes". I'm going to take a watercolor journey this afternoon. Thank you so much. You do beautiful work.
Thank you! I think you might have misunderstood, I think you should watch them, just don’t try to copy what you see, listen to the informations, take it in and then just go create your own art.
Just found this…. Brand new to watercolour, to art. Not satisfied with copying tutorials as it is not art from my soul.. i am inspired to play and do … now!
Ahhh, I love your way of thinking!!!! I really try to encourage others not to copy but to be inspired. I get some need to copy to learn but its so freeing to just throw some paint down and roll with it, sometimes the most magical things happen, and a lot is always learned in the process. Enjoy painting!!!
Love this. I'm new at painting and I would have stopped long before you did. Then I watched and saw how much more beautiful you made it. It's the one thing I always ask myself - when would I stop? So glad you continued. I also like to hear you talk. I feel like we are together painting! Happy New Year
Thanks Diane. I hope it helps as you move forward learning. Check out my new FB group too, it a place to connect with me so I can see your art and help make suggestions.
I really appreciated hearing about how your intuitive mind was working as you moved through all the stages of this painting! It gave me a lot of encouragement to trust my own instincts as I play around with the paint 😃😃Thanks so much!
I love what you are saying and the message here...especially about tutorials on here...you cannot find your style etc most of the time ..end up Frustrated and stressed >the opposite of what you want to feel creating art... I love it. i have been creating things since i could hold a crayon.. and I love all kinds of art... thank you for sharing some of your knowledge .
Thanks Izzy! I’m jealous you’ve had all those years with art! My journey did start until I was in my 50’s! I was busy creating in different ways, mainly Interiors for over 20 years, now it’s time to relax a bit and just paint! Thanks for tuning in.
Debra, so glad I stumbled upon your video. I’ve been doing realistic watercolor paintings for fifteen years and have been pushing myself to loosen up. After watching your video and taking to heart your commentary I’m excited to try your intuitive technique.
Awesome Ted! It will be quite an adjustment to switch gears and not paint everything you see and make it look realistic…we get so programmed. But it’s surely attainable. In worse case scenario you could always take your glasses off or squint your eyes.
Really enjoyed watching your creation. It was meditative. I found myself saying “I would define this and that” …. and I saw that you would often do this. 😃 Thank you for your time. 🙏
I really loved the colors and composition in this painting, they were brilliant and vibrant! I'm a fan of hearing your thoughts and often feel like I have the same thoughts in some of my work, too.... that makes me feel like I'm doing ok rather than fumbling around. Maybe we all fumble around ! Thanks for sharing.
You are funny. I love that someone else calls themselves stupid while painting! Don't we all do that dumb thing every now and then? So human and honest.
I am new to watercolor (exciting and nerve wracking). I bought a pad of 9x12 to begin with but didn’t love taping down as it was limiting to me so I made my pad into a block by putting a board on top with weights and then with brush, I painted on Elmer’s glue along all edges except for a half inch where I can start the separation of pages. It works for me as I experiment!! I love your loose style! This is what I need to learn as I seem to always focus on being way to finely detailed. Wish me luck in this learning journey!
Don’t be a nervous wreck, just pick on subject and paint it over and over again. When i first started I painted a ton of humming birds, then i painted different birds. My suggestion to you is not to jump around to much, keep things simple and find one subject and practice that and learn how to create your paint consistencies, learn about values and if your want to learn to be loose then learning how to control he water is key. It just takes a lot of practice, and if your willing to put the time in your art will grow and improve, good luck!
Oh trust me i get it, its hard to please everyone, some people just want to watch and not listen to me, and I get it. But that’s why they make a mute button! 😊
Love love your painting thinking 😊. Seriously I’ve feel I have found you on purpose. I can’t wait to paint. And want to continue following your classes. 💖
Wonderful! There is nothing to fear, its just water and pigment. Just play and have fun, no need for pressure and making anything just enjoy making color washes.
Really enjoyed this! Especially your thought process - it reminds me of the way my mind works. I want to move towards this free flowing wet in wet approach with vibrant colors... I will be watching more! Thank you.
Obrigada Debra por compartilhar o seu conhecimento conosco!!❤🥰 Aprendi com você a fazer uma aquarela mais fluida e vibrante! O truque de usar papel.para tirar excesso ,facilita a nossa pintura.Parabéns!😊Deus a abençoe.
I love this painting and I love the process you shared with us. It's nice to see videos that are so real like this. Even though you mentioned the colors became muddy and lifted the colors up a bit, I really do like the way it looked, leaving a bit of a blurred background. In my opinion, this truly is a masterpiece of art. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to watching your other videos.
Really enjoyed this video. But I have to say I thinkin the beginning it’s good to watch tutorials. I learned so much and through them, discovered what I love to paint!
Its been awhile since I filed this, I dont recall exactly with at I might have mentioned but I still believe that watching tutorials are good, but at some point its good to then take everything you’ve watched and then put it into action and create with no guidance. I get that some need to copy, but it can become a crutch for some.
@Debra Lyn Rosenbach Watercolor & Mixed Media I totally agree. I no longer rely on tutorials but in the beginning I did, more or less to get y bearings. But I also didn't realize I had this talent! So I started so to speak from scratch! So now, I'm able to kind of do my own thing. I love how your abstract came out by the way! I look forward to seeing more.
Thank you so much Debra Lynn, I really really enjoyed watching you create this amazing and awesome painting....And I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up 👍 too. I really really love ❤️ this painting and, I really really enjoyed listening to you too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags
Thanks so much Mags! I really appreciate your support with subscribing and a thumbs up, it helps a lot in the UA-cam community! Be safe, stay well, and God bless.
Another gorgeous painting Debra Lyn…and I am now saving up to buy those Mission Gold paints because I love the vibrant colors…so beautiful! As for you “talking to much”…absolutely not. It is great to hear your thought process and I love the fact that the flowers are “made up”…no stress on copying something exact. I love the abstract approach you have and the subject…flowers are also a favorite with me. Thank-you once again…stay safe and God bless!
Thanks Katerina! You’ll love them! I think all of us have to agree, when we hear ourselves on video, or tape we say “eww is that how I sound?” Then I panic and think, oh geez I’m I rambling on? I’m sure someone can’t stand me on here, 😂…oh well! That’s why mute is a fantastic option. Thanks so much for tuning in!! Make sure to check me out on my new FB group. Merry Christmas🎄
Your painting is beautiful and yes !, everyone should do their own style love this since I just started water color and I love it thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊 those smiles are how you made me feel thanks again

Awesome! I’m glad to hear that!
the painting is simply a MIRACLE!!! I really like the abstraction. What a sense of proportion and taste!! BRAVO!!
Thank you for highlighting your mistakes and making light of them. It made me feel comfortable with doing the same.❤
Yeah, i feel adding those moments into the video beneficial it helps so everyone how i go about getting out of those situations and it also makes me more human. Thanks of tuning in.
I never thought I would live long enough to see an abstract painter who was wholly intentional. Thanks!
What do you mean? can you expound on that. I’m curious.
@@debralynrosenbachart Certainly. A lot of people use “abstract” to cover a random, thoughtless approach that is wholly reliant on the happy accident.

Yesterday I swished my ball point pen in my rinse water! 🤣

Thanks for watching Phyllis! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, I try to keep them real, sometimes watching an artist paint can put you to sleep.
Absolutely love your advice on not simply copying everyone. I've found your videos very inspirational. Thank you.
Amazing perspective! Love watching and listening to you.
I love loose, abstract watercolor but as a control freak I really struggle. So glad I found you…you make letting go and letting paint & water do their thing, look do-able!

This is stunning, Debra. And I’ll ditto what Anneke said, chat as much as you like. It’s your channel, you’re the boss lady, do whatever you like! Not to mention that I always pick up a good tip to two, for example, not to let the bleedproof white mix with your colors, very good to know.

Love that loose style "see where it gets you but still in control " Must try that too,
talking process with paint is always my favorite conversation
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for tuning in!
I have yet to find another artist enjoy the journey of color from their imagination! Bravo!! Exactly my way of looking at creating plus enjoy the process! Thank you

I'm so grateful I came across you and your work so I have subscribed and said a little thank you - I wish it could be bigger.
Thank you so much!!!!
I am new to watercolor (exciting and nerve wracking). I bought a pad of 9x12 to begin with but didn’t love taping down as it was limiting to me so I made my pad into a block by putting a board on top with weights and then with brush, I painted on Elmer’s glue along all edges except for a half inch where I can start the separation of pages. It works for me as I experiment!!
I love your loose style! This is what I need to learn as I seem to always focus on being way to finely detailed. Wish me luck in this learning journey!
Don’t be a nervous wreck, just pick on subject and paint it over and over again. When i first started I painted a ton of humming birds, then i painted different birds. My suggestion to you is not to jump around to much, keep things simple and find one subject and practice that and learn how to create your paint consistencies, learn about values and if your want to learn to be loose then learning how to control he water is key. It just takes a lot of practice, and if your willing to put the time in your art will grow and improve, good luck!
it's great when you talk because I can learn so much - if you were quiet I wouldn't learn a thing!
Oh trust me i get it, its hard to please everyone, some people just want to watch and not listen to me, and I get it. But that’s why they make a mute button! 😊
Debra Lynn, thank you for making these videos! I love all you tips and use of “other” items to make marks!
Ohhhh this kind of watercolor is brand new to me...I love ❤️ this!!!
Awesome! I’m glad you found me. Oh girl, intuitive water colors so freeing and fun to do…you just go with the flow!
Love love your painting thinking 😊. Seriously I’ve feel I have found you on purpose. I can’t wait to paint. And want to continue following your classes. 💖
Im glad you’ve found me! Enjoy!!! 💕 😊
Your painting helped me to re think about my fear of water colours. I am going to give it a try. Thank you
Wonderful! There is nothing to fear, its just water and pigment. Just play and have fun, no need for pressure and making anything just enjoy making color washes.
Absolutely in love with it❤
Thanks 😊 I learned a lot and like your commentary. It's very valuable . So many things you said resonated with me . Thanks for teaching so well

You’re so welcome! Thanks so much for tuning in!!
I love this painting and I love the process you shared with us. It's nice to see videos that are so real like this. Even though you mentioned the colors became muddy and lifted the colors up a bit, I really do like the way it looked, leaving a bit of a blurred background. In my opinion, this truly is a masterpiece of art. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to watching your other videos.
Really enjoyed this video. But I have to say I thinkin the beginning it’s good to watch tutorials. I learned so much and through them, discovered what I love to paint!
Its been awhile since I filed this, I dont recall exactly with at I might have mentioned but I still believe that watching tutorials are good, but at some point its good to then take everything you’ve watched and then put it into action and create with no guidance. I get that some need to copy, but it can become a crutch for some.
@Debra Lyn Rosenbach Watercolor & Mixed Media I totally agree. I no longer rely on tutorials but in the beginning I did, more or less to get y bearings. But I also didn't realize I had this talent! So I started so to speak from scratch! So now, I'm able to kind of do my own thing. I love how your abstract came out by the way! I look forward to seeing more.
Thank you so much Debra Lynn, I really really enjoyed watching you create this amazing and awesome painting....And I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up 👍 too. I really really love ❤️ this painting and, I really really enjoyed listening to you too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags
Thanks so much Mags! I really appreciate your support with subscribing and a thumbs up, it helps a lot in the UA-cam community! Be safe, stay well, and God bless.
This was a lovely experience! So loose and wispyish but a lot of knowledge about color. I will have to watch this again. Thank you.
Thank you! I’m glad your enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
Magical glow...
Beautiful abstract..
From Mary.. Ireland 🇮🇪
So interesting. I really love your work
Thank you very much!
Talk it helps. Lovely. Inspired me to get my paintbrushes out again
Awesome! It’s so good for the soul to create!
Thank you so much for all of t he information you shared doing this! I need to stop trying to lead the paint:):) Anxious to try this!
Yeah i would definitely do some washes of color, its when we get to really enjoy the beauty of watercolor…enjoy!
Another gorgeous painting Debra Lyn…and I am now saving up to buy those Mission Gold paints because I love the vibrant colors…so beautiful! As for you “talking to much”…absolutely not. It is great to hear your thought process and I love the fact that the flowers are “made up”…no stress on copying something exact. I love the abstract approach you have and the subject…flowers are also a favorite with me. Thank-you once again…stay safe and God bless!
Thanks Katerina! You’ll love them! I think all of us have to agree, when we hear ourselves on video, or tape we say “eww is that how I sound?” Then I panic and think, oh geez I’m I rambling on? I’m sure someone can’t stand me on here, 😂…oh well! That’s why mute is a fantastic option.
Thanks so much for tuning in!! Make sure to check me out on my new FB group. Merry Christmas🎄
Beautiful! It looks like peppers on the vine.
