I've watched a lot of watercolor tutorials online, yours is one of the most easy to understand and you explained the techniques very clearly and straightforward, very informative. music is great too! Thanks!
I keep finding these wonderful tutorials in UA-cam. I’ll be honest that I’m not into painting characters, but you are definitely talented. I love the soft transitions in your rose, and you make me want to practice the techniques you’ve used here.
Hey! I am from Russia and I love to watch for this cool artist! So beautifully to see how these awesome masterpieces are being made with help of colors and brushes :)
not sure if this was asked already/ but what is that ceramic palette? i am a bit of a hoarder with my supplies and this one is calling my name! helpful techniques. ty from a new subscriber
Might I ask what masking tape you use? It looks like it has a very waxy finish. I use either washi tape or just masking tape from the hardware store and it always tears the paper 😭 I am still learning how to watercolour.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this tutorial. It does inspire me to approach painting flowers in a different and improved perspective. I always mess up the wet wash whenever I do backgrounds and I end up with streaky lines instead of a smooth gradient like yours. I'm going to give your method a try and see how it goes. Hopefully the Borneo Equator heat do not mess it up 😉😁
@@Finelinernerd I did give it a try a few days ago on a piece that I was working on and it gave me a wonderful smooth gradient without any blotches. Next practice, I'm going to give the rose a go. Thanks so much once again 😊
Beside the few complaints at the start of the video would you say you enjoy using this sketchbook? Is the passer really 100% cotton and would you buy another if you could be sure the impression/staining of the first page wouldn’t happen again ?? Thanks for your time, beautiful painting!! I’m subscribed for more ! Edit: you answered my questions in the end of the video so i guess i just would now ask if you would still recommend this sketchbook today??
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I LOVE the look of watercolor flowers but have struggled with how to make them look like you just did. This will help me tremendously! ❤
Thank you..... Im 62 yrs old and I just started watercolour painting a couple of weeks ago. I couldnt work out my "styler" then came across your channel. I followed your directions ( sort of ...lol ) and am thrilled with the result. I wish I could show it to you. I prefer to stay away from instagram. 🙂
I always just smear the paint and make wavy moves when I make flowers, because I don have the hability to make them. I'm really scared of realism. I'm so impatient 😓
I think that's the thing, I'll try to start practicing drawing flowers first (and collecting patience too)♥️ and then I'll apply the tips on the vid!! Thank you so much !
You can use the same techniques on a smaller rose, you know when it hasn’t fully bloomed? They’re much easier to draw and paint but it’s great practise for larger flowers later 🤗🖤
Hi, I discovered you yesterday and have now watched all your videos. I love the non faff and informative videos ha! Was wondering if you've ever tried the Paul Rubens watercolour paints? the packaging looks lovely and I now want a pink pad!!!!
I’m so glad to hear that because I do try to get to the point ASAP, I haven’t used their normal colours but I have got their glitter watercolours, they’re gorgeous paints. I hope to try their standard palette some day 🖤
Hey Hilary, I am indeed, I actually need to update the last one with some more colour theory, and I’ll include how to make any skin tone in one video I think. Sorry for the delay, I took quite a long time off at the beginning of lockdown and only recently got back to all this 🖤
First of all, I love your art and I liked this idea of watercolor tutorials! Also I like your human drawing style (sorry my English, idk how to describe it)... So I was wondering... Would you make any human drawing tutorials? I'd reaaaally enjoy it! Thank you
Hi Mateus, thanks for your kind message, I would love to make a tutorial about drawing people, I’ll add it to my list. Would you like something like how to draw anatomy? Or faces?
@@Finelinernerd To be really honest, I'd like to learn both if possible, but mainly faces hah. I follow you in Instagram and I really like your style. Thank you for replying and considering that.
I Love love love your art so much, I started drawing last year and tbh you are one of the people that motivated me to draw❤️, you inspire me to be better and work harder!👊🏼💖
When I first tried this sketchbook out I was very disappointed for various reasons (high expectations, first time using cotton paper, back of the book broke right away). But at about the third page in, I came to really enjoy the paper, the format and the way paint looked on it
This is why I normally use loose sheets instead of sketchbooks, but there’s something so appealing about a book isn’t there? Are you enjoying using cotton paper now though?
@@Finelinernerd Having painted on Canson watercolor paper for a while, I definitely enjoyed the change to cotton! I wanted to try out more brands of cotton paper as well, so I recently bought Fabriano artistico. It feels completely different to Paul Rubens, but in a very good way! Will try more in the future. :)
@@Finelinernerd I can recommend the Fabriano artistico paper. But I've only used it a few times so far and I haven't tried Arches yet, so I am not sure how it holds up against that! I know that Arches is supposed to be one of the best on the market, right? Will definitely buy the fine grain one in the future :)
Yeah they’re supposed to be but I do hear great things about Fabriano. I used to love Beepaper’s cotton paper but it’s so hard to get in the UK. I’ll definitely check Fabriano our, thanks for the recommendation 🖤
Wow it's genius to swatch the dominant colors! Definitely gonna try that - great video as always!
Hey Jo! Let me know how you get on with it 🤗🖤
I've watched a lot of watercolor tutorials online, yours is one of the most easy to understand and you explained the techniques very clearly and straightforward, very informative. music is great too! Thanks!

I love the way you painted this rose ♥️ it’s stunning!
Thanks FraFry! That’s so nice of you to say 🖤🖤
You are a really great teacher! Thank you for making these tutorials and sharing your talent! 3:46
This is lovely! I love the dish you are mixing on. Know where I could find one?

Was thinking to buy this sketchbook🤔 glad I didn't 😂❤
Might I ask what masking tape you use? It looks like it has a very waxy finish. I use either washi tape or just masking tape from the hardware store and it always tears the paper 😭 I am still learning how to watercolour.
When can you go a beautiful seascape. Or, Would you?
Excellent. Such a beautiful soft colour technique ❤❤
I thought the pink Paul Ruben’s sketchbooks were hot press?
whats the size of that chinese brush you are using? it looks the perfect size for such small page.
Love this rose, beautiful- thanks
Beautiful! I have no idea how I’ve missed so many of your videos lately x
Which app do you use for swatching? I have an iphone
I really like these little books too, I've gone through a few of them.

Hey Maureen! It’s my pleasure! I’m so glad you enjoyed watching 🖤🖤 I hope your washes go well, let me know if the tip worked for you! 🖤
@@Finelinernerd I did give it a try a few days ago on a piece that I was working on and it gave me a wonderful smooth gradient without any blotches. Next practice, I'm going to give the rose a go. Thanks so much once again 😊
I’m so happy to hear that 🖤🖤🖤
Your art is always beautiful and your videos are so so helpful. Thank you! Lots of love from India
Thank you Nat, that’s so kind! 🖤
Super late to comment on this, but try the Pantone app for picking colours! The app makes a 5 colour palette from your picture
Oooh! That’s a great tip! Thank you!
trying to find you on patreon, and am having difficulties. Would you please post a link? Thanks
Hey River! It’s because I have an 18+ filter on due to life drawing posts, type Patreon.com/finelinernerd into your browser and you’ll find me 🤗🖤🖤🖤
Wow..just beautiful xx

Love your artwork!
I’m so glad to hear that! 🖤🖤
Beautiful
Thank you for some awesome ways to paint roses 💞💞💞 I can’t wait to try it today💞💞💞 Awesome artwork!
I always just smear the paint and make wavy moves when I make flowers, because I don have the hability to make them. I'm really scared of realism. I'm so impatient 😓
I’m often impatient too but once you break this down into little steps it’s a little easier, I find drawing the flower the most difficult part 🙈
I think that's the thing, I'll try to start practicing drawing flowers first (and collecting patience too)♥️ and then I'll apply the tips on the vid!! Thank you so much !

The thumbnail clickbaited me. Wow. This is incredibly aesthetic! 😍
