Watercolor Daisies, How I Paint These Beautiful White Flowers - My Technique and Tips
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- In this video, I am painting these little white African Daisies. White was a challenge for me. White I found is never really white, but instead has hints of yellows, greys, pinks. I have found success in using a very watered down version of "payne's gray" by Winsor Netwon.
For the leaves, I use a "dabbing" of the tip of my brush, press down after drawing a thin line I combined, greens, cad yellow, and even some Prussian Blue! I then ensured I went in while each flower bunch was still damp and dabbed in with the point of my brush, some more Payne's Grey, right into the center of the flower and let it spread and blend for a beautiful shadowy look to the bast of the petals.
This tutorial may have some useful tips as well as "Simple and easy little Spring flowers". • Watercolor SIMPLE and ...
If you havent watched yet my Secret tips • Watercolor secret tips... it has some great tips on water control as well as my easy little lavenders • Watercolor EASY Lavend... which also uses this fun little "dabbing" technique. When you master your water control, you will feel more confident in your paintings and painting with this magical medium.

Simply beautiful! I love how you used the grey to define the petals yet they still look white. I learn so much from your videos. I can’t wait to paint this. Thanks again Debbie.
Good morning Nadine! I'm so happy this helped, I remember after years of trying to paint white flowers, I figured this out and thought, how did I not know this? You made my day by sharing that you are learning from my videos which makes me so happy! I will continue to think about the best helpful tips I can share with you. Happy painting Nadine I cant wait to hear how your "white DAisies" come out!
Thank you Debbie for this very informative tutorial. I learned a thing or two. 👍
Im glad you enjoyed it and it was helpful! I LOVE to hear you learned something. I Hope you will be giving it a try. Have fun most of all
Hi Debbie, thank you for this fun tutorial of the pretty daisies. ❤. Helene
My pleasure Helene, I get so many of these little white flowers in my yard, I just had to paitn them, although not a fan of the leaves but the littl flowers are so wonderful. *They also dont last long after I pick them ?) Have a wonderful and creative day friend.
Look forward to your videos every day
I'm so happy to hear that Laura, and that they are providing fun and value. Happy painting friend, I hope you give this one a try~ Most of all have fun!
Good morning. I love this technicque so much. I'll never paint another flower any other way. I really love my Dagato brushes. They have two different sets and after I got the first one I ordered the other one. What a nice variety of brushes and a great price. I also love the Artisto paper. Thanks for the recomendations. It really helps to have the right teacher, brushes, paper and paints.
Mybpleasure Ann! I am loving the Ducati brushes as well and Artisto pads. It’s so nice to know we don’t have to put out a huge investment of dollars to have fun and enjoy watercolors! Stay tuned Inhave another brand I came upon that I can’t wait to share with you. Great quality and excellent price!
You are a wonderful teacher. I wish I would have found you when I first started with watercolor. Most of this I have learned by watching so many different videos.
Wonderful Amanda, I'm trying to slow down my processes and think about the small little tricks, and techniques I automatically put into place! I've been painting for so so long; they just come without thinking. I'm so happy that I might have something fun for you as well! I too remember starting out so many years ago, and thinking there's so much to learn. I've had so many teachers and there are so many incredibly talented teachers, but I had to find ones that I resonated with, and liked their style :-) Happy painting Amanda! Thanks for stopping in. D
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy I’m newly subscribed and plan to keep watching. I haven’t had any formal teaching. Everything I’ve learned has been from hours and hours of watching UA-cam videos. I still consider myself a beginner. Thank you for sharing so much with the world. It’s truly a gift.
@@amandaterrio4823 I feel that’s the best way to learn , I took in school then college, althiugh was very turned off in college as there were too many rules :)
I like to paint how I like to paint and learn what interests me and then give everything My unique touch that’s true art for me:) Let me know if there’s something j particular you are curious about :) thanks for subscribing and being here Amanda! Happy painting!
You are a wonderful tutor and do beautiful work.

Good morning Mtm Mtm, Im so glad you enjoyed. I always thought it was so challenging to paint white flowers, so I never did. Years ago I took a class in painting white flowers, and found this technique works! Happy painting!
Very beautiful. I need to practice leaves more
Yes! A wonderful pasttime practice, creating long and flowy, short and fatter, different glazes, color mixes, my favorite is olive green and prussian blue together. I paint these quite often in the evening, just for fun and to relax.
Love it!!❤
Thank you, I hope you try them, they were an awful lot of fun, for a white flower! These pop up all over my yard in the Spring. Happy creating friend.
Beautiful ❤
Good morning Puffy! I haven't forgotten about your field of flowers! They are on my list for this week, I'm trying to find a fun, easy way to paint them. Cant wait to share it with you. Happy Painting my friend!
Thank you so much Debbie.That was so informative and wonderful ❤
My pleasure Eithene! So happy to have you here. I Hope I Can continue to bring you fun tips and valuable techniques for you watercolor painting journey! Happy painting!
Thank you, very helpful! And i love your colorwheel
Good morning Libby! I'snt it fun, I've had several and I love this one the best, maybe I should link it in description.
For you to start- amzn.to/3MRq13R
I get asked a lot about it. I also am putting together a tutorial on Color Theory 101. Interesting fun fact, in college I was completely bored by color theory, wasn't until the last 10 years I became fascinated somewhat with color theory! They are really fun to make your own too. Happy painting Libby.
I love your technique
Wonderful! I'm so happy it resonates with your learning style. I'm doing my best to think about those things that over the decades helped me. Happy painting Dawn!
Your daisies definitely look better than mine. I forgot to do the foreshortening with the petals on the front...more practice. Lol.
Yes it takes time for our brains to get that perception! its a little but of a habit shift for sure! You will all of a sudden go to draw this way, and it will feel easier and easier, and make more sense! Thats when you get excited, stand up and give yourself a high five! Yeah!
Thank you for another great tutorial, color mixing is very helpful. Perhaps if you could remove your hands in the video, that would be most appreciated.
Good morning MYR , I'm glad I was able to help... I will see what I can do. I'm a newbie here on UA-cam, and amazed t how many things there are to think about while videoing (along with videoing) lol I do my best to take in everyone's, suggestions, and requests to continue to get better! Thanks for joining me here MYR, Happy painting!
