    Simply wonderful! As someone who appreciates your book so much, it was a joy to watch your actual process. It was also so instructive to see the consistency of the paint and how much water you use to get those beautiful shaded effects. One of the things I continue to struggle with is the placement of leaves in relation to their adjoining flowers. I'm happy with the leaves and flowers separately, for the most part, but a lot of times combining them ends up looking stiff and awkward. A tutorial on achieving a more "organic" look would be great.

    • @deWintonPaperCo
      @deWintonPaperCo  4 роки тому

      Hi Kim,
      Thanks so much for your comment. I find that it's best to paint focal flowers first of all and then to fit foliage around those as leaves slot into smaller spaces much more easily. Then you can can add tiny filler flowers after that. But we will definitely be doing tutorials on this.

    How wonderful the leaves look and watching you doing them made me feel that maybe I could actually do some. I'm 71 and never done drawing or painting as when I tried many years ago at school I just didn't understand the process and so was useless. I want to figure out how I find the beginning of your lessons so I can see for myself what you are referring to. Thank you so much.

    What a wonderful video. I paused it a couple times to go off and paint some leaves. There's so much here it'll keep me playing for days or weeks. I'm having trouble mixing concentrated colors from half pans. I end up with it too watery to get a good dark stem. I will probably invest in tubes when it's time to refill.

    I love your teaching style 😊. The pace is good and the recap at the end is really helpful.
    I am trying to follow along and practice all the techniques but have been a bit frustrated by some less than great results. I have treated myself to some better quality paper but still find that the paint is not travelling on the paper in the way that you show. I’d love to know whether you think that paper quality is the main factor.

    • @deWintonPaperCo
      @deWintonPaperCo  3 роки тому +1

      Paper quality is very important but something that takes a bit of time to master - especially for beginners - is the amount of water and colour ratio on the brush to get it to do what you want. I recommend having a look at my blending and layering episode in watercolour for beginners x

    @donnacarraway9182 3 роки тому

    Great lesson! Thank you!! I watched this particular lesson because it said smooth sided and the problem that I have is when I paint (on cold press paper) I often get a darker outline around the paint. Now I know that you are maybe going to say that it’s too much water in my paint but when I make a color lighter by adding water (I may have just answered myself) I end up with a wet wash...Maybe I should try to use less paint on my brush? But of coarse that doesn’t work for a large area like a sky! Help! Thank you so much!!💕

    • @deWintonPaperCo
      @deWintonPaperCo  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Donna, you need to mix up a watery colour in your palette, clean off and blot your brush then add the colour gradually so there isn’t too much pigment or water. Then keep gradually adding colour but don’t add any more water to your brush. This should give you an even leaf x
