As an 81 yr old newbie your style has taught me a lot today so I liked & subbed. I am going to your home page to learn what else you are offering. Thank you 3x.
Lindsay I have really bad anxiety and your art is amazing yes, but it’s so much more than that. It’s the cadence of the way you speak, the tones of your voice, and the morsels of family life or advice that you share with each new video. So thank you for just being you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I don’t think your videos are ever too long. As someone who is relatively new to doing art (1.5 years) and very new to watercolour, I watch your videos for 4-5 hours per day. Your teaching style and creativity are very inspiring!
Woohoo! Next project. Make food botanicals to put in the kitchen. Mount them on wood panels and wax them to protect them. Going to your playlist. NOBODY does food like you Lindsay. You are the MASTER. Thanks Lindsay. 🥰😘💙💙
I love watching your sketches transform into a masterpiece. I really appreciate botanicals since I'm so terrible any thing realistic. Thanks for sharing!
I have that with portraits. I can look for hours on @ArleeBean her channel. Mine Still look like a smileyface with nose to big jaw to small and croocked ears on my end and I can asure you that was no selfie with paint :P I give up, I will just stick to botanicals where I can even work with a blob of misplaced paint and a micron lol
What a wonderful mushroom! Great job! Yes, my dog likes an umbrella over her in rainy weather also. So cute!!💕
This is def one of my favorites. The shadows you create make this look so real.... it’s such a great skill I hope to get better at. You’re amazing Lindsay. Thank you for being so awesome...can’t wait to give this a few tries.
This was so soothing to watch, Lindsay! I've been really focused on keeping up with Inktober this month so I haven't had a lot of time to watch for relaxation. I don't remember you doing many(any?) botanicals like this before. You usually do more loose watercolour florals- but you really have a lovely eye for these. The mushroom has so much subtle texture and colour nuance; it looks real without being stiff at all. Gorgeous!
YAAAAAAAY!! I absolutely love the organic shapes and colors of mushrooms and fungi. So glad you made this video. Can't wait to paint this!!
My Internet went out for nearly 3 days, so I couldn't watch. Glad it's back up. Missed you. You're right about not stressing. I went for a walk yesterday in our park, didn't worry about not being on-line and just enjoyed the fall colors, and picked up some leaves I hope to paint. Good job with the mushroom, loved it! (and my brushes--and everything--hides from me too (yeah, I just didn't see it!))
I love your watercolor botanicals! Great tutorial! I appreciate you.
What a sweet little painting Lindsay!! Colours are lovely.
This is so fun to watch it emerge, love the colors this looks so real and very relaxing to watch. Puppy sounds so cute..
The mushroom cap detail actually looks like there's a bare tree in the middle with grasses in the foreground, it adds a whole other dimension to the painting. 😊
Don't worry about losing the brushes, it's when you spend 10 minutes looking for glasses you're *actually wearing* that you need to be concerned.... or so I'm told, because that definitely did not happen to me today. Nope. 😇 😂🤓
I watch very few videos over 35 minutes, but I really enjoy your long videos as I find them very relaxing. 😊
I like getting cosy in my room on a rainy Autumn/Winter day and painting - I totally 'zone out' and the time flies. 😊
I really enjoyed watching this. You are such a great artist
PO62 I have is Azo orange. I think the mimic squirrel are the perfect camouflage color for hiding. They just blend into the surroundings. It happens to me all the time too. I'm at my most peaceful when I ride my bike or paint. Bike riding is pretty much over. I'll be painting a lot more.👍🤩😉 Thanks Lindsay. I'll do this fabulous mushroom tomorrow. It's gorgeous. 💙
Excellent! My new favorite.
Lil Mush looks so cute and real! To the point that lil mush ( named it)😜 is coming off the page, walking even dancing. Cute little root legs. Thanks again for sharing! P.S. If lil mush starts to talk we r in real trouble. Early morning humor.
Of course we don't mind the long tutorials! It's great if we can learn somthing in depth on yt! Thank you so much!
Love this! I am fascinated with all the different mushrooms that grow near me. Love picking them, photographing. Some I eat. Not this type as it appears to be from the amanita family.
Amanita mushroom! Amateur mycologist lol love mushroom photography. Great painting!
Thanks, I think I'll do more mushroom paintings.
@@thefrugalcrafter that's an amazing idea. I love botanical style line and wash art. Yours are so beautiful!
Don't worry about the eraser dust, Lindsay. I blew it off the page for you 🤪. Our brains are so funny. I literally blew it off. Wow. Awesome video as always. Obviously I was REALLY into drawing the mushroom.
LOL Aww Jennifer That's way to funny, cuz I was helping you blow it off the same time as you was : D : D : D LOL great minds think a like right!!!!!!! ; ) ; )
I enjoy mixed media too!! Thanks for taking the time with this, my first love is watercolor.
Hey Lindsay, I’m really happy you decided to paint this mushroom. I found a great photo of one years ago in a magazine and have been wanting to paint it since then. Now I have guidance. I’ll try this first then the one from the magazine Also, thank you for recommending the mimick brushes. I ordered them and they have become my favorites. Even over a way more expensive brush I had to try so again...thank you for the great advice.
Very well done.
I love it!! I’m confident I could do this too. Thank you Lindsey
I actually did this one with you and it was SO MUCH fun. Thank you.
Love this one!
I love your video. Thank You. Very inspiring.
Just lovely! So nice to have a long relaxing video today, thank you!
I love,great job!
Holding an umbrella for the dog to do their business... Signs of a real pet mom 😂❤️
Really wonderful and beautiful! Thank you.
Hi Lindsay (:
This is a such beautiful tutorial and I enjoyed it so much !
To my opinion - the longer the tutorial is , the better !
I love learning from you step by step slowly and I had so much fun ! it was so relaxing and the colors are so beautiful !
I can't wait for the next lesson !!!
Regards to your sweet pets (:
this is so pretty! Lindsay I miss your live shows with Sarah, I must have seen them all like 4 times each. They are so relaxing and fun, love the energy between you two! please say hello to her, hope she is well. like her attitude, thanks.
Thank you, Lindsay, for a great tutorial!
Thanks Lindsay, I'm trying to learn tonal values and this is a great example.
Oh I wish I can tell to you lol I know the feeling of looking for something and I won't give up until I find it!! Ahh it's right next to you 😂
This looks amazing x
Wonderful Job! Thank you
You did a great job on both mushroom compositions in your sketchbooks - they're beautiful. I love mushrooms, and I have been dying to watercolor them, but they do not grow much near me; it's hard to find. I saw a book on mushrooms at Barnes & Noble that I want to buy just to practice painting them. Do you have any suggestions? I do not mind your longer videos. I quite like them. Actually, if you make them longer, hurray for me. Thanks, Lindsay, great painting and videos, as always. 😊
Great painting. I have to make myself remember to use very light washes. It matters. And light layers. It matters. These things make a difference in real looking or cartoon whimsy painting. I guess it's what you are looking for. 💖
Your amazingly talented!!!
I really enjoyed this video, beautiful mushroom, thanks 😊
Wow you have really come a long way! Such a beatiful mushroom.
Another lovely project, Lindsay, you're so talented! I've recently bought some Prismacolors so I can follow along with your videos. Watercolor and colored pencils make a great combo. I'm learning alot in your Drawing class and will start the Landscape class after that. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my days! Thank you .....bring mediums together! I did start to do this ! but you can get so involved in watching types that focus on one medium!
YELS YELS ? So you like mixed or 1 at a time?
Fantastic job taking us with you on this painting journey--thank you! I got a new puppy three weeks ago today (the second puppy of my adult life). My question is: how do you get ANYTHING done?!? :-) It was good to hear Penny and to get a hint of how you do your art and meet the puppy's every whim. Happy times!
Thank you for sharing Lindsay, I really enjoyed this tutorial. I have finally started experimenting with using mixed media and am loving it. It has surely made my paintings come more to live..
Very nice work! Sounds like I'd like to be a puppy at your house.
Your mushroom sure does look real! I have to say I got a kick out fo the brushes hiding in the pallet! That sort of thing happens to me at times and can not believe how much time I have wasted looking for something when it’s right under my nose😂
Awesome and thanks for talking about splash.com. I used to go there but couldn't remember the name , so thank you .
I love your tutorials! How do you prevent bleed outside the lines?
I love botanical! is this the next journey? I am terrible for starting a project and not going back to it! My new year goal is to invest in a good quality paper and experiment...no more buying mediums but to focus on the paper! So all the sub standard paper I have is going to be used to practise all the techniques I have gained..I am going to give myself licence to use it all up and experiment!.
YELS YELS are you going to arches? I get the 10x14” paper I can cut it into 4 5x7’s which are perfect for small things like this. I just saw ?Rainy (can’t remember) and she only uses Stonehenge by Legion so I got it, on amazon, not impressed so far. There is a website called alli. It’s in China and has great deals on supplies and unlike wish the shipping is very inexpensive.
Oh yeah!! Do you think you can do a review of the new Faber Castell watercolor markers?
Thanks, love it.
Hmmm. I have the Fantasia watercolor pencils and they lay down good color. I was thinking of trying their colored pencils next time they go on good sale. I put my daughters prismacolor ones in my art room to live. Simply for her convenience of course.😉
Love the video. IThis is one I want to follow al9ng and create. Ty
How exciting! Dare I share that I painted a red cap mushroom for my journal spread last week (feel free to check it out for a chuckle...)... it's a little trio, a cluster of cuties...I think they turned out ok. I will try your approach here...and include in another page spread soon. Love the 3 D of your beautiful creation. Joie xxx
I love your work! I'm an acrylic person, just beginning to do watercolor. I have a QUESTION. I do have a lot of watercolor in tubes and I love the tube paint. However, I saw a set 34 paints in pans recently and I couldn't resist buying them. How do you get a good amount of paint from a dry pan of paint to mix with other colors from the pallet? I haven't ever used paint in pans since grade school.
If only you were my neighbor. I have a 65 lb, 6 mo puppy who would love a play date.
Love this so much!
Love it! and thank you! appreciated!
Hi Lindsay! Count me in as As one of your #1 Fans...been so busy this year working on crafting my latest craft obsession which actually came about by looking for making my own art journal blank books...but then turned into making junk journals to sell.
I DTILL have yet to make my personzl journal to ' ART ' in lol.
So..getting back to enjoying your art from the Great State O' Maine...I found this latest and Lovely ' Shroom you did! W@W!!
also,,MAYBE your missing brush were mixed in with tye paint box?? I noticed three...lol...jus' sayin! Love You!!
Mindi😘 Ayuh!
Beautiful botanical mushrooms, both of them. Hello Penny, I woof you.
THANK YOU
This is awesome. Question: Do you like uni-ball signo white gel pens or do you prefer the kind you are using?
Paused to say I think the small mimik squirrel is in your Winsor palette lol
Oh gosh you found them 😊😊😊
I never even notice how long the videos are! Learn too much and have fun. Hey, if you are looking for a really different watercolor to review I just ran across Texas Wild Color, handmade wc from local materials. Looked interesting! Have a great weekend.
Lindsay, do you think that the mimik squirrel brushes are snappier than the mimik kolinsky? My mimik kolinsky brushes are super duper soft but that may be because I boiled them to try to get the hooks out of the tip. It worked, btw, about 60%, making the brushes usable but now they are soooooo soft! I don’t remember how they were before because I hadn’t used them in ages because of the above mentioned hooks.
Christina Todd does that work on all brushes?
Diane Andrews SYNTHETIC brushes only. I'm not sure as I've only used one brand. To reshape my 5 Creative Mark Mimik Kolinsky brushes took around an hour!! I did one at a time, hot water for 5-10 seconds, pinch (hard) and (gently)pull the bristles while still hot, cold water, reshape, repeat.
Christina Todd ty
Diane Andrews you're welcome
love this! I don't mind longer videos, i just save them to watch later when I have some more time (like weekends) :o)
that mushroom is amazing ! I have a little tiny sketchbook like that but i have been using it as a swatch type book for my wet media By the way what brown did you mix with the ultramarine. Its a beautiful french gray
Probably burnt seinna
I Love this Mushroom that you have done Lindsay, I think I'm better at painting Veggies than animals and water. That's why when I seen Dani's Beautiful Photograph of the Tree on like a little island in the middle of water, on a very cloudy over cast day. I thought AWWWW This is beautiful I wonder if Lindsay would love to do this on one of your tutorials. Was it the Mushroom that you was talking about what their made from LOL, because I love Mushrooms. Not this one because of course it's poison. I didn't know how they grew until my mother told me a story about living in Washington and going out to the cow field and getting mushrooms for dinner lol! It's so funny I was reading Jennifer's comment so sorry Jenn I forgot your last name :' ( but I guess we was both blowing off the eraser particles off your drawing LOL. I told her great minds think a like LOL. But anyways getting back to your drawing I really do love it and also, I know that I've said this over and over again, your voice is so very relaxing and I do listen and watch your tutorials all day long, because I'm remembering how to paint again and your so good at everything you pain! and I've lowered the amount of Xanax that I have to take! You are just so soothing, So Lindsay I would Love to say a "BIG" THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO! Sending Love, Prayers and Blessing your way, Your Fan and Friend, Vicki
another great video thank you Lindsay. Was wondering if you have tried the Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor Markers? I waited til they were in my price range, Blick's had a great sale on them. Just having a chance to try them out. They are really great, good and juicy and having 2 tips is great also. Steve Mitchell was using them, so I thought gee maybe I should try. As for the Windsor Newton, I really like these water colors a lot. BTW 10/26 it is snowing here in Big Sky Country, Montana. It is beautiful, but it is just too early.
This is FANTASTICAL! Thank you. And what type of pup? I’m a CVT (animal nurse)
Really enjoyed watching this it looks amazing hugs sara
Love it! Would you consider a gnome lol.
Your brush is in your pallet.... lol you found them right after I posted it. I lose my brushes all the time and find them right in front of my face later
Im lucky. I can find the winsor pans and tubes just the same. And I prefer the 101 sienna of winsor and sennelier over daniel smith for botanicals. Call me silly. And l lately rediscoverd my love for schincke's transparent sienna wich is a really rich gorgious color that just glows of your paper. One thing they have in common, all three are a 101 pigment and not a 7. The 7 much darker and fun for shadows
I love Derwent! but finding they are too broad when you want a thin line (with regards to their pencil range)? This proves I am finding my style thanks to your tuition!
Maybe an amanita muscaria?
I thought royal and langnickel had a scrubber in their flat softgrip valuepack dont hold me to that though. I dont have a scrubber mainly I just let it dry rewet soak it up with dry brush and blot specially with thinner journal paper. Thanks for doing this, I have a really big soft spot for mushrooms in wc lol (any studentgrade flat or angular will do for scrubbing cause they tend to be a bit more rigid. Since I have several davinci junior flats and an angular i think its a waste of my money to buy me a scrubber :D Remember the name is a scrubber, that does not mean use it as an eraser, bc thinner journals often dont like this and can leave to spots not wanting to grab the paint) How much fun is this for thanksgiving tags? or tags in general? I was one of thise on instagram going please show how to make a fairly simple botanical as they are really popular and mushrooms even a kid can make; wont that be fun make a tag set with your kids for the holiday season. Mine is now 14 and still likes to do that with mum. ( Well either that or just my supplies :P )
Love it! It looks very much like a poisonous variety we have here in Germany.
Hi Lindsay, I heard you call your pup "Pen", my french bulldog puppy is named Penelope too :) She is 8 months, Do you have a picture of her you can share?? :)
I enjoy the long video, and it's a good video, but there are way too many ads.
Oh my days we are so intense on watching you create! Didn't see the brushes!! Losing art/craft things is when you have too much going on in your creating world!
Seems like your watercolor videos get most views, well actually, when you upload a video speaking directly to the camera, you waaaaay more views. Live shows coming any time soon?
I tried to tell you they were tucked in there lol.
Really like the subject of this piece! It's beautiful! Too many commercials though.
Elizabeth Macchi we get a free tutorial Lyndsey gets to get paid
Elizabeth Macchi I don't think the UA-camr has control over the frequency of the commercials either-it's controlled by UA-cam.
Lindsey be careful because bully sticks aren’t cooked they can carry diseases so always wash your hands after giving one to penny or, switch to pigs ears lol
