I appreciate your commitment to giving us free weekly videos. Thank you for your time and knowledge!
Thank you for that recognition!
Tha.k you for taking so much time with your tutorials
I am just learning to paint, so it takes me more time to get the flow going. Love this the best yet on iris

Thanks Char. really helpful :)
Thank You! Much appreciated! 👍😊
Thank you!
Thank you so much
This is the best tutorial that I've seen on the iris. Thanks for explaining it so well
Wow, thank you, Mary! That makes me so happy to hear!
I love your style...you make it so easy to follow along... it just all makes sense... thank you !
Thank you so much, Ellen! We're so glad you are enjoying the videos!!
Sara, best watercolor lessons ever! I actually understand you! Thanks for sharing every week. I practice 5 or 6 of every lesson and I’m getting better at this and building up my confidence..thanks so much!💕💕💕
So glad I found you! Love EVERYTHING about YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL! THANK YOU!
I made two iris watercolor cards for BD and I'm happy with how they came out. Your tutorial was awesome.🤩 Thank You
You are awesome, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I love the way you explain. It makes it so lively, thank you
You are so welcome!
Possibly my favorite tutorial to date. I really like the outline of the petals and the idea of making back and front of a petal different colors to keep track of which is which.
This is a "Ruffled Iris".
I'm trying to learn, and your iris is the best I've seen.
It is beautiful.
I just love your excitement when the purple mixes with the green inside the bud! That is exactly how I feel when my colors start to blend and I just love what I'm seeing...
I love that you over these videos. You make me want to pick up my brushes and you are painting my favorite flower. Thank you Sarah.
Carol, do it!!! :) Thank you so much for your comment!
Most beautiful and inspiring.... am a beginner.... thank you. Blessings
It is getting close to Iris time at my house so I was so pleased to paint this one today! Great project. I find that I enjoy the outline flowers more than the loose ones.
How fun that you got to paint this project in anticipation for iris time at your house! We cannot tell you enough how much we appreciate that you paint along with us.
@@LetsMakeArt And I can't tell you enough how much these tutorials mean to me! Your company has helped me more than I can express!
Good Morning. My daughter who lives in Sacramento California is a student and paints with her watercolor kits. And she is teaching me by whattsapp. Congratulations for this artistic work and already have a follower from Colombia dear land. Good day
Love all your videos! Thanks so much for doing this, you’re helping a lot of people find their courage!
So excited to have discovered your videos! Love your personality!
I just love your projects, and breaking it down into steps! Thank you!
I loved painting this! So fun! I painted this for my Grandma for her birthday!
Lovely relaxed and instructive video. Thank you.
Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial, I will definitely try this.xx
The little yellow ruffles are the “beards” of the Bearded Iris, I grow many!
Wonderful tutorial! Love your style, so easy, breezy but HOLD ON TO YOUR UNDERWEAR, this part will be quick! I just love water-color and how it moves. Beautiful Iris painting! You are a very talented young lady. Thanks for teaching us to let go and let it just be. 😉
Gorgeous iris! I am loving your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thank you, Cynthia! I hope you get to try it out for yourself! :)
I absolutely loved this tutorial. I've done it twice! Thank you so much for breaking it down into simple steps that even I can do.
Totally enjoyed this. video. Got a lesson in drawing & painting. Great idea for kit. I would have loved that 3 years ago. Easy to follow urned out great!!
Gorgeous iris! And Keenan is too funny 😂
My kids loved the Pokemon reference! Bulbasaur haha
Haha that's great! We try to keep it fresh for the young crowd! ;)
Gorgeous! And you made it look so easy!
Thank you! 😊Have you tried painting along yet? We would love to see yours if you do.
@@LetsMakeArt No, I just found you! Painting is set aside while the sewing machine is on the table LOL Can’t wait though!!
Awwww, I absolutely love this! Can’t wait to paint it.
So pretty!!! Can't wait to get my box this month!! 💗
I agree with others that it would be better if you can bring the camera in closer so we can see more detail when painting.
Hi I think ruffled petals was the word you were searching for. So enjoy your demos
Gorgeous!
Wonderful videos and website...I just discovered you!!! and am working hard at watercolors...well, working at it and loving it....learning..learning..learning...thank you!!
Welcome!
@@LetsMakeArt I'm so happy I found you...I've lost some of my vision but work with my iPad and you...and have painted more in the last week than in the last two years. I'm so excited....fabulous medicine~! I see so many projects I want to try...your tutorials are great~!
So beautiful!
This video is wow......i really love the flower......😊😊😊💗
Thank you so much for watching!
@@LetsMakeArt wlcm.....and I'm also a art student i love painting,drawing etc.......😊😊
Adorei o formato do vídeo e a forma de ensinar! Super divertido sem estress. Obrigada!!!!
❤
I'm working on this one right now after watching the turtorial a couple of weeks ago. Note to self- rewatch the video before you try to paint it!😂 I forgot to use the magenta instead of purple, lost track of where the petals were, wet each petal first, ... it would have been easier if I had followed your instructions. I just got so excited, I wanted to get to it. I'll do better next time, I promise.
I am going to have to practice more and try again. My attempt looks so bad. But what I learned, I think I don't have enough paint on my brush at times, I need to pre mix my colors....got confused about what petal is what color along the way. And need general practice. And practice at mixing colors....especially since I am using some of the colors LMA has and some that are not. But it is a great tutorial....I am just sucking at learning today and need to break this down even more.
Hi Nikki! We had to start off by letting you know that you do not suck at all. Painting, like anything, takes practice to build up your skill. Walk away from your painting and when you come back to it, you'll be able to appreciate it in a different light. Some lessons definitely take you outside your comfort lesson and what is easy for one person can be a struggle for another artist. We just want you to know that we so appreciate you creating along with us. We appreciate you sticking through this tutorial with us and finishing your painting. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your creative journey. We are here cheering you on and totally want to hear how your next paint session goes.❤️
Ruffles - that's the word you are looking for :)
Awesome!!
What an awesome tutorial!! Thank you, Sarah!
Going to find an apron for Sarah that says, "Does that make sense?" 😄
Do you take requests? My girlfriend and I absolutely loved your whale tutorial! Can you please please do a watercolour narwhal and a shark tutorial 🥰🙏🏽
Deane Carlson great ideas! Maybe she’ll do an octopus too! 😊
I tried this and loved how it turned out! I'd love to get the painting on my computer to maybe print more copies of the painting, do you just use a scanner for that?
beautiful!
I enjoyed this, thank you!
I just found this tutorial and would love to have the line drawing but couldn't find it. Thanks, Georgena
Hi! You'll want to click the link and then scroll down to the "I" section where you'll be able to find Iris outline. Happy creating!! www.letsmakeart.com/pages/lets-make-art-outline-library?Social&
Can i do that with other mediums? thanks 😊👍
New subscriber here 😘
It’s 7:20 pm on Tuesday and I can’t find the live paint a long.
Looks like you're using Canson XL 140lb 9X12", correct? I'm going to use that too but I also then reduced it by 67% to try on 6X9" Bee cotton WC paper. Thank you for sharing the line drawing on your website.
🥰🥰🥰
Well done
What a beautiful flower! I love your demonstrations and how you explain everything. You mentioned earlier that the template could be downloaded. Where can that be found? Thank you so much.
On letsmakeart.com When you find the kit for sale you can scroll down to find this tutorial as well as the free download of the outline.
The word is frilly!
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial. I only have an Inkjet printer. I’m thinking that won’t work with the water? 😕
Hold on to your horses!! : )
I love the iris but am "drawing challenged." I'm attempting to use the sketch provided and to draw it on the watercolor paper so I have a guide. Wish me luck!
Flip the picture over. Using a soft lead pencil, apply a layer of graphite using a moderately heavy hand around the edges of the drawing. Flip the picture over. Place the picture on top of your watercolor paper. Using your pencil, go around the edges of the iris. Lift up the iris, and admire your "drawing.". You're welcome.
What was the weight of your paper and was it cold or hot pressed?
It’s cold pressed and it is 140 lbs
Is there somewhere I can find the sketch that goes with this tutorial?
Love these! How do I access the free outline? I became a subscriber it don’t see anywhere
You can access the Outline Library by clicking the link below. You'll want to scroll down to the "I" section where you will find the Iris outline. Happy creating! www.letsmakeart.com/pages/lets-make-art-outline-library?Social&
Great tutorial thank you. I have just visited your site in the hopes of downloading the free outline (template) as suggested but could not find it. Seems it is only part of the complete kit.
Hi Jennifer! Sorry for the confusion, here's the link to the outline for you! cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2398/2457/files/Iris_outline_41ecd42c-318d-42d6-8157-5388dda3e280.pdf?1160
If you used good 100% cotton rag paper, it would bleed out better. Canson paper doesn't do the trick as well.
That’s because the texture of the cotton paper make it seeps into it making it bleed out better.
The petals appear to be ruffled-wavy..
ok,,, Im stupid and need the very very beginning... how do you get the outline without getting all the black rubbed onto the white paper
You are not stupid at all! Watch our Beginner Series #4 Tips and Tricks video around the 0:50 mark Sarah will explain that to them.
Correct,you are not stupid at all!
i love this but i dont have the outline

Awesome paint! I would like to know whats the material of the pallet where you mix the colours please :)
Enamel butcher pallatte . Inexpensive on their website! 😊
@Barkano Here's the link to the one we use: www.letsmakeart.com/products/butcher-tray-paint-palette
@@jlynnsonnier5124 thanks!
What are you mixing your colors on Thank you
Butcher palette available on www.letsmakeart.com
Love this-ready to give it a go. Just one thing, though...I hope you’ll drop the “names” for the brushes. Just call it Round 2 and Round 6 for clarity. Besides, everyone knows guys with those names, and it’s not a great thing to call that person to mind as a brush!
The yellow center are beards lol.tfs
Please leave your reference drawing on view. Thanks.
Just wondering for a friend.... is it ok to still drink your tea after you dip your brush into it?? Oops!
Uh, NO! ☠😨😝🤢😱 I wouldn't even if you were using children's non-toxic paints. Pretty sure they put nasty taste in them to teach children Not to eat the paints! 😒
Noelle Armstrong
I hope you’re just joking and being silly.
Lots of watercolor paints are made of toxic heavy metals and nasty harmful chemicals. It’s not a good idea to have food or beverages anywhere near your rinse water, paints or brushes. It’s best to save any eating or drinking for when you take a break and step away from your painting.
It’s good practice to take a break and stretch your body and change your position every so often anyway. That’s a good time to get a drink or a little nibble. Think of all those times we’re supposed to patiently wait for an area to dry.
Keeping food and drinks separate from your work area also reduces the chance of accidentally getting food or drinks on your painting or contaminating your precious paints.
I agree with @Long yarn, I wouldn’t even risk it with non-toxic paint. It’s about building good habits. And we really don’t know what is in those children’s paints anyway. Or bacteria deep in your brush hairs...
Happy painting!
I would never drink paint AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You could end up into the hospital if you do Noelle
Ruffles never ever wrinkles 😊
frilly!
Yesss!!! :)
Hold on to your “britches” 😂
I am having a hard time not blending all of the paint from the edge and my wash is to dark. I didn’t have this problem with the turtle, the fragility of the flower makes this more apparent. I am practicing but any hints would help. Thanks
Arlene Shermam. Dark wash. 1. Add water to your wash Paint on your mix plate. 2. Test it on scrap paper to see how dark. 3. Make a thinner line of paint on the edge of the flower (make sure your paper is pre-wet using a. thin line of water first). Then clean brush using wet but not dripping wet brush & smooth it out in towards the center of the flower. If your wash (paint) is to strong.......Immediately blot it with paper towel, you may want to allow paper dry & start again.
Practice. Practice. Practice........its usually about the water & being quick enough.
Hope this is helpful
Wow!!! Beautiful work. Subscribe you ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Hold on to your horses
Everything Keenan says makes me laugh
I cant make it bled
You may not have enough water on the area.
I really love this tutorial, but some constructive criticism. The silliness between the artist and the cameraman (?) is very distracting.
Thanks for your feedback. We hope you continue to tune into our channel and enjoy our newly released video tutorials.
