Hi there Jenna, that was so kind and very thoughtful of you to give my channel that lovely shout-out. My figures have struggled and the channel has struggled to gain momentum, with your kind words and help from Paul Clark, I hope it will now push forward. Thank you again Jenna so kind, I'll definitely thank you officially in my new Friday's Video. Best wishes to you and Mr. Rainey for 2022. Paul
Aw I hope this helps give a little momentum, Paul! I’m glad you saw this and got some encouragement. Keep up the great work! Best wishes to you as well!
Whoa! I'm floored, Jenna. Totally not expecting this kind gesture. Thank you for the shoutout. You were totally one of inspos when I first started out. So it's an honour. 🥰💕
@Clarice Gomes - I’ve been watching you since this video and you are a great teacher. Thanks to all who put the time and effort into filming in order to help others learn something wonderful like watercolor!!
A lovely British artist, I really like is Harriet De Winton of the De Winton Paper Co , I am British so might be a tad biased, and Helen Campbell does fabulous detailed florals .
Okay, so holy moly! Someone just let me know you did this and I’m over the moon grateful! Jenna, we know of each other from invitation design days. I own Momental Designs. Anywho so so appreciate the super generous shout out!! 😘😘😘
CreationsCeeCee hasn't posted for a while, which is a worry, but her back catalogue is well worth watching. As for Sarah Burns Studio, I could watch her for hours.
@@nikkia9506 she put up a video in the beginning of December I think, that she will be putting up videos less frequently, I can not remember the time frame, just that she’s still here just less frequent videos.
Great list ☺️❤️ I’d love to add Steve Mitchell - The Mind of Watercolor - has awesome loose landscapes & tips / techniques. He is a bigger channel but he has many amazing tutorials & has been around for a few years 🙂
Thanks for these ideas. I'm always looking for new channels to watch and there were several here I didn't know about. These may not all be that small but if you're looking for even more ideas, also check out Matthew White, Emily Olson, Tom Shepherd, Lois Davidson and Jean Lurssen. So many good channels out there.
I love your channel too, Steve! You (and Jenna) have taught me (a brand new newbie!) how to get started. I have jumped right in with 20 Daniel Smith tubes and am planning my list of Winsor & Newton tubes to get about 5 at a time. PS. Tell Reese we said 'hello'... LOL
I definitely forgot to add you to my videos, my apologies!! Your channel is such a good one and if anyone is reading this, check out The Mind of Watercolor right now!!
@@JennaRaineyChannel Oh, no worries at all and no apology needed. Seriously! I appreciate how you’re featuring these small channels. I’m always looking for good art content. UA-cam’s recommendations just don’t get it done sometimes. I saw your video only because YT recommended it. But a lot of other good stuff gets missed. It’s getting harder for newer channels to get noticed so, well done.
Well I truly appreciate your love for the art and for your awesome channel! Thank you for all that you do!! And ya, that tricky algorithm just doesn’t always get it done, I totally agree!
@@JennaRaineyChannel thanks, I appreciate you saying so. It’s been great to chat a bit. From what I’ve seen of your channel so far, you demonstrate undeniable skills but more than that, a confident professionalism that shines through in your presentation. Good stuff.
Wow, I am old in age but new to UA-cam, I am so impressed with you sharing this list and the list a day or so ago. I have found some of these channels already. I am returning to watercolor after years away. Before I had classes at a rec center in Colorado and then Chinese watercolor classes at the evening program here in Washington state. I am not a good painter, I love the act of painting. I am getting stronger after being bed ridden this summer fighting cancer. I am presently mostly house bound so turning to channels to watch because I decided I want to paint again. Your kindness and generosity to others has really impressed me. I am becoming a fan of you. I have watched a few of your videos and liked your approach and voice. Now I am impressed by you as a person. Bravo you!
I am "old in age", too, and I recently returned to watercolor- I never had the patience before now! I strongly recommend Ellen Crimi-Trent and Steve Mitchell- "The Mind of Watercolor" specifically to you. They are experienced working artists who are wonderful about inspiring and encouraging you to get up and do it!! They both have a calm and relaxing voice and a great sense of humor. They show their mistakes and they are always working hard to produce quality instruction. They also have hundreds of past videos and playlists that you can watch to learn even more!! We are stuck at home- they have both been great for my boredom and my mood!! Best of luck!
I love “Ellen Crimi-Trent - Artist.” Her channel is great for beginners like myself as she goes through things step-by-step. I did one of her Christmas paintings and was pleased. Thanks, Jenna, for all you do. Your art is amazing and I love your instructions. Have a blessed, safe and happy New Year!
I have been an acrylic and multi-media artist for many years and taken MANY classes over the years (including local in-person watercolor classes). I could never get into watercolor before- I never had the patience. Ellen Crimi-Trent is one of THE BEST teachers on youTube for beginners for watercolors, gouache, ink and wash, and the many techniques she employs using a variety of subject matters. She INSPIRES (a real talent), and works really hard for her viewers to provide fun, creative, easy to follow projects that are not intimidating. Her personality is easy-going and relaxed- she makes me laugh and smile when I'm watching- Something we ALL need in these crazy times. I've learned SO much and I've only been watching for 3 months!!! I support her on Patreon, and she works hard for her patrons, too. Her channel is growing by leaps and bounds. I encourage beginners and procrastinators (like me) to check her channel out!!! And, I agree with Jenna, Louise DeMasi is fantastic for those who are REALLY serious about learning to watercolor, or learning to perfect your skills. (I support her on Patreon, too and she works equally hard for her 2500+ patrons!) Jenna is right! There are numerous, wonderful teachers on youTube- you just need to check one out for a bit and you will find what you're looking for. We are so lucky to have so many talented and experienced artists that are willing to share their knowledge. It's wonderful that we can get this level of training online- FREE, every day!! Thanks for the good advice, Jenna! 👍
WOW Jenna thank you so much for the shout out! Your description made me tear up a bit. I've been uploading non stop for 2 years and it feels like things are finally starting to come together :')
Anna Bucciarelli, master of color, incredible paintings and excellent teacher; also Steve Mitchell, Mind of Watercolor, amazing work and excellent teacher
Smaller channels that does watercolor and I recommend are: -How To Paint Watercolors Live With The Art Sherpa (she use to do most of her live watercolor paintings on facebook till not too long ago, and now she does the lives on both facebook and UA-cam, so there is much more than what's on her UA-cam currently .... very good for beginners and shows the complete process of the paintings and she also has an acrylic painting channel that is live as well). -The Frugal Crafter she does a ton of reviews of alot of products and compares them with other brands as well as does watercolor and other media tutorials. She is very knowledgeable and helpful if you ever have questions on most media.
Thank you for highlighting channels for us! I love many of the channels in this video and your previous one. There are 6 more that I’d like to suggest: 1) Sarah Cray with Let’s Make Art 2) Shayda Campbell 3) Diane Antone 4) Chris Petri 5) creationsceecee 6) Colin Steed
Just a few of my other favorites. Diane Antone, Nianiani, byTheArtBug, JP WaterColour, Harriet of de Winton Paper Co. & PearFleur, they are all joys to watch & learn. Jenna, thank you for this wonderful video and suggestions. 🤗🤗
This is so nice of you Jenna! Love your channel! I have learned so much from you. Also, my recommendations are: Ellen Crimi - Trent and Emma Jane Lefebvre! They both have great, easy to follow tutorials. Especially for beginners. 😊🎨
Jenna! You are an incredible artist and art mentor! Your generosity in spreading the love and sharing other UA-cam channels is SO thoughtful and so far reaching. You are an inspiration as an artist and a person. Our world needs more of people like you❤️
One of my absolute favourites. In the studio with Michelle Webber! Awesome tutorials, particularly good with colour theory and teaching sketching and drawing skills!
I have always had a deep appreciation for watercolours, but when I discovered Arleebean my love for the medium sky rocketed. She does portrait paintings with rainbow skin and definitely has her style.
Thanks Jenna for all you are and all you've given us this past year, above and beyond painting. I just discovered Diane Antone. She does loose and whimsical birds! Her watercolors of flowers, farm animals look distinctly different than other UA-camrs'. She has a quiet teaching style, an easy going manner. Her background music adds to the relaxing tutorials. I appreciate her irreverent self deprecating humor. Thanks for asking.
I agree, Diane Antone is quite amazing! Such a unique style and it's definitely good therapy to watch her sketch and paint and her voice takes you to a place of zen. Love her!
Thank you Jenna for so generously sharing this information. Karen Rice is amazing. I've been foloowing her work for sometime. And so is Paul App. I've watched a few of his figure painting videos. You are an amazing artist and oh so generous. Art Jack and Mind of Watercolor are two great channels to check out
Frank Halliday’s UA-cam channel deserves lots of love. He just recently turned 86 and is just lovely to listen to. I’ve learned many techniques from painting along with him. Really he’s my hero because he got me through 2020 and 2021. Thx for considering possibly mentioning him in the future. He deserves lots of more subscribers. 🥰
Jenna, thank you for opening the door for your viewers to check out other watercolor artists. It's so refreshing when you see people helping to support other people and you've done that! Many of the artists I already follow, but it will be fun to check out the ones mentioned that I don't know. My share is Diane Antone Studio. I love her style, some paintings look like vintage pieces of art. Clear instructions, creative compositions, gorgeous and achievable paintings, and her voice and story-telling is so relaxing. Her daughter, Tamsin, is the videographer and quite talented as well. Thanks Jenna.
Thankyou! I also really love Dr Oto Kano, she gives a super comprehensive review of the watercolors from various companies, and more. A great resource!!
Jenna - I don't know where my comment went! To repeat - YOU ROCK! Thanks so much for your amazing talent that never ceases to stun me. And thanks for taking the time to do this. I just found Shana Circe right before Christmas, I love her style and sweet personality. Her channel is just getting started and she deserves to be checked out. I also love Ellen Crimi Trent. Also The Mind of Watercolor - AWESOME! Amazing landscapes and not British. 🙂
Ah, hate it when those comments vanish into nothingness, haha. Thanks for taking the time to comment again and thanks for the love and suggestions, Nancy! I'll have to check out Shana Circe!
You have just blessed yourself by promoting others! Thats a wonderful thing that we should do in our lives. Anyway, I bought your book 4 years ago to try out 30 days of watercolor. Bought the basic supplies you suggested. It took me six months to get through it and I am off and running with painting. Thank you!
This is an amazing topic for a video, thanks so much for pointing people towards these smaller channels! My favorites that I am currently watching and do a great job are @Anna Bucciarelli, @Finelinernerd, @Hummingfluff (just looove her videos, all of them!), @In Liquid Color (Denis Soden's channel isn't the smallest, but did not hit 100k yet, so I guess it counts - she does incredible work explaining about watercolor pigments), @Jenny Granberry, @Katrina Pete (only a few videos but her process is amazing!), @Victoria Gedvillas 😍
Kudos to you for inviting all to the table! I am new to watercolor since 2019. Paul Clark has been very helpful but also another British painter Oliver Pyle talks composition and methods. Also Laurel Hart does a very nice job as well. You have really helped me on my journey to find my style. Thanks and happy new year!
Thanks Jenna! I might check some of these folks out - they do look amazing! - but TBH if I go much beyond you & Steve Mitchell (Mind of Watercolor), I won't have enough time left to paint LOL. I've never been good at drawing or any kind of representational art, but you & Steve approach it in a way that I'm starting to get a little better and develop a wee bit of confidence. My goal is consistent practice in 2022. 🤞🙏
Love your list Jenna! I would add some interesting small watercolor channels that I love - 'Enjoy drawing with Mary' - she paints beautiful illustrations and 'Animal art by terracotta' - lovely animal watercolor and acrylic paintings and tutorials...and Diane Antone, love her humor too 😀😄
I love your channel! I love landscapes and different techniques and Here are some channels I love: Sarah Burns, James Guerney, Mind of Watercolor, White Rabbit, the Frugal Crafter, ... you are right so many to choose from! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for this and the previous recommendation video. As someone who is relatively new to watercolors and is always looking for helpful videos, this is a real gift. I'm excited to follow these recommendations and continue my watercolor journey. Thank you!
Thank you for your channel and generosity. 2 artists I would like to recommend, are Lois Davidson and Karen Rice. They are both British and also very generous and informative with their teaching. You are so kind to mention other artists…….I also love Paul Clark!!!
My fav small watercolor-centric channels that I haven't yet seen mentioned in the comments are Her Billowing Art, Alice Lim, Alisa Laporte Art, and for wc plus other media, love Sandy Allnock and Sarah Burns Studio. Thanks to Jenna for highlighting a few great channels that I hadn't heard of and to all those who shared their favs in the comments!!
Thank you, Jenna for these videos! So many artists to check out. Some that I love that you did not mention are: Emma Jane Lefebvre, deWinton Paper Co, and Ellen Crimi-Trent.
You forgot Diane Antone Studio! Please, check out her channel and recommend her. She is great for beginners and experienced painters, she's fun to listen to while she paints. She explains everything and is easy to follow along with. And she provides free sketches to all of her tutorials. And she's just a super nice lady who loves animals (and has lots of them!). Thank you, Jenna!
Great recommendations. I like Kristy Rice's style and her joyful approach to art. I'll say again to check out The Frugal Crafter (Lindsay Weirich) she offers many watercolor tutorials and online classes and also is excellent with many other mediums.
I love Shayda Campbell and Cece Creations and the Winton Paper Co. and you also❤️ I ask God your generosity talking about others art turns to you in an enormous blessing.
Chris Petri has a great channel as well. He paints in a Charles Reid style. Landscapes, seascapes, lighthouses, etc. I've learned so much from him over the past few years.
Some more I love, smoothie 77 British beautiful work and voice, Anna bucciarelli wonderful teacher and a joy to listen to, for pigment info among other talents Dr Oto Kano, Kimberly Crick art and Denise Soden. Thank you for your recommendations most I’ve seen but a few new to me.
What a great gift you gave here! Not only that you had think about, what to give. It’s so generous. I love your tutorials a lot too. They are full of you being an artist and the additional gift of being a teacher❤️
Lachri Fine Art. She does everything..colored pencil, watercolour, acrylic, and oils. She has lots of free tutorials. She does amazing critters, flowers, etc. Paint Coach. For oil painting. He does amazing portraits and landscapes.
I’m a big Natasha Newton fan - happy to see her on your list. She shows a bit of her technique but doesn’t instruct as much as others. But I love her style, palettes and art supply unboxings. I also like CeeCee Creations(?), but she seems to have slowed down on her YT posts, unfortunately. Still, lots of great past videos. Lastly, another artist I follow is Taria’s Sketchy Adventures. More urban sketching/painting. Thanks again, Jenna! Love learning about all the creators from you and your followers!
Some of my "baby" watercolor subs... paintinghyun, she does loose florals... wearefamilyart, very small channel, mostly landscape and portrait, lots of limited palette work...lou davis, mostly structural pen and wash, some crafts and abstracts.... Nil rocha, pen and wash scribble style, student of peter sheeler (who also has a channel and is my hero, completely changed my painting style) ... hajra meeks, no longer creating at this time but huge back catalog of videos, vintage reproduction, lots of detailed instruction... Lizzie harper, true botanical and natural history illustration and just a wonderful person, she also has a very extensive blog. Not a small channel really but I love Arleebean, she does very unique portraits and she's basically therapy to watch.
WeAreFamily Art looks great! Surprised at the number of subscribers but I have subbed and hope they take off! Love your recommendations and have subbed to most. :D
2 роки тому+2
It's not a small channel but I love James Gurney Art UA-cam channel. He always talks his choices and process through, and he subjects are varied from super fantastic (like Dinotopia) to very realistic (like an abandoned truck). He also teaches interesting stuff like how to make your own easel or what to pack for an outdoor sketching/painting session.
OK guess what, my dear Jenna. I've subscribed to Clarice Gomez and Paul Apps. 🤭 Yet ofc I thank you for the other recommendations! They're all doing wonderful work! 😭😭💞
Watercolour Pour is an excellent channel. Just discovered it. Her paintings are loose and atmospheric and stunning! I think she only as 5000 subs but deserves so many more.
Some great suggestions, thank you so much! Some other small channels I enjoy are Michele Webber, Lizzie Harper, John Harrison, Ann Winchester and ashiyart.
Yes, I just discovered several of your recommended channels and have subscribed. I always give a thumbs up regardless of whether or not I liked the video because I imagine a lot of effort went into the attempt. Encouragement goes a long way.
I highly recommend Oliver Pyle - Our Landscape for amazing in-depth watercolour landscape tutorials, also Rick Surowicz Watercolors, Tim Wilmot for in-depth cityscape tutorials, Tom Shepherd Art for birds and wildlife, Anna Bucciarelli for botanicals, Emily Olson Art for animal and human portraits and fun projects. Enjoy!!
Just thought I'd drop a comment here that I signed on to do the art challenge with you for 2022. I hope you enjoyed doing all of your birds. The challenge I set for myself was to do some sort of Art on a weekly basis. I think I've been at least 96% successful keeping that goal. there were some weeks that I did several art projects and there were some that I was more passive in just absorbing art tutorials and getting ideas. I have had so much fun with watercolors and watercolor pencils especially intense. I also started creating things in polymer clay and have enjoyed the process for that even if the end result turned out to be an epic fail. I've definitely been reminded of and embraced Bob Ross's quote about no mistakes in art just happy accidents. :-) I have found in this last year that the Journey of making art has increased the joy in my life. I'm planning on doing the same challenge for this next year. Thanks for inspiring me. Blessings.
I would have loved to have seen the actual names posted on the video, as you narrated. Some were there, others weren't, based on, I'm assuming, the thumbnail to their site. I just discovered you and really enjoy your no nonsense approach to educating us on Watercolors. I look forward to going backwards to view your other videos. Thank you for taking the time to make us all just that much better in our artistic endeavors!
Frank Halliday definitely needs more subscribers, he was teaching in cruise ships for years, is in his 80s now and for bored during lockdown so started a UA-cam channel, easy landscapes with great skies, Wendy Powell Jones is great, very calm and explains well, vand just started a beginners course, Heinrich Edgecombe just started new, great simple videos, Paintinghyun, Liron Yanconsky, Draw with Shiba, Oliver Pyle, Shibasaki, Watercolour café, Yong Chen are great too but much bigger, but I didn't check how big they are
You had me at Paul Clark!! Your recommendation video was the first video I saw of yours and I am hooked! Thank you. I’d like to add In the Studio With Michelle Webber. Another Brit but excellent step by step!,, Thanks Jenna and will keep watching and learning.
Thank you for the New Year’s gift! A number of these are new to me so I will be looking around. Variety is always a good idea but I have to admit I really enjoy your tutorials and your sense of humor!
Try watercolour & co. with Elisabetta, who is an Italian watercolour artist and mostly testing different brands, etc. However, she's very interesting and thorough and only has a few hundred subs as at the moment, give her a try. Thanks very much Jenna for another great video. X
Will check these out but would like to mention Steve Mitchell at The Mind of Watercolor, Kerry Newell does watercolor and other media, and Emma Jane Lefebvre, and Kristy Partridge Art. I am having a blast checking out all these artists! Thanks for the video.
Such a good video! Can’t wait to peruse the comments and find some new channels! I’m so glad you included Irit! She is a favorite of mine for sure. I also like Jodie hand and alyonas creations :)
What a generous person you are. I also follow Harriet De Winton (De Winton Paper Co). At the moment I only subscribe to you and Harriet's through Patreon and you both have published beautiful books. I love your relaxed approach and honesty. I am looking forward to following you again this year.
Thank you for this!!!💕💕💕💕 I am new to watercolor and have been looking for new channels! I wasn’t subscribed to any of the ones you mentioned, I am now!! ☺️

You're very kind, Marilyn, thank you! ❤️
One of my absolute favourites. In the studio with Michelle Webber! Awesome tutorials, particularly good with colour theory and teaching sketching and drawing skills!
You helped Kristy go from 20,000 to 130,000 subscribers in one year. That's freaking awesome.
I have always had a deep appreciation for watercolours, but when I discovered Arleebean my love for the medium sky rocketed. She does portrait paintings with rainbow skin and definitely has her style.
Thanks Jenna for all you are and all you've given us this past year, above and beyond painting. I just discovered Diane Antone. She does loose and whimsical birds! Her watercolors of flowers, farm animals look distinctly different than other UA-camrs'. She has a quiet teaching style, an easy going manner. Her background music adds to the relaxing tutorials. I appreciate her irreverent self deprecating humor. Thanks for asking.
I agree, Diane Antone is quite amazing! Such a unique style and it's definitely good therapy to watch her sketch and paint and her voice takes you to a place of zen. Love her!
Thank you Jenna for so generously sharing this information. Karen Rice is amazing. I've been foloowing her work for sometime. And so is Paul App. I've watched a few of his figure painting videos. You are an amazing artist and oh so generous.
Art Jack and Mind of Watercolor are two great channels to check out
Frank Halliday’s UA-cam channel deserves lots of love. He just recently turned 86 and is just lovely to listen to. I’ve learned many techniques from painting along with him. Really he’s my hero because he got me through 2020 and 2021. Thx for considering possibly mentioning him in the future. He deserves lots of more subscribers. 🥰
Thanks for the suggestion. I subscribed 😄
@@LaviniaNova I hope you enjoy him as much as I do. Thx very much for supporting Frank. 🥰
Thanks very much I subscribed
@@kanikachhabria3933 thx very much - enjoy the many tutorials Frank has to offer. 🥰
Jenna, thank you for opening the door for your viewers to check out other watercolor artists. It's so refreshing when you see people helping to support other people and you've done that! Many of the artists I already follow, but it will be fun to check out the ones mentioned that I don't know. My share is Diane Antone Studio. I love her style, some paintings look like vintage pieces of art. Clear instructions, creative compositions, gorgeous and achievable paintings, and her voice and story-telling is so relaxing. Her daughter, Tamsin, is the videographer and quite talented as well. Thanks Jenna.
Thankyou! I also really love Dr Oto Kano, she gives a super comprehensive review of the watercolors from various companies, and more. A great resource!!
Thank you so much for the shout out! Such kindness, I wish all the best to you and your loved ones!
You’re so welcome, all the best to you and yours as well!! ❤️
Jenna - I don't know where my comment went! To repeat - YOU ROCK! Thanks so much for your amazing talent that never ceases to stun me. And thanks for taking the time to do this. I just found Shana Circe right before Christmas, I love her style and sweet personality. Her channel is just getting started and she deserves to be checked out. I also love Ellen Crimi Trent. Also The Mind of Watercolor - AWESOME! Amazing landscapes and not British. 🙂
Ah, hate it when those comments vanish into nothingness, haha. Thanks for taking the time to comment again and thanks for the love and suggestions, Nancy! I'll have to check out Shana Circe!
You have just blessed yourself by promoting others! Thats a wonderful thing that we should do in our lives. Anyway, I bought your book 4 years ago to try out 30 days of watercolor. Bought the basic supplies you suggested. It took me six months to get through it and I am off and running with painting. Thank you!
This is an amazing topic for a video, thanks so much for pointing people towards these smaller channels! My favorites that I am currently watching and do a great job are @Anna Bucciarelli, @Finelinernerd, @Hummingfluff (just looove her videos, all of them!), @In Liquid Color (Denis Soden's channel isn't the smallest, but did not hit 100k yet, so I guess it counts - she does incredible work explaining about watercolor pigments), @Jenny Granberry, @Katrina Pete (only a few videos but her process is amazing!), @Victoria Gedvillas 😍
Kudos to you for inviting all to the table! I am new to watercolor since 2019. Paul Clark has been very helpful but also another British painter Oliver Pyle talks composition and methods. Also Laurel Hart does a very nice job as well. You have really helped me on my journey to find my style. Thanks and happy new year!
Thanks for the heads up on Paul Clark!
Wow! Thank you so much for these! (What a generous gift to share these smaller accounts!!)
Of course! ❤️
I love Natasha and Irit. Also like CeeCee Creations. Thanks for the recommendations.
Thanks Jenna! I might check some of these folks out - they do look amazing! - but TBH if I go much beyond you & Steve Mitchell (Mind of Watercolor), I won't have enough time left to paint LOL. I've never been good at drawing or any kind of representational art, but you & Steve approach it in a way that I'm starting to get a little better and develop a wee bit of confidence. My goal is consistent practice in 2022. 🤞🙏
Love your list Jenna! I would add some interesting small watercolor channels that I love - 'Enjoy drawing with Mary' - she paints beautiful illustrations and 'Animal art by terracotta' - lovely animal watercolor and acrylic paintings and tutorials...and Diane Antone, love her humor too 😀😄
Shayda Campbell, Emma Lefebvre, Ellen Crimi-Trent and Joly Poa are great to watch!
YES Joly Poa!
Love Shayda, Emma and Ellen.
Have been following them since I started doing watercolor about 2 years ago. They are great for beginners.
I love your channel! I love landscapes and different techniques and Here are some channels I love: Sarah Burns, James Guerney, Mind of Watercolor, White Rabbit, the Frugal Crafter, ... you are right so many to choose from! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for this and the previous recommendation video. As someone who is relatively new to watercolors and is always looking for helpful videos, this is a real gift. I'm excited to follow these recommendations and continue my watercolor journey. Thank you!
Thank you for your channel and generosity. 2 artists I would like to recommend, are Lois Davidson and Karen Rice. They are both British and also very generous and informative with their teaching. You are so kind to mention other artists…….I also love Paul Clark!!!
My fav small watercolor-centric channels that I haven't yet seen mentioned in the comments are Her Billowing Art, Alice Lim, Alisa Laporte Art, and for wc plus other media, love Sandy Allnock and Sarah Burns Studio. Thanks to Jenna for highlighting a few great channels that I hadn't heard of and to all those who shared their favs in the comments!!
Thank you, Jenna for these videos! So many artists to check out. Some that I love that you did not mention are: Emma Jane Lefebvre, deWinton Paper Co, and Ellen Crimi-Trent.
Thank you so much for the sub suggestions. We live in such an amazing time to be able to learn from so many people.
You forgot Diane Antone Studio! Please, check out her channel and recommend her. She is great for beginners and experienced painters, she's fun to listen to while she paints. She explains everything and is easy to follow along with. And she provides free sketches to all of her tutorials. And she's just a super nice lady who loves animals (and has lots of them!). Thank you, Jenna!
Louise De Masi her watercolors paintings are so beautiful they make me cry.
Seriously!! I gave her a shout out in my last video: ua-cam.com/video/V3grCfIOK9k/v-deo.html
@@JennaRaineyChannel That was nice of you.
Great recommendations. I like Kristy Rice's style and her joyful approach to art. I'll say again to check out The Frugal Crafter (Lindsay Weirich) she offers many watercolor tutorials and online classes and also is excellent with many other mediums.
I love Shayda Campbell and Cece Creations and the Winton Paper Co. and you also❤️
I ask God your generosity talking about others art turns to you in an enormous blessing.
Chris Petri has a great channel as well. He paints in a Charles Reid style. Landscapes, seascapes, lighthouses, etc. I've learned so much from him over the past few years.
Some more I love, smoothie 77 British beautiful work and voice, Anna bucciarelli wonderful teacher and a joy to listen to, for pigment info among other talents Dr Oto Kano, Kimberly Crick art and Denise Soden. Thank you for your recommendations most I’ve seen but a few new to me.
Thank you for sharing. Great information. Also the Mind of Watercolor is great!
You are one of my favourite you-tubers artist, and your style and generosity is just awesome! Oh, and I did buy your books and learned so much!
Thank you Jenna for recognizing talents of others. Very nice to see in the me me world. Love your book!!
Ditto!!
What a great gift you gave here! Not only that you had think about, what to give. It’s so generous. I love your tutorials a lot too. They are full of you being an artist and the additional gift of being a teacher❤️
Wohooo! Small watercolor UA-camr here as well. (Painting mostly birds.) 🥳 How nice of you to help highlight smaller channels. 🙏🏻😊
Go check Louise out, people!
Thank you! 😂
Lachri Fine Art. She does everything..colored pencil, watercolour, acrylic, and oils. She has lots of free tutorials. She does amazing critters, flowers, etc.
Paint Coach. For oil painting. He does amazing portraits and landscapes.
She's super talented! Does great work.
Diane Antone is one of my favs...glad to see her get a mention! I’ll be sure to check out the others. Thanks for providing this list.
I’m a big Natasha Newton fan - happy to see her on your list. She shows a bit of her technique but doesn’t instruct as much as others. But I love her style, palettes and art supply unboxings. I also like CeeCee Creations(?), but she seems to have slowed down on her YT posts, unfortunately. Still, lots of great past videos. Lastly, another artist I follow is Taria’s Sketchy Adventures. More urban sketching/painting. Thanks again, Jenna! Love learning about all the creators from you and your followers!
Some of my "baby" watercolor subs... paintinghyun, she does loose florals... wearefamilyart, very small channel, mostly landscape and portrait, lots of limited palette work...lou davis, mostly structural pen and wash, some crafts and abstracts.... Nil rocha, pen and wash scribble style, student of peter sheeler (who also has a channel and is my hero, completely changed my painting style) ... hajra meeks, no longer creating at this time but huge back catalog of videos, vintage reproduction, lots of detailed instruction... Lizzie harper, true botanical and natural history illustration and just a wonderful person, she also has a very extensive blog. Not a small channel really but I love Arleebean, she does very unique portraits and she's basically therapy to watch.
WeAreFamily Art looks great! Surprised at the number of subscribers but I have subbed and hope they take off! Love your recommendations and have subbed to most. :D
It's not a small channel but I love James Gurney Art UA-cam channel. He always talks his choices and process through, and he subjects are varied from super fantastic (like Dinotopia) to very realistic (like an abandoned truck). He also teaches interesting stuff like how to make your own easel or what to pack for an outdoor sketching/painting session.
I add Shayda Campbell, Emma Lefebvre, Clarice Gomes and Harriet de Winton 🥰
Love how this community supports each other!
Me too! ❤️❤️
OK guess what, my dear Jenna. I've subscribed to Clarice Gomez and Paul Apps. 🤭 Yet ofc I thank you for the other recommendations! They're all doing wonderful work! 😭😭💞
Nice!! You're on it! 😉
I am so glad you did this! There are several here I have not found despite incessant searches!
Oh great, hope you love them!
Thank you for sharing even more! I really enjoy Sarah Burns in Scotland. She does plein air landscapes and a little bit of everything
Watercolour Pour is an excellent channel. Just discovered it. Her paintings are loose and atmospheric and stunning! I think she only as 5000 subs but deserves so many more.
Some great suggestions, thank you so much! Some other small channels I enjoy are Michele Webber, Lizzie Harper,
John Harrison, Ann Winchester and ashiyart.
I can definitely back you up on Michelle Webber. I'll take a look at everyone else you've recommended.
Yes, I just discovered several of your recommended channels and have subscribed. I always give a thumbs up regardless of whether or not I liked the video because I imagine a lot of effort went into the attempt. Encouragement goes a long way.
Karen Rice should be on this list. She is an awesome teacher for beginners and intermediate painters. I love her work.
She was the first watercolor channel I started to watch on UA-cam. I love her.
Kristy Rice is amazing!
Thanks for the great list! I would recommend Emma Jane Lefebvre and Ellen Crimi Trent as well.
Thanks for sharing! I’d definitely add Laurel Hart, Shayda Campbell, Emma Lefebvre, Matthew White, and Kristin Van Leuven. Some of my favorites!
Shayda and Emma Jane, definitely subscribed to them. On my way checking out the rest! Thanks for the recommendation! 😊
Wait... your channel is also cool!
@@alvirosy Oh, thank you! Just starting it up but having fun.
Thanks for sharing, Britt! ❤️
Great video and very helpful. I am so glad I found your channel this evening! I'm a sponge...I want to LEARN!
I’m glad you found my channel too, happy painting! ❤️🤗
Love Kristy Rice. I dove head first into watercolor after discovering her channel 💖
I highly recommend Oliver Pyle - Our Landscape for amazing in-depth watercolour landscape tutorials, also Rick Surowicz Watercolors, Tim Wilmot for in-depth cityscape tutorials, Tom Shepherd Art for birds and wildlife, Anna Bucciarelli for botanicals, Emily Olson Art for animal and human portraits and fun projects.
Enjoy!!
What an awesome thing to do! I love Karen Rice, she has some really cool techniques, particularly her use of a credit card to make edges.
Thanks a lot Jenna! ❤️❤️
de Winton Paper Co is really good, Harriet de Winton, you’d love her!
Just thought I'd drop a comment here that I signed on to do the art challenge with you for 2022. I hope you enjoyed doing all of your birds. The challenge I set for myself was to do some sort of Art on a weekly basis. I think I've been at least 96% successful keeping that goal. there were some weeks that I did several art projects and there were some that I was more passive in just absorbing art tutorials and getting ideas. I have had so much fun with watercolors and watercolor pencils especially intense. I also started creating things in polymer clay and have enjoyed the process for that even if the end result turned out to be an epic fail. I've definitely been reminded of and embraced Bob Ross's quote about no mistakes in art just happy accidents. :-) I have found in this last year that the Journey of making art has increased the joy in my life. I'm planning on doing the same challenge for this next year. Thanks for inspiring me. Blessings.
I would have loved to have seen the actual names posted on the video, as you narrated. Some were there, others weren't, based on, I'm assuming, the thumbnail to their site. I just discovered you and really enjoy your no nonsense approach to educating us on Watercolors. I look forward to going backwards to view your other videos. Thank you for taking the time to make us all just that much better in our artistic endeavors!
Add Liz chaderton to your list! (I thought I had posted earlier but when I went to add another name I couldn’t find it.) thanks again!
Frank Halliday definitely needs more subscribers, he was teaching in cruise ships for years, is in his 80s now and for bored during lockdown so started a UA-cam channel, easy landscapes with great skies,
Wendy Powell Jones is great, very calm and explains well, vand just started a beginners course,
Heinrich Edgecombe just started new, great simple videos,
Paintinghyun, Liron Yanconsky, Draw with Shiba, Oliver Pyle, Shibasaki, Watercolour café, Yong Chen are great too but much bigger, but I didn't check how big they are
Nianiani already has a lot of followers around 243K but I love her channel and loads to learn.
Great! You’re are so generous.
I subscribed to all artists you mentioned!
Thanks Jenna! 😘
You had me at Paul Clark!! Your recommendation video was the first video I saw of yours and I am hooked! Thank you. I’d like to add In the Studio With Michelle Webber. Another Brit but excellent step by step!,, Thanks Jenna and will keep watching and learning.
Gotta love Paul Clark! Thanks for watching and sharing, glad you like my content!
Been watch Diane Antone for several months and she is really great! Yes she deserves many many more subscribers for sure!
Thank you for the New Year’s gift! A number of these are new to me so I will be looking around. Variety is always a good idea but I have to admit I really enjoy your tutorials and your sense of humor!
❤️❤️❤️
Try watercolour & co. with Elisabetta, who is an Italian watercolour artist and mostly testing different brands, etc. However, she's very interesting and thorough and only has a few hundred subs as at the moment, give her a try. Thanks very much Jenna for another great video. X
Will check these out but would like to mention Steve Mitchell at The Mind of Watercolor, Kerry Newell does watercolor and other media, and Emma Jane Lefebvre, and Kristy Partridge Art. I am having a blast checking out all these artists! Thanks for the video.
Shayda Campbell, and Emma Lefebve, Michelle Webber, Ellen Crimi-Trent
ALL great ones, Misty! This video was for spotlighting channels around/under 20k subs... But thanks for sharing!
Such a good video! Can’t wait to peruse the comments and find some new channels! I’m so glad you included Irit! She is a favorite of mine for sure. I also like Jodie hand and alyonas creations :)
Thanks Jenna I would also add Emma Lefebvre love her especially for beginners!!!
She's great! This video was for spotlighting channels around/under 20k subs... But thanks for sharing!
Ellen Crimi-Trent - her channel is unbelievable!!
YES Ellen Is GREAT!
Yess
What a generous person you are. I also follow Harriet De Winton (De Winton Paper Co). At the moment I only subscribe to you and Harriet's through Patreon and you both have published beautiful books. I love your relaxed approach and honesty. I am looking forward to following you again this year.
Some of those I watch. But others didn't know. Ty so much for sharing these gems! You're awesome
In the Studio with Michelle Weber! She is an excellent teacher. I joined her FB group too.
Thank you for this!!!💕💕💕💕
I am new to watercolor and have been looking for new channels!
I wasn’t subscribed to any of the ones you mentioned, I am now!! ☺️
I watch several of these already.
I’ve really been in a creative rut so I’m really happy to find some new creators!
Hope this helps get out of that rut!!
Blushed Design teaches gorgeous watercolor florals, butterflies, etc. love her videos!
