I have spent the last half hour totally absorbed in your channel. You have to be the most helpful, and easiest to learn from person, on youtube. You are wonderful!
You are my new favourite teacher : )
So concise and super helpful, thank you so much! 🤗
You are the best teacher for the beginners. So glad found your channel. I want to paint flowers for my son's wedding sign hope I will follow some of your technique to start.
Thanks so much 😊. You’ll do great!
Hi Kristin, this was one of the first videos which helped me painting. Now I can paint decently following tutorials but can you please make a video of giving ideas what we can do to develop further? Thanks!
Watched many and yours is the best for beginners ❤❤❤
Thank you !!! A great video .
I’m new and super excited that I found you and subscribed! So much information in such a short video…thank you so very much!!
I am making a whole playlist of watercolor basics and color theories videos from your channel, your voice is calm and you speak slowly which makes it easier for me to understand! 😌
Thank you so much!!! This is great and so helpful.
I am a new subscriber of yours on IG, and so glad that I am, as I found this youtube, which is exactly what Ive been looking for. I love these shorter youtubes, but with so much content. Thank you, from New Zealand.💜
Found you on Instagram and am in love with your work. I can’t wait to practice your tutorials!!
The salt aspect is so cool. TFS, all very helpful ! xo
I've been loving your IG--- and so glad you're here on UA-cam. I'm an herbalist, and I'm trying to learn to paint botanicals better.... Love the plants! Thank you for this!
I follow you on Instagram and was happy to see this video. Learned some new things, thank you!
Love this so much. Just what I needed ❤ can’t wait to get some supplies you noted and get started!!
You got this! Tag me if you post about it!
This is wonderful! I love your content on Instagram and so glad you're on UA-cam! I'm new to watercolors, and I'm a stay at home mom of a 4-year-old so I don't have a ton of time to devote to learning, so concise and informative videos are so so helpful!
I'm so glad! I have 4 kids so I want to make my videos concise too haha
Gracias . ❤👏👏👏😂
This is wonderful ❤️
Very helpful thank you very much 🙏
Thank you!!💕💕💕
No longer a beginner, but wish I had this this video when I was!
Great video! So much information in one video. Thanks so much for a super resource!
Glad it was helpful!
I loved this, just what I needed! I have all the gear but no idea 😂 thanks!
Very helpful- thanks so much
I'm so glad to have discovered your work last year, I really love your style and pace, looking forward to learning more in 2023!
This. My feelings exactly on style and pace.
Thank you so much! That means so much to me!
Thank you Scrapjoy! I love the feedback
It was so informative , love and blessings Kristen
Just a heads up the Polina site has a sale for two more days on top of the discount from Kristin. It's a great deal! 01/25/23
Have you ever thought about grey or beige warm versus cool colors you can create when other colors are added?
For example, if you start with a cool taupe, how can you add colors to create a soft but warm green or teal etc. Another random color mix, what do you mix with a cool leaning rust to warm it up? I’m new to your channel! Love it!
Thank you for the great videos! I'm looking to get into watercolor and this really helped.
Something I would also ask you though is what scanner would you recommend to scan watercolors? I've been looking for one, but I don't know what to look for.
Thanks!
P.S. I'm also a stay at home mom :)
I need to save this video until I get all those awesome techniques
Do you have a painting where you used masking fluid? If not, would you mind doing one?
Are the colors you used and noted the ones you recommend for beginners? I’m making a list to start buying 😊
Yes they are! The ones in the description are what I use most of the time
how do you know which colors are which in your palette? especially the similar shades? just memory or familiarity with the colors?
A lot of it's memory, but when I set up a new palette I make a reference guide. I paint the colors on a piece of paper in the order they're in the palette and put the names next to them. Maybe I'll make a video to show this process if it helps!
@@kristinvanleuven yes, please! I second guess myself constantly and as I'm just starting out I don't want to make things more difficult for myself! so any examples of method or ideas are awesome. I love the way you teach in your tutorials. your teaching style and art style are so lovely and I just relax at the cadence of your voice! so happy to have come across you and look forward to watching more!
Any paper suggestions other than Arches? It is pricey for a beginner making lots of mistakes.
It's tricky because I feel like my practice paintings always looked bad UNTIL I painted on arches. For practice you can use any watercolor paper 140lb weight like Canson, but I would get some nice paper too to try out because paintings always look better on good paper. It's a confidence booster!
I get the Arches pads that aren't glued down in blocks for around $20-25 on Amazon and then cut the papers down into smaller sizes so I feel like that ends up being pretty affordable for me. I hope that helps!
Why let the liquid paint dry if you prefer it over pans, isn’t it sort of becoming the same thing that way 2:22
Nice video 👍🏻😄 brand of the palette?
Yes, I would like to know that too.
Oh, she has in links!😊
