- Hi Friends.
Painting watercolor shouldn't be about rules but about finding JOY and using your precious free time to elevate your life. I'm here to push fears aside, avoid complicated tools and inspire free spirited, mood shifting watercolor experiences in short bursts of time.
1. Loose with pencil
2. Bold brushstrokes
3. Sketching with watercolor
I hope you'll paint along with me and ask all the questions you want in comments! Post your creations using the hashtags #artforjoysake and #forgetrulesforgetrightrememberjoy
Happy Painting!

Intro and Outtro Calligraphy by the late Kelle McCarter
Kristi I love what you just said !! Like I want to watercolor that on my forehead so I can apply it to my entire life !!
“ you don’t need an arsenal of brushes, you just need an arsenal of brush strokes”
BAM that’s like therapeutic !! 🐥
Oh I forgot I said that!!! Thanks for the reminder and I’m glad it inspired you!!
You, my dear, are an EXCELLENT teacher!!! I am a beginner and all I can say is that as you age, you just don't grasp things like you used to, whether it's your memory or understanding...I have no difficulty with your style of teaching in any respect. Trust me, I've watched tons & tons of tutorials and without a doubt, you are the best! That means so much to me as I try to fill in these long days of mine. THANK YOU Kristy!
Nancy Lynn Wow oh my goodness!!!!! Thank you so much for saying so. It means so much! XO
Thanks Kristy! I feel like when you're a beginner every piece of watercolour paper is precious and you don't want to waste them on the practice that you know you really need! So I love how you used the back of these pages from your water colouring book! What a great idea! Thank you :)
Emble7 You bet!!! Thanks so much for watching!!!
Kristy! I’ve been looking where to put this review for your joy of art brushes....I’m IN LOVE with these.
I mean even better than my Princeton’s. Oh my it’s not always the artist but the brushes and tools you use.
I love your quirky ways and have learned a lot from you. Thank you.
I just can’t stress to everyone ( I’m not getting a kickback y’all ) just how wonderful they are.
With these I’ve put away my other brushes and only using your set of 6.
I’ll be your advocate with how great they are. I will be getting more. Yours is inexpensive enough I could stretch my strict budget and buy them.
Ohh my gosh thank you!! If you have the time a review on Amazon would be sooo awesome!!
The Windsor and Newton brush is the one I think I learned on 30 years ago. Just beginning again. Just need to start. 😂
I hope you still see these comments, I am a newer sub and let me just say, the reason you named about such strict teachers is why I could never take art classes. I could watch the Master Bob at work for hours but never ever get through an art class. I am SO GLAD I found you!!
And I am so glad you're here!
Definitely my favorite brushstrokes tutorial by far !! Thank you for making this so fun and achievable 😊
Thank you!!!
“You don’t need an arsenal of brushes but you do need an arsenal of brushstrokes “ 💥
LOVE This video tutorial! Thank you
Thanks for being here!!!!
Never in my life would it ever occur to me to paint with the sides of a paint brush, or just the tip, or ..... a lot of things. These brush stroke exercises are brilliant & a great way to learn the full potential of a brush! It also feels, oddly (cuz it was unexpected), liberating, tho I'm not yet sure why that is.
The next time you paint is going to be wild!! In amazing ways!
@@KristyRice I'm allowing myself to paint like a 4yo.
Your instruction videos are so motivating! Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Love the pinkie trick. Just did a practice landscape and noticed a blotch in the snow that matched with side of my hand. 👏 (It turned into a pale dip in the snow) I learned how to change it from an oopsie to a happy accident from you
I am enjoying mark making since I have upgraded to professional grade brushes. Student brushes (cheap synthetic) made things difficult at first, but I love daggers and my new one is lovely. I may still get the Royal 1/4 later, but the SBV is stunning ;-) Thank you for this, I am watching it again, letting a layer dry.
TerrieJ DimestoreDivaTV it’s a whole different world!!! Glad you are enjoying!!
Sooooooo, I’ve been watching your tutorials on leaves and decided I needed a dagger brush. I ordered your set only to find I have one in another set 😂
No problem, I’ll keep yours for travel in the fun pouch lol it’s an adorable set.
Well I’m honored! Enjoy :)
Not to be annoying ...There is a round brush in this video and I like that you suggest practice assignments. I find myself not painting or learning if I have to be creating something specific.
Thank you so much! I feel a lot more confident . . . hugs! xo
Wonderful!! XO
What great instruction. You’ve really given me some wonderful ideas on how to practice. This is exactly what I needed. Many thanks.
You are very welcome! How is practice coming along?
It's great. I'm re watching right now and following along. I love the results.
I loved the berry design that you and your cousin were painting in your video. Which book is this image in?
Painterly Days Woodland I believe :)
So in love with that "Rosemary Triangular Brush"! Tara, OKC
Thank you
This looks like fun! Thank you for the demo. My friend and I bought dagger brushes (same as yours) and I have to say that the bristles separate a lot. We might like the brushes better if the bristles didn't do that--your's don't seem to do what each of ours do so we're a little bummed about it. We might consider buying new ones, but feel like it would be Russian roulette as to whether we got better ones or not. That triangular brush looks interesting though!
Really, I've never had that issue!! So strange. If you like the dagger, you'll definitely love the triangular!
Very informative! Thank you
Thank you!
Gotta ask... which mic are you using for your UA-cam videos? I'm rethinking my online course setup (non-art topics) and asking fav youtubers what they're using.
I think it’s called a Blue Snowball iCE!
Thank you Kristy for this demonstration. I am fairly new to water coloring and I do like the daggers. However I am interested in the Rosemary triangular brush you showed but when I clicked on the link the prices were in pounds instead of dollars so I am assuming (they say you should never so that)they are a British company. Are they sold anywhere at all in the U.S.? I don't want to purchase a $10.00 brush and have to pay that much or more for shipping. Again Thank you. I absolutely love your work over at Momental.
Sherron Robinson I ordered mine from the site as I could not find a US source :( If I do find one I will let you know!! Thanks for watching!
I can't find a way to get the Rosemary and Co. Dagger in the U.S. Do you know where I can buy it? Thank you. Love your work!
I’ve only ever found mine direct from the manufacturer overseas! Take a look at my brush set on Amazon. Two daggers are included!
I have an "arsenal" of various brands and sizes of daggers. they do it all.
only one brush in appropriate size per painting. thing is I abuse them and they aren't carried Brick and mortar. I'm surprised u didn't show how well it does grasses dryish on side upsweep or, really, how well it replaces a rigger.... much more controllable and precise/fine... depending on brand I (and THAT is critical) while a rigger only does one thing really. Oh, I see you did with triangular but dagger was held at wrong angle for fine rigging work. I used to use those as they were readily available but, then, I found daggers and they're much preferred for me. Thanks for the demo.
Pat Kin thanks so much for watching!! My painting philosophy is much more about using materials that you love and in a way you're most comfortable with. I tend to break a lot of the rules, I guess you might say :)
which brand of watercolor did you use there? loved it!
Biel Gava QoR :)
Hi, Kristy! Can I ask what that watercolor palette is that you're using? It looks like it holds a lot of colors.
Of course!!! So this is a vintage watercolor palette and it's about 7x9 so pretty big! Etsy is a great place to find them! XO
@@KristyRice Thank you! I'll take a look. I have your new book and am slowing learning this art. I enjoy all of your videos too. Thank you!
@@ReneeW59 Love it!! The Free-Spirited Watercolor Book is a PROJECT to work through...enjoy every step though, it's such an incredible journey! XO
Kristy, where is triangular brush available other than in Great Brittain?
I searched but alas, no dice...Thank you for your response! Marguerite
I have not found them for sale from a US source however shipping was extremely affordable and very fast!
Kristy Rice I was looking for them, too and found them in these places. Beste Fountain Brushes& CD at Jerry's Artarama $36. Silver Brush 3 pack amazon $35. Fox and Quills wedge brushes (4) $57 Betsy. Hope this helps.
That was supposed to be etsy
why do you feel the need to have 100 colors.....?
You can get all those colors from a few. main colors... and more importantly People cant usually afford 100 paint tubes at 25$a pop...
I wouldnt encourage that!
I personally don't like taking the time to mix colors, it is not something I encourage beginners to get super tangled up in because it can be stressful and take away from the joy of the painting experience. I encourage painters to purchase tubes of paint collectively so that the costs are spread amongst 5-7 people per tube. Also what type of watercolors are you using that are $25 a pop!!?
