My dad passed away 7 years ago today after being sick for 3 short weeks with stage 4 cancer. It was a terrible time and hard past 7 years. The reason for me telling you is because we actually used poinsettias to decorate the funeral home, gigantic ones, then smaller ones for the tables at the repast so family members could take one with them to have for the holidays. To me, this painting tutorial was a special gift to help with this day. I am so thankful for you Lindsay 😊
I know the library art class will love painting this. I know I have fun when our local library has a class, we do acrylic paintings. I can't wait to try this one. It will be a fun addition to add to your line and wash course I have. Beautiful!
Very pretty. When that one vein was so big and you alrered it I was very pleased with how it looked afterwards and glad to know how to fix it. That's something I tend to have happen so it's very helpful. This is really beautiful. Thanks so much for the realtime video, too. I love sending and receiving cards, and I'm a saver.
I absolutely love when you do this type of video. I think I’ve painted almost everyone of your 30 minute easy, paint along videos. I’ll be doing this one as soon as I get my new printer.
Today I truly needed one of these videos. I absolutely love to grab a coffee and sit back and listen to you talk through as you create. Doesn't matter what all you talk about, I find it so very calming but there is also the plus of learning from you. Thanks Lindsay. From someone overwhelmed with life and decisions at the moment.
So pretty! There is actually a poinsettia out that is opera pink! I love it but then I really love pink. They keep coming out with new poinsettia colors every year. I do enjoy the real time projects.
I should have written soon. Wanted to say thank you for posting this. I drew a couple and made cards out of them. It was fun, easy and you did a great job of taking us along. It was just the perfect easy card to do. Pray you have a very Merry Christmas and that your dad will begin doing better. Hard on a family when one of the parents is ailing. Blessings to you and your family.
I really enjoy watching your tutorials of watercolor (especially flower's). I find very intriguing of how to approach watercoloring a white poinsettia or any white flower for that matter. I' d love to see you showing how to paint a white flower in the future
Shout-out to that Bic 0.9 in yellow! (Edit: lol I have the exact same one plus a few other colors, that's why I got excited.) They're not great for extended use if you have a tight grip on thin pencils (like me), but they are perfectly functional and those cheap basic refill erasers work if you cut them down to size. I enjoyed this video; as always the suggestions are much appreciated. I'm not painting along, unfortunately, but I did end up participating kinda! ☺ I wasn't sure what to doodle so I tried free-handing my own poinsettia onto the back of an index card. I tried making the bottom leaves look droopy from gravity but it ended up looking wonky instead. Then I realized it looked like arms with pointy hands so I decided to transform the design into a little poinsettia flower troll critter! I made the true flower on the bottom of the cluster bigger and turned it into a head by adding a cute, simple face and two small leaves on either side as ears, so the Poinsettia "flower" looks like a big, fancy, silly hat or crown! Ok most like a Mardi Gras headdress lol. Then I gave it a little vest with buttons, which the leaf arms stick out of, a long generic flower-petal skirt, and some curled seed pod/elf boots. I also created a little vine tail, ending in another round flower at first but I quickly turned it into another leaf instead. That seemed more troll-tuft like to me. Unfortunately, I drew my poinsettia troll creature so tiny that accidental tangents are hard to avoid with all of the veins lol. It's super cute so I'll probably try some simple rendering a little later. I might draw it some more too but figuring out what it would look like from other angles is going to be a bit of a challenge. And I've described it so much because I'm hoping other artists might want to draw their own version! Anyway, thank you for inspiring me, Lindsay!
@olderendirt Thank you! I love folklore creatures and flower fairies and also Pokemon lol, so it was the best inspiration to resolve my disappointment in the moment, and now I also have a new original character (which is something I often struggle with.)
I love this poinsettia painting🎄 I just bought the Hand Painted Holiday course🤯🤯🤯what an amazing bargain Lindsay!!!! There is sooooo much there! I really hope others will hop onto this incredible sale! Wow! Thank you Lindsay thank you! This was my gift to me! I truly have all the supplies I need - and a studio full of , well , hoard… this type of gift is so much fun for me and adds no clutter & helps me use up my stuff!!! Win win😊💕
Lindsay, if I received a hand made card from you I would think it was the best Christmas gift I received! I am sure that the people to whom you give cards absolutely love them!
I LOVE YOUR REAL TIME TUTORIALS!!! So nice to see you “do your thing” and end up with something lovely! Just ink and wash, but filled with ‘Lindsay tips’… Really, really fun!!!
Thank you so much for this! I am working my way through the line and wash class now, and it is a blessing! It is truly saving my sanity. I will take a break and work on this tutorial tomorrow.
Thanks Lindsay. Love the real time🎉 I have a relaxing time drawing a floral but have to remind myself to breathe painting one. I was painting a cardinal while I watched you paint the poinsettia 😅
Very nice. I wish I lived where I could attend your live class at the library. I tried to watch this twice and both times for some reason the “advertiser” seemed to be some kind of European made soap opera subscription lol. Both were modern takes on Cinderella in which Cinderella was not so nice herself lol. Each time Si got caught up and watched about 5 mins before I came out of my trance and went back to your tutorial lol. I haven’t seen that on any of your other tutorials or any one else’s tutorials. Who knows…
Lindsey, is there going to be a cuepon code for you botanical class? I'm definitely interested in purchasing it. Lovely samples you have chosen to teach. I have enjoyed you friendly teaching style from the beginning.
I launched the class at 50% off in October (it pays to snag my classes when I launch them because they are at the lowest price ever, i relaunch the holiday class when i add to it each year, thats why thats on sale) so I don't have plans to put it on sale again for a while. Please subside to my UA-cam channel, blog and newsletter to know when I have a sale or class discount. I aim to pack each class with plenty of content, even at full price:)
@thefrugalcrafter thanks Lindsey, I simply missed it. Still plan on purchasing the class it will just be after the new year. Wanted to let my excitement run away with me! I truly enjoy every class I have taken with you and have revisited them a few times. I learn something I missed each time. I am just pouty that I have to wait for new fun. Happy Holidays!
Sure, it's Jerry q amzn.to/3ZG4HEs and I tool out thr paint and pans that came with it and added my paint in the wells. I used poster putty to tack full pans in the center.
I truly enjoyed this tutorial and hope to see more of this real time type. By the way, what do you know about Shinhan brand watercolor paints? Are they bad, good or ugly? lol thanks❤
I think the PWC and SWC lines are a fabulous buy! They sell open stock 15ml tubes for $6 in some stores. I have a review of the colors in the 32 set. ua-cam.com/video/09L5bqXbEA8/v-deo.htmlsi=UJdJf9SZaSEryqAP and I recommend them. They have another lime named "professional" that isn't as good as the pwc/swc but it's not bad. I have a review of that too: ua-cam.com/video/6xR-OlsNsOY/v-deo.htmlsi=2Y0RGIeNI49wd6U1 There's probably more than you want to know in those 2 videos 😆 🤣 😂
Can you do a video showing how to use different watercolor mediums with our paint. Specifically granulating Windsor and newton medium and qor aquasol flow medium.
I have some videos on watercolor mediums: Granulation medium: ua-cam.com/video/fuac5-reYCU/v-deo.htmlsi=_46aYy097QQlTXg8 And more mediums ua-cam.com/users/live2dsZArLKkAk?si=h-fn8nSAY2Ex7vTo
Have you ever tested out Ferris Wheel Press Inks? Love their colors would really like seeing you use some with your honest view point? Do love the look got one bottle "Ruby Royal Flush" and a sketchbook you suggested. Was interesting (I'm not skilled) thought would be awesome if someone printed on quality paper pre-printed pages to ink to test techniques with QR code to link to a tutorial as I'm not great at anything right now lol recovering from illness (hope you're Dad is doing better). Something printed on quality cold press high grade (prefer nothing made by slavery) sketchbook paper pre-printed or even maybe carbon paper to rub on the page? Idk saw it in my head having hard time getting that across. Love using inks and especially love Ferris Wheel Press Inks yet, couldn't really find many artists like yourself using them in a way that was helpful ink tips. Would love to hear you thoughts and honest review from your perspective if you consider that? Thank you for sharing and inspiring for all these years. God bless to you and yours. *My grandmother passed away few years ago she loved these flowers. Made me smile.

I’m so sorry for your loss, and I’m glad the tutorial could bring you some peace today. Thank you for sharing this special memory. Hugs:)
I'm in the process of painting your other poinsettia "free and loose".
Just something to do..
Thanks. Love watching you.

As always, I really enjoy the real-time tutorials!
Thanks! It's always fun to see the process unfold.
Gosh, I wish my local library had art classes like this! Great ink & wash project. ❤️
You should see if they’d be open to hosting a workshop! You could teach it!
@thefrugalcrafter Ha! I am far far from being a teacher. But I will see how to make a request.
Poinsettia's are so wonderful. Thank you for this tutorial, Lindsay.
I am glad you liked it!

It's next week.
Where is the library class? Love to see if there’s space !
It filled up the day it was announced:(
Love your pallet. I've never seen one with that size of pans. Vanbyou share that information, please? Thx for your consideration.
Sure, it's Jerry q amzn.to/3ZG4HEs and I tool out thr paint and pans that came with it and added my paint in the wells. I used poster putty to tack full pans in the center.

@ Not too much at all. I have an inquiring mind after all. Thank you for taking time out of your day to answer!!
Would love to know what palette you are using. Full pans in the middle-I may be in love. I found the palette. What you did with it is genius!
it's this one: I took pit the pans that cam with it and filled the wells and added full pans in the center with poster tack.
@@thefrugalcrafter I think AI may have removed some info from your reply

I’m so glad you liked it!
Love it!
Thanks!
This is a beautiful painting ❤ I went to get the brushes and it says they are out of stock.😢 Do you think they will do another release in the future?
Yes, they had a delay on getting the packaging. They should be back in stock soon.
Brushes where not available
I just heard from them today, they are experiencing a delay in packaging.
How does one get the pattern onto watercolor paper?
Or print onto watercolor paper?
I recommend printing it on copy paper and then using a light box or a window to trace it or you can use graphite transfer paper.
