Floral Watercolor Demonstration: Zinnias! 🌸 (+ my method and tips for painting with an EASEL!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- Curious about using watercolors with a desktop table easel? Or any type of easel? I LOVE painting with an easel! It takes some getting used to (especially for watercolor artists), but it's so good for your posture, and it's easy to step back and look at your painting as a whole from time to time. This method has saved my neck from strain and pain, so I wanted to offer a few tips for painting watercolors in an upright position. I also wanted to show you what I'm currently painting - This Zinnia floral arrangement! I give you some techniques and methods for my style of painting with watercolor, and I let you watch in real time as well as time-lapse/speed painting! I hope you enjoy, please let me know if you have any questions in the comments below and I will get back to you right away.

So beautiful Shealeen. Even though I don't paint realistic flowers, there's so much I learnt from watching you paint. thank you for your generous sharing.
I'm so glad! Thanks Crystal!
Your voiceover is very natural! Great video
Thanks! Glad you think so! Cheers. 🌸👌
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous! Your flowers jump off the page. Great tip about waiting for flower centers to dry before adding other colors! Thank you❤
Glad it was helpful! 💕☺️
Beautiful and so true about an aging flower. I picked a rose from my garden , put it in a vase and sketched it every day. With every phase the rose went thru there was always some beauty to it.
What a beautiful, intriguing idea! I think I’m going to try this.
You and dan gotta keep these coming! For both your channel's
More to come for sure. :) It's alot of work but we're both pretty committed to being consistent for the long haul!
Oh my goodness, thank you for actually painting on and explaining how to go about painting on an easel and not just showing the easel, lol. And those flowers are gorgeous! I love the idea of finding the beauty in the wilting ones as well as the fresh ones. It makes me wonder what other things would be nice to paint that are past their prime stages.
I paint at a desk but I have an adjustable desktop "easel".. it's basically a desktop drafting table. I paint at about a 45 degree angle. I have pretty serious arthritis so I can't hunch over a flat surface. This set up allows me to rest my arms on the bottom edge while still having my subject at eye level, it's also convenient to tape paper directly to. I've seen professional watercolorists paint vertical.. with good paper it's not that much of an issue. Also a good quality ergonomic chair that fits you properly makes all the difference in the world.
Absolutely gorgeous! 🍃🌸🍃
fabulous beauty of painted flowers
Beautiful work.
Beautiful!
This is so pretty ...
your audio is so clear !!! I need to try out my new mic :-)
👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent!!!!!
Many thanks!
Great tutorial but you caught my eye with that paint palette! Beautiful work all around!
Wow this is just beautiful. Love your color and technique
So very beautiful. Thank you.
Those zinnias look exactly like my garden of zinnias. So beautiful!
Love that! :)
LOVE THIS SO MUCH! THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome!! I'm happy you enjoyed it! :)
I'm soo falling in love with your paintings.. great work Shealeen Louise..
That is so beautiful. First video of yours I watched and half way through I subscribed. I want to do that.
Absolutely stunning!
Very nice! Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing!
Wow, that turned out very nice!
Aww well thank you!
I loved this paint along, though I painted just one Zinnia (for the artoberflowers challenge). I usually listen to some music while painting but this video was so soothing, I must have easily played it about 10 times. Shea's voice is so calming and I felt I was actually painting with her. I had a lot of fun !! Big thank you for inspiring ♥️
This is so beautiful 😍!
Love the detailing and layers , i too love using a lot of layers when I paint.
I love your painting videos and look forward to learning from them. Thank you for leading us through your beautiful painting style!
Hi Deb!! Thanks so much 😊 That really means alot!
Love your video.. you very talented
Thanks maischa!! :)
Wow! That’s remarkable!
This is exquisite, Shealeen. I feel the same way about wilting, dying, and dried flowers! I have many dried sunflower, lavender and yarrow bouquets around my home and I want to paint them!
I love that!! I have a few from my wedding bouquet that I couldn’t stand to throw away haha.
Very nice :) that painting is for my aunt!
Suuuuuure is! :)
Hey Shealeen! I very randomly came across your Instagram account when looking at pretty porcelain palettes 😍 I’m glad I found you as I adore your videos! Very beautiful and inspiring art
That’s so encouraging to hear! Thank you Tessa! Glad you enjoy them. Thanks for taking the time to leave a real sweet comment. 🤗♥️

I'll have to try the easel...always worried about dripping...thank you - lovely tutorial :)
wow
Beautiful! What pencil do you used, I always see my lines after painting yours I don’t.
I recommend f pencils! 😊 they are the best for erasing!
What’s an F pencil though
I enjoy watercolor paintings. BTW, what is that new mic you're using since 'dad' mentioned the audio? Sounds like you were doing a voice over of the original recording. I mean, why not, not much in the way of 'action sounds' going on with painting anyway. Keep up the great work.
Haha it’s a rode lapel mic! Not super high quality buuuut does the job!
Oh my God! I want this in my room. Is it available for purchase, soon? :)
YES! society6.com/product/zinnia-florals_print?curator=shealeenlouise
What kind of board are you taping the watercolor paper too?
It’s a rigid cardboard! :)
