@@Angie-pl3uw Ooooh I love this! Do you follow me on Tiktok or Instagram? I feel like I may need to do a mini lesson for this bloom soon in one of those places! @kristythepainter
@@KristyRice No, but I will. I love mixing on paper as it always does gorgeous things. I don’t always remember to do so, and I end up mixing on my pallets. I think that your mixing on paper is what makes you so unique!
I wonder if I am your oldest and least talented follower? Beginning a new hobby at 79 is a little scary. But, I am enjoying your work, your style, the time I send with you so much. Thank you. bb
It’s never too late to play with color! I started watercolor after retiring - this is a great site to learn and experiment with techniques. You’ll learn a lot from this gal. (I wish I had found her site sooner!)
Hey! Age has nothing to do with learning!! Be kind to yourself. Just take your time & keep an open mind. The only limits are the ones we impose upon ourselves!
There is NO way I can tell you how much I have learned in 6 weeks. Not just how to paint... but how to THINK how to paint. There is a diff friends! I do her tutorials, I watch her vids in triplicate and for the FIRST time ever I can say... "Hey? I like what I'm doing! This looks cool and I'm in control. And even more? I'm having a GOOD TIME!" Well done Miss Kristy!!! I can't wait to see what happens next!!!
This is the art I want to do. I am blown away with how you are giving away all your secrets, I love it. The outrageous colours, they are so startlingly good.
I have watched this video multiple times and each time I get a little bit better. I can stop and rewatch sections I'm struggling with. Kristy does a great job of giving step-by-step instructions while also being joyful and enthusiastic about the technique.
I’m a very new beginner and am loving your style of teaching ! You are making it so perfect for me to understand the different ways to use brushes to make different shapes and shading etc. As you point out each step so clearly it makes me really understand how to do things so much better! Thanks for going over step by step , it makes it so much more clear . Looking forward to following you as I move forward . Thanks for your technique !
I am a 30+ year floral designer. Thanks for the tutorial and your support of the carnation. It’s the workhorse of the industry, lasts long, smells beautiful and comes in many beautiful colors
I started out struggling with watercolor because I thought there was a "right" way to do it, and I wasn't accomplishing that "right" way. But I discovered YOU, Kristy, and you've opened up the world to me with watercolor!! I cannot wait until vacation, when I have time to get out my supplies and give it another try. Thanks! You're amazing!!
Wow Kristy I sure am glad I found your channel. I have been wanting to learn watercolor but have been so overwhelmed. You make it easy. Not only that but you're not just a painter. You are a poet, a prophetess and a color romancer all in one big package. I can't believe you held me captive for 50 some minutes. It seemed live 5. I myself am a poet with over 20,000 poems under my pen. Now I want to paint my poetry with different scenes. I am really interested in painting abstract faces and wierd looking bugs. LOL Well anyway I will be watching way more of you. Not only that but you like totally inspired me to start a RUclips channel and present my poetry as artwork. Wow never thought of that before! I have way too much word art to share with the world and its been sitting in bags for over 10 years. Love your personality. You deserve all the success in the universe!!!!!!!!!! Steve J.
That was wonderful...almost sounded like a marriage proposal...good luck on your endeavors.. let us know when you start you...."poetry in motion".. that's what you should call your channel.. ❤❤❤
So glad I found you. I purchased your brushes and they have changed the way I paint FOREVER. Please keep doing what you are doing, you are a delight. ❤
Oh my goodness!!!! I love this. I have watched so many watercolor videos and NO ONE I have seen yet has used the brush damp ON THE REFERENCE IMAGE to teach and all this time... I thought I was catching on but when you did that... EVERYTHING clicked!!! You are A-MAZING!!!
I started water colour painting of flowers a few years ago. I just watched RUclips to help me understand some of the basic techniques, but your videos have helped me understand that there’s a lot more to learn to make my paintings better. I am 78 yo and painting keeps me busy and hopefully from getting dementia later on. Thanks so much for sharing your videos and ideas. I loved all the flowers that you painted and hopefully I could improve my painting specially on daffodils and carnations which I tried painting before. I just taught myself how to paint and need to learn more. Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🙏💕💕
After years of playing around with acrylic paint, at 71yrs old I decided to attempt watercolour painting. OMG I found it so hard….. until I found your videos. Thank you so much, it is all making sense to me now. You explain and demonstrate the techniques so well.
Kristy , you're an awesome teacher, because you show every little detail, from brush pressure strokes to paint coloring and lines . You are AWESOME !! Thank you so very much ☺️. You inspire me more than I am already . Keep up the "GREAT" work !!!
I just found you the other day and have been watching your videos. My cousin said you were full of life and that I would love your style!. She is right !! I love listening to you and so feel like a sponge trying to get this to all make sense. I am new to painting period. Want to learn watercolor and Acrylic both so my mind is racing to say the least. I just ordered your brushes even though I have a bunch of brushes, but none like your so I though ok, I need the proper tools to learn with, so I will have them Thursday, along with the paper you are using. I did not have any watercolor paints, so I watched your video on all those brands, and decided to order Paul Rubens set of 35 5ml tubes lol and I don't even know if I will like it. I am sure I will. I have been drawing with colored pencil and graphite for almost 3 years now, and I am ready to take on painting. I so look forward to learning from you and I am slowly working my way through your channel. any tips you can give me would be wonderful. I am so nervous about it like getting on a horse for the first time !. I am playing some with my watercolor pencils. I know that technique is totally different but it is easy on the nerves lol
Wow, you’re super good teacher🤩 Thanks for showing us the strokes on a different paper! Please can you have a video for Peonies, it’s so so difficult 😥 Many Thanks
This is what I have been searching for! Great Tutorial, love your detailed instruction on placement and how much water and paint to load before we paint. Without that I have to rewind to see how your painted petals look so I can try and match the amount of paint you have painted. Love this one! It needs a heart not just a thumbs up. Its so easy to follow for us newbies. Your awesome!
Thank you for this! I've just discovered you today! I've learned so much from this one video - and I've watched many many others. Your reminding me of using color & more color & more color is great! As a beginner it's easy to get "stuck" on one color... but the beauty of watercolors is that blend of colors. And your side instructions inside the video, i.e. leaves, teardrops, etc. are so helpful. Really glad I found you! Can't wait to see your others... but I just had to stop and write. THANK YOU!
Oh my goodness! This is such great practice for me because my internal struggle is perfectionism and rigid organization. My spice cabinet and pantry are alphabetized and everything in my closets and drawers are like soldiers at inspection. When I first saw your watercolor palette, my internal voice said 😱!!! I cringe and tighten my shoulders when I accidentally smear one color over another. 😂 Oh, wow, I have a long way to go in regards to relaxing and “don’t worry about that drop of water. Turn it into an amazing leaf.” Your style of teaching is perfect for me. I’m so insecure about every stroke and color blend. My one art class was in college. As an elementary special education major, I had to take the beginning Art 101 class that the Art Majors and Fine Arts Majors had to take. Our professor was a perfectionist - and my grade reflected my inexperience and inability to create acceptable, (to him), assignments. That “2.0” on my formerly “4.0” GPA took a couple of years to bring back up, and it felt so unfair. Of course, compared to those amazing artists, I was a fumbling toddler; but I felt demeaned, and inept. It kept me from continuing with painting and coloring kinds of crafts. You are helping me get through the PTSD that class gave me. Thank you so much!!!
I’m working on a video about “art wounds” because so many of us have them. The most important aspect of teaching creativity and dare I say art is making sure you give folks permission to fail. I hear so many stories like yours and it breaks my heart. All that behind you now, you are here and we have a lot to learn from each other! XO
That will be an amazing video, and I look forward to seeing it. I’m ready to learn, and to shed the traumas of the past as I learn to have joy in my art journey.🤗❤️
Best watercolor demo I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot. Such detailed instruction on strokes, brush holding, and color. Thanks for a true demonstration, and very useful tips. I’ve subscribed!!!!!
Your instruction is a genuine answer to my prayers. I love your philosophy and your techniques. I own your books, but having you almost live … speaking to me I’m my own home is just a dream! I’m more grateful than you can know. God bless you! 🙏🏼♥️
I just bought your book and brushes your using. I also got the paper your using. I hope I can do this. I’m a beginner with no drawing skills. I suffer essential tremors pretty bad so being actually perfect isn’t easy. But I don’t give up. I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you for inspiration. I have loads of different watercolor pallets. So I would like to use those.
I have watched this video only of yours,friend, and I have learned so many different things and I am so very excited to try some new things. You sound like my dear friend as well as this sweet little girl on Tiktok who gets ready in the morning and calls out “Hi Friends”. Back to paint I will follow you, follow you wherever you will go, because you have so much great info to teach us. Thanks
Love these flowers! I watched while cooking dinner and I can’t wait to get back to my paints to watch again and paint along with you. Even my non-painting family members were intrigued and stopped by to watch.
I would love tropical flowers. I live in Florida, and summer Isco I got. Bird of paradise, hibiscus, ginger, curcuma., orchids. Thank you. Love pairing with you.I got up a 4;30 am, excited to paint with you.
Infectious personality, that’s the first word that came to mind when I stumbled upon your videos! I’m a beginner in watercolor, I haven’t put water to pigment since elementary school. I’m going to binge your videos so I’m ready when my paints get here. 🎨
I have been following you for a while now. Just want to tell you I love your instructions. You also remind me of my sister. My name is Norma Ash. I am a 84 year grandma and I have been trying to paint with water colors for a few years and you have taught me a lot in a few weeks since I found you.
I learned so much!!! Brushes, movement, paint, style, and it's all very beautiful and some appear beginner friendly... almost all actually, but the there are those of us who are a bit timid about loose... ❤ Love your rich colors! And like how you talk us thru the steps and the reasons!!! I decided to to call these my Kristy pep rallies!!! With love from a California Gramma ❤
You inspire me to take chances and boy do I make a lot of mistakes! But each day I like my work a little better. 68 and never painted so really starting from square one. Thank you for your guidance and helping me to relax while I paint! Hoping to take the “flatness” away from my work…practice makes happy!
Kristy I'm having a blast with your vids on leaves and flowers tonight, especially that morning glory blew me away. And you were right - Komorebi watercolor set brings a ton of joy (must be those crazy neons, lol).
Hello Kristy. You are addressing my very problem. Being loose. Just let it go . Make squiggly lines. This is where I have the problems. Not being uniformed. Not making little copies in a row. And if it does come out differently then I think it looks stupid and try to get rid of it.. I love you spotlight instruction. Up close and personal. Seeing the actual brush do what its suppose to do. Very good. You are a keeper. You really do understand us newbies. And you care that we do a great job. Thank you so much for all you tender care…….
I'm so glad I found you- your art is stunning, you break it down into manageable steps for us, and you're a blast!!! When I hear your voice come through the speaker it immediately puts a smile on my face, for real 😄💗🖌🖼
Dear Kristy, I just found U. I mean the new line of watercolor U. I have your coloring books that are lovely. I came across your page by accident, as am in a block, have not been painting for a month. Said I need a refesher course in flowers 🌺. And there you were doing a tutorial about how to paint 5 or 6 flowers step by step. I fell in love with your approach. I am a very loose watercolor artist. Not to good at times, not to bad at times, you no how it goes.But you dear Artist are doing a banger job.Now after all that my question is are you going to show us all the flowers, most of us are in need to refresh. Well I will not keep you any longer, as I have Subscribed, and must get back to Kristy,s Paintbrush, by Love.
I have recently come across your chanel and I have painted one flower per day. Some have been amazing, some have been utterly dogshit, all have forced me to paint more loosely and artistically. I feel grown, like I have grown a bit more as an artist and learned a massive load of new skills. Thank you so much!
Hi Kristy. You are so talented and I am addicted to your tutorials. Your techniques are amazing, your videos are teaching me so much! You are the best!!
Thank you for this. I'm a rank 81 year old beginner to be sure but I see here what is possible as I gain skills. I just love it and have been learning from U Tube videos the basics. At this point I need better brushes and paints to work up to paint some of these flowers.
You are a fabulous teacher! I subscribed when I saw you literally hold your brush over the morning glory image to show me th3 stroking for each petal. Looking forward to learning lots.
I have just begun learning to paint with watercolor, and I feel there are so many rules, but I am truly enjoying the journey thus far! I was following along with your video and when you started painting the daffodils I was right there with you - up til you painted 7 flower petals on it. your photo example even shows 6 outer petals. I only know this as I was learning to paint daffodils years ago while I was painting rocks with a group. I always liked to look up photo examples for my subject, because I try to keep whatever it is, to be an accurate representation of the painting I paint. I just wanted to tell you about the six petal phenomenon that are daffodils. I will continue watching your videos, I enjoy your enthusiastic style of painting and teaching. Thank, you!!
I don’t pay attention to those type of details all the time. Still looks like a daffodil so I’m happy. I’ve found it so helpful on my journey to start with a reference photo for an overall vibe but I don’t continue looking back at the photo as I’ve learned this causes me stress and steals my joy. It’s funny this video has been popular but also has garnered so much concern for how many daffodil petals I included and my non-morning glory type leaves. Interesting phenomena! Thanks so much for watching!
I have never painted any flowers other than doodles with watercolor. And although some of them have turned out beautiful I so appreciate the specific tips for specific flowers. You are a great inspiring teacher and I thank you so much for sharing your time in a talent with us. You make me think I can actually do this!
This was great fun to watch, Kristy!! I came out very ready to paint with purpose!!!! I love how you teach us to come back with another boost of color on our brush to gain less boredom on our paintings. Thank you SO MUCH!!
I love hearing the passion in your voice as you teach! I'm new to watercolours and have had a lot of fun watching/learning from you. Thanks for sharing!
I found out about your channel while watching someone else. You are truly incredible! So talented & a fabulous teacher. I can hear everything you say, & you break everything down & make it seem so easy. You are such good value!! Thanks friend, cheers from Western Australia, 😊❤️😍🥰💕😘

Fireweed!!! I'm from Alaska and it is by far my favorite flower....but challenging to paint! I think the Larkspur in this video is helpful, but the Fireweed has a very unique center with a cross-shaped little frill thing. Perhaps you could help me learn to paint my cherished flower?

How is it going?? X
It’s never too late to play with color! I started watercolor after retiring - this is a great site to learn and experiment with techniques. You’ll learn a lot from this gal. (I wish I had found her site sooner!)
Hey! Age has nothing to do with learning!! Be kind to yourself. Just take your time & keep an open mind. The only limits are the ones we impose upon ourselves!
I’m 65 and a complete beginner I can’t even sketch lol I just want to have a go. I am craft and work with parchment craft. Look it up on line
I’m so glad you wrote! I wonder if I’m too old at 67 but you’ve encouraged me! ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to see blue sunflowers
Oh Kristy teach me how to paint! You are so much fun! Thank you, Lynn Eyland, Halifax, Nova Scotia! Lovely work!
You are so welcome!

Kirsty, I absolutely envy (in a good way😊) how you do this.... You make it look so easy😕... and you're an amazing tutor! ❣️
Thanks so much 😊
Boring? No! I wait for your next stroke and the end of the beautiful flowers; had to subscribe. Thanks again 💝
Thank you’s so much for watching!
I painted along with you and although my flowers look nothing like yours I'm pretty happy with the results. I'll keep on trying.
I have been following you for a while now. Just want to tell you I love your instructions. You also remind me of my sister. My name is Norma Ash. I am a 84 year grandma and I have been trying to paint with water colors for a few years and you have taught me a lot in a few weeks since I found you.
So so glad you’re here!
I love your energy, enthusiasm, and the way you teach, sooo encouraging ❤
This video is so incredibly helpful. I can't thank you enough. I also purchased your brush set and the Baohong Academy paper. Total gamechangers!
Wonderful!
I learned so much!!! Brushes, movement, paint, style, and it's all very beautiful and some appear beginner friendly... almost all actually, but the there are those of us who are a bit timid about loose... ❤ Love your rich colors! And like how you talk us thru the steps and the reasons!!! I decided to to call these my Kristy pep rallies!!! With love from a California Gramma ❤
I'm so glad!
Your my favorite teacher. Such joy comes from you voice. I’m a do it yourselfers. Can’t wait to rewatch with my paints. Ty.
Thank you!!
I have never had any inclination to draw flowers. Having said that, water colour flowers look so pretty so definitely going to try something new
Have fun!
You inspire me to take chances and boy do I make a lot of mistakes! But each day I like my work a little better. 68 and never painted so really starting from square one. Thank you for your guidance and helping me to relax while I paint! Hoping to take the “flatness” away from my work…practice makes happy!
Mistakes are a good thing! It means you’re alive, moving and most excitingly--evolving!! XO
You are a incredible teacher! Love to follow your video and listen to you. Thank you! ❤
Thanks for being here!
Kristy I'm having a blast with your vids on leaves and flowers tonight, especially that morning glory blew me away. And you were right - Komorebi watercolor set brings a ton of joy (must be those crazy neons, lol).
That morning glory gave me fits as I was filming but it finally came around!
Your instruction is wonderful…So now I understand that the shape of brushes matter…so gorgeous, I love it so much❣️🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽Mia
Hello Kristy. You are addressing my very problem. Being loose. Just let it go . Make squiggly lines. This is where I have the problems. Not being uniformed. Not making little copies in a row. And if it does come out differently then I think it looks stupid and try to get rid of it.. I love you spotlight instruction. Up close and personal. Seeing the actual brush do what its suppose to do. Very good. You are a keeper. You really do understand us newbies. And you care that we do a great job. Thank you so much for all you tender care…….
I appreciate such a thoughtful comment. Thank you!!
I'm so glad I found you- your art is stunning, you break it down into manageable steps for us, and you're a blast!!! When I hear your voice come through the speaker it immediately puts a smile on my face, for real 😄💗🖌🖼
Thank you so much!
This is the best expose’ of the essence of watercolor that I’ve seen so far. Thank You for my liberation.
Oh my thank you for the amazing compliment!! XO
You ere a natural teacher! Love learning your techniques because you explain them so well and clearly.
I appreciate that!!
Hi, Kristy! I am just enjoying painting practice this morning, even though this video is a year old. Happy 2023!
Wonderful!
Dear Kristy, I just found U. I mean the new line of watercolor U. I have your coloring books that are lovely. I came across your page by accident, as am in a block, have not been painting for a month. Said I need a refesher course in flowers 🌺. And there you were doing a tutorial about how to paint 5 or 6 flowers step by step. I fell in love with your approach. I am a very loose watercolor artist. Not to good at times, not to bad at times, you no how it goes.But you dear Artist are doing a banger job.Now after all that my question is are you going to show us all the flowers, most of us are in need to refresh. Well I will not keep you any longer, as I have Subscribed, and must get back to Kristy,s Paintbrush, by Love.
I will definitely be teaching more flowers like this, not to worry!!
As a beginner you sure made it simple for me, thank you
You're very welcome!
What a Beautiful Channel, Beautiful Flowers, Beautiful SOUL !!!!!
Thanks so much!!!
I have recently come across your chanel and I have painted one flower per day. Some have been amazing, some have been utterly dogshit, all have forced me to paint more loosely and artistically. I feel grown, like I have grown a bit more as an artist and learned a massive load of new skills. Thank you so much!
Merci pour nous enseigner autant de choses. Je suis une fan de ce que vous faites. J’apprends avec toi et je m’amuse.🙂
Je suis si heureux que vous appreniez de moi et que vous vous amusiez!
Hi Kristy. You are so talented and I am addicted to your tutorials. Your techniques are amazing, your videos are teaching me so much! You are the best!!
Thank you!!!
Thank you for this. I'm a rank 81 year old beginner to be sure but I see here what is possible as I gain skills. I just love it and have been learning from U Tube videos the basics. At this point I need better brushes and paints to work up to paint some of these flowers.
So first your comment made me laugh out loud… appreciate that lol!! And second yes the better supplies will certainly give you more confidence!
You are an amazing teacher!Love!❤
Thank you!
Love your techniques. After trying your techniques, I see how alive my flowers and leaves are. Thank you so very much.
You are so welcome!
Thankyou for the simplicity of the flowers you are demonstrating, your methods are the easiest I have found so far.
Wow! Thank you :)
I love everthing that you teaching me I just to learn fast only. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
You are a fabulous teacher! I subscribed when I saw you literally hold your brush over the morning glory image to show me th3 stroking for each petal. Looking forward to learning lots.
THE BEST VIDEO SO FAR! FUN AND EDUCATIONAL!
Ohhh thank you!!!
I have just begun learning to paint with watercolor, and I feel there are so many rules, but I am truly enjoying the journey thus far! I was following along with your video and when you started painting the daffodils I was right there with you - up til you painted 7 flower petals on it. your photo example even shows 6 outer petals. I only know this as I was learning to paint daffodils years ago while I was painting rocks with a group. I always liked to look up photo examples for my subject, because I try to keep whatever it is, to be an accurate representation of the painting I paint. I just wanted to tell you about the six petal phenomenon that are daffodils. I will continue watching your videos, I enjoy your enthusiastic style of painting and teaching. Thank, you!!
I don’t pay attention to those type of details all the time. Still looks like a daffodil so I’m happy. I’ve found it so helpful on my journey to start with a reference photo for an overall vibe but I don’t continue looking back at the photo as I’ve learned this causes me stress and steals my joy.
It’s funny this video has been popular but also has garnered so much concern for how many daffodil petals I included and my non-morning glory type leaves. Interesting phenomena!
Thanks so much for watching!
carnations are my favorite flower and lilacs ❤
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I love the way you paint. I am blocking out time to paint a couple of times a week.
Wonderful!
You paint with such joy!
Thank you :)
Oh such fun because of your great teaching! Thank you for sharing your talent!
Glad you enjoy it!
I have never painted any flowers other than doodles with watercolor. And although some of them have turned out beautiful I so appreciate the specific tips for specific flowers. You are a great inspiring teacher and I thank you so much for sharing your time in a talent with us. You make me think I can actually do this!
I love all of these but my most favorite is the Larkspur with the " cats tongue "😁😃😊💗
Thanks!
I`ve only just found you! I am loving your tutorials thank you.
Welcome! Glad you’re here!!
Yes! I do want to paint with you! Brilliant!
Wahooo!!
I can't wait to try practicing painting 💐 flowers. Thank You for your patience.❤
You bet!!!
This was great fun to watch, Kristy!! I came out very ready to paint with purpose!!!! I love how you teach us to come back with another boost of color on our brush to gain less boredom on our paintings. Thank you SO MUCH!!
Carnations are my favorite flowers!!! I Just love them..
I love hearing the passion in your voice as you teach! I'm new to watercolours and have had a lot of fun watching/learning from you.
