  • This Yarn Ball tutorial is quite a random one as it was a request and I've never painted them before. I was interested in breaking the process down and at the same time, there's some coziness related to knitting and this subject in general so I decided to give this a go. Hope you guys enjoyed this one :D

    What? Thank you for fulfilling my request. I'm over the moon 🌝. I knit and I'd like to sketch out things I want to knit but I don't know how to render knit texture. I know that producing videos of this quality takes so so much time, so I've thought a lot about whom to lodge my request to. And I was under the impression that many of your viewers are crafters or friends with crafters and probably yearning for the same tutorial topic as I. So there I went. 🫡. Again, you have my gratitude.

    What a wonderful surprise, to have just happened upon your site today!!! I have been following several other watercolor artists and working very hard towards learning the techniques and fine nuances of this fine format of art. After several decades of putting my paintbrushes away, raising my family and working on my career, retirement and a myriad of health problems left me with too much time and too little fun. In my younger days, I studied art and painted only in oils. Your tutorials (I have only been fortunate to have seen two, so far) are absolutely wonderful! And this particular one is so, so gosh darn timely! Both my daughter and I love to knit. As a matter of fact, we just spent yesterday afternoon at our local Hobby Lobby shopping for both yarn (for her) and painting supplies (for me). I have been wanting to paint something for her as a special gift and I can't think of anything better than this lovely picture. It is even done in her favorite colors!! (I found you when I was looking for Christmas card tutorials and can't wait to paint the string of lights...it is amazing!). You are such an inspirational teacher and an exquisite artist!

  • @ChristinaTodd1970
    @ChristinaTodd1970 Год назад

    This was deceptively hard! Lol. My tip is to watch the whole thing first then paint. My first yarn ball is stiff and dumb and unfortunately it’s the biggest ball. My other two look pretty good. I’ll probably go over the yarn balls with gouache to fix the stiffness and lame lines that make no sense. But thanks Nia, your turned out beautifully.
