The vibrant, simple look of lemons are not only refreshing, but are also great for the practice of being more carefree with your art and simply enjoying the process. Leaving white space is essential in this project for creating highlights! Tutorial brought to you by Sarah Cray and Let's Make Art.
I love that you talk about different things while you paint. I thought that I wasn't going to watch the whole video while painting because it was too long, but you guys talking and joking around made it really fun and easy to watch. Thanks for the tutorial, it was really good.
Thank you! That feedback is so helpful
I smile almost the whole time while I'm watching. Really feel like we're hanging out. Haha
Your banter is charming and makes it feel more comfortable and included in the experience. Love you guys!
❤ love this. Makes me happy!
I love the chatting too.
i love that you talk throughout the video. I have a hard time keeping up with other videos. It feels like I am actually in a class with a teacher. I also love the encouragement throughout, "dont compare your art to others," "your value is not defined by the end product", "if you are a beginner, be kind to yourself." I got discouraged quite a bit and it motivated me to finish. I look forward to continue to learn more!
You've got this! Don't let your inner critic get you down, you will find that often it will turn out better than you expect.
So pretty !!
Thanks for the part where you tell us you got a little scared to add the slice, and talking through it. Your optimism and your "go with it" approach has made painting so wonderful!
Hahah that's the fun of painting together! It's important to push through the nervousness and enjoy the process. Thanks for joining us Jennifer!
Love the oath! That’s pretty special. “The joy of creating” 💛💛💛
I love how you talk about all sorts of things while you paint. I find it gives me this feeling of painting with a friend rather than watching a tutorial plus it makes it go a bit slower on the painting. The videos that just play the actual tutorial quickly and speed through the drying and some of the slower steps feel rushed.
I'm sitting here cracking up 🤣 Just found this channel and y'all are hilariously in addition to the great art
Glad you enjoy it! Welcome!!!
I just discovered this channel and am really enjoying it. I don't generally do watercolor, instead, I do cookie decorating and sometimes paint on cookies. Food color gel acts a lot like watercolor and watching your videos is helping me understand how to make my cookies look better.
That is awesome! We would love to see your work sometime. Being fans of snacks and anything sweet we would LOVE it.
This is my first project with my first watercolor art box. Really enjoyed the tutorial, learned a lot and ready to get going! Thanks for making this fun 😀. Tutorials, no matter how interested I am, make me fall asleep so this was a refreshing change. Yay!
Keenan and Sarah are a fun duo, aren't they? Happy to have you Jolene!
I adore these tutorials and the oath is my most favorite thing ever. I have to constantly remind myself not to judge myself.
You guys always make me laugh! I'm so glad I found Let's Make Art!
Same!!!
Just found this channel and I live it. You and Keenan have the best conversations and I can just watch it for fun or have it on in the background while I do something creative , not even painting. I think I’m gonna do the box subscription cuz I love you guys so much. Keep me coming!
Glad you enjoy it!
I'm one that adores your banter! You guys crack me up! This was a great lesson, Sarah. They are all good, but I feel like a learned a lot on this one. Thanks so much! And I LOVE Citrus fruits, to eat and to look at. So bright and colorful!
It's so refreshing this time of year! And thanks for hanging with us, we get a bit silly sometimes ;)
thank you i always wanted to paint this thank you
Glad I could help!
OH my gosh. I loved the value lesson on value using water or using another color.
Value is such an important part of working with watercolor, so glad it's making sense for you!
Thanks for this tutorial. I loved painting these lemons
Thanks for the laughs Sarah & Keenan:)
I think that this might be my favorite one in the whole month 😁😁😁
Isn't it so refreshing in these cold months!? So glad you enjoyed it!
Agree! Bright and cheerful!
I finally mastered the jelly fish top in my lemon slices!!!! Thanks for tutorial. I love this subscription to fun!!
So glad you're painting along with us!
This is great😍 Thank you for making it so simple and easy to do.
Glad it was helpful!
So beautiful congrats!
I love this. I think I have enjoyed all your citrus projects so far. I want to try it again but do the leaves last because I loved painting the slices and wish I had more room for more slices (or I just need to do the citrus slice project again because its in my top 10 favorite of the over 100 of your projects I have painted). And I love the banter between you and Keenan. It makes me feel like I am painting with friends.
We love hearing that you enjoy our citrus projects, they really are so fun to paint. Thanks for joining us, we totally agree that painting together should feel like you're painting with your friends.
Love this!!!!
my lemons turned out lovely, thank you!

I just discovered Chocolate Pecan pie at Whole Foods this year. You can order them any time... just like cakes. The sister in-law's pie may have come from there :)
Awesome 👍👍👍
I love how you have so much fun together whole recording! 😁😍
Any chance you would make your worksheets available to purchase by themselves for each tutorial (instead of subscribing to the whole box)?
Hey Jay! You can download the outlines on the kit page here! www.letsmakeart.com/products/lemons-watercolor-kit
Always happiness
Suggestion, Can you could angle the camera so we can see how you are working your brush with water, paint and mixing colors? In this video we had a good view of what your were painting and your printed visual. Having said that, I really love the way you teach! Keep it up!
Hey Dottie! We will let Keenan know and see what he can make happen.
I lost count of the number of composition lessons in this...thank you LMA but quick question? i recently began painting with a group and I’ve noticed some looks when I rattle my brush in the jar or tell my paint to “come along little fella.” should I be concerned? anxious artist.
As long as the paint does not talk back you should be just fine.
You crack me up! 😹
@@LetsMakeArt LOL!
I love this comment and the reply. I rattle my paintbrush in the jar too. Is that a no-no? Oops! 😆😆
Just discovered your channel and love your teaching style! You make this all feel non-intimidating and the banter with your husband is adorable- like the Nick and Nora Charles of watercolor paint tutorials. Also, was that quote from Event Horizon?👀
Thank you for that!
you have an Ed McMahon!!!!
SOS!!!!! I just bought the Master Touch 26 color watercolor kit. Any suggestions on what I use for sea blue? I’m a beginner 🥺🥺🥺
And now Keenan we need Hillary's Chocolate pecan pie recipe ;) can you get that for us?
We'll see if he can make that public ;)
I know you already did the rainbow unicorn, but i was wondering if you could do another horse maybe a chestnut or a bay this time
We'll pass this suggestion along!
@@LetsMakeArt Thanks!
Hi! Just came across your channel. Love it! What brand of watercolor paints do you use? Thank you.
They are our own brand: Dandelion Paint co.
My paint is sparkly! Is that normal ? Also how do I get my lines to not bleed. They look good when I’m painting then when I come back later they’ve all gotten fuzzy
Fuzzy paint can be caused by too much pigment on your brush. Try using a little more water on your brush. When you are trying to get very dark values you can also lay the water down first on the paper and then add the paint to it. Which paint are you referring to being sparkly?
Let's Make Art my whole painting has reflects in the paint. It’s subtle but I can see it when I move the paper back and forth. I like it just didn’t no if it was intentional
I had the same issue. My daughter noticed the sparkle and my painting turned out fuzzy too
"Do you see" is from Red Dragon. It drove me crazy after you said it and I had to google it. 🤪
Ok so... completely new to this... she is using paint brushes that do not come in the kits and it is not clear at all what type of paint brushes I need to buy to get started. If possible it would be helpful if you could simply list them in the text info. Thank you.
Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. Sarah uses a Round 2 and a Round 6 for almost all of our kits. On the ones she introduces new brushes she will make a point to say that those two brushes could also work. We do offer the brushes if you need them with a bundle pack of both brushes and the Butcher Tray like Sarah uses to mix her paint-or brushes may also be purchased separately if needed.
🤣😬❤️😉
I wish I could see how she is getting the paint in her brush, instead of just showing how she's painting the leaves.
Hey Danny! You can always watch Sarah's beginner videos for more clarification on how she approaches paint, but it's also something that just takes time and practice. Wishing you luck! www.letsmakeart.com/pages/learn-watercolor
