Thank you! I'm a beginner who is very greatful to you for helping me find my joy. Unfortunately I'm still working through fear, but I have faith that it'll happen.
I feel the same way, even though I am a bit advanced. The more I watch and blindly jump in as soon as I have watched enough of her videos that tell me I can do this and try copy the video, the closer I get to actually doing that. Then I just have to take that final quantum leap and dive in. I usually tell myself to close my eyes, laugh because it might just come out better than with my eye actually open, open my eye and try follow the instructions. I have been very surprised at the results. Sometimes a bit too surprised, but then again I cannot expect to get it perfect all the time, ok at least way, way better than I expected I would ever get 😂. Seriously this channel has boosted my art because it jibes me the confidence to actually try things I refused to go beyond my comfort zone in. Thank you @paintcrush.
Oh, one day! I will be able to get your palette! Splurged on both brush sets, which I absolutely love and use every time I paint. Lovely flowers and techniques. ❤😊 God bless.
Most painters always show the front face viewpoint of flowers and leaves, so this is really helpful. I especially loved the "filler" cluster. Questions: What is double and triple brush loading? On the first bud, what is the green bulb shape at the bottom of the bud? I love the composition at the end!
I'm so impressed by your brush control. I've tried moving away from the metal part and it looks like I'm celebrating 4th of July early. 😂 It's practice time with no worries about the end product. I did go back and reviewed leaves also. Time to get tha brush wet. I want to practice these flowers, eucalyptus, and ferns. 🥰
At least you know how to capture your 4th of July moments now 😂. I am sure that your results look better than that, but I am inspired by your honesty and determination. The fear is a bit too strong for some elements, but I am hoping that the other elements will pull me through. 1 things for sure, I should be producing a few great 4th of July moments myself and I am not American 😂😂😂. ❤ your comment. Good luck.
Hey Kristy! I love your filler buds the best #6. Loving your videos, sometimes I watch and sometimes paint along. Always watch and research your classes. Keep them coming. Learning so much! Thanks Fran the N'awlins Girl
Kristy, this lesson is one of ur best. Allowing viewers to re watch ur brush handling is paramount. I found two tips in this lesson alone that I’ve struggled with. Been watching at least a year and seen everything you’ve ever done. Your my fave! Love ur happy spirit. You never fail to brighten my day and inspire!!!❤
you a amazing , I have a beginers set only 7 colors (in the UK ) and still not used it ......I love your teaching it is really fun and free, you make me laugh too .I love your fillers you make it look so easy . xxxxx Happy Joy Painting xxx
Hi Kristy! I purchased your brushes anddk I not only live them and cherish them I am protective of them, especially when my cat jumps up exploring and wanting attention! She has been known to try and nibble my brushes in the past. The cute little bag they arrived in was so adorable and is a very personal touch! Thank you so look much for demonstrating them also. The cats tongue is my fave for detailing thick or thin and holds an unbelievable amount of water! The dager brushes enables me to create the most believable leaves... I just couldn't understand why they were so reasonably priced for the value of your product! They are really inspiring my creativity. BTW, I also bought Paul tube a paints same time so there could soon be a manifestation of a masterpiece,LOL😍
Wow, this video was SO helpful in learning how to use the dagger brush! It was so helpful seeing it done slowly, first in real time and then each stroke explained. Now I've got to get your dagger brush since it doesn't seem to be available just like yours as fas as the length of the curved side vs the pointed side.
Thank you for sharing so much important info with us! I'm super excited because after hundreds of practice brush strokes, I figured out my problem with the dagger,,,I never had enough paint on it!! Lots of water is great as long as you have enough pigment,,,thanks to you and your loaded brush I've made a big step!! 🎉😂❤
I so loved seeing the strokes repeating without having to replay the whole video several times. I will watch several times anyway, but it is so helpful. I can't wait to try these out. Thank you for guiding us to the next videos.
thank you for the super easy to follow vid! your work is wonderful 🎉🎉 ok, strange but 100% positive- i have this burning need to tell you that your instruction style reminds me of motivational exercise vids. 4:25, it's adorable 🥰🥰
Just a note here…not sure you will see it….but omg….I have been on the hunt for vintage watercolor tins…….they are not so easy to find…got a couple from eBay….but I have scoured every antique store in a 100 mile radius….nothing!
This just made all the puzzle pieces SNAP together!! OMGoodness Kristy thanks for making it so simple to understand!! I feel like a true artist as my mind is racing and flooding with ideas and designs for my next painting that I can't get out fast enough...and wouldn't you know its ti.e for bed...or is it? ❤🎉🤩
@KristyRice I actually stayed up after my shower and got through half of a 5 x 7 painting. It felt so effortless and free as I felt like I have all the tools to make decisions on my own! Granted this morning my husband had some critiques but I don't always feel he understands watercolor and just how things come together so I disagreed with his suggestions as I feel he wants things to be same same and more realistic than I want to paint! I'm working on finishing it up this morning and will tag you on IG when I'm done. You are truly an amazingly talented person with a heart of gold to share all your tips and tricks with us! If it weren't for RUclips and artists like you it's safe to say I wouldn't be no where near the artists I am now as I wouldn't have access to any instructors the learn the basic from and being a visual learner it's so important!! Thank you so much!! 💓
@@creeksidehomeschoolersWish we could show pictures in the comments so you could share! Kristy and other youtubers have really helped my art too. My husband seems to be similar to yours. We could probably be friends. 😂 I see your screen name. I also am starting to homeschool this year and am nervous.
You are an amazing teacher - thank you, you give me confidence to get started! I have liked and subscribed and look forward to learning with you. Sending love and thanks from Africa🧡🌍
Wow!! 😱 Brain exploded!! 🤯 From the few videos I've watched, I think the dagger is your favorite? Didn't know there was such a thing other than sword types on video games before! 😳 😂
Okay, I want that brush. Of course, you make all brushes look easy. Still… I want to hang out with you because I bet you’re a lot of fun. Your videos are some of my favorites, AND you’re a talented artist!! Thank you. ❤
I love this video. It promises the holy grail to composition or so I hope 😊. The three quarter view, sorry I am completely lost. If you could paint it with a reference. I love it when you use an actual real, live flower in your videos, but I would also appreciate a few picture examples in this case. The others I am more confident about. I cannot wait to try this out. I am quite confident that I can get the hang of most of the elements now that you have broken them down so beautifully. Thank you.
@KristyRice planning on that. You are 1 of the only watercolour RUclipsrs who totally allow and encourage and are unthreatened by copying on the way to learning and perfecting. You understand that even if we copy 100 percent, you can tell yours from ours because they are vastly different, mainly because of your insane talent and experience and years of practice.
I have a lot of trouble pulling my stems down, and getting a nice even , flowing line. However, I’m much better pulling up. Is this just a matter of practice? Probably! You make everything look easy!
I started my watercolor journey. I purchased cheap brushes. I need an opinion. Do you think more expensive brushes work better. The cheap ones are becoming challenging. I may have to buy special brushes. I love your videos.
So, I maybe said that I got this set of travel brushes. Now, I’ve been watching your video on slow speed, and practicing the brush strokes. I have an entire page of flowers, with mixed results, but I’m having a great time. When you got to the 3/4 view, I had a hard time following, so I decided to look for a photo. Kristi, these dagger brushes are the best ever for loose florals! I got some beautiful results!! I really admire how Jillian Boone uses a flat brush, but I cannot master it. I like a filbert, but I find it hard to get some of the different edges. This, however, is going to be my go-to brush for flowers. I absolutely love it!! These are synthetic brushes, and they hold and release the paint so nicely. It’s a wonderful set. ❤️
The dainty filler is my fav. The one I like least perhaps because you went in the green and blue for a bud was the 2nd bud or 5th one. I paused go where you are about to bring it altogether. So I am about convinced besides your brushes here I also want to purchase your Pallet! ❤❤❤ A TAD EXCITED ❤❤❤ THANKS, Kristy!! 😊😊😊
I am new to painting all together. I’ve listen to several instructional videos Kristy you are the best for me ,your explanations are super easy to understand I will be purchasing some brushes and paint before fall. I’m 75 years young and always wanted to paint. Thank you for giving me the confidence that I can do this.
Fillers are still my favorite to look at. I know all the big beautiful flowers are gorgeous but I'm a filler flower fairy girl, entire page of filler patterns I love the most. Thank you for another great video once again Artist Kristy Rice A lot of fun learning new stuff.
Merci j'adore cette vidéo où l'on voit de quelle façon se place le côté incurvé du pinceau j'avais du mal à voir sur d'autres tuto ou vous nous expliquiez comment utiliser ce pinceau et je n y arrivais pas. Là je pense que ça devrait aller. J ai déjà fait d énormes progrès rapidement grâce à vous.❤
If I can put my two cents in - I use n ampersand board to support the taped down paper for either watercolor or acrylics. To paint watercolor on canvas you’ll need to use a watercolor ground on it. For acrylics use a canvas with a gesso on it.

The top view and the side view.
My favorite is the buds!

You got this!
Thank you for this! I absolutely love how you did this tutorial. 👩🍳 💋

Dagger is def my favorite!!

My brain goes more towards botanical painting vs loose paint but I still learn from you. Plus you’re so adorable.
I’m glad the skills I’m teaching still apply!
Kristy! You Spoil us, thank you so much for breaking this down, you're an angel!
You're so welcome!
Love watching how you paint.
What kind of brushes that you use. Where can I buy them?
I use my own two brush sets! Available on Amazon :) See description
Very beautiful my dear friend and artist
Thank you! Cheers!
I love the filler. It’s super fun to practice. The second buds I use as berries.
Yes so easy to transition to berries for sure!!
Great lesson! I hope I can remember everything!
You can!!
This is an amazing tutorial, Kristy!! Thank you!
You’re welcome!!
There should not be an apostrophe in "others" if you want to keep it professional.
Thanks fixed!
Okay, I want that brush. Of course, you make all brushes look easy. Still…

Which canvas, board or panel do you recommend for watercolor art, fluid acrylic and acrylic inks?
If I can put my two cents in - I use n ampersand board to support the taped down paper for either watercolor or acrylics. To paint watercolor on canvas you’ll need to use a watercolor ground on it. For acrylics use a canvas with a gesso on it.
Thank you for sharing your passion.
