      There’s no drawing for this one. I supplied the drawings, a little bit later on in my RUclips journey. However, it is a fairly simple shape, so it should be relatively easy to draw.

    Hi! I just found your channel and am new to watercolor. I've been trying all kinds of different exercises and fell in love with using a tiny brush. I thought I was just being chicken to use the bigger ones. LOL They say your style finds you... maybe mine is detailed and tight. ??? I love that you are self taught. That tells me that what you show is tried and true. I love your paintings!! I think something I struggle with personally is knowing when to add more. My stop point is about halfway of yours... then I get lost and don't know what to do next. Looking forward to watching your tutorials and trying your exercises. Your paintings are gorgeous!

    You're more than half way through 2021, and I'm just popping in. I wondered if you would consider three tutorials that would make up a triptych, each flower of similar size. I have three children and would love to paint these items for each for Christmas. Perhaps too late for this year, however. I just finished and posted your lovely magnolia leaf. If only one flower to choose, I would love a tutorial on a vibrant geranium. Thanks much, can't wait to get started on this leaf and this week's tutorial, the Moonglow anemone. Cheers.

    Love this tutorial. You made things look so simple. It’s beautiful and very realistic. I wonder if you have made a tutorial of a fall leaf that’s getting dry. You mentioned buying that brush at Jerry’s. Love the point. And you are using hot pressed watercolor paper. May I ask when do you use hot pressed and cold pressed paper? Thanks for this tutorial.

    • @raecampbellsstudio
      @raecampbellsstudio  3 года назад

      Thank you. I think it’s hot pressed paper. this video is about a year old now and I prefer to use coldpressed watercolour paper as well as mixed media paper. I have a dry leaf coming out in a few weeks time so be sure to subscribe and hit the bell that way you’ll be notified and won’t miss it regarding hot Pressed or coldpressed, it is probably personal preference although most botanical artists prefer to use hot press paper because they think it gives a finer detail. However, I would argue that point because I like the way cold press paper allows you to build layers and achieve a depth of colour that simply cannot be achieved on cold pressed without to go in muddy, at least the way I paint LOL

    Hi Helen! When you applied the water glazes at around 6.31, how much water would you say was on your brush? I'm up to this stage right now, and although you mentioned being nervous about it, I'm nervous about it--probably because so far, it looks really good! Cheers!

    • @raecampbellsstudio
      @raecampbellsstudio  Год назад

      Hi Michael. Lots. Pick up as much water the more the better BUT use a light touch and make sure the paint is totally dry before you do. The water forms a sort of barrier over the paint so you don’t scratch the paper. Light touch and try not to move the paint too much. Let me know how you get on
