How to Paint a Watercolor Iris
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to paint a watercolor iris in my loose watercolor floral style. It's a little faster than other styles of watercolor but actually can be harder to work through because of the high dependance on the elements and principles of design.

My favorite Iris on here . This is an example of perfection for most detailed painting. I truly love your Iris . Thanking you and most appreciative.
I'm so glad you liked it! I hope to feature another loose flower tutorial soon-let me know if you want to see anything specific!
Meditation 🙂 It's absolutely beautiful!!!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, I have been struggling with Iris for so long. You whammed it to me in just a couple of strokes.
Oh I’m so glad it helped! I’d love to see how your version turns out!
I love irises and grow them! This a very beautiful painting! Thank you!
I love irises too! Mine aren’t growing that well lately so I need to give them some more love!
This was the best iris tutorial I have seen . It was so helpful . I appreciated the looser style . Thank you .
Oh yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it-thank you for taking the time to encourage me!
This was so helpful. I love the Iris. I tried one a year ago and it looked like a sea creature or amoeba. Great tutorial in real time!
They are such a funny shape when you really look at it, aren’t they?! Haha! I am so glad this helped and I hope that your next attempt at painting an iris is more successful
Lovely!💜
Thank you so much, Karen! So glad you enjoyed jt
I have never been able to paint an iris. Great tutorial! Thank you!
We’re you able to mimic it?! So glad you enjoyed the video 🥰
Thank you for the tutorial. It's absolutely beautiful.
So glad it was helpful!! Thank you for taking a moment to encourage me 💕
The iris flower is exquisite. Thank you from a new watercolor artist. Your explanation of how to do front part and back petals was very helpful.
Thank you so much! I’m glad it was helpful-if you’re just starting out with loose watercolor styles (like this), this video might help give you a few quick tips without getting overwhelming: ruclips.net/video/ogFFXygdI04/видео.html
Great tutorial for the Iris. I will try this again with the Iris I drew from your free floral drawing challenge. I want to try these brushes as well. I have one. My other brushes don't seem to give the same results. They are nice brushes, but maybe they are getting old and haven't been used for a long time. I can't wait to try my own composition. You are amazingly talented. Thanks for this insight and inspiration.
I can’t wait to see how your irises turn out!
So glad I found your channel!! This is a great tutorial and I can't wait to try it out!
Oh yay! I’m so glad you liked it and that we can be friends on this artistic journey! Let me know how the painting goes when you give it a try ☺️☺️☺️
Wow, that came out really pretty! I’ve never had that type of iris, but I think that will be easier to paint than bearded irises!!!! Gorgeous. Thank you!!!
So glad you enjoyed it!

Hi........Just found you but I have to ask this almost before watching the demo. How did you find/get a plastic palette to mix paint so well without beading up??? Your puddles look like they were created on a porcelain palette. Perfect. Did you treat it in some way before painting? I have never seen a plastic palette work so well even after years of use. Please share.........Now I get to watch you paint. Thanks so much!
Judith, if you apply a thin coat of toothpaste and rub it in well with your finger and then remove the exves with a clean tissue or cloth it will prevent your paints from beading. I don't recommend scrubbing it with sand paper nor the scratchy side of a kitchen sponge. I tried that and the paint will settle and dry in the scratches you made.
Hi Judith! I used a little bit of dish soap and a soft towel. Same idea as the toothpaste that Martha mentioned-there is a residue that you want to get rid of that causes the beading. But if porcelain works for you, definitely use that and avoid the headache 😉
@@katrinacrouch Thanks so much I'll try it. But I do have the porcelain slated ten well that works well and takes up less space.
@@marthapreston2929 Toothpaste......I'll give that a shot. I just discovered that my small 39 well metal travel palette does the same. It beads up. so, I'll use it there as well.
How did you finish it?
I don’t think I did anything after those couple strokes! If you were to see the finished piece now it looks the same :). Don’t worry, I didn’t hold back on you, hah!
@@katrinacrouch i think they probably mean finishing process - varnish, framing, etc :)
@@coloredpencils01 Oh, hahah! Thank you!
I didn’t do anything else. I think it’s still in the drawer next to me! I don’t varnish watercolors. A few people do, but if you are using quality watercolor paints and cotton paper then you don’t have to worry about fading very much
Is there sound?
Yes there is sound-sometimes RUclips automatically mutes videos when you pull them up and you have to manually turn up the volume. Sorry for the trouble!
@@katrinacrouch do you have a reference photo for this wonderful iris painting. I’ve been doing watercolor for about five years, but I have not done many flowers and I really enjoyed your technique.
@@pattitaylor7642 I don't have a specific photo, no! I'm sorry-for my looser paintings, I often look at a bunch of different pictures so I can understand the structure and allow the paint to flow a little more natural while still (hopefully) remaining largely accurate to the original anatomy of the plant. If you google or search Pinterest for "bearded iris", I'm sure similar images will come up!
Thanks so much for your reply. I did as you suggested for my class this morning and taught your wonderful method to a group of seniors in an independent living facility. They did a great job and were thrilled with the results. I look forward to following you and your painting.
Oh that’s wonderful! I’m so glad they enjoyed it
