I was really impressed when you offered to help people individually with their color options. I don’t know any other youtubers who would do something like that. It’s such a kind and generous thing to do.
It’s my absolute pleasure. I want people to paint and sometimes they may not have that colour and everyone can join in 😀
Totally agree
Agreed !00%!!!
Thank you so much for making this wonderful tutorial and sharing it on RUclips. I’m recently disabled from a spinal injury and now on a very tiny fixed income. Your free lessons are a true gift for me. I can get lost in painting and forget about the world while I paint along. ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear about your injury but glad you are finding a little pleasure in the tutorials xxx
@BaldwinLeatherWorks I am so sorry about your injury. I also have a spinal injury though mine is old and they rebuilt what was left with lots of metal....then other things come along....and I am absolutely with you on being able to lose yourself in art!! And being SO thankful for people like Helen that give such beautiful instruction for the days I'm able to do things, and such awesome inspiration in these videos that keep me going through the days that aren't so good...keeps me excited and always looking forward to those moments when I can try some of these :) I hope you're feeling ok, as ok as possible of course! And are able to play with your paints as often as you can...they definitely make things better :)
Sorry for gong through hard time,huge changes in life..Painting is best kind a therapy for soul...
Today there are Many life changing therapies that may help you recover mobility and heal.Some time ago red about guy who was paralysed from neck down for over decade,he was given some kind a stem cell therapy,injections in spinal cord and he not just started to feel body but is recovering,after more than decade in bed Ofcourse recovery will take years and maybe he never will be the same as he was before,but still,from laying down all the time,he’s doing loads of physio therapies and was standin g up,holding his body weight on arms and relearning to walk..Well,just wish you all the best and hope one day you’ll be back on you’re 🐾 Please stay strong and don’t lose hope ever and just keep painting meanwhile,learn,enjoy and may it become you’re income booster. 💐
@@ligaskirbauska8652 thank you so much for your sweet words :)
I'm very thankful that I'm not constantly stuck laying down....I just don't always have the ability to be up enough to stand too much and the nerves in my neck are getting crushed so losing use of my arms and hands...but, finally insurance approved a difficult surgery to remove arthritis and scar tissue build up, a rib and several muscles that are hopefully part of the cause and I'll hopefully get a bit better use...a lot can go wrong with it so trying my right side first...if it helps, awesome, and I'll try to get insurance to cover the left side...gotta love insurance 🙄, and if it doesn't help, then I won't, and I'll just learn new ways to get things done and try to paint when I can and yes, it would be wonderful to one day maybe sell something, cards or something, even to just pay for a tube of paint here or there so my sweet husband doesn't have to, because he will even though I know we can't afford it...because he knows what art does for me :) but, if not, thats ok too...I've had people ask to buy sets of them, but I get embarrassed and just give them to them...and that makes me happy too, making people happy...so, either way, it all works out :)
My lower half is as good as I'll get it...but...its all ok!! I absolutely know it could be so much worse, I lost a dear friend in the accident that started all this off over 30yrs ago, hence the ptsd, well, that part of of the cause became it was real bad...but...anyway....I just meant that I know there are so many that have things SO much worse so I'm sorry if I sounded like a baby :/ I lost my little parrot of 25yrs last weekend so a bit raw....but I'm very thankful for what I do have and so thankful for being able to watch and learn on here and meet amazing people like you :)
I hope you are doing ok and have a wonderful rest of the weekend!!
Thank you again for your kind words!! Truly appreciated!!🥰
This channel is a WEALTH of knowledge, and helps to make days where we only have a few spoons brighter and more playful.
I am. I hope you would introduce more advanced tutorials beside easy ones. The easy ones matter a lot to me too because they nurture my love for painting and help me to train gradually. I do appreciate your tutorials and teaching ability a lot, Rae.
Thank you. Keep in mind that the RUclips tutorials are free. The more in-depth ones are over on Patreon but are of course paid for.
I LOVE how you always encourage people to use what they have so that, if they wanted to, they could sit down right then and paint with you!
Thank you very much x
loved the tip of a "little puddle of water" in your pallet - makes so much sense!
Thank you 😊
Thank you Helen for your great feedback! I could watch you paint for hours. 😍 We really are thrilled to have you as a true fan of our supplies. :) For anyone reading, we are a very young brand founded by an artist and focusing on making art accessible through affordable quality products and educational content. Any questions, let us know. Thank you for reading this! :)) - Beatrice
Thank you Beatrice x
You have to be one of the kindest RUclips creators doing watercolor tutorials. I appreciate you so much! I know others do as well. I haven’t signed up with anyone to join patreon but I think that might change. I love the way you teach. Thank you for sharing your talent. ❤ love from Texas
Thank you so much for your kind words x
Helen, you do a great job
Thank you
That colour palette though!!! I LOVE it so much!! Well done Helen, you always impress me!!! 👏👏👏❤️❤️👏🤗🤗👍👍
I love the colours. Thank you so much Dr Bee 😀😘
Really high caliber tutorial ! I often use these techniques. Lovely music too ❤️
Aww thank you 😊
My results were 99.9%similar oh my God!!!! You truly brought up my confidence!! Subbed to your channel 🥰
Wow. Thank you
@@helencampbell so sweet of you to reply 🥺❣️
This is so strange to find somebody who also uses and appreciates Mungyo watercolours. Here they are not considered to be 'real watercolours' but they are some of my favourite paints.
They are amazing. A student of mine recommended them. They are wonderful
I like the way You tell people to just use what they have if they don’t have what you have. This was very important to me because I used to feel like I couldn’t do something because I didn’t have exactly what I needed.
Thank you. Yes it’s important to use what you already have. Quiet apart from the expense of buying new, it gets you used to adapting the colours you have and helps get to know how they react xx
WOW - this watercolour painting just "pops' off the page - wonderful warm commentary full of really friendly helpful advice - nothing less than fantastic tutorial - thank you Helen
Thank you very much 😀🌸
Excellent tutorial! After watching your tutorial I am looking forward to try and paint again using water colour. The last time I used water colour is 17 years ago and the water colour was a student version.
Thank you. I’m so glad you found it useful x
How wonderful! I learned so much 😊
Thank you 🌸🥰
Tysm! This truly inspired me. All the other videos I’ve watched haven’t really been inspiring and it’s just a timelapse, but with you I really felt like I could understand everything. Amazing art! ❤️❤️
Aww thank you 😊
love the clarity,, you are great!
Thank you
Thank you, Helen. I have been unmotivated for close to a year now. This video was so nice that I decided to attempt it. I even purchased the brushes on Amazon... as if I needed more brushes. Thank you again so another wonderful tutorial.
Thank you Lori. Have you joined our Facebook group?
Zen brushes have been around a long time. I have two I found in my dad's paintbox after he passed away. I reach for them often. They are over 20 years old. Unfortunately I didn't start learning to paint until I was 60. Now I want to live as log as possible just to learn more about painting and progress as much as I can. Maybe 30 more years would be better.😉😍
It’s a lovely thing to learn. Jump in and have fun with it. We have lots of tutorials here on our channel 😀😘
Fantastic teacher 👍
Thank you! 😃
Gracias por enseñarnos, Bendiciones
Definitely subbing. Been practicing at it for a year and often feel like I’m making no progress, so much that I branched out to other mediums that I am doing well at, I ADORE oil pastels to a point that I didn’t think I would 😂 but watercolor is something I want to master.
Thank you. Hopefully you’ll find these tutorials helpful. Have you joined our Facebook group?
I just subscribed, and am excited about what I’ve seen so far. I’m new to watercolor and love it so much! Your paintings are beautiful, and I actually understand what you’re showing and saying. Thank you
Thank you very much
What a beautiful work of art … layering is really the key to well contrasted watercolors and you master it !!! Thanks for sharing it with us 🙏🏻🙏🏻💕
Thank you Chantal. My pleasure
This was absolutely riveting. So beautiful thank you so much for showing how we can do this. I love all your tutorials and this was stunning.
Thank you so much x
That’s beautiful 💕🌸
Thank you
Very impressive I am watching and now I'll try out
Thank you
Thank you so much. I will certainly try this ❤
My pleasure. X
🎉🎉🎉 thank u for a cool step by step video, thank u
My pleasure. Glad you like it
Love this
Thank you Cat
Helen, thank you. Serious watercolur, painting indeed. Watching each brush stroke for the veins made this botanical painting sing. Building up paint slowly, is what I need to work on.
Thank you Annie x
This video has given me an enormous amount of inspiration. I only began watercolour a few months ago and have been looking at countless beginner classes. Learning all thee basic techniques has, of course, been absolutely critical, but those tutorials focus very often on quite broad subjects (skies, leaves, abstracts) in two-to-three colours. This video of yours, with all of the beautiful details and colours, made me realise that those introductory classes left me in one 'stuck' place. Since watching this video, I've decided to tackle my first detailed subject with more nuanced colouring. (I've started work on a dodo!) So this video has really lifted me out of those crucial but (for me) pretty boring basics - thank you so much.
Hi Nathan. Thank you so much. My mission is to make art accessible to everyone. I have over 100 other tutorials as well as new videos every Tuesday so you may want to subscribe so that you don’t miss any. Once again, thank you for your kind comments
What a blessing you are to us all. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift. xx
Thank you Jodi x
This is one of my favorite paintings you've created lately. It's so beautiful and I've really enjoyed seeing everyone who has posted on the Facebook group who has tried this painting. The results have been stunning. I just watched through, hopefully I can find time to make an attempt at this one soon!
Thank you so much 😊
This truly is gorgeous!! The veins make it perfect! Give it beautiful movement, especially that center, more purple one..just beautiful!!
Thank you very much. Hope you are well x
@@helencampbell thank you :) you as well!!!🥰
This was so inspiring! This is the first watercolor tutorial I’ve watched on RUclips that showed the process in this way. Makes complete sense now. I joined your Patreon and am excited to start learning more! Thank you for taking the time to create such valuable content!
Thank you very much for your lovely words and for joining Patreon xx
Pretty botanical leaves with such softness of colors. Looks like fun to do. Thanking you
Thank you very much
Totally unrelated to the topic but I couldn’t help noticing your ring (the big one) 😍 I love it! Oh, amazing video as well 👌⭐️
Thank you. I bought it in a little shop in Spain x
soooooo much fun to see you in action iam new to water colou
Thank you
Gorgeous, can’t wait to paint this. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents!
Thank you Robin
Really pretty painting of maple tree helicopter seeds!
Thank you. Glad you liked it
Such dreamy colours building up. Gorgeous.
Thank you Margaret
Thanks very much Helen, I really enjoyed it and I'm going to have a look at your Patreon channel. XX
Thank you David. Glad you enjoyed it
This is just beautiful. First time I've watched your channel. It is mesmerizing to watch you paint, and I love the subject! Look forward to watching more.
Thank you Janina. I appreciate your kind words
GORGEOUS, I love Botanical Art, the color palette you used and your voice and accent are so calming!❤️❤️❤️🥰
Thank you Aida 😀
Absolutely glorious! I bought VanDyke brown long ago and didn’t like how it reacted….maybe I’ll give it another try….
Hi that’s wonderful. Let me know how you get on
I am so so happy to have found your amazing tutorials tonight and cannot wait to start some
Thank you x
I would like to see you paint some spring flowers; daffodils, snowdrops, grape hyacinths, poppies. Thank you for the video.
Thank you. We do have snowdrops. Here’s the link

This is a tremendously helpful video. Your generous spirit is sincerely appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you Jane
Got here via Ingrid Blackburn new subbie straight away 😊
Aw thank you so much xx
Brilliant tip having the water on the palette
Thank you. It really does make a difference 😀
Thank you, Helen! What a beautiful art work! I love it so much!
Thank you very much
Bravo de France 🇫🇷 It’s so beautiful ! I just subscribed 😍
Thank you very much x
This would be so pretty for tone on tone values on a card set,black brown,grey and full colored and you have an awesome giftset. If you like it slightly more modern or your paper won't hold the layering you can always use a micron pen for waterproof outline. This is great fun for practise, I will have me a go at it. It is a great one for clean and simple winter thank you's.
Thank you. Great idea
I have watched tons of videos until I came upon your channel. You are an excellent instructor. Love the tip about the little puddle of water - why did I never think of that. :) I am so glad that I have found your channel. You gave clear instructions which are easy to follow and I am so inspired to try all your tutorials. I love your voice too. Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills. You have just encouraged me to be excited about watercolor again.
Awww thank you xxx
You are a superb teacher! Thank you for this video!
Thank you very much
You are truly a genius. Thank you so much for the tutorial and all the tips. ❤️
Thank you very much
Just found you and I am thrilled. I've been in a rut. Detailed/realistic botanicals are my love but I'm having a hard time finding tutorials. I will definitely be joining your Patreon and the Facebook channel.
Thank you so much Erica 😀
I’m very new to your channel and I’m having fun binge watching your wonderful tutorials. I appreciate your teaching style and generosity in sharing your knowledge and talent with all of us. Thank you 🙏 😊
That’s very kind of you. Thank you very much 🌸
Thank you so much for your tutorials. It's very inspiring!
Thank you very much
Helen, that is absolutely gorgeous! It has a stained-glass quality, but also natural. I'm new at botanical drawing and painting and will try something like this. I like how you talk about wet and dry paint and paper at different points. Very helpful, thank you.
Thank you x
Just a beautiful tutorial❣️
Thank you so much ‼️
Thank you Colette
it would be so helpful to have the reference picture on the screen. it would help to make connections to the final product
Thank you. We are going to do in future
Stunning!
Beautiful job, looks so real! ❤
Thank you
This was very inspirational to watch. I'm always amazed by the layering process that you teach so well, the sense of realism that comes thru in the completed piece. And the fine details.....perfection! I so enjoy watching your tutorials and seeing you create such lovely art. I feel like my hands are not steady enough for the fine lining but will continue to try. A great start to my day. Thank you Rae!
Thank you Trina. What a lovely kind words. It means a lot to me that people take the time to comment. Thank you so much X
@@helencampbell thank you for your help with brushes query. M
Seeing your videos gets back memories,I was in an Art school,did exhibitions also but it all stopped aftr marriage,snc I shifted to a new city.and have a mental block to start again....I miss water colours graphic litho printing.and seeing your work I hope I start one day again.
Watercolour is such a wonderful medium. Do give it a try again. Xx
I come across your channel yesterday and i am impressed with your way of explaining .
Thank you 😊
your paintings look beautifully done and appear delicate so amazing
Thank you 😊
Your work is really amazing. I also admire your patience with your work.
Beautiful ♥️
That’s really kind of you x
What a lovely video! Thank you for taking the time to create this beautiful and informative video.
Thank you
🙏 beautifull
Thank you 😀
So glad you used Mungyo paints because they're what I own and I always feel a bit selfconscious because they're not Daniel Smith, Schmincke or whatever expensive paints are out there 😊. I also like the simplicity of your little palette dish. Lovely work 😍
Thank you very much. You really don’t have to buy fancy paints to enjoy painting because these ones work just as well. X
I’m just learning watercolors. I hope to be able to paint like this one day. I’m definitely inspired and I’m going to give this one try and tray until achieve it. Thank you for sharing. 🦋
My pleasure Wendy. Glad you enjoyed it
That was amazing, thank you for sharing! Definitely learned a lot.
Thank you x
Having decided to revisit working with watercolor, I came across your wonderful videos. You are inspiring and I love your works. I am excited to pull out my paints, but have ordered a set of brushes from Zen Art and can hardly wait to get them. For someone with mild arthritis as well as a tremor, these brushes may offer better control with small lines. Thank you so much!
Thank you Lynn. That’s very kind of you and I’m sure you’ll love the brushes. Have you joined our Facebook group? You can access the free line drawings and reference photos there
@@helencampbell While I have a FB account, I have not been logging in for a while. My own little protest against the practices and policies of the company.
I am, however, a fan of Patreon and may join you there. :)
Thank you Lynn. If there’s any line drawings you’d like just email me from the email in the description and I’ll send that way
The little puddle of water thing is brilliant. I don't have perm. violent but I do have dioxazine violet from Windsor Newton. I have sap green which I could probably tone down with a little payne's grey maybe?
Hi Kat. Yes absolutely but use a tiny bit of any black not Payne’s grey. It may be too bluey
Your painting is really good. With this much fine detail I would think it would be easier with more of a smooth paper.
wow!
Thank you
Wonderful tutorial. I do wish we could have seen the reference pic while you were mixing and painting to understand your color choices....thanks
Hi. Future tutorials will have the reference photos on screen permanently. Hang in there with us for a few weeks xx
Really beautiful! Inspired to sit down at my art desk and try this.
Thank you Kristin
Absolutely gorgeous! 🙌🏻
