This is quite literally what I was looking for!! Jajaja thank you, love your vibe guys 🥰 such a pleasure to listen
I absolutely love you guys!! On the Lemons you were saying how some people probably think you are annoying...but I want to shout out that you are flipping rad. You guys make me wish I was there with you hanging out. So, just in case you needed a reminder. WE LOVE YOU!!!!
You are so sweet thank you!
I love your videos and teaching style. You're a fantastic artist and thanks for letting us take a peek into you method!
Thank you so much! Great tutorial ❤🎉
So excited for this one! I couldn’t wait for the tutorial and attempted it on my own. It turned out pretty good. I think this is the most beautiful project we’ve done. More gorgeous, colorful bugs please. 👏
You guys make me laugh every video. Thank you for being so entertaining and making it fun to learn and follow along!
Same!
Neither of you is dumb, but you are both delightful! Love your channel. Thanks for all your hard work.
thank you for another detailed tutorial. I'm getting back into watercolor and find your tutorials so easy to follow. Plus, you're a blast to listen to... you and Keenan!!
Lamprima adolphinae Green Stag Beetle and the pincers are the mandibles. :)
That shell color is to die for! I love love love it. Thank y’all!
We LOVE the beautiful green on this beatle! 💚💚💚
Loved your cool presentation with those bouts of spontaneous laughter
So excited for this one! It's gorgeous!!
Wow! He's fantastic!!! I love the shine you achieved on the shell. So cool! 👍🎨😊
Love the colours in this! Excited yet scared to give this one a go! I am overdue with baby number one and this is how I’m keeping myself occupied 😂
Wouldn't wish being overdue on anyone!
I’m so happy this tutorial is released today because I wanted to paint this one for my dad and his birthday is today!!
Perfect timing!
What a great demo About color blending and color variations ! Thanks Sarah, you are such a great teacher.
I just started this month (like this is literally my second painting!) and I love these videos! They are really fun, thorough, and funny. Thank you! Keep up the good work!! Boris the Gladia-roach for president!!
Thanks for joining us Jillian!
Wow wow wow love this!!!!
Is this a new camera angle? Can't see Sarah's tray, so I didn't know if she is mixing the colors on her tray or just adding them straight to the paper and letting them mix there.
Excellent tutorial, very entertaining :) Thank you!
awesome an the little areas where the paint play are great. Nothing in nature is perfect and this all adds to the appeal of the work. I love your tutorials an yup joining the club next week :-). I did buy the huanted house this week an itching to do that one once my current work is done. I am in love with silhouette style paintings and Halloween so the Haunted house was a win win lol
Painting a bug isn't my thing but think the kids would love this one sharing as a family is always a good thing.
Sarah, how much violet are you mixing with the green/blue? The camera didn't quite catch how you mixed up all the colors! :)
Elisa Bruxvoort I’m wondering this too. There were a number of points where I wished we could see what was happening on her palette.
@@gabriellewestcott4097 I feel like usually they're pretty good about showing us the palette so we can see how she's mixing the colors, but maybe the camera was just zoomed in more than normal! :)
Super excited for this one! I get to paint and it’s my birthday?!!?!!
Happy Birthday!
Beautiful,xx
Can you do more bugs? Please❤
Where is the link for the print?
Hi! Can you plz plz plz plz make a horse? I know you did the unicorn but I think it would be cool for have a different coat color this time. (Bay, chestnut, palomino, pinto, etc) most of the watercolor tutorials aren’t narrated, and when they are, they aren’t what I’m looking for. I just love your style of watercolor! Please consider 🙂
We will add those to our request list. Until then though Sarah did a smaller postcard version of a horse earlier last year in one of her Let's Make Art Matter projects if this helps. www.letsmakeart.com/blogs/make-art-matter/lets-make-art-matter-for-linden-from-wisconsin
@@LetsMakeArt thanks! Am I correct that there isn’t a tutorial? One would be nice, but you don’t have to :)
Hi Team....Great idea this insect...i can't wait to try this one.....Maybe just a question...Have you change the setting of your video lately ? ....I have no internet at home so go to a coffee and load the video...But sint the last 2 or 3 ...I'm not able....Yours videoa are in ADP....THank you
I love your work and find it so helpful in learning watercolor. I'd love to sell some of my work as tote bags to friends and maybe on local fairs. Would it be okay if I'd sell my rendition of this beetle as well? (I'm based in the Netherlands). I have no idea how copyright works if you paint something based on a tutorial, so I thought it would be best to ask the creator :)
It IS a Green Stag Beetle, which comes up on Google!
Did you see the Rainbow Stag beetle? So pretty!
And it is this size in real life, right? 🤣😳
I don't have sea blue. What can I mix to get a color similar to it? I have tried ultramarine, then cerulean, which makes me realize that I'll probably need a different type of blue and some sort of green to get this gorgeous sea blue.
Just started with Let's Make Art. Did pretty well with the lemons. This one turned into a disaster. We're you using straight violet or mixing. Also, maybe I'm going about this the wrong way, but if you could slow down about half a beat, it would be incredibly helpful. I have to keep backing up and pausing.
Straight violet when dropping in with the green to create the black color. Sorry to hear it was a bit fast. Hopefully it is better on our next video. Until then the spacebar or pause button are a big help.
So gorgeous where is the link for the print out?
It's in the description. :)
Did Sarah mix her black? Or did the kit come with black? I don't remember it mentioned during the supplies needed part of the tutorial. Oops!
She mixed her black!
the bleeding always looks so different form tutorials when i do it
Camera angle at 24:12 is much easier to follow along with...
can someone please tell Kenan that his joke wasn't dumb and was hilarious????? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love bugs.
Is there a traceable anywhere for this one?
Yes! You can find it here: www.letsmakeart.com/products/beetle-watercolor-kit
Ugh. Mine looks like a bleeding mess! I have no idea how your getting such dark but distinct colors mine are all bleeding together and leaving weird water drying patterns with darkness only pooling at the edges of the water drop dry spots and the legs! Don’t get me started on those blobs!
Hey Rachel! Totally normal for things to look a little funky. It might be too much water, but it might also be how quickly you're applying layers. This video called for wet on wet, but you might try wet on dry to get a little more control.
Well, this turned into a disaster. The purple got away from me and invaded. Then I accidentally swiped my pinky across it. I continued for practice - knowing I was going to be redoing the piece. Hopefully the next attempt will be better.
Oh no. Hopefully you were able to find a takeaway from the lesson to use on the next one.
