So many valuable points you have made in this one..first ,showing the original photo reference along with the finished composition & explaining why you made the changes for better design.Also,your continued comments throughout the process explaining design wise why you are painting a certain way.The comment about brushstrokes having a purpose,although common sense,it is easy to overlook or forget this during the painting process.This is a such a pleasing composition of a water lily with a simple but effective colour palette.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. Walking us through all the details and why you do them is so helpful. Beautiful work!
Thank you once again Rick. My daughter in law has asked me to paint some water lilies for her, this will help with colour choices and composition for sure 🤗
Hi Rick, it’s Julie! This is so fresh and wonderful. Thank you so much!! Also, I’m thrilled you are doing workshops. I look forward to coming to your area and learning in person sometime soon. You’re an awesome w/c teacher! Enjoy your day and again, thank you for the vids you post 🎨😁
Hi Rick I love you paintings and tutorials for watercolor beginners. My question is am I allowed to sell a painting that was painted and finished following your instructions?
It's not a common practice, however, the paintings in my videos are there to paint and learn from. If someone wants to sell their resulting work at a local venue, I don't mind.
I enjoyed the simplicity of this painting & practicing the variations of green which you used in this painting. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Rick -- You are a master! Every stroke has a purpose. Thanks for sharing your techniques.
Thanks Ev!

So, this paper was dry when you started out? No pre-moistening?
That is correct.
Where can we find your photo reference?
