I'm a beginner water color artist 😊. I looked at several videos before I chose you as my water color teacher. Thanks for the instructions.

[tamraoscroft]

Thanks for your simple straightforward instructions with no distracting music. Your flowers turned out great and I can't wait to try them out!

[bbknits]

I’m so happy I found your channel, the flowers are so delicate ❤ I’m just learning to draw and paint at age 70 and am very drawn to whimsical art so far. On seeing this video I’m going to give this a go also . Have subscribed and hopefully I will learn a lot more from you 👏🏻👏🏻

[tamijeppson]

I agree, I appreciate your tutorials without distracting music. I can’t wait to try these.

You said easy so I thought "hmm OK. I'll give it a go". They came out looking like flowers 🤔 but I wouldn't want to land in a field of them 😅😅 Yours are perfect. I won't give up. One day I'll paint pretty flowers like yours 😊

[marqitvalyoue]

I over think the process. This looks so simple and fun. I have to just relax.

Just bought my first set of watercolors (in my 60s) and tried your excellent tutorial May 1st, 2024. My mom is turning 86 this month, so I’m hoping to text her a photo of a little watercolor card every day this month. Thanks for your excellent tutorials!

I’m a beginner. I love lavender. I tried your technique last night. Love it! Love it! Love it! ❤❤❤ Thank you so much 🙏🏻😘

Flowers have really intimidated me through the past few years with my watercolor journey, but this video really was an eye-opener, and I will be practicing flowers much more often! Thank you for this video, and I hope/would love to see more of these!

I never liked drawing or painting flowers...until I saw this video! You took away any misgivings i had about flowers being difficult to paint; now I'm excited to be adding flowers to my 'fun to paint' practices! Thank you 🙂
