How to Make Art for Joy’s Sake - Free-Spirited Watercolor

[marytesta]

Simple is my thought process. I love this painting. I'm so tight and am loosening up! I'm spending my Saturday afternoon organizing all my art supplies and narrowing down what to keep and what to give to my great nephew who has some real talent at 11 yrs. old.

I love the idea of painting blobs. Then using pencil to create whatever shape the blob speaks to me! ❤

[sandyhardy]

Love your enthusiasm! Speaks to the kid in me 😊

[petragunther]

I love your dedication, addiction, enthusiasm, for watercolor and for teaching us

🙏

[sharonthomas]

I just want to send a huge thank you to you. You are such a generous soul, sharing your passion and enthusiasm, you and your creations are so inspirational. I lost my dear mummy just over a year ago and inherited her large collection of various craft supplies. In among them were some watercolours and paper. We were very close and I know she was of the mind set of wanting perfection, so rather than risk not achieving that she wouldn't even try :( I wish she had been able to watch you, I feel sure you would have been able to do what I could not and that is ignite a fearlessness in her to just go for it. Therefore I am honouring her by diving in and not chasing perfection but feeling the joy! Thank you ever so much, lots of love xxx UK

Great to get the creative juices flowing 🤩🤩

[carolinepotts]

This is not just for beginners! All of us can benefit from this fun - thank you !

[lindawatson]

I just love what you do!! I will give it a go!!!’

[ronnieh]

This is fantastic! I'm always so timid with my paint - this will make me braver for sure. Thank you so much 😁♥️

[brianwilliams]

I just tried this, literally 20 mins before the notification of this video. My boats still need a lot of work but they look like boats, sort of lol.

[marielouisedavidson]

Oh boy! Love this and your enthusiasm! Many Thanks!

[susankivley]

This is so fun. I'm gonna go crazy all over the page 🤪

[heidicash]

I do this a lot. The only way I can do flowers that look like flowers. Haha

[carollegros]

I often do this kind of art. But will try with graphite pencil.
Thanks 😊

[emgjagogg]

I tried this with watercolor pencil instead of graphite pencil and that was fun, too! Thanks for another video that gets me painting with ease! ❤️

[sandi]

I've always wanted to watercolor, but others' videos make it...laborious. ***You bring the fun and joy into painting, without any of the stress***. Thank you!

[pettiestbettyart]

I love blobs lol, when I’m blocked trying to do my digital painting, I make blobs and turn them into little characters 😄

[daniellehendrickson]

This is the EXACT type of thing I’ve been looking for; it’s hard for me to wrap my mind around ‘paint first, outline second’ and this is just perfect.

[byrdsquared]

Blobs, loopy-doo’s & all the silly words really help take the seriousness out of it and allowed me to relax & have fun with it! Thank you so much friend🌸🌺

[burnstar]

I'll think I'll try something similar to this later!
