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

[jwall]

Sometimes something will happen, words, a video, or pictures, that brings a flood of thoughts and memories. Figs, and Mother’s Day did it for me. The lesson on composition was great. I always need to push myself to make a plan and stop painting 1 flower and saying I’ll finish it later. I did like making an outline on another piece of paper so I have an idea before I start. Have a wonderful, Happy Mother’s Day.

[staceykehoe]

So beautiful- have tried this twice now! Would love more tutorials for this style, pretty please? ❤

[marshatomkins]

I could use some ideas for subjects. I painted flowers for years and will use your ideas to have fun with that, but take us beyond the complicated figs, please. I have lost my mojo and want it back! You are a big help. Thank you for your ideas, talent, and acceptance.

Love, Love, Love Thank you so much for this!

I’ve been learning watercolors for a little over a year. Im not going to lie, when I first watched your videos last year I thought your style was crazy and very different. After watching other youtube watercolorists I got seriously BORED. I started watching your videos again and boy oh boy I love your style! It’s so refreshing and your paints so different and beautiful. Thank you so much. Pls do more tutorials!

Good morning! I just finished watching this tutorial and I want to thank you for helping me find my joy again. I'm a beginner who attempts advanced techniques and then frustrates herself when something goes awry. 🙃 When that happens I go back to researching how to rework the issue. I enjoy that so much because I end up tripping over tutorials like yours and thank you for loving watercolor so much that it shows in all you do. I went on a quest to watch as many as I could. I LOVE your Large, Bold, exciting paintings You make it look so easy and I LOVE your figs and little green doohickeys!! I also went and looked up "Tulipina", uh, she is a reference I will definitely tuck away, she's amazing too! So, today I will use that joy to play large!! Thank you, Kristy. 🦄(magic)

Oh my goodness I am so glad I found this video. I am somebody who needs a goal to work toward in art. This is why I do photorealism with most of what I do. This is perfect! I am Sicilian and so this in my dining room is the ideal piece of artwork I have been looking for for that area. Now to the practicing and accomplishing it LOL 😂.

[gilashroot]

I could probably say this about a lot of your videos. Brilliant. Thank you. 1 of my favorite videos. Helps me so much. Learned a lot. Love you, your channel, and your videos.
❤.

This is way beyond my own level yet SO exciting to watch just for joy's sake😀

[LAMB-wh]

You are so talented and inspiring that tears flow down my cheeks when you share your gift!

[MirandaBalogh]

This painting looks beautiful! The composition is brilliant and there's something so satisfying about the colour palette. I don't have time to paint a full piece like this, but I'm looking forward to creating a smaller version. Thank you for making this tutorial!

[vee]

What a deliciously beautiful painting!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this superb demo - thank you Kristy for open new horizons for me!

[Crusherwoman]

I love the colors, and I love the intensity of the colors!

[katie_a]

This video has got me back into watercolor painting. I put it on the back burner for a long time for the same reasons you got bored with it too. This is like a breath of fresh air!

[leanneburlew]

Thank you! My brush set and beginner paints are ordered! In the mean time I'm practicing with what I have. Feeling the Joy and trying to gain courage.

[crsept]

Fascinating instruction Kristy; thank you for triggering a couple of creative ideas in my own art. You are a 💎.

[Calme]

Love your brush strokes something I am working on.

[JoeJoe-uohf]
