I really appreciated that there was more than one person painting because it allowed me to see the painting through a different perspective. And it also made the conversations more interesting!

Wonderful! You can totally do this!
I am so happy i found this group. It is keeping me sane during this shutdown. I havent painted for many years and this has really helped me get back into it. Thank you. Thank you.
Love blue hydrangeas!
Love your tip about painting several without picking up paint. Thank you.
This is the perfect way to spend my quarantine. Even though I'm mostly a digital artist (I keep trying to control z to undo) but I love watercolor. And this is the perfect idea for mothers day. My mom absolutely loves Hydrangeas so I cant wait to see what she thinks. Edit: I gave it to her and she loved it! Cant wait to paint more!
I’m rubber stamper but am now painting because of sarah cray! I have a hydragea stamp. I let my grandgirls decide what colors it should be. We had orange flowers with purple leaves! Red leaves and green flowers! Beautiful!! I’m thinking I will have orange flowers when I paint this!! 🙂
This is my first tutorial with you! I love that you also have a novice artist working alongside you, so that I don’t feel bad that mine isn’t as lovely as yours. But, we all must start somewhere. Thank you for the all the tips. I need to overcome my fear to begin as I have no skill set or art education. “Happy Accident” -I love it!
Just finished the bus which I loved and now to tackle those Hydrangea's flowers which are not so easy for me. I am almost 80 but know this is really an old flower my grandmother had lots of them I remember as a child.
Ih my gosh! My Alexa heard you! It's in my husband's office about 20 yards away! It started playing the song! Holy cow!
Sarah, you may be my most favorite person on KZread.
I never get bored watching your videos! Thanks for teaching me a skill I will have all of my life! LOVE WATERCOLOR!
Aww! We had hydrangeas at our wedding last year. They are my favorite because they just give me such a magical feeling! Doubt I can paint them as magically as you 2, but now I have to give it a try!!!
Happy Birthday to you Sarah Cray. May you have a wonderful Day!!!
Great tute! You activated my Alexa to play Taylor Swift’s song! Haha! I love it! Thanx for the happiness today!
Lol Alexa started playing! 😆

OH MY GOD! YOU ARE ALSO HAVE A LATERAL BRUSH GRIP! I was afraid It would limit me as a (re)emerging artist, but now I feel so much better knowing that you also have a lateral grip. I can't tell you how validating this is because my teachers tried so hard to correct my grip.

When I was stationed in Okinawa I was amazed to see huge poinsettia plants, as tall as I am, growing wild.
bloom balls.
Fun. This is on of my favorite flowers but they don't really grow here in Southern Colorado. Thanks LMA folks!

Since you can't grow them in your neck of the woods you can always come paint them with us.❤️
Hydrangeas have very thick woody stems to support those heavy floppy flowers. I have noticed that a lot of painters favor the flowers, then the leaves, but the stem is often completely "off" and since I am a passionate gardener, it drives me nuts!

Oh wow! What a small world!
Too funny my Alexa went on to play that song lol! Love the video- u inspired me to paint hydrangeas 😁
And what am I watching your video on? My kindle! And the Alexa kicked in and started playing music! OMG. So funny!
i would love to see what the girl beside you painted
Watching this late at night when the kids are asleep.... Had to frantically tell our Alexa not to play the music! Lol
Wonder what alternative colors if we don’t have the exact colors you have but have Holbein and WINSOR Newton Colman watercolor paints?
When you said that, my Alexa started playing that song!

Haha same here
I love your tutorials, so much. It would really help me if you could have a sketch available in marker, though, so I can see it.
Our Alexa responded to your command and we were surprised at first!

Are you painting on wet paper.

No, Sarah does not pre-wet her paper when painting.
No outline??? Awe geez. AND I can't see the pencil drawing.
I need to find a way to filter out about 50 ‘likes’ from the video.
Too much chatter
lol. Beyonce would not bring joy to your viewers. lol
This tutorial would be perfect if it were 10 minutes long.
