Just a side note..the “blue” orchids at the grocery store are actually white! If you look, there is a little green floral tape on each bloom stalk, that hides an injection site of blue dye. The orchids will bloom white on future blooms..

Woah I didn’t know this!!!! John are you saying there are no “true” blue orchids in nature?… and also 🤔 does this mean one can theoretically produce blue peonies??!!! Asking for a friend (peonies are my favourite 💙)

@@AnnaBucciarelli orchid blossoms are quite long lived and sturdy, that’s why they survive the injection process. Peony blossoms are super delicate..I grow both..I imagine lavender-ish peonies aren’t far off. On the positive side, the white orchids they use to inject are super hardy, I’ve had one blooming for years on my windowsill..I think there’s one or two “close” blue orchids but they are rare..the super fake looking ones though are in abundance at the grocery store, lol..

Amazing fact John, I also did not know that. A bit disappointing and will definitely check this out, do you know at what point this injection happens, before leaving the grower?.

@@consueloyoung4484 I don’t know the specifics, but I’m sure you can Google it. I would imagine they inject them after the blooms have formed large buds, but, I don’t know. I always warn ppl in the store when I see they’ve bought one. There’s nothing wrong with it as far as I’m concerned, but, after realizing it the colors do look really unnatural. The white variety they usually use is very Hardy, and a good repeat bloomer, at least the one I have. When in doubt, check for a circle of floral tape around the stem, so far I haven’t seen any without it.

If there’s ONE thing that would’ve saved my many beginner struggles, it would be to be taught from the very beginning that watercoloring doesn’t boil down to two states, wet & dry, but three, and damp being one where so so so much of the magic happens. Beautiful tutorial!

Same! I didn’t understand it at first (like first few years of working with watercolors) glad you enjoyed it! 💙

I have been doing watercolor for over 2 years now, but honestly I always struggled with Botanical because they always come out to stark and look unrealistic. This wet on damp technique looks very good for the details so I will definately try and see if it makes a difference!

I have used this technique before but I am not very good at it. I love the results it produces. This video has inspired me to go back and give it another try. I enjoyed watching you paint the orchids as well. Thank you for sharing and I’ll definitely revisit the videos you mention to practice this more. I hope you have an incredible day and I’m excited to see the dragonfly when it’s added

I am painting an Iris for my grandfather and your videos have been so helpful! thank you for sharing your beautiful art with us!

So interesting, I spent all day yesterday practicing this technique! Just beginning to get the hang of it

That is extraordinary art. How fine and delicately you captured the beauty of the flowers.

This tip makes so much sense! Probably one of the reasons why i couldn't get the exact results that they would show in the tutorials! Thank you so much 🌷

Gorgeous piece! Thank you very much for the wonderful tips. They were very helpful. ❤️

Skills like this are what creates a highly skilled artist. Thanks.

I love this technique I discovered it accidentally. I use it when I want some realism in my painting but not too much where I lose the beautiful effects of water color. It takes working at it and sometimes instinct.

Gorgeous details and thank you for showing your technique for achieving it.💙

So lovely. I admire your steady hand. Having a tremor personally I try to make the fine lines but the harder I concentrate the more wobbly it gets. Thanks for your video.

So beautiful, this is how I used to paint watercolor in high school.

Though I’ve used this technique sporadically in my own floral painting, I definitely need to practice it to get the timing down. I loved the suggestion of using a rigger brush, which was a bit of a “ah ha” moment. I’m really looking forward to watching and working from the full length video on Patreon later in the month. I am loving how you are continuing to stretch my artistic skills!! ❤️

I have used this wet on damp technique with pitt markers as well. Not much water is needed otherwise the ink gets diluted. Also, if you went with hard lines already, then wet the area again. The water will do some work to soften those lines as it evaporates. Depending on paper, you may need to gently scrub the area. Sometimes, just rewetting softens up the area just enough.

Familiar with this technique, it does take a bit more patience, but who is in a hurry when painting botanicals?!?!. Thank you Anne for a fantastic tutorial.
