My favorite is the one with the cactuses! I stumbled on to this video as it came up as a watch next option, im glad i watched it :) at first i didnt like the 2 minute limit since tbh i felt like you didnt have enough time to get any where with any of them really, but after watching till the end i think YOU changed my mind haha. I have never seen these crayons before, i actually didnt know watercolorcrayons exited. I was quite shocked at how it looks when adding water to them, i guess thats when my mind changed about the 2 minutes. Sure you/i could get much further if we add time but that would also defeat the purpose. Getting that "oh i wanna finish it, i wanna do more"-feeling is much more important than making them look great. I did not paint along, but i think i will the next time. but i think i need to buy either watercolor crayons or pencils first cause i think i'd enjoy doing it with that more than with acrylic or oilpaint. Im gonna go watch what other videos you have now :)

Beyond the’ which did you like best’, this was very ….what’s the word…*POW*, for me! The biggest takeaway for me was ….Get the horizon and basic shapes down first!!!You hear that all the time, but you SHOWED me! I am so going to do this whole session today. I loved your skies….and noticed you putting blue around the clouds on the desert scene and saw how that looked like clouds when you wet it. I loved how the cactus seemed shaded on one side (the original line) after you wet it. I loved how the flowers in the house scene looked too. Loved the yellow halo around the center. A quick way to grab the impression of the original. This was all very enlightening for me. Thank you so much Heather. By the way…my favorite was the trees and fence down the lane. Another jog for me…stop making all my tree trunks shades of brown and black!!

It's very fun to watch you paint. Suggestion in your layouts, watch your tangents on your horizon lines.

I love warm-ups like this. I would like to a suggestion, especially for complicated subjects like the landscapes (or the figure for that matter). From my experience doing 50 drawings in 4hrs (a favorite exercise of mine - 4.8 minutes per drawing), since you are using such a small time frame, and going back in later, don't worry about colour. Think line and tone. For me it is compressed charcoal, water soluble graphite, fountain pen, or reed pen and ink. If I have time, I go back in with water and create a basic value structure. Occasionally I revisit the sketch with watercolour or markers. Watercolourist Charles Reid, just did a quick, almost blind, contour drawing in pencil or pen. Just something to try.

I’m glad you enjoyed my video! I’m not sure what song you’re asking about. There is no song playing at the beginning of this video. If you can tell me the time stamp in the video when the song is playing, that would be helpful. Thanks for watching! 😊👍

That’s ok. It gets easier with repetition. I still think some are more challenging than others. I hope you give it a try! If not, thanks for watching! 😊👍
