I love all your paintings but I really do enjoy having a background on some. This was really fun and beautiful.

I figured out how to find the ref & line. Thank you. I now have a printer at home too. Now I just need to learn how to resize my picture for printing but that should be easy

Thank you. For our newer videos they will be right at the end of the video so you can pause and screenshot

The background accentuated the white areas of the petals and makes them pop. I like paintings both with and without the background. Iris are one of my favorites. It's always magic watching your paintings evolve. Thank you.

I just had a really close up look at the almost finished painting and noticed how you’ve allowed some background areas to have that watercolour bloom effect and it looks so nice and natural, love it. Ive heard artists talk about using it to their advantage and this is a good example. A beautiful painting with or without the background, the details on the flower are so amazing.

PS I do love the coloured backgrounds and enjoy plain too. I did wonder when you first applied it that it would detract from the iris but adding that extra depth of colours to the petals certainly brought it back to the foreground 🥰🤗👍

Hi Helen loving your work thankyou for making it look so easy. Although I think those fine lines are easier seen than done..havent conquered that technique yet. Im a new subscriber to your channel and dont think I'll be going anywhere for a while. Im relatively new to watercolour and you show that less is more. I find listening to your voice is quite mesmerising 🤗🥰 I would love to fiind out in AUD your Patreon rates is that possible? Cheers from Western Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

Hi Jenny. You don’t have to Pay to go onto Facebook. Patreon is our paid for service, but you can access the line drawings, well the later ones at least, from the way I stated. We will be putting all of the line drawings at the end of our videos and on the community tab, but that’s just from a few weeks ago so any videos before that will just be on Facebook. But the line drawings and reference photographs for later ones will be the new way as well so you will be able to join in 😀

Very beautiful, thank you for the tutorial. How and where do you discard dirty water once you are done with your painting ? I see lots of opinions around us which leads to confusion.

I think watercolour paints are not a problem to discard. Acrylic paints are plastic and pose a problem.

Beautiful Iris! I was wondering if you know of a US website that carries these brushes. i started putting them in my cart from the site you gave links to and then realized the shipping is really high for the relative size/weight because they are shipped from the UK. Does Amazon or Dick Blick have this brand?
