    The demonstration on painting a flower on a color background was my favorite. To see this in practice was eye opening. It is so relaxing to watch Michele’s brush strokes as petals are created. Thanks for sharing Michele.

    I love the tip about each flower having its own color palette 🎨 & the tip about the red in the flower to add to the green stem for brown. Thanks so much for the great tips for Color Mixing & I am really looking forward to the new Flower course! 🫶🏻🥰

    I always learn so much from your videos. I am an experienced watercolour painter, but need a refresher from time to time. Thank you for all of the basic information you provide. I also use many of your tips when I am trying to help out a beginning painter. Those "beginner sets" can really trip you up if you aren't careful.😁

    Great video. I’ve watched it a few times then, painted along too but couldn’t mix a “ ghost “ leaf colour, Mine were various green shades, I have paynes grey but wanted to mix the colour you suggest. The purples & all other exercises were good. Thanks.

    For the ghost leaves sometimes just adding more blue and more water to the leaf colour you are already using will do the job :-)

    This video is so helpful! Thank you! I took notes so as to remember your tips while painting. You mentioned certain colors for landscapes, certain colors for flowers. So I would like to make separate pallettes. Do you have these pallette colors listed somewhere? I'm anxious for your new flower course!

  • @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber

    @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber

    Glad it was helpful! Many colours cross over so I don't tend to keep them separate. Cerulean blue for example is useful for flowers and landscapes. I have three paint sets on Jackmans Art Materials UK website. The first is a split primary basics set, then I have a floral set, and a shadow set. If you click on them you will see the pigments used. (link in description). Flower course is due to launch Wedsday 29 May 2024 (providing I don't sleep or eat in the meantime, deadlines lol) and there will also be two free KZread videos next week.

    I was given a botanical workbook for Mothers Day. Every colour mix includes white and I don’t like the look. Very disappointing. I might try the mixes leaving out the white.

    White is often used in other media but less so in watercolors :-)
