Watercolor Plums and Peonies with Tips for Beginners

Hi Friends.
Painting watercolor shouldn't be about rules but about finding JOY and using your precious free time to elevate your life. I'm here to push fears aside, avoid complicated tools and inspire free spirited, mood shifting watercolor experiences in short bursts of time.
1. Loose with pencil
2. Bold brushstrokes
3. Sketching with watercolor
I hope you'll paint along with me and ask all the questions you want in comments! Post your creations using the hashtags #artforjoysake and #forgetrulesforgetrightrememberjoy
Happy Painting!
XO, Kristy Rice

    definitely not beginner level - I realize the there are "tips" for beginners here, but I can see how a beginner might be super confused after clicking on this video. Gorgeous painting with so many amazing techniques are being taught here. I consider myself intermediate level and I am looking for some more advanced techniques to learn and I'm happy to say that after watching this video I did!

    I'm a professional watercolorist and love watching others work! Your art is beautiful, I've been following your style for years. I travel a lot for live painting and am VERY interested in your brush holder at the beginning of the video. Where did you get that? Thank you!

    +Jamie Lewis Artistry Well that means a ton coming from you! Someone else asked about the holder so I need to figure out the brand name. It is from Dick Blick and about 6x10 when zipped :)

    Beautiful! Where or how did you learn to paint like that? I've been teaching myself for about 10 months or so now, and I still struggle. When I tried to paint like that with no lines I failed miserably. How long have you been painting? Lovely art work!😀

    You are so sweet! Honestly painting without sketching first is so challenging...A great way to oversome this is to sketch a few samples out on cheap drawing paper. There you can figure out some shapes, practice mindful mark making and work out the kinks so to speak! I've been painting watercolor for about 30 years but it is only in the last 5 years or so honestly that I've truly explored my craft in depth.

    You are great, and i love your aret, but why no picture refrence? I am asking because many other artists are saying that photo reference are good to have and shouldnt be seen as its bad, i just want your insight and view of this topic because i want to find my own perspective , thank you

    I don't work from photos always. I make things up!! I also like to push myself to paint from memory.
