I can't believe I've only just discovered your channel! I've learnt so much in just the one video! Your style is so beautiful - translucent, watery and light. My style (if you can call it a style) is the complete opposite - I'm constantly in a rush to finish a painting, dislike focusing on details, and lack patience in general. It was so rewarding to finish this piece with you given this was also personally so difficult on a mental level. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us ❤

At the first of the video you talk about the red paint lifting off when you try to add more. There is a reason for that. You have to put the first coat of paint on and then leave it alone until it is completely dry. Then you can add more paint without lifting the previous paint. You can continue to let it dry and add more paint as many times as you like. Also, see if your watercolor paper is 100% cotton. If it is not that could also be your problem. When I use cellulose pulp paper my colors lift and it’s very hard to paint on. 100% cotton is more expensive but it is worth the cost. Your flowers are beautiful and you are a very talented artist. Thank you for sharing!!

I was so captivated by this painting, I just had to try it, even though I haven't painted with watercolour since I was a child. I was thrilled with how it turned out. Unfortunately I only had limited colour options with my paint as I only had a sample pack of watercolours, but I think I will definitely try it again to see if I can get an even better result. You mentioned in your video that you were concerned it might be too complex for beginners, well whilst I am a beginner at watercolours, I have always drawn and painted with acrylics, and found your video and super helpful and insightful guidance and instructions really easy to follow. I shall try your other tutorials too. Thank you so much for your time and sharing your beautiful talent ❤️

My daughter put a list in my blog! Sunsetpeonies.com, look for a product list!!!

Do you have a drawing of the the poppies for us to trace? The pencil lines are very faint on the screen.

Hello Martina, the drawing on my blog post at sunset peonies.com! That’s all I have for now! The original I did for this video is gone!

?????? QUESTION ??????? Please for tutorial purposes could you use darker sketch as it’s not visable Beautiful to see you paint but better if the drawing was visible on screen please Thank you for your consideration of this request. 😃🎨

Thank you! I do use a dark marker! I will research and see if I can adjust exposure! Can’t use thicker marker I am afraid people will think it’s ok to use thick line! Thank you for bringing that to my attention!

Ok got a friend who does graphic to look at it! She said simple solution is to turn your screen of whatever device you have to bright, then you can adjust to your need! Better to not change my way of doing things because she said she is fine, many people doesn’t like bright bright! Thank you can’t believe it’s just a button on your screen will do the trick! Have fun!

You mentioned getting drawing to do,,how do we get them ,,

Yes! I am happy you can do that!

Hello! I have just discovered your channel and I really want to try this. BTW, I would much rather "long" tutorials that I can actually learn from; please do not think that your tutorials are too long! I'm sure I'm just missing something, but I can't find where you have the line drawing available. I'm in the process of learning how to draw also, but I just want to jump right in to this one! Where can I find the drawing? Thank you so much!
