Fantastic painting I loved it from South Africa

Best hydrangeas I’ve seen. You speak very clearly and understandably, but honestly I cannot tell the difference between the wrong and right techniques. So confused. I will just watch and rewatch and try and sort it out. Who knew hydrangeas could be so tricky!

Excellent video tutorial, thanks for sharing it, greetings

Stunning, just stunning. I hope this will be uploaded on SkillShare.

Fabuleux, fantastique. Je suis bouche bais devant votre gestion de la couleur. Merci mille fois. J'aimerais tellement parler anglais pour vous comprendre.

Sei bravissima vorrei dipingere ad acquarello come te

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What colours are you using , I really love this shade of colours , they are very warm and soft . Before I’ll buy anything , better be sure . Thanks 🙏 for your magnificent tutorial, really beautiful artwork.

What do you use for your drawing before you paint. I’m always worried it will be to dark and show through, and end up erasing to much. This makes it hard to map out petals. I’m working on a hyacinth painting and I erased way to much. I used Fabre-Castell Graphite Aquarelle. I think I would have Ben fine if I wouldn’t have erased so much. Does it bother you if pencil marks show through? As always, your painting is stunning!

Love your technique and pictures. Any possibility you could post slower videos?

This flower looks so hard. But this is fantastic

👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰

While this is a very beautiful painting, I don't see it as realistic as much as stylized. The drawing of the hydrangea head is very realistic, but the painting overall, to me, is very busy with too many colors being pushed into the flower head, so it's not one visual message but a collection of little messages. When I was a child, I would visit with my paternal grandparents. Their house was covered in an oil-based, glossy zinc white paint. Around the perimeter of the house, my grandfather had planted hydrangea bushes and tube fed them copper to make them a stunning hydrangea blue. I never do see this color in paintings. Hydrangea thrive in the salty atmosphere of being near the ocean. I have also seen this hydrangea blue a lot as a child in the coastal towns along the sea where I lived in Massachusetts. I have another vivid memory of a saltbox style house clad in narrow dark brown ship's lapping with hydrangea bushes around the perimter of the house, with the same striking hydrangea blue as that at my grandparents' house. However, any rendering of hydrangea heads i've seen always seems to be of mixed colors, like changing autumn leaves, rather than one dominant, cohesive and comprehensive color, (blue, white, pink, purple) defined by light and dark variations of that main color to bring it from 2D to 3D realism. I see this autumn leaves look a lot in watercolor paintings. To some extent, modifying the main color with additional colors to help define cool shadows and direct sunlight is understandable, but I think the amount of this technique needs to be in keeping with the subject. If the flower head is comprised of lots of little florets, then adding lots of color variations reads as busy and distracts from the statement that this is a lilac, crepe myrtle, or hydrangea head. This is especially true if the background is very leafy busy as opposed to a wet-on-wet color push. However, lots of color variation with a single and more simple flower head like a tulip, orchid, daffodil, crocus, petunia, or rose head adds interest and dynamics; drawing the eye around the page without confusing the message and losing the subject matter definition. I'm planning an attempt to do what I'm seeing in my mind's eye with regard to my grandfather's vivid blue hydrangea. I expect it will take several attempts before I get close to what I am seeing in my mind. It will be a learning experience and challenge for sure. 💐
