In this video I’m going to share with you how I created these beautiful watercolor lilacs! There is a lot of prep work that I’ll talk you though as I don’t normally paint flowers with these tiny petals. We’ll also talk through supplies, how to achieve a realistic but soft look and dive into some more advanced techniques. I’m so excited to share these watercolor techniques with you as we paint these watercolor lilacs together

Thank you for saying “this is the piece that normally doesn’t get shown: the piles of papers beforehand “, etc. The research and all that goes with it is what I have wondered about. It is definitely the missing puzzle piece I would like to hear more of. The “why” is what is needed to make me understand how we got to “point A”. Really many more “points” than what are normally shown. Thank you!

Oh I’m so glad it was helpful/encouraging! I’m sure there are artists who don’t need to problem solve as much beforehand but I’m definitely not that talented, haha

The timing of the power drill was perfect. It sounded like superman kind of swooping in. Like your courage building to do the painting you were talking about.😂❤

Beautiful painting Katrina!!! It was so much fun to watch you're process of practice paintings before jumping into the "final" painting. I am so glad you are enjoying the watercolor paints!! 🥰🥰🥰

I love the way you pronounce lilac. It’s so different to my English accent. I am so glad I found your tutorials, you are such a great teacher. Thank you.

Yes, my midwestern roots really came out with the strong “A” here, haha So glad you enjoyed the tutorial! And thank you for the kind feedback ❤️

Lilacs are a great favorite, along with the purple bearded iris. Both are spring blooms, and both smell heavenly. I would love a realistic tutorial on both when you get a chance. I'm a fan of botanical painting. Thank you for allowing this request.💐

I love the technique to show individual flowers. I tried painting lilacs before but could never figure out how to put them in. You solved it for me. Thanks for the video.

Yes!! I have struggled with the same thing but loved painting in the negative to bring it to life! Such a fun watercolor technique-I’m so glad you found it helpful 🥰🥰🥰

Lilacs make the most gorgeous half shadow places to sit under on a hot summer day. So I recommend to search a place for it, where you can place a desk chair or something like that under it .

Oh that is brilliant! I think I have just the place for it…

Do you have a pink variety that you like? I'm thinking about getting both a purple AND a pink bush

Hahaha, okay I really need to prioritize this, don't I?! Maybe I can find a smaller variety that will work better for our yard...

Don’t give up!! It’s tricky, no doubt! But you improve quickly once you get going-I’m around if you ever have questions!

Have only just found you! I'm a self taught artist and loved your rose tutorial. Two questions, I understand you started painting wet in wet but do you reset your paper as you go in or do you continue with wet in dry? Also wondered if there was some reason why the rose was desaturated? Thank you for your inspiration all work.

@katrinacrouch 6 ай бұрын

I started wet to wet but didn’t wet the paper again unless I told you that I did. I mostly paint wet on dry ❤️

Not sure what you mean by the rose being desaturated? I have sick kiddos right now so I might just be too slow this morning from lack of sleep! Hah

How do you keep your palette clean?

@katrinacrouch 2 жыл бұрын

I wash it off between tutorials so that the process and paint mixes/“concoctions” are clear ☺️ usually with a stiff brush, water and rag. Sometimes with a baby wipe (not recommended but the truth, haha!)
