My heart starts to beat faster with the thrill of watching your creations!

damn you're amazing. I'm painting this for my mom tonight. you have NO idea how much joy you've brought me.

I am OBSESSED with developing a sunflower I like! Also a pine cone!

Love the center- all the colors. So exciting!!!!

This would be my first watercolour. I'm 66 and have just started drawing and painting. Thank you.

Can’t wait to try this when I paint next week.

You make watercoloring so much fun, and take the scariness out of it for beginners like me. Thank you, Kristy!

I love Sunflowers. My daughter grew one that was so beautiful and tall that it broke and it made her so sad. I want to paint one for her that she won’t have to worry about breaking. This sunflower is it! I’m so excited. Thank you for teaching me how to make one she’s going to 💕

Thank you Kristy. This was a fun exercise. Might I suggest for a fun, positive, and joyful expression: KISS Keep It Simple Sweetie

Looks like an easy flower to do.

Kristi's liner brush is awesome! It has a spring to it I've never had in any other brush! It allows the thinnest lines I've ever made.

All marvellous this sunflower!

Thank you so much for the KISS analogy, it literally was the motivation and clarity I needed to help me detach myself from perfectionism and get back to really allowing my art to lead me rather than my ego. Thank you for sharing this and yourself with the world we truly appreciate it.

I loved this video Kristy. You have such positive energy that radiates right through our devices. Thank you for sharing. I will try this in the morning.

Middle in the night. Couldn’t find sleep, found your sunflower and painted along with you! Made me happy, learned a lot. Used watercolor and gouache, just to cover some awkward brushstrokes. THANK YOU! Love your tutorials !!!

I really like the bold loose paintings. I'm definitely trying this today 😃

What I love about this video is your confidence you have in us newbies🌸

This was therapeutic, just the boost of joy I needed! You had me at "You can't screw this up" ❤ I played it on slow speed and painted along with you. Joy!

This is my fave tutorial of yours! It is liberating! Doesn’t look amateurish, nor impressionist, looks Joyful! Fun to do! Great for people who are struggling because it is fun!❤❤❤

I love the freedom

Can't wait to try this sunflower!

Boop Boop! You totally crack me up! I am going to absolutely love painting with you! I am new to water color! I have done oil, acrylic before so this will be a fun change! I went to an estate sale and bought all her water color stuff! Super excited to dive in

Sunflowers are popular right now. I like your loose version.

This video shows what can be accomplished in a short sitting time, maybe 5-10 minutes. I can make a flower, enjoy the process (most important), and finish. Please continue with some more of these videos. They show me that I can paint what you show. You have such a pleasant attitude and voice.Encouraging viewers to paint with what they have, but also giving names of colors and types of paper and paintbrushes, you are the reason I am trying once again to paint with watercolor. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing. You are making your corner of the world engaged and happy!

Ha, my dad was navy as well and he said KISS all the time. ❤️

Sometimes find painting hard. This was great fun. Good result for ma a begginner. Thanks : )

This is so much fun!

I found this video inspiring and painted my very first watercolor

I love how the yellow petals stand out against the blue tones, such a gorgeous painting Kristy, thank you.

Thank you for inspiration after my workday. So fun!

I really loved this and your 6 flower tutorial! I’m new to your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and your thorough explanations! I’ve learned even more as an intermediate watercolor artist!

You said to make and enjoy this, so I did my sunflower painting ... and I felt so free :) !!! Thank you,

The title caught my attention and you have inspired me.!

I painted this this morning and it didn't turn out too bad! I used to paint 25ish years ago in my early to mid 20s, and am trying to get back into it. Your videos are definitely helping, so thank you!

Oh my! Amazing 👏!

Kristy: "You can't screw this up!" Me: "Hold my paint water" lol ^_^

This was so relaxing! I never would have thought to put so many different colors in the center. It is beautiful!

Kristy, the sunflower is one off my favorite flowers. Thanks for making this seem so easy! I will give it a try and tag you.

This provided another pathway for my watercolor journey. I'm usually the loose, flowing, pastel girl, trying to keep it light and airy. This felt so "naughty!" and was so bold. It was fun. Will probably not be my go-to style for most but it does help to keep things fresh. It was fun and you take away all my fear of "Screwing it Up." Thank you for that freedom. Purchased a rigger and liner brush at your urging. So glad I did! Love them both. (Hmmmm...a cat's tongue...don't have one of those....yet!)

I'm gonna try the Sunflower this afternoon, excited! 😁 chores first, boo.

I am so trying this sunflower. I always look forward to your tutorials. I drink my morning coffee watching it it is so peaceful and fun. Thank you 😊

I love the way you paint 😍😍bravissima

I love painting sunflowers and learning to use the techniques you are teaching is mind blowing. Thank you so much

I love your videos, I’m learning so much. I didn’t even know what a dagger brush was . I’m now the proud owner of a 1/4” and a 1/2”. ♥️😊

Wow! Beautiful and I am definitely going to try it. Your background tips were the best. I have a liner brush but never thought to use it on the background. I’m a beginner and glad I’ve come across you!

Excellent

I love your videos! You make it all seem so doable!

I loved 🥰 it

I was thinking about sunflowers the other day! I can't wait to try this today!

Loved your energy. Freedom!

I loved this! I painted along, hitting pause often to keep up. I'm somewhat new to watercolor and I first watched you during the recent creative retreat. I watched, and painted along with, your anti color mixing flower tutorial. I knew right then that I loved your style! Thank you for making painting fun instead of it being intimidating!

I’ve never used the dagger brush before. What a game changer!! Thanks! Love your channel.

KISS isn't agreesive, it's a way of life :)

Woo! Another video for my sunflower playlist! I have no idea what I am doing, but I fully intend to manage to get blobs of yellow to turn into reasonably recognisable sunflower in the near future.

I got your brushes and left a review on amazon. I love your brushes.

Love this !!!

Sunflowers are the reason I ever tried to make a mark on paper, I believe. As long as I can recall sunflowers just make me. I can't wait to try this. I may have been doing too much with the liner brush lately, but who cares?! I have some good calligraphy ink, I think I ’ll use for the flourishes. I am smitten with Dioxazine purple for the background rather than the blue, but time will tell.

Loved this!

Love it

Amazing. Thank you

Love the base painting. Looking forward to the details 😍 Superb choice if this is the first time painting a flower.🌻

Hi Kristy! I love your sunflower but mine was bigger in the centre and smaller petals. My Mom has these flowers in the summer and the birds love the seeds. I love birds and flowers but I'm bedbound and I can't walk outside anymore. Ah well such is life!! Anyways, I love making art! It's cathartic and good for the soul. Take care!

😊This is a good demonstration ...very inspiring...I mostly do acrylics, when at home, but take my WC set with me when on the road, which is a lot. (Never have enough time to paint!This is my punishment for not minoring in art!) I'm 66 now and art is my therapy. Just discovered your channel... new sub!🎉

My brushes arrived love sunflowers.

Love this pic definitely going to try this , I love the vibrant colours Ty Kristy

Great fun... will do this for sure!!

I love the freedom flow painting. Still waiting on my brushes

Easy ,love this !!!Tku..70 and yes I can do this !!!

Very fun sunflower! Your brushes are sold out on Amazon so ordered the little one on your site. I can't wait to get it!

Had fun trying this one out. Thank you x

Loved this and love your brushes. Love how my sunflower turned out 💕

Wanted to watch video but this looks so good I’m going to try it.for me it was your bold color choices, it go me thinking I could do this thank you so much. Your videos are so interesting.

I found the video I needed today. 😅

Awesome video! Going to try this. Thank you! 💖

Love it and will definitely try this soon..keep you posted♥️

Very inspiering. Love it.🤗🤗🤗

So beautiful! 😍

Good instruction. I’ve just found your channel!

Beautiful 🥰love it...❤

I’m anxious to try the multi color center with colors other than browns & black. Also, I want to try the background. Filling in a background scares me. 😆

Hello! I love the way you intertwined the strokes and used a liner brush for the movement effect. Can a fountain pen be used for the same effect?

I have trouble scaling from a picture to my paint pad. Really. Enjoy your show.

Keep It Simple Sweety works to

Hi Kristy, you know the Italian watercolors Gallo? From Assisi, they are handmade with Honey!

Kristy, I just found your site. After painting with watercolors for a year, I am now having fun thanks to you. I do have a question, where might I find the small magnets that you use to put the pans in your cute tins. 🥰Brenda - 1

It's very pretty, colorful but not my style. However, your technique of adding the accents is something I will try.

I bet ya I could still muck it up lol. I tried freehand painting and it looked like a dog painted it. lol

I did the sunflower I had trouble with the background (spotted) I really think too much paint and water but i will try again....

I managed to screw this up when I dipped my brush into purple instead of blue... Completely ruined the colour of the leaves! 😭

Tried this several times and the yellow areas don't work for me. I think it would be better if I had some more opaque paint like you have.

What’s the link to your other video to do flowers

I know this video is old but I have a question about your choice of paper. I bought some rough paper as a rookie mistake what is the difference between all the papers...hot, cold press and rough. Thank you

I couldn't use rough paper! How'd you make it work?! 🎉

How do I purchase those three brushes?

Well I screwed it up
