How To Paint Watercolour Gladioli | February Watercolour Flowers
The Gladiolus is a beautiful seasonal flower for February that I have wanted to paint for ages. It's lovely to paint in a bunch, using the loose, layered technique.

It's beautiful, your flower-themed paintings always bring a soft color, I love this gladiolus. The flower has a symbolic meaning of passionate love or noble passion. In addition, flowers also symbolize happiness, affluence, joy and strong friendship, or show self-compassion.

No no thank you Harriet for starting up your channel. I just got around to it during the Christmas season while making Christmas cards. It’s so relaxing to paint with watercolor. I have chronic pain as well, and often, I sit down to paint or just watch you paint - an hour goes by and I’ve noticed that I’m pain free. Plus when I watch the tutorials, I find myself smiling at the manifestation of a beautifully colored flower and your completed project. Love flowers anyway, but now…😊 Thank you

Gosh Johanna, that's amazing that the escape of watercolour - whether painting or just watching - can have such a positive effect, I'm so pleased for you.

@johannahunter690 2 жыл бұрын

@@deWintonPaperCo the positive effect is one we all are aware of- watercolor painting is relaxing- meditative in a sense. Chronic pain is highly associated with anxiety, so decreasing my anxiety in turn lowers the pain😊. If you’ve ever had any kind of pain from an injury you know how your body winces up and you feel anxious. Concentrating on painting, enjoy seeing blue disperse into the green on hydrangea petals for example- good medicine! Thanks again You’re the best!

Hello. I have recently found your dems Which are lovely, and helping me to become and artist at 82. I love it and wish I had started years ago. However , please tell me why your camera person found it necessary to keep changing to view of the painting from upright , then to sideways on. It drove me mad as just as I was focusing on a particular petal then we lost it and had to turn our head sideways. It was so frustrating, and I have never seen it on any other video I am learning from. Apart from that I love your site and watch it very often. Anita.

Hi Anita, we change the angle because my hand would be obscuring what I'm painting otherwise.
