Love the cat!!!

Great - now I understand how to do the background to white flowers ! Thanks

You make it so easy to have the most realistic flowers!

Thank you 🌺 I left a painting I like and allready painted on it for hours. I was waiting to learn how to paint this white flowers. This vidéo was very helpful and I think I'm ready to paint on this painting again. 😸😹

YOU HAVE YOUR KITTY! I thought I remembered an FAQ video awhile back that said you couldn't have pets in your current apartment, so either you convinced your landlord or SHHHH! your secret is safe with us! Very useful video, with cat disruptions that ALWAYS improve watercolor painting videos!

Thank you! I found the shading on the petals most helpful.

Thank you, Michele - I had no idea where to start with white flowers. This was very helpful - at least I now have a plan.

Excellent video! I feel more confident now, that I can paint white flowers. I am working on a wedding bouquet for a friend that has 3 white roses and a white tulip in it. Thanks for the help!

I’m about to paint some white flowers. These tips are awesome!

Excellent video. The magnolias will be blossoming here in Germany soon and they are so beautiful and light pinkish and white and this video will help me to have a go at them.

Your cat woke up my cat--😂

Love your 🐈.

This is so helpful, Michele. It is so useful to have all the white flower tips in one video! And so great that the tips can be applied to lots of other subjects too. Thanks again!

Thanks

Thank you so much, your tutorials are fantastic!

Many thanks for the lovely and very helpful tutorial

Really appreciated this video. Especially liked your 3 background options. A background can enhance or detract from the painting and planning it has always been a dreaded challenge. I have a request that I am almost embarrassed to share...all artists talk about erasing the pencil marks on the sketch, but I haven't found one who actually goes through the materials and steps to ensure success. By the time I'm ready to erase the marks, I have at least a light wash of paint on them and I don't have any degree of success. Would you consider covering this tip in one of your future videos? Thank you, Michelle. ❤

Very helpful thank you 😊 Louise and Emily ❤

Great timing as I have been painting while flowers I always learn so much from you, thanks

Thank you for a very helpful video! Can you do a separate video for shadowing the white flower?

The Petal Shadow color looks gorgeous! I had never heard of Davey's Gray before. Sounds like kitty wants to join the show, haha!

Your cat wants to paint...very useful indeed. Thanks for sharing your talent!!!

Always enjoy your videos.

And I drew a rose bud just last night, but didn't paint it... glad I held off. This tutorial is greatly appreciated.

,🙏 Michele, very useful tutorial.

You are so reliable ma’am! Your videos always give me several options to approach any watercolor challenge. 🫡

Love it. Just learning about color

Helpful information...thank you!

Great info. ty

Thanls Michelle. I was trying to paint a picture of a flower arrangement I created . Thanks to your rose tutorial I was very happy with how the deep pink rose turned out but ended up changing the white mum into a yellow one because I didn't know how to handle the white petals. Now I have a good idea of how I will treat the next white flower I paint.

The tips about the different kinds of gray shadow colors were super useful! Thanks. I always learn new stuff from your videos.

Thank you, very helpful. Love the cat. Do you, or would have a demo on adding additional color onto an already dry background?

Very helpful.

Thank you for the help with flowers. I do a lot of landscapes, but also love flowers. Your tips will make my success more of a guarantee than just a hope. You are so generous.

ALL tips are important and quite valuable for any watercolor painting.Thanks

Love your humor 😂. As a beginning painter using inexpensive non-cotton watercolor paper, I wasn't happy with my last attempt at a white flower. I tried to save it from the trash by using chalk. It gave me back the white space and even improved the background. I sprayed it with a fixative so it wouldn't smudge. When I checked it today the chalk seems to be fading a little. I may have another go with the chalk to to see if I can make it more permanent. Have you ever used chalk on a picture, or are you shaking your head at another beginner mistake? Yes I'm going to try this flower exercise. Last time I made the sketch too light and lost my way. Live, love, and learn. Thank you for being on Utube.🥰

Thank you for this video! I am at a very beginner stage with watercolour and I've only ever tried pink or purple flowers since those are y favourite colours. The idea of white flowers is intimidating but this guide is very helpful! Loved how the flower petals popped against one another as soon as you put the first of the shadows down. Excellent tip on mixing blue, pink, and yellow to make a lovely grey too! Thanks again!

Haven't painted many flowers, loved this tutorial just need the confidence to try out your tips. Love the sound of petal and davys shadow!! Going to order them now. Thanks again

Thankyou , Michele. Your flowers are gorgeous.

Excellent video Michele. Thx as always. 🥰

Thanks for the tutorial…I’m just starting to paint with watercolours and this was very informative for me…thanks , Michele…

I appreciate all your video tips! Thank you

Thank you for showing us the best shadow colors for white flowers. I especially liked the first one with the lavender/gray/pink color petal shadow. After much trial and error, I have been using something like that for shadows on white feathers on birds-especially if those are some of the same colors in the colored feathers of that bird. Botanical style flowers are a bit intimidating, but I will try them in the near future. Thank you!

Good, helpful, practical tips. Thank you.

Excellent, as always!

Yesterday I ordered the petal shade & delphinium from your curated paints. I am beyond excited to received a box from across the pond. I live in Minnesota, US Curious Michelle, do they still have Thornton's English Chocolate Shops around ??? As a young lady, I worked at one of the locations in Chicago. They are no longer here in the USA.

We have cats like yours! Totally demanding attention 😆 we have a Siamese that is very highly strung / he’s way better after 4 drops of Rescue Remedy for pets (Amazon) yay 🙏 I always go wrong with shadows on anything - I’ve actually taken black out of my palette now - interesting about Payne’s grey….. that’s probably where I go wrong Thank you for the color mixing option I quite like a pinky grey.

Thank you! I am wanting to paint some of the spring ephemeral flowers that will be coming up soon (I hope). Most of them are white or very pale shades of blues & pinks. I do have one question about the shadows on white flowers. Sometimes the white flowers look like the shadows have a slight greenish cast to them. Do you think that is just a trick of the eye or are they reflecting the green of the plant? I hope you and Gimlet had fun playing. :)

I actually rather like the cat sound effects. Feel free to leave them in. Videos of the cat wouldn't go astray either. 🤣

I really enjoyed watching this video but florals still scare me a lot😅. I'm still thinking about giving a go to you magnolia but have no guts, I'm still trying to metabolize it. But I know the right moment will come😂

Michele I asked you a question and when you responded KZfaq wouldn’t let me see it. I’m sorry if I’m being annoying, but I would really like to know how jackman watercolors compare to other brands lol

I thought that was one of my cats! 😂

🐭🐭🍁🍁🍁🍁🧸🧸

You make me laugh. That is critical when remembering not to take all of this so seriously that I am paralyzed!

Sorry white flowers
