I am so happy I found you. I am 70 and just starting out and you make everything seem possible. Thank you so much I am so grateful.

You Ms.Sarah Cray and Staff make me seriously emotional every time I watch or follow your awesome tutorials. They are so professional but with such a fun and humorous presentation! It gives us such a comfortable warm and fuzzy feeling... thank you !!!💕💕💕

Thank you so much for doing this youtube. I am a watercolorist from years gone by, put it on the shelf for awhile due to other interests demanding my attention, but getting back into it these days. I painted along with you and my turtle turned out just awesome thanks to your step by step tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and love for watercolor with the world. You rock!

LOVE the Sea Turtle colors!

I just came for the background. I've been painting for around two years now but this is the first time I understood how to do it. Thank you.

LOL. Y’all crack me up! I laugh so much at your adorably fun videos! I was laughing so much with the Octopus video with Michael too. He’s hysterical and you two are so cute together.

I am having The. Best. Time. With your tutorials! Thank you for introducing me to liquid watercolor!

wahoo shout to the Aussies! Totally appreciate the sharing and caring xx

On more little tip for you in the Midwest snow season: if you DO have a rear wheel drive (mine is a little pickup truck) you can place sand bags directly over the rear wheels (I use about 200 lbs) and motor through the snow without any trouble at all. Really!

I love turtles! I get real joy watching and listening to you and the rapport you have with your helpers. I also appreciate your honesty when you don't know something about your subject matter. Your turtle is great. I just ordered it and the march subscription.

I love your tutorials! Merci beaucoup.

Not sure why anyone would give a "thumbs down".. You are an amazing teacher!

I’ve your artworks Sarah! Thumbs up times a thousand.👍🏻x1000

Your tutorials are so good! I watch and then paint. It works! Grateful🙌

What a talented artist and teacher you are Sarah. Great professional video too Keenan. Thanks so much, from Surrey, UK

Love the turtle! Thanks for sharing 😊❤️

I really love this channel and you two. Every step you explain is very detailed and funny so I can easily follow and paint. Love and thank you 💕

That's fantastic. Well done

I just love this little guy!!!! I've been patiently waiting for this tutorial! I never thought I'd be able to paint a sea turtle but you instructions make it possible. The markings on his flippers look like mosaic tiles. Glad you guys are safe after the storm that passed through. I have a friend that had a mustang in Wisconsin and when it would snow his rear tires would just spin and spin....he quickly traded that car in. Heidi

This was so much fun! Thank you very much for sharing your talent with the world. My turtle turned out to be one of my favourite projects to date.

This is lovely. I’ve purchase this kit. I’m watching the video before attempting the project. I like how much you teach while you’re going through the project. I’m super excited to try this kit. Thanks. I grew up in Indiana. Rear wheel drive isn’t the best idea in the winter.

Soooooo excited for this one since I saw it on insta!! Bring on this cute turtle!! I love the balance of simple and more complex paintings. Might have to paint this tonight!

Wow ok so I tried to make this turtle and it didn’t come out too great but I’m proud of it because at least I tried. But seeing mine compared to yours just makes me realize how truly talented you are with watercolor painting. Amazing artwork, fantastic tutorial, and keep up the great work👍🏻👍🏻. I am determined to make something that looks good

I painted a turtle almost exactly like this one a few months ago but it seemed flat. Then, ah- ha! I learned so much about shadows and dimension from today's video. Thank you so much.😃

Thank you for your excellent explanations, they are very helpful!

Great explanations on watercolor techniques and love the painting. But best of all, your personalities are so well matched and enjoyable to listen to. Thank you both for your time, energy and talents.

Yay!! Finally. Being waiting for it. So excited to try!

Thank you for this video! You helped a lot. Will watch more of your videos ❤

Hey Sarah I'm in Australia and we're going through winter and a second lockdown here in Melbourne. Learning to paint has been a godsend for me while I can't see my children and grandchildren. Thanks for all your wonderful instruction and your bubbly fun! It really does brighten a wintry day for me and I enjoyed painting this cool turtle along with you. Wendy 😊

y'all are so cute love watching and learning you make it fun and I just ordered my first kit for the turtle can't wait to try it I am new to watercolors I have always used acrylics, oils, pastels soooo this is very stressful to me but y'all make me think I can do it and we here in N.C. close down if it even thinks about a snow flurry but we aren't used to snow lol stay safe and warm

Great demo.... thanks!

The scales on the shell and flippers are called scutes. The "arms" are called flippers. the mouth is called the beak.

I'm so happy and thankful I found your channel!! Your tutorials are awesome you really give great I structuring in explaining why it is what you're doing alot of people will just paint and tell you when to switch a color but you're great you must have some kind of teaching background thank you!!!

This is the 3rd video of yours that I've watched so far. I'm very new to your channel and am LOVE LOVE LOVING it! I'm also obsessed with watercolor and it's my most favorite medium ever. I HATED it when I was in high school. Lol! I've always wanted to learn to paint animals because they might be my most favorite living things on the planet. Particularly under sea animals. It AMAZES me how the animals you paint come to life when you finally add the eye! I'm working on this tutorial myself. I can't wait to try more. You are a breath of fresh air to watch too. Thank you so much for offering these tutorials and teaching us.

I just order the kit!!!! I can’t wait!!! I just visited the Caribbean and visited a sea turtle farm!! I LOVE turtles. And frogs. LOL

Thank you so much! This was my first time with watercolors and mi turtle turned out amazing!

You guys are sooo funny! I feel like you are my friends. ☺ Thanks for helping me learn watercolor. Maybe one day I will share my work 😁 It would be beneficial, to me at least, if you could show your palette while you mix, making it easier to see how much water you use and your paint consistency? Also, leaving the reference photo on the screen. 🙏

Looks great!

You made it look easy I didn't paint tonight but will try it later thanks for the drawing as well.

You’re wonderful !

Thank you mam ❤

Great turtle!

Missouri people!!! I just found this channel, and as a fellow Missourian it's great to see us represented. I love the banter between you two (reminds me of the ?? Sherpa and her hubby/cameraman . Very relaxed and encouraging at the same time. I have been dabbling in watercolor for a short time and I love how you make it so much easier than it was before for me. I have learned though, that paper makes all the difference. I was using thick, but not necessarily watercolor paper and it was a struggle/disaster. Since switching to actual watercolor paper I get so excited when I see the blooms in my wet on wet exercises, and the multiple glazes I can put down without the paper balling up. I subscribed immediately as you are my kind of people!! lol Hugs from St. Charles, MO.

Thanks for showing swatches of color again! My subscription doesn’t start until March. What would you guess the ph Martin equivalents would be? Oh! Also I loved having your palatte in view. I learn a lot by watching how you mix colors. 🙂

Turtle shell “Scute” sea turtle, “flippers” markings on flippers are “scale!” 😉😃

Great videos and paintings. Can you do a video on how you frame them for gift giving or just display them. Thank you Roni

❤❤

Awesome painting

C est magnifique 🤩

FYI: both the front and back "arms", as you called them, are called "flippers". Also, for future questions, tell your photographer to look up "anatomy of...." whatever you're looking for. You can click on "images" and get your answers. Thanks for doing this lovely sea turtle. {and, just so you know...in Hawaiian, they are called "Honu". And now you know!

Scutes are the name of spots on shell. The shell is part of his skin the skeleton. Go deeper Keenen… don’t think so much and don’t be scared 😱

This just saved my day :0

I did it!! Woohoo! It's nowhere near as good as yours but mine does actually look more or less like a turtle! Thank you very much for this tutorial!! 👍

The Sea Turtle unlike the common painter turtle of The Lakeside and other countries.

Four flippers. Sea turtles do not have fails

Omgosh haha have you ever seen the kids show stickman? It's on prime video. What if you did a video on making him 🙈🙈

Those markings are called scutes. :)

mam easy and incerdible thank you for the video

Sarah Cray: like when you do those "hand things" me: Sarah, please speak English 🤣🤣🤣

helpful!

I love your art, love that you can get outline when unable to buy project! I'd love to buy but I'm from UK, I'm new to watercolor, see you use Dr phils, spotted there's hydrus or concentrated, I'm not sure of difference which is best to use please? I've only tried paste before, but love how watery and fluid the inks look that you use, like to try but not sure which out of two dr phills types? Thanks for any advice x

Been waiting for this one. Can't wait to try it!

i like your viedo

Yes, they are Palm fronds :)

Can you tell me the colors I should purchase for this project? I found the traceable pattern but when I looked for the supplies needed for the kit, the colors were not listed. Thanks! Can’t wait to try this.

Where do you find the outlines for the sea turtle. I don’t see a button to click to print outlines.

What about bubbles in the paint strokes?

What kind of colors are you using they seem so pigmentet

The f in in the rear is actually a back leg ...they do crawl in beach to pay eggs...like a tie under a car...missing the other leg

Markings are scales. Arms are flippers.

The top of the shell is carapace... what you referred to as freckles are actually called plates. I am not a scientist... I found it on one google search. Keenan!.?

What size is this paper in this kit? You website doesn’t give a paper size for this product project.

Which paints to you use?

I looked up the spots on a sea turtle & they are just called spots.

I was SO excited to see a Watercolour Box subscription and went straight to Subscribe but the shipping costs are 51 $ ?? 🤬😱😭 that been said, I just love your concept and will follow along every time I can. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

I can’t find the free outline. I went to the website like you said and the kit but when you click on the outline in the kit nothing happens. Looking forward to trying this video though. Did anyone else access the outline?

In the beginning when you say you're adding water that's already there and that's why it fans out... what do you mean? Did you add water to the paper before you painted it?

Any chance you can explain HOW to print the template? I can't figure it out - and this turtle was really difficult for me because I am NOT a very good sketch artist. Perspective and size are really an art in itself - but I still tried, even with my pencil sketching first and trying to trace downloaded blacklines of sea turtles on the web. I REALLY needed YOUR lines : )

where do you keep your paintings after you paint them?

do you have a traceable for this

Aren't sea turtles green and like a beige gradiant

I have watched you for a long time . Can we still find the sketches and reference photo? Thanks

What is the name of your website.

Hello, what kind of paper do you use?

What paints are used? Do we get the paints from you?

what is the name of your paper and your brush?

Are the liquid water colors thick or thin? Can tube paint be used instead?

Their "legs" are called flippers.

And I thought octopus plural is octopide or pods

Mine failed miserably 😭😭 My paper started showing through and the fibers were EVERYWHERE 😭

the nose markings look like a mustache

B

First

No captions? Deaf artists are not able to follow your tutorials 😢

Ummmmm… please tell me y’all at least had an emergency kit in the car?

wahoo shout to the Aussies! Totally appreciate the sharing and caring xx
