For thirty years I’ve been wetting my watercolor pans one drop at a time from a straw. In two seconds you just changed my work process. “Spray them down.” Thank you!

Where have you been in my life of water coloring!? Im glad i have found you! You are so sweet and love the personality! 🌸 🍃 🎨 🖌

Hi Kristy, I wanted to tell you that I am sitting here with my "line" brush and I am just making lines, getting a feel for how much water and paint I need. I have cheap everything, paint, brushes, and paper, but I just made a beautiful eucalyptus spray, that I am quite proud of, for being a beginner. I love your style and your encouragement. I took an acrylic painting class and drawing class in college, and I loved them both. I have always loved to draw, so it was fun. I wish I had taken painting 2, because it was watercolor. Watercolor is an adventure for me and I am so happy I found your channel. You make it seem simple, and you take the stress off of my perfectionism, if that makes sense. I appreciate that more than you will ever know. I hate that part of me, being a perfectionist, especially, in my artwork. I am my biggest critic. I told my son that I hated being a perfectionist and he asked me why...he then proceeded to tell me all the good things about being a perfectionist. I had never really thought of it as a good thing, it was always negative, to me. Anyway, I want to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate you. I went through many years of depression and I felt good over the last few years, but it started creeping up on me again, and you have given me a little hope, not just through the painting, but through your encouraging words. ❤️🤗❤️ Thank you!!!

Dear Kristy...Thank you for being you. Thank you for all the good ideas and demos. God bless !

I will soon be 78 and have been painting about a year. You have given me life and freedom and joy. Thank you.

I have to say I usually don't see so many talented artists on KZfaq whose art I fully appreciate but yours is seriously amazing. Your pieces are very gorgeous

Thank you and God bless you for all sharing all your gifts and talents…you make me immediately want to grab my paint brush and make JoY 🤩

You point out what I miss sitting in plain sight...duh... kind reminders and intelligent demos...ty.

Thank you for the reminder that we move the arm, not the wrist when making curls, I really enjoyed this video, and advice.

You are an awesome artist teacher! So glad I found you! Beautiful work! Can't wait to try! Battling a leg Injury 10 stitches, Venous Stasis, etc. And Much more! Caretaking elderly parent but one day when I get time I pray I finally get to paint after many yrs ! Have Everything to paint with also acrylics tons of brushes must learn about types of watercolor paper though cause I never knew you must stretch it! But I do remember it buckles up 🤔

Oh my goodness..so lovely! I will try them out today….THANK YOU Kristy!

Love how you paint eucalyptus. You paint with such ease and your painting style is so pretty. Thank you.

Artists do it with talent.

This is so helpful!! I felt like I had flowers down to my liking but the leaves felt like i was stuck in elementary school. This was just what I needed.

I love that you are helping with composition! Thank you for sharing your skills.

Love watching you paint! Your exuberance is infectious! You make watercolor EXCITING!

I am definitely going to try playing with my leaf shapes for fun! Thanks Kristy

I want to try this. Thank you for the tutorial. I love water color paintings.

Love the variety of sizes and shapes to frame your flowers! Thank you for sharing your positivity and talent….love love love tendrils!

Absolutely loved the methods. Up until now I didn't know what to fo with the dagger brush. Loved all the styles.

Brilliant! Use arm versus wrist for tendrils- magic!

Love, Love, Love. Your art and teaching style are amazing.

I have such trouble with leaves. I finally bought your brushes, and am looking forward to practicing using the dagger brushes.

Love the tendrils! Actually, hmmm…I guess I love them all! I really enjoyed this video, thank you!

I never knew what they meant by “Movement” in watercolor, now I do. You use the greenery as arrows to move the eye through the painting. We follow the curlicues of leaves, swirls of petals and other interesting foliage or flowers. It really does give movement and energy to the work. I learned a lot, and I’m an intermediate watercolorist.

oh heck I'm trying them all. Love it Kristy!

Gorgeous. Can't wait to try!

Loved this. Going to try them all.😀

Love all of them and your style of teaching

Love the way you elaborated and explained the steps...beautiful!❤

Your paintings are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your artistic flair.

Wow you make it easier,I never liked watercolours however now I will give them another go,thankyou

I gave you a boop as the video started because I KNOW I'm going to learn something!

You have the best energy and your passion for the craft is just oozing from you! This holds my interest and sparks my desire to try not just watch. I look forward to binging on your knowledge base. 😁

I love the leaf clusters! Especially the "tendrills"!

I’m going to try all of these techniques!! Great video.

I am going to try all of them they are so creative and beautiful so glad i found you.🎨👍

Your brushes have made a huge difference in the way I paint leaves! Your use of color is amazing and also what I need to practice. I think I need to become more spontaneous. This video was awesome! Thank you!!!

I love this video! I think this will help my paintings immensely!

Seriously I love ur works, art and ur vibing colour around on sheet. It's mesmaraising my eyes😍😍😍😍

i agree! Kristy .You are very good at teaching, and your art is gorgeous! :)

This is so true, I always love my flowers but then sometimes my leaves are just meh, they really make the painting look complete! Love the way you paint, glad I found this channel!

Great video Kristy!! I am so glad you addressed the tendrils!! I love that look, it reminds me of calligraphy. Not that I know how to do it, yet! I think the tendrils just add a pop to your paintings! Thanks as always for your detailed videos!❤

Everyone is commenting on your lesson Kristy (what good students) but I want to comment on your exquisite painting. Stunning colours (bet they dont come cheap🤭) and design. Knock out stuff!!!! Beautiful!!! Im new here tonight but Im now subscribed...🤗 I know I am going to have to watch everything at least 2-3 times because you talk fast and impart so much information but I'll get there..again thankyou for your very useful lessons, making everything look so easy (I have not conquered fine or continuous lines as yet)...cheers from Western Australia 🥰🤗🦘🦘🦘

Inspirational!!! Thank you for you positive energy and talent!

I feel like my leaves are always the “same ole , same ole”! I have a hard time getting creative with them. This was so helpful for new ideas! I’m headed back to my art room for practice!

You are an excellent teacher/ artist!!!

I am a self taught artist Acrylics I have been terrified to try watercolor But your techniques and personality give me encouragement to try! Thanks!

😱 Gah !!!! So beautiful !!! 😍 🍃☘🍀🌿🍃🍀☘🌿

I paint with acrylic, not watercolor, but loved watching this! You are the Queen of Green! That second painting didn't even need flowers - the foliage is lovely by itself. Some great tips here that will translate to acrylic. I'll subscribe!

This was so wonderful. I've always hated leaves!!! I need to practice

You had me at “ready to rumble” !

What a treat! Thanks so much!

That brush! I neeeeeeeed it!

Im gonna try those tendrils and wisps, first. Love them❤

I think these leaves would look wonderful paired with your idea about a pencil in wet paint. I did it the other day with a white colored pencil in a big blue lead and it looked soooo fun and sketchy!

So beautiful! You are so talented 💐

Loved this tutorial, thank you x

I only just discovered your channel and I love it 🥰 Great brush strokes and color to die for ❣️❤️

Wow! I was struggling with the daggar brush so I switched to the cat tongue brush nd it went much better for me. I love your brushes and they really are making a difference for me. Thank you!

Kristy, you are a hoot!! In one of the comments below, you said you worry if you're "just too extra" but I say, keep it coming!!! I love your style! Watching your videos and learning your tips & techniques has been extremely helpful! Thank you!

Art beside the point ... you are wonderful. Sub & binge weekend. Painting (ish) for many years but always a tense exercise so "blendy blend' absolutely grabbed me. I'm putty in your voice. Ready for re moulding, dahhhlin'.

This was just recommended to me, I'm so glad it was! I'm now a new subby 🤗 can't wait to start my binge watch!

Love her!!

OMG! Your paintings are fabulous.

Can you make a video about how to use these technics in a composition with the roses for example from start to finish? I loved the technics you showed and would like to grasp them better

I paint in acrylic and oil and would like to add watercolor to my mediums. Looking forward to trying your tutorials.

Excellent!!!

Omg, you are an angel

I am getting your paint brushes on Monday i am so excited to use them. I will try them on these exercises. Still continuing to practice every day with what i have to work with. It is therapeutic for me.😊
