Thanks to all of you for your patience in waiting for another in my Watercolor Flowers Series! This one was filmed a while ago, but it’s been sitting in the queue waiting for its moment to shine!
Video
This time I’m working on looser watercolors – trying out some masking fluid, and just letting that paint flow where it wants to go! I shot this video a while ago, so I’ve had more experience with watercolor and papers since then.
I think I could get into this watercolor thing – how about you?
Each time I practiced painting the same watercolor flowers, different things happened – so you can come out with all kinds of looks by just letting the water and paint mix in different ways!

Sandy, these cards are gorgeous! (I will be watching your video later in the day.) I’m excited to see how you made the flower centers in particular. Mine always look too neat–unrealistic. I love the vibrancy of your colors and how “loose” your flowers look! These cards remind me of those expensive sets you see in a museum gift shop! Thank you for always sharing you know-how and gift with us!

Beautiful watercolors, Sandy! I miss my Dick Blick stores for art supplies – great selection and helpful staff. I was spoiled with 2 nearby when we lived in California. Now it would be a long trip to visit one. But their web site is good too.
Sandy,
Love your videos. For this video, watercolor flowers, you make the technique of water coloring look easy. Beautiful colors and awesome cards.
Not experienced you say???? This looks WC perfect to me! It is beautiful and I appreciate the lesson so much. Love the colors you chose and I agree it is definitely “artsy”! I just love to watch you create!
The cheerfulness of the flowers made me smile. And coupons? Three cheers for coupons!

These are so beautiful. I love watching you paint.
So simple but so beautiful!
Oh my goodness! I loved seeing how you did this!!! I need some of that masking fluid!!
LOVED watching you paint today, Sandy! Beautiful flowers! ♥
Beautiful as ever Sandy!
They both turned out great. Loving the watercolor. TFS
Thank you for the watercolor lesson. I am liking the misket more and more. 🙂
Hi Sandy, Will Dick Blick carry the Kuretake watercolors in store?
I’ll be asking, but those are more likely to be just in crafty stores.
Lovely!

Artsy fartsy indeed! It is beautiful Sandy!
Nice!!!!
