Paint an Abstract Floral in Watercolour with Angela Fehr
Vložit

- A light touch and a minimum of fussing is key to a fresher approach in watercolour. In this demonstration I use two colours to create a fluid and expressive first layer, adding negative shape, additional colour, salt and spatter to define the painting and create the impression of an arrangement of lush flowers.
Try out an online class for more flower painting inspiration! I recommend either Colour Drenched Florals: learn.angelafeh...
or Lovely Loose Florals: learn.angelafeh...
Both courses will help you paint flowers with more expression and style.

I'm inspired by your painting style, your so helpful commentary, and your watercolor philosophy. I'm very happy to have found your tutorials, thank you so much.
I love your light touch. Beautiful.
Paint less and look more... wow! great truth! I take it for myself, just what I need.
Love this - love the painting, the process and the final message that it’s OK to risk “ruining” a painting by taking chances. We can always try again. ❤
So clearly demonstrated and spoken. Thank you thank you for not having music playing at the same time.
Nice composition and color choices.
I’m going to try. Thank you so much. I learned a lot just watching you.
I love the clear detailed way you explain basic stuff, which makes SUCH a difference to a painting.
Angela thank goodness I found you..been looking for a long time for a water color artist that has that soft look..I’m a fan already!😊
Thanks, Angela. So nice of you to keep us going even though you're on vacation.
Fantastic! Thank you so much.
Lovely!!
The way you paint and tell us what you think is very helpful. Thanks.
that is beautiful...I've been holding back and being very careful ..this teaches me to get out of my own way when painting.

I really like your style
You make me want to run out and buy the paints, buy all of the watercolor paints! Gorgeous.
Thank you so much for doing two back to back videos on abstract watercolor painting, love them. Hope you are enjoying your vacation. ---Surma
This video comes just in time to comfort me...I was beginning to think that watercolor was too tough when in fact it was my way of applying the colors that was not what it should have been...I did oil long time ago and I think I am trying to use the same technique: covering all the sheet with colors!!! once again..Thank you Angela!
Oh Angela! you are so kind! thank you...I won't give up I promise!
Im watching a marathon of your videos. Wanted to give this a thumbs up but I already did a year ago!
So beautiful. Thankyou. Daniel Smith watercolours are too expensive here in the UK so will try this with Winsor and Newton.
This solves a a problem I have been struggling with. I have been way too heavy handed. Thanks.
Great tips--I love watching the flow and seeing what colors and effects come out of the paint.
It's great how you can create softness with the wet on wet technique. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice!
Hello Angela. Not sure if you ever look back at older comments. I really enjoy your videos. I especially like ones like this where you talk through your techniques and process in creating a piece. I am catching up on some of your past videos that pop up “recommended” on my home page. Thanks!
Angela, you are so inspiring. I have learned to much from you, in these very generous free videos, and from your in-depth on-line courses. Thank you!!
Interesting technique 👍
It’s like a meditation.
Thank you for the tips Angela, I have the habit of brushing into the paper.
Oh, I love this, Angela. Thank you!
Gorgeous painting and colors are so pleasing to the eye. I can't wait to try an abstract watercolor.
Is an amazing video!
Thank you, Angela, for sharing all you knowledge
Beautiful Angela you are so inspiringxx
You paintings are beautiful - a hard technique to teach as you have to know what the paint is going to do and use your knowledge base of flower shapes! Thank you
So beautiful! I can't wait to get better at these techniques! Thanks for the instruction and inspiration!
Thank you for showing your amazing, light technique. The results are beautiful. You have a gift for seeing possibilities - really the essence of creativity. I will watch this video many times.
Thank you for sharing Angela !
You painted over the kitty! lol I thought for sure you saw it.. I love your technique so happy I found you!
Thank you Angela so much..you make learning so easy. I love all you do and you inspire me to try your ideas
Whispers of colour - the power of a light touch! Thank you Angela, I have just learnt so much from you.
I'm learning so much from you Angela! I ended up buying my first Daniel Smith after watching you use Moonglow! I HAD to give it a try! :-D
so wonderful!! I think it will take time for me to see what is in the abstract. Thank you for sharing your wonderful craft!!
You've inspired me! Thank you! 🙂
I really love this and will give it a try.......
Interesting painting on the wall as well! I have signed up for several courses, and am learning techniques of wet on wet slowly but showing improvement. Your demo and instruction is so helpful!
Love your teaching and sharing!!!
Incredible. You make it look so easy, but it really isn't. Goreous!
Thank you for the clear explanation incase of loose watercolor.
Love it magic
Beautiful demonstration!
Beautiful.
Loved this! Jonquils and forsythia are blooming all around us in the Smokies now and I'm in the beginnings of a loose abstract floral. This was just the instruction and inspiration I needed. Hope spring and warmer weather is not far for you:)
...annnnd... I signed up for Lovely Loose Florals! Yay!!
This was great, thank you Angela.
Thanks for another wonderful lesson. I've been trying to work loosely and softly but still find that I apply too much pigment from the get go. I need to learn some patience and become more contemplative with my painting. You're a terrific teacher!
Great watercolour Angela! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Angela.....really nice
Love your nails. Thank you for sharing.
I love your palette--it's so well-loved! Thank you for this video, it was very helpful!
Hi Angela. Thank you for all your classes. I particularly like the loose floral,and it happens that my two favorite colors are Mayan blue and moon glow. Very helpful teaching. I'm new to water color and have found your classes to be the most helpful. Clear teaching. I've also used your wood mounting idea and love how it looks. Unfortunately arches blocks measurement don't match premade wood blocks w the exception of 9x12. I'm asking a carpenter friend to make 7x 10 and 10x 14. Rita Largman.
Wonderful tecnique!!!
Thank you Angela. this is lovely. love the looseness.
Very nice
Beautiful way of painting, so calming too... I like so much that combination of colors and this mix of different techniques on your paint. Thank you for sharing ! (and for the sub-titles ;))
... inspiring ... again ... thanks
Thank you this is really beautiful
Enjoyed watching this video, thank you Angela. 💞
Great video Angela! 😆 A beautiful use of the DS primatek. I will be giving this a try with my primateks. TFS 😃
Never know how to go out with filling of watercolor. I soft side of watercolor! Thank you
Love your style! So beautiful, thank you Angela!
Love these tutorials and all of your classes. Thank you Angela.
Yup, who needs pedals if you’re going downhill, i think brakes- even small ones, 😆 Salt! Great idea!
thank you for another great demo!
Красиво! ❤
Hello 😀 I love your videos and the way you explain. It is a pleasure to watch you paint. I see you are using a number 10 escoda rigger. I was wondering what sizes of escoda rigger brushes ideally would be needed. I think 3 or 4 different sizes of this brush would be nice but I don't know which ones to take. Do you have a suggestion please? Thank you for your videos, I wish you a nice day.
Thanks
Absolutely magical...happening right before my eyes!
Thank you!!! I am in the beginning of transitioning from acrylics to water color. I am guilty of trying to add way too much detail. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting it but I have to relax and let it flow instead.
The cool thing about watercolor is I can glaze on lightly and do it as many times as I wish to get as dark , rich and vibrant as I want. Don't need to do it all in one go. I love your mind set to get out of our own way and just do it. The whole point for me is to have fun. I have a lot of pigments too and they all work differently. Are you using 300lb watercolor paper? What press type?
Thank you.
Lovely! What is your recommended paper please?
Angela, thank you. I think you are a great teacher. I am stuck in my learning with not being a good drawer. I suppose I start using too much paint which is totally ruining the painting, in particular, me not drawing well. At times I do beautiful things. I suppose I am just not yet there, need more doing. I suppose you´re bringing out the problem in this video: doing to much, pressing the brush too much, covering up all the white.
which one is best for abstract painting, gouache or watercolor?!
I'm intimidated! What kind of salt do you use for texture? I do love a negative space and dont feel you have to fill the paper with colour. Beautiful piece!
Hey hi great tutorial video, just the sort of I wanted to see. Question: What king of paper do you suggest to use that absorbs water with delay... cold or hot press ?
Hi Angela,this too is something I struggle with. I want to be perfect every time and I know that isn't in the realm of reality. It takes great humility to be willing to take the risk of failing, even when we know it's the only way to learn. I am grateful that you spoke of using multi-pigmented paint. I live near D.S. and have seen all the various blends made there so I always feel a bit strange when someone speaks of only using "single pigment paints," as though it was the golden rule of watercolor. I love your use of these precious paints and the loose style you obtain...........and want so badly to be able to learn this........Practice, I know. I do have another question. What kind of brush are you using with the green handle and extremely long hair. It isn't a rigger and I don't think I've seen one before although it resembles the strippers I've seen around. None are as large as yours that I know of. Thanks for the demo. It was great.
Wow very informative.... Beautiful art with beautiful artist.... But when i use too much water it creates some patches... Maybe my paper is not suitable.... Which paper did you used in this video angela??
100% cotton paper is always going to help you get a better flow in your watercolor. I use a variety of brands like Arches, Saunders, Fabriano, Indigo, Hahnemuhle.
@@angelfehr ok, i use brustro brand 25% cotton maybe that's why i am getting those patches....so do you remember which paper brand did you used in this video?
Which paper are you using here?
Hi Angela I have just watched your Video and am wondering is there any system that you use to arrange your paints in the palettes.
❤
Angela, my paper dries very quickly, I live in a very dry climate. I'm wondering if it would help to put a damp tea towel below the paper. any ideas?
una question the paint daniel smith tube has label sticker o is different a buy ebay paint daniel smith has sticker label a think is fake
Thank You....Lovely
Where I can find the video on the January 15, we are january 18 and it said it is not available?
awesome painting....how you do like this
👌😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
How did it finally end up? Just curious.
I keep searching for the perfect pallette, lots of wells and a large mixing area. Where do you get your pallettes Angela?
I just looked it up on amazon.com and it was $6.30, a really good deal. Then I compared it with amazon.ca and they want $63.94 for the exact same palette! Yikes!
