Let's paint a loose watercolor flower. This Watercolor tutorial will go in close to realtime while I walk through everything I was thinking about while painting this flower. I used techniques like wet on wet painting, sketching, edge control, water control and watercolor washes to achieve a fun loose watercolor flower and bee.

Wow...amazing! I learned about you through Emma Jane Lefebvre.

[@beverlydevriesburrows3097]

I like the longer detailed teachings.

[@pinktoes56]

You made one little balm flower into a work of art. Lovely

[@dannydrwing]

Thanks!

[@pambrown9523]

[@annevickers3307]

Wonderful!

[@susanstrickland6550]

Love when we see your reference. Love your style

[@ramblingtwitproductions1546]

I'm really happy I found you! I just started doing water colour as a way to destress and I never understood how different tones interact to make something more vibrant. You make it very easy to understand 😊

[@dannydrwing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carlanderson6205]

You really know your stuff. Very helpful. I like the split screen presentation and commentary on what you did. I haven't seen that before. I love the purple underpainting. I'm gonna do that! You have a great face and really nice speaking manner.

[@dannydrwing]

Lovely

[@sweethomes674]

Excellent explanations and techniques 😊

[@julesoxana]

Love the colors❤

[@raffaeleprosser6310]

I LOVE the final result!
Quick question: if you wanted to do the background too, it would have been better to paint it before the flower, or is it fine to add it after too?

[@dannydrwing]

Depends on the subject?m, But usually you can add after, just have to be careful with the edges

[@lindamowrer8507]

You are brilliant! Thanks for the insightful tutorial

[@tavenchristensen3157]

I like this painting a lot.
It’s not an easy one.
Painting big petals are fairly easy to learn, but this type of flower is mega detailed.
Good job!
- I doubt that I could do it without wc pencils. Lol

[@dannydrwing]

It can be tricky!

[@jacquiebeads9649]

Thank you! Very helpful tutorial.

[@carolbenson6524]

Going to try starting out my paintings like you do! So interesting!

[@susanstrickland6550]

Would you do some more large flowers and plants😊

[@reneebrady1333]

Lovely! What brand do you use?

[@miss.cellanous8610]

Is this considered under painting?

[@berolinastrassmann]

Thanks for this, it is beautiful, loose and lively. Your choice of leaving this without background gives this more volume, the right decision. I like the commentary -and wow, this took 1 h. Time lapse can be tricky. I am curious to learn more about your colour choices as well. Some unsolicited and well meant feedback: I find having a three way divided screen somewhat distracting. I would prefer a bigger area for the painting and the reference photo instead. I find that having a section where the artist includes him/herself doing the voice over while painting does not really add much to the process itself. Instead, an opening and closing segment where you offer an introduction or a closing statement might be another way to keep you in the picture (pun intended) and maintain focus on the painting. I appreciate the time and effort it takes to film and am ever so grateful for these videos, as a recent subscriber to your channel.

[@dannydrwing]

This is super helpful feedback! I want to keep it somewhat more lively, and it feels like pure voice over can get stale. But I’ll keep experimenting!
Thanks for subscribing, I appreciate it!

[@berolinastrassmann]

@@dannydrwing Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am now going through your back catalogue and getting lots of ideas for new paintings. Thanks again!

[@dannydrwing]

Awesome! I’m always open to suggestions as well! :)
