    I always thought you had to have talent to draw..ALWAYS! About 6 years ago i realized that i had been misinformed from kindergarten!! Now one in my education had ever taught us how to use or find creativity. We had art...but everyone knows elementary art class is a joke. I TAUGHT MYSELF WITH CZcams AND IVE NEVER BEEN MORE FULFILLED!! please listen to kristy...shes a brilliant And loose teacher that knows how to have fun!

      @RendaJane Před rokem +2

      My kids always assumed I could draw. I assumed I could not and had no idea why they assumed I could. They were correct. Lol.
      My youngest demanded I draw and paint a dinosaur on her high top purple Converse.
      It turned out she was correct.
      It turned out great! I was shocked. She said “you’re weird Mommy. I don’t why you say that.”
      She’s 28 now. She still thinks I can draw. I still question it.

  • @barbarasmith73
    @barbarasmith73 Před 2 lety +19

    Kristy, I have always been terrified of sketching being told as a kid I can’t draw! Brought me down to I think I can do this! Will be starting on these flowers tomorrow and looking forward to it. I’d love to see them put together in a composition. Will be fun to see how far apart I’ll be! Love you girl, keep on painting :)

  • @dalewilliams4359
    @dalewilliams4359 Před 2 lety +2

    Wow! You were right, Kristy! It was indeed the most important video I have watched in a long time! I love color, and I love flowers and art. But I am just beyond awful. So I collect paint and brushes and paper, but put off using them, because I fear another dismal art session. I have never thought of it as just play time with no outcome. That is a great attitude to take on!

    • @KristyRice

    @J3nnycat Před 11 měsíci +1

    I’m coming around fast to not caring about pencil showing on a watercolour painting. It used to really bug me for some silly reason, but now I’m loving it 🙂💖

  • @deborahthomas1617

  • @jay-el-bee
    @jay-el-bee Před rokem

    Sketching out that hydrangea was FUN! Never thought I'd be able to create something even close to resembling an actual hydrangea..... but here I am, killing it! Lol!!
    Your instruction style is exactly what I have been hoping to find, whether I initially knew it or not. You make the process so easy to understand that it actually feels achievable - even for a newbie like me. I absolutely LOVE flowers, and until now, I never thought I'd have success recreating them on paper with my own two hands. This video changed my mind. Thank you!

  • @paulamoore7525
    @paulamoore7525 Před rokem +1

    Through my introduction to watercolor, I have found satisfaction in sketching. You have offered a technique that gives me more control through the pencil with the freedom in the watercolor. A combination I can't wait to use.

    @gilashroot8697 Před rokem

    Love you, your channel, and your videos. You give art its personality. I am sorry. I have no idea what you mean by "making comic smiles", but you Peony/Rose looks so amazing. Please give another way of expressing the shape. So, so beautiful. Jazza often talks about line weight, but does not explain when, where, or why to use line weight. However, as I just mentioned, you give everything from watercolours to lines personalities. I absolutely love it because I never saw this no matter who else told me. I only am starting to see it with you.
    Thank you ❤.
    You are 100 percent correct wedding magazines are great for florals and composition. Thank you for pointing this out.

    Hi Kristy! Really loving this video. I enjoy how you break things down into shapes, this makes it so much more relaxing to sketch. Because I am a reformed perfectionist, or should I say recovering perfectionist I am drawn to your positive and encouraging ways. I'm so grateful that art has helped me tremendously with this and you my dear are the icing on the cake. Thank You with all my heart
