I would be so scared of a piece of paper that big!
Right
Maybe just start with the sketching then painting small areas. Your not painting big when your starting so you can get comfortable and happy
Maybe also paint along with her videos stoping as you work, it helped me gain more confidence as I went along doing new frontiers
Ack I need to reread before I post lol. I meant stopping the video while you are painting so you don’t hurry yourself
I love this idea!
My most encouraging and inspiring artist is Kristy Rice😻. Her name makes me smile. Love the open not- in- a -box approach. I am a painter now because of this lovely lady and never thought I could experience all the joy from what I have created so far💜💜. What a gift to give to people. I want to be able to make others feel the way she has impacted me. I also wonder if there is ever a way for me to show how much I appreciate what I have been able to learn from her and even others in her community.
This comment is the perfect way. Thank you 😘😘
Oh no....not me😂 Smaller the better for me!
Kristy, everything you do is fabulous.
😊 thank you
This is absolutely beautiful. Big and bold, elegant but edgy. Fabulous flower.
Thank you so much!
Kristy is so good at inspiring confidence, she vocalizes her thought process, it’s very helpful and makes so much sense.
Glad you think so!
That's why I watch her. She's like a psychiatric art therapist!
Looks amazing
Thank you so much!!!
I like doing big drawings no fear at all. The reasons you gave were right.
I’m glad you agree!!
Wow Kristy, this is gorgeous ❤️ I know I'm not ready for something big like this lol! Love love love this ❤️✝️🙏🏻
Why not? I mean really what makes you ready?
@@KristyRice , true that! Beginner watercolor artist first of all! But, your right! How much is the cost of that size of paper? Bucket list....❤️✝️🙏🏻
@@ReeflectionsI’m trying to recall but it’s Arches so likely around $10?
@@KristyRice thanks sweetie ~ ❤️
Again… you broaden my horizons with all the line art and mixed media permission. For me, after the peony my eye goes directly to the large leaf to the left. Such beautiful rich color!
😘😘😘
I loved that white acrylic trick and result
💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
Wow! You have so much talent, it's so fun to watch you paint. I think that you're truly gifted, not only as an artist but as a teacher. There are so many people trying to teach anything and everything on you tube and most of them know what they're doing but for someone who's trying to learn, what you say and the way you say it, makes all the difference. You have to have both the knowledge and the ability to communicate that knowledge and you do have both. Thank you. This painting is gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
Wow,this is a great video. There’s lots of videos out there painting large with acrylics.
It’s rare to see a video showing techniques on how to paint large with watercolours.
This has inspired me to attempt to pull out my large paper and try one more time with watercolours! Would love to see more similar content.
Glad it was helpful!
I love BIG- please do more.
I think I will!
I've done online paid classes for other mediums and the moment people have started, they always buy the smallest canvas they can. They are understandably intimidated by the largest canvases and yet they don't yet realise that larger is sometimes easier, as they have room to practice detail. There is a sweet spot for new artists I think. Obviously don't paint a wall, but it doesn't have to be tiny either.
It's why we give pre schoolers giant sheets of paper to paint on. It shrinks down as they get older and they can manage smaller paper. Yet as adults we sometimes need to realise this rule applies to us too. It's ok to go big and there will be less struggles often. You're just left with having fun and I'll also say, a larger canvas does take longer, and for me, that means more hours to enjoy it ❤
Well said!!
I am absolutely in LOVE with your painting 😍😍 gorgeous!!!
Thank you so much!!
💕 Love! You described me, cramming too much information in my head then ending up with that cup of coffee ☕. You are a blessing 😇
Hope this helps!!!
Loved this lesson! I've learned today not to be afraid to go darker! Just beautiful, Kristy!
Wonderful!
I love painting big it can be very freeing.
Yessss!
Wow, this is the best way I have heard painting large and be loose and just go beyond. This is beautiful! I hope that made sense ! You’re a great teacher and have inspired me.
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
My most favorite paintings take at least a week. I'm not a fast painter. It's those aha 💡 moments in the art journey when we figure out what works for us individually. I'm not able to flow like Kristi and make beautiful 😍 florals. I show up because Kristi inspires me to paint 🎨. Thank you for being your ❤
Thanks for sharing!!
You are one of the first artists i followed when i was learning to paint. You have clearly helped me come a long way. I must admit that i copy your work to unwind. My books are filled with your painting s that i have copied. This one is a vast lesson in big scape and detailing. Im definitely going to try it. Not sure how i can show how my work turn out. But its definitely a goal. Thank you ❤🎉
Keep going sounds like you’re having a blast!!!
Kristy, A Hollow is a place between two mountains or hills. Holler is an Appalachian twang on Hollow. However on Charmed, the Hollow was a bad thing that held magic!
Thanks!!
Wow! Love this vid for so many reasons!..that you didnt really plan before starting, that you explained your thoughts/decisions thru every step including the breaks you take. Ahas were focus on enjoying an area and not worry about problems it may create bc they can be fixed later and dont show up as much in a large piece, your use of the sprayer, and the concept of low contrast detailing. There is so much good stuff here! Gorgeous result, Kristy!! TY!!
Thank you so much!!
Soon I’ll be brave and try a bigger one, thanks Kristi love the lovely colourful peaches and pinks .😊
Appreciate you!!!
I love it!! My eye is actually drawn to the branch area
I find that dark and mysterious!
Oooh interesting!!
The layered upon layers just blows my mind. The brush sketching is another element I like. To me you’re the only person I follow who really goes deep with the layers. Others layer of course but there’s something so unique about your process. I’m a total fan.
Thank you so much!!
JUST BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is incredible. I hope to one day paint as beautiful as this!
Thank you so much 😀
This is so freaking beautiful!! I would love to try a large painting. I find I enjoy larger brushes much more and feel too limited on a smaller piece of paper. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge.
You’re very welcome!!
Absolutely Gorgeous 🤩❤️😊
Thank you!! 😊
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you! Cheers!
Gorgeous!!!😍 I really love how you can go in with just one sketch and then spontaneously develop the rest of it, and do a great job at it, too! I really struggle with what to add sometimes beyond the 'hero.' However, as you showed here, to heck with 'saving white' because it totally inhibits spontaneity, and can easily be added back. Having some good opaque watercolors or gouaches (and maybe even some acrylics like you had) on hand can really go a long way towards giving a watercolorist freedoms back that we otherwise lose. I have a number of gouaches that live almost exclusively inside their almost pristine tubes, and I keep thinking I need to start playing with them -and maybe even add a few of some secondary/mixed colors since mine are mostly primaries. Some color variety might persuade me to use them more. 🙂
Yes play!!!
Whaaat?!! I'm about to turn my brush loose!!! But 1st Gotta go to church!!!
😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰
17:09 Love, love, love your videos. I am so inspired by you. I bought your brushes, book and your paint pallet.
I've been binge watching your videos. I will be getting your other products soon.Thanks for all you do! 😁❤
Oh thank you!
❤
love your bold colors
Thank you!
Gorgeous!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful!!! 🤩
Thank you!!
Gorgeous
Thank you!!
Wow. Thank you
You are very welcome
My eye goes first to the center of the big peony. I think a lot of that is because of the yellow standing out in a very good way.
Makes sense! Thank you!!
I loved this! Thank you
Of course!!
Beautiful...
Thanks a lot 😊
Wow this is big! arches paper is so good isn't it? 😍😍
It really is!
It’s beautiful ❤
Thank you!!
Thank you Kristy, you are my eye brain connected. When looking at my painting at any point I now see and react differently (smarter, thank you ☺️) you have taught me to go with my flow
Wonderful!
Well, that was a journey! There were times when I thought, that’s never going to work! You pulled it off. Big, bold and beautiful. That makes me feel your joy! The peony and line work were the best parts for me. I’m certainly not ready for something that large…yet.
Basically how I feel everytime I paint!!
Amazing!! I love you style!! So inspiring!
Thank you so much!!
Make your happy accidents. This looks amazing. I am going to try this. I don’t have a paper that big. But I will try on my biggest paper I have. Which is scary to me and tag you along the way! Busybeahive will be part. The name!
Can’t wait to see!!!
So beautiful! I'd just been thinking it's time to go big! My kitchen table is just so small though....hmm. I just did a 15x15 which seemed large (but it's not really). Your pink peony is what pops for me, the rest in the cooler tones is beautiful and sets it off perfectly.
Thank you!!!
I'm finding small art is very difficult because of no room for good details & very little room for cool watercolor techniques. Bigger is better 😊
I get it!!
I have always painted big with my acrylic paintings. I have just started with watercolor and made myself purchase small sized papers. I am at the stage where I am just playing with the brushes in a journal. It is freeing to make "not pretty" in a journal.
I love this❤
So stunning! I wish that my gift was florals when I see the things that you do like this. But my gift instead is animals and for some reason I cannot make them look quite as beautiful on anything smaller than a 16 by 20😊. Whether it be in acrylic paint or pencil which everybody thinks I'm crazy to do a colored pencil piece in that size lol. Maybe I am but now my watercolor adventures are no smaller than 8 x 8 because for me the beauty is in the details.
Love hearing this
@@KristyRice that painting has this Georgia O'Keeffe feeling to it. I wish that I could afford to buy it from you so I can hang it in my bedroom above my bed it's so beautiful 🤩❤️❤️
👍👍👍
I am in love with your water container where did you get it?
Its her design. The li k to her store should be in the description
It’s my design and we release them a few times a year! Our best release is March 27th!
I'd love to paint big... but too scared to make a big-ugly!
All the more reason you need to grab that big sheet soon and make some ugly
I am introducing watercolor to my friends from my church group and I found this amazing video. Would it be okay if I showed your video to my friends as a demonstration?
Absolutely! I’d be honored! Jesus taught me everything I know about Joy❤️
@@KristyRice Thank you Kristy! Your book “How to Make Art for Joy’s Sake: Free-Spirited Watercolor” came today and I would love to show everyone how beautiful it is and maybe do one exercise with the group from your book, if you don’t mind? I will have both sets of your paint brushes to demonstrate how FABULOUS They are also ! Looking forward to it. 💕
When are you in the Netherlands. I'm in Amsterdam a few small streets from van Beek Art Shop...!
Ohhh we just left!
@@KristyRice you left Holland?
Replay. I feel like the flower is getting lost.
Do you have a FB group for people to share what they've created after being inspired by you?
I don’t!! But maybe I should!!!
This is so delicious!!!!! ✨🫶🏽
Thank you 😋
Help, please add the link to your contrast detailing video as I can’t find it
Thanks x
This is absolutely fabulous x
Here you go!! czcams.com/video/3N80LA87tu8/video.htmlsi=RQuzoCoGdf-yLn89
Hi Kristy. Love your videos. I bought an academy block and I love the paper but when I separate the paper it’s very difficult and tears my paper. The little tool they sent doesn’t help. Have you had this problem and have suggestions as to what I can do ?
Thanks so much and keep the videos coming!
Yes it can happen with that tool. Try a butter knife :)
Where is the contrast detailing video link? Am I overlooking it? I am reading through your book Free Spirited Watercolor and LOVE it and read the part about contrast detailing - would love to see the video too! ◡̈
I love working that big. Yea. What is your paper?
Arches :)
Please advise iro paper
Arches :)
Was this in watercolor paper or canvas?
??? Can't find Contrast Detailing video... Does it have a different name???
You are an excellent teacher! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
