This was more than art. Your voice …your good energy…you should do art therapy. I feel better just after watching this
Thank you so much for your kind words!
I feel worse lol ~ She's so annoying
@@studio54studiowhat on earth about her is annoying? You need her positive energy and peace more than others here lol
I'm a 73 y o retired teacher who always worked with acrylics but not once have I tried watercolors. So, I got brave and bought a pallet and brushes but they just sat there x 2 months. Today was my day! And I was blessed to find you! I'm no longer skittish about this medium and will follow you! Thank you! ❤
Wonderful to hear this! Welcome!
60yo complete non artist here. Bought my first watercolour kit today and your video just made me want to dive right in & give it a red hot try. Amazing! 💙
Oh well that is the best news I’ve heard all day!
Me Too!
I’m not new to your channel or to watercolor, but I haven’t seen this video before. My goodness, you are the goddess of zen. You’re the Mr. Rogers of painting. Thank you! Plus, everything was beautiful.
I'm pretty sure Bob Ross has been reigning "Mr. Rogers of painting" champ for about 40 years now, and, despite him being dead, I somehow doubt he's going to give it up easily.
I am a70 yr old lady and looking to add some creativity to my day. Love your video! Inspired to just try this and explore color! Thank you SO much❤️
Go for it!
Watercolor is my therapy. All I have to do is sit down and start to paint and all cares recede and my inner child comes out to play. Thank you for the lessons. I'm enjoying your channel so much.
Wonderful isn't it??
I have a dissociative disorder so I’m pretty sure her voice and happiness and encouragement just coaxed out a child in me and I’m bawling like a baby. Gonna grab my paints now… 😂
I painted watercolors since age of 6 and won many prizes till high school every year. Then I did a bot of oil painting, even Bob Ross style taught at my local hobby lobby. Left painting altogether and got into paper crafting, junk journaling, cards the works lol. I so miss water colors but strangely feel intimidated now. This video is making me want to get back into it. Bought an inexpensive set not long ago. Your voice is so soothing!! Feels like a yoga teacher guiding us gently! Txs for inspiring us ❤
At 93 l am again excited with watercolor after spending winters in Florida at various watercolor classes. You have peaked my enthusiasm! Love what l’ve seen but seek more knowledge. Botanical flowers, landscape, seascapes, drawing people’s homes, cabins, cat memorial. Right now it’s flowers.
Will continue to watch you if l can find you. Saw your painting from beginning to end the other day. Learned a lot. Maxine
I'm so glad to hear that!
wtf how u still alive
@@NOTLM10_with that attitude of yours is NOT how one lives long. Learn to be kind and appreciative or at least keep quiet.
@@rkug777 didnt order a cup of YAPPachino
I absolutely love this lady, lol. Her enthusiasm is so infectious
I know I'm new to the water color game but the words "that simple small moment holds so much power" OMG! You are 1000% correct
I wish you could hear my kids water coloring and using all your words like, “this is so satisfying!” Thanks so much for such an encouraging demonstration
Hahaha love it!!
🤭
I searched for “beginning watercolor” You weren’t the top of the list but, your smile grabbed me.
I started playing your video and “I was put on this earth to teach you watercolor.” I believed you and was brought to tears. I need YOU today. I watched the whole video. I’m leaving this comment and then going to grab my paints.
Thank you. Thank you for being here today. I need you to know that I needed you today.
Wow, thank you! I’m glad you watched and are giving yourself permission to try 😍
@@KristyRice
I rather use paint pens.
This process is too sloppy
This was like a therapy session
Awww thanks!
The advice to spray the paints is the single best thing I've heard all year as this art journey has unfolded for me! THANK YOU!
I wish to thank you darling. My Mother died one week ago and I wasn't sure if I should go to my college wc painting class......it begins in a few days. You helped me to make up my brain and heart.❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m glad you found a touch of peace here
Thank you so much. I'm teaching a beginning watercolor class this summer to 12 year olds. Just basics and color wheel, and I wanted to find something they could paint and walk away with. This video reminded me that it doesn't have to be a "thing". My biggest problem is finding a good brush that I can afford to buy for 20 students. Is there a dagger out there that you know of? Yes, you have a convert. I bought a Ro & Co travel dagger, and it does almost everything all by itself. Your channel has taught me so much about why I paint, not just how. My mantra is "Find joy in all you do and bring joy to all you come in contact with." ❤
As I sit here hand sewing grandchild halloween costume, I just discovered you. Have always loved watercolor paintings, and over my 83 years have done many 'trys', always tossing aside.
But you've presented in such an encouraging way...I'm going to buy some paper, drag out my brushes and paints and give it another go! I'll be watching this video again, and again. You are an inspiration! Thank you!
So grateful for your words!
I was looking for a Beginner tutorial and Now I have found it. Thank You. I shall return!!🎨
Wonderful!
I'm 66 and just started working with watercolor after 45 years. I started watching your tutorials last night. I've watched many others but yours are undoubtedly the best!
Wow, thank you!
I see lots of similar comments, and I'm not surprised, but I just have to say THANK YOU! I got a "beginners" water color book from my library and dood lost me on page one talking about supplies. THIS makes me feel confident to dive in and gives me direction. So thank you.
Wonderful!
I just LOVE the way you think and speak. I was expecting this to be serious and..proper... boy was I wrong!😂🤣 thanks!
You’re welcome 😊
I started watercolor painting this past year, doing so, so I can teach my patients! I LOVE it! This is by far the best "Beginners lesson" I have encountered. I work with inmate who are serving their last six months of their sentence at the substance use disorder treatment facility where I work! It's so rewarding to see the grown men learning and enjoying watercolors. They are able to express, create and even get in touch with their inner child. It's also great to have emotional painting for them. Some go on to do their own painting outside of "Creative Expressions" Group Therapy!
Like the Bob Ross of watercolor. Soothing and informative.
😘😘
The highest of compliments!
Okay... I don't take the time to comment too often. But you did it..! And thank you... Inspired, years ago my father quite his job to become an artist @ 50 yrs old or so. He became quite successful....I recently brought home 75 of his paintings. Many of them are now hanging on the walls of my family. I've always wondered if I had the same talent. Guess what...? lol. I'm gonna find out cause I've just binged your videos starting with this one. No more procrastinating. A huge thank you for the content. Painting starts now... I'll let you know how it goes.
Please please let me know how it goes!
I have to say, this lady has a beautiful soul! 🥰
😘😘
I chose your video from the millions, and I was hooked from the start when I saw the orb cross the screen as you proclaimed your reason here on earth. I look forward to watching all your videos, as well as looking for more of your spiritual helpers. Reading these wonderful comments from all the budding artists your have touched, I thank you for doing what you do and doing it with such supportive intention.
I never saw the orb until you mentioned it!!!
WOW...a beautiful lesson and a meditation all in five minutes. I'm so happy I found your channel and I can tell by the comments that you have created a community of like-minded hearts. I tend to live in my head and realized I'm off balance so I decided to give myself the gift of learning to paint watercolor art. Thank you for sharing what you were put on this earth to do!
Welcome!
Bro that intro punped me up :)) omg
This video, I'm like 800x happier this morning after this five minutes. This is absolutely magic. When I am upset, I'm gonna get back here and watch you paint and explain :)
I am new to watercolor, well art, actually. Just bought my first kit and supplies and am a student sponge. Everything I can learn, I am in. You are so soothing and relaxing. Thank you for creating this space.
You are so welcome!
Watercolors are just absolutely magical ✨ and so are you! Thanks for the reminder that it’s fun to just play with our paints ❤️
This is actually helping me teach my first watercolor color class in honor of World Watercolor Month. Thank you!!!
Oh wow wonderful!!
You've turned this into my therapy! I think I'm going to cancel my next appointment and just come here into CZcams'sville so I can "paint" with you😉... you've just sanded me a whole LOTTA MONEY!
Not a replacement for therapy for sure but an enhancement??
@@KristyRice maybe so but... it's a whole lot cheaper 🙂
As someone that had to learn art on their own as a kid, and didn’t get a lot of encouragement, hearing your kind and positive words moves me to tears and inspires me to keep practicing. 🖤
I’m so glad to hear it :)
I showed it to my niece and she finally could learn how to play with these colors, thanks! :)
That's great!
I've always wanted to learn how to do watercolor. Here's a start.
Indeed. Welcome:)
This makes me want to cry.......you get it you understand the JOY
It took me a long time, and I know my joy will be tested many times again in my life but I’ve come a long way
I just bought my 6 year old daughter a watercolor kit and thought I'd first learn how to use them before I explain it to her, thank you for this video.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much! I’m writing a book of short stories and I wanted to water color the drawings but I’ve never done it before, thank you again!!
Oh how wonderful!!
I have a cold, I watched this and I didn’t cough once. Thank you❤️
That is too sweet!! Feel better :)
You're such a delight Kristy! Thanks for being you. :-)
Thanks so so much for saying and for being here!!!
Kristy: you are such an inspiration; wish i could have you sitting right next to me! I have never even touched a paintbrush, can't draw a happy face, and have ZERO skill... but you make me feel I might be able to do this. I have ordered your brushes, water cup, and paints. CAN'T WAIT till they arrive so I can try this. Thank you for the loving kindness you show us newbees!
Wow thank you for the support and please reach out as you’re working through things! I’m here to help!
I've been an artist for many years and always avoided watercolor. This video just made me cry. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
MY PAINTING CLUB STARTS IN 6 MINUTES SO BLESS YOU FOR MAKING THIS 5 MINUTES
😘😘
Oh please please magic lady, will you do a video on the joy of laundry and vacuuming?! If you could make me feel like this for those things my life would be unbelievable! Fantastic video! I want to watercolor my walls and my children!❤
Go for the walls and the children, do bigger loads of laundry less often! And never iron!! lol! Happy painting!
I’m brand spankin’ new, and wanted to make my husband an anniversary card for 32 yrs of marriage. Right off the bat you had me! I don’t know what the heck I’m doing, but I have an elementary school watercolor set, some brushes, a glass of water, a spray bottle and a watercolor paper book. Just found them around the house. Going for it! :). Thanks for your exuberance. You’re such a great person!
My granddaughter is 5yrs old and did this video with you!
She did amazing!
And she loved you!
And so did I !
Very good and relaxing instruction:)
Oh I LOVE hearing this!!!!
Painting watercolor and watching people paint watercolor makes me so happy. You are the best teacher. I hope to be a watercolor teacher like you. You have no idea how much your videos make my day and bring me so much joy. I hope to be a watercolor illustrator and watercolor teacher one day just like you.💙💚💛🧡❤️
I agree with Marsha Tompkins. I'm new to watercolor but I've been an artist for 6 years. I don't claim to be a professional and other videos I have watched showed how to paint professional. Which is fine for those but I needed your video. Thank you so much. Now I'm not stressed. 😢❤❤
It’s actually that exact crayola palette my son got on his 5years anniversary gift that made me want to try watercolor as a new hobby 😆
Hello Kristy
You have the best motivational spirit and a beautiful attitude!
You are very special in your teachings!
All your watercolor exercises are stress free and fun.
You make it easy .
Your work is beautiful and I am enjoying both your books.
Thanks 😊
Oh wow thank you!!
If your intent was to get me to pick up my watercolors again, you succeeded. They're been pent up in a dark closet for years. Thank you for the encouragement.
They belong in the light! Wahoooo!!
Yes, Kristy is an amazing motivator! I have taken a few months off after only painting a year and it's like starting over! Thanks for sharing, a California Gramma ❤️
You are absolutely put on this Earth 🌎 to teach us watercolor 🎨 😊You're our Art 🎨 Angel 😇 !
Wow, thank you
I was making a list of what I want… and came across the desire to paint. Your video came up first. Perfect !! Your approach, your encouragement. You were born to teach how to paint! Thank you
Awesome! Thank you!
this was the most aesthetically pleasing tutorial. I bought a watercolor kit yesterday! I cant wait to try it tomorrow! Watching the rest of your vids to prepare!
Have fun! So glad you’re here!!!
she had me in the firdt 9 seconds girl fate brought me here HELP!!!!!! i havent painted in 10 years
Welcome new friend :) You’re here for a reason!
I dont know anything about the water colours....but your video gave me the confidence that I can do it. Your guidance force is ZEN.I am gonna learn from your videos. Love U
Sooo glad you’re here!!!! Let’s do this!!
Hi! Have always been interested in paintings and watercolours but even in school, no one was serious about it (not even the teachers) but now I wish I had put some effort on it as it’s a great hobby to cultivate. Your video makes me want to pick up a brush and start learning
I tried this while I was all hyper because of no sleep and too many asthma meds, and although I didn't calm down myself, I found your voice and manner very calming and soothing and enjoyed this very much. Thank you.
Lov the way u talk to us😊calming-simple-thanks
Why am I crying??? I love this video. 😮
This is such a beautiful video. You've just combined two of my favourite things in one video; art and mindfulness. I watch a lot of relaxing art videos, but never have I seen such a calming yet educational art video. I've done watercolour once so far, but you've made me really wanna dive in, just for the calming and fun aspect of it. You may have just freed me a little bit from my perfectionism in art ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words!
You are incredible. Thank you so much. "Only I have left to say, more is thy due than more than all can pay." -Shakespeare, in Macbeth.
You are so welcome
omg! Thank you for posting these! I have a connective tissue disease and I am taking art therapy in college and this has been a lifesaver! I'm actually able to hold the brush! Thank you!
Wow so so glad to hear this!!
Kristy,
You WERE put on this earth to help people find the joy in painting with watercolor. I've always wanted to try and came across this video. I'll be following you for sure now!
Oh thank you!!
I have finally found you. I have been struggling with watercolor painting for years but after viewing this amazing video I have hope that I can succeed. Thank you for your soothing, non-threatening way to inspire and encourage.
You're so welcome!
I have never painted anything ever, unless you count walls with a roller. I ordered a set of watercolors and I can't wait to try them!
Soooo happy!!
I'm not artistic at all (I can barely draw stick figures) but you've made me believe I can be. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
What a gem of a tutorial! Bless you heart for spreading joy. You inspire us to understand that if we enjoy the process and lose ourselves in it, we have found success.🌺 Thank you.
Thank you so much!
I am so happy that you exist in the same world as me. Thank you.
Appreciate your words so much :)
So happy I found you. Finally someone who uses color so effectively. Love your artwork. I have struggled with leaves!!!!!
Yay! So glad you’re here!!!
I’m paying more attention to what’s happening as I paint and thinking more in terms of what effect I want to create.
Thank you.
❤️
As a teacher myself I love that you can just tell how passionate you are about your craft. Bravo to you. You will change people’s lives. 💛
Appreciate your words so much :)
I love how inspirational you are when you’re teaching us! You sound like such a lovely person! Thank you for your tips and tricks 🥰
You are so welcome!
Your voice is so calming. Thank you for spreading your knowledge with us. Keep up the great work.
Wow what a wonderful lesson. Your voice is so peaceful and full of energy and love. I feel like a rock star already. I’m a caregiver and one of my clients with Parkinson’s used to paint and her family is trying to encourage her to paint more. I’m an artist with yarn and fabric and I only acrylic paint but just for my fun. So I’m to look for videos of how to water color, which is her favorite medium. And this is my first and you have set my mind frame of how to approach it with her. I mean who am I to show an artist how to do their craft? But now I know, reach her heart and memories of her love for it. Re
I d her we are not making a Rembrandt, just feeling the moment. Thank you so much. I’m ready and pumped up!!!
I absolutely love your energy!
Thank you so much!!
wow this tutorial is very different from all other painting tutorial i've seen. and bravo! not many artists on here would encourage people to just be present and paint messily intentionally, even watercolours. it's always "this what what you need to get and this is how you do it" type of tutorial. i am a writer but i'm very challenged when it comes to visual arts. i am very intrigued by painting. tried oil painting and charcoal, but i didn't stay with it. i think i need to try watercolour next. getting clean water on the page was such a mind blowing moment.
Yesss I’m your gal lol!! I just published this vid as a follow up to this one! Check it out!! czcams.com/video/Lcq1uC18fQA/video.htmlsi=jXSZl8Ub-sbXIlh8
Can you do a meditation video where you just talk for 10 minutes about being positive and calm and free and life is beautiful coz you have the perfect voice for it.
Aww thanks!! I did some of those around the holidays last year :)
I’ve never seen you before! You made me smile 😁 the whole time! Love the way you teach and your vocabulary is so cool! 😎 Actually ~ you’re AWESOME ❤❤❤
Thank you! 😃
Something about watercolors feels like freedom
Best sentence ever
Fell in love with you after 15 seconds ❤. You are encouraging and your words are power. A huge bonus for me personally is that you do not over talk 😅 and that you keep everything moving at a pleasant speed. #fanforlife 🎉
So glad! Thank you!!
U have an extremely calming voice! Would be amazing in meditations and bedtime stories❤
Maybe one day!
I've been looking for a good watercolour tutorial for months and now I've found it!!! Thank you so much, this is excellent!! 😀🥰🖌🎨
You’re welcome!
I love this intro to watercolors. It is tutorial like this that can actually succeed in overcoming my fear of watercolor painting. Thank you!
Thank you so much 😀
Fantastic video!! 👏
I'm reminded of my middle school art teacher named Mrs. Rice 😉 Like you, she also had a such calm and beautiful aura ...despite some not so nice teen boys that would constantly vandalize her classroom & supplies. God bless her heart ❤
Love that! Thank you!
You’re an amazing teacher. Very inspiring and encouraging. Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Newbie here. Searching for tutorials! Found your beautiful energy!
Welcome!!
I've just stumbled on this video, and I honestly have to say, this was such a relaxing experience (oh, and what a soothing voice!). Thank you... I was planing on not doing much for an hour or so, but instead I'm going to grab those watercolours.
Well I have succeeded then!!!
I L❤VE this!! The fact that you used Crayola watercolors is wonderful to the very newbie who may not want to invest in expensive supplies before they know if they love watercolors. This was a great video for a newbie such as myself. Thank you! 🎨
You are so welcome!
Great, thanks! I probably would have quit if I did not see this video. I was trying to do this without wetting the paper first. Your video is the only one I saw that actually gets you started with great tips. I used to draw with pencils a lot and I got pretty good at it, but drawing with pencils is boring. Painting is much more interesting because there are surprises and you can also just do it from what is in your mind.
With pencil drawing I felt like a copy machine, with water color it feels like something far more alive and mysterious.
Thank you for this, I could paint with you all day!
I don't think I can put a picture here, but I want you to know that I followed your directions and I made this little box of color on a blue background and every time I look at it I smile
That is creative gold right there :)
You’re like bob ross your voice is so calm
Love the passion you put in the video.
I appreciate that!
Watching Kristy Rice videos makes me want to paint...or watch more Kristy Rice videos. :D
Please do! lol!!
I’m new, and super excited to learn from you!
Welcome!!
This was the most relaxing and amazing video ever. I haven’t used watercolors since I was a child, but I am headed to give below now to pick up some supplies. Thank you for the encouraging words ❤
Oh yay!! So glad for you to paint!!
This video made my whole day. I can’t wait to jump into this! You’re the best! ❤
love your enthusiasm! thanks for this feel good vid
Thanks for watching!
Thanks 👍 I was not sure if I should have started with water colour
I started with Acrylic paints. Abstract.
