- Hi Friends.
Painting watercolor shouldn't be about rules but about finding JOY and using your precious free time to elevate your life. I'm here to push fears aside, avoid complicated tools and inspire free spirited, mood shifting watercolor experiences in short bursts of time.
1. Loose with pencil
2. Bold brushstrokes
3. Sketching with watercolor
I hope you'll paint along with me and ask all the questions you want in comments! Post your creations using the hashtags #artforjoysake and #forgetrulesforgetrightrememberjoy
Happy Painting!

Thank you for giving me a new wish for my birthday. Hope I get one of your books
Hope so!
Beautiful!! I like it when you show us how to think outside of the box. Thank you for a great video!! I look forward to giving it a try!!
Thanks Robin! I have a few more of these up my sleeve!
Love your painting style. Have been trying to teach myself water coloring and your style so suits me. Thank you.
Wonderful to hear! If there is anything you'd like me to cover in future videos, just say the word!
Just awesome! I am loving everything you do! You are an inspiration!!!!
Awww thank you!!!!!
Your books are so pretty wish I could afford to get them , hope you do more tutorials
Starting up the tutorials again :) Just posted a new one!
What do you think of using watercolor pencils in your books? Is there a tutorial about doing that?
They could be tricky in any watercolor book, between going back and forth between water and the paper. If the paper is not the best quality that can affect the experience as well.
I have all your books I love them
Thank you so so much!
Hi Kristy - really enjoying your videos! I've been doing a little practicing before I add any color to my Beautiful Woodland Painterly Days. When is the pallet going to be available? Love the colors!
Still waiting to hear when the palette is going to be available!! I'm so impatient!
Really useful tips ! Why I couldn't find this before ?
😘😘👍🏻
so cool
Thank you!
I think it would look cool to do the wash around the shape and make the middle stand out that way. I will have to try that.

I'd love to see that when you are done!
Bought two of your coloring books. Pictures are great. I was disappointed with the water coloring paper. Can’t move paint around very much for paper peeling. I didn’t do any scrubbing. I used a light touch. Couldn’t bend any.
Jean Murdock Hi Jean! This paper is called hot press and is smooth to the touch. The best advice I can offer is to use more water. You can also start by wetting the paper thoroughly (spray bottle) and then working in more water as you add pigment. More water is better for this type of paper :)
Hi Kristy, thanks for the Painterly Days vids, they are fun to watch. In this vid you mention a mat and frame that fit these pages perfectly. Will you please share a link? Thanks!
Oh yes!! My goodness I forgot to add that link above! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FQAMRU0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Just got this book but when use a water brush it just puts out constant water even if I don’t press on it & is there a tip on using them? As usually use a reg brush & just add more water for lighter washes but wish water brushes only put out the water when you want it to do so. Love the book!
Water brushes drove me nuts for that reason lol!!
So, where is that palette available?
Amazon :)
Kristy Rice I can't seem to find your palette of watercolors on Amazon despite my best searching. Would you have a link we can follow?
Here is it :) www.amazon.com/Painterly-Days-18-Watercolors-Paintbrush/dp/0764351680/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1494864087&sr=8-4&keywords=painterly+days
are the paints available?
Yes on Amazon! XO
