- Join me on my journey about how to paint loose splashy colorful butterflies in the style of the late great Charles Reid.
Charles Reid's books I LOVE:
amzn.to/3OzO3AE - Watercolor Basics - (this is the book where I found these 5 techniques)
amzn.to/3rPIULW - Flowers - I own this and can't wait to read this next
amzn.to/3DzRDEw - Portraits with Charles Reid - I've been reading this too. SO good. DO NOT pay more than $20 - there are used books on amazon, I think I paid $15. Search around in this link and you'll find cheaper options!!!
amzn.to/3QibdN7 This is the first Charles Reid book I owned. I love it like an old friend.

wow! you do beautiful work! I have done some similar pieces, and am a self-taught Charles Reid fan. I didn't know he'd passed. he sure was a down-to-earth gentleman, and loved his family!
@@10mileroadie his family maintains an Instagram account where they post one of his paintings daily
I haven't finished this vid yet, but have to comment and commend you on "keeping it real".....the frustration! The failures! Not getting the outcome of what is in your head! The doubt! YES! Thank you keep on "keepin' on" because while I'm dealing with a traumatic event in my life and cannot paint anymore......you are giving me the determination to sit down today and just "try" and not expect much. I look around my house and see my paintings on the wall and know that once upon a time I could do it....why am I creating such bad art when I tried the other day??? I am working through my grief and I guess it's a process. Not going to give up.
I'm so sorry to hear that you are grieving. I hope you take good care of yourself and are gently with yourself! I hope you continue to feel better and better. When I first started painting on camera everything came out so badly and I felt like I had lost my ability to paint too.
I hope you’re okay… I also stopped painting for a long time and was disappointed when I started again. I guess I expected to still be at the same level, even sketching was so hard. I’m also determined to keep going so I might do a little study that I like and that makes me happy. Take care 🌸
@@ankejacobs4649 Definitely get back up on the pony! I'm working on my second piece at the moment and I'm having a whole different attitude. Not fearing it anymore and soothing myself with the mantra.... it's just a piece of paper. No one has to see it. An art friend recommended that I just draw big circles and drop paint in and be satisfied with how it mixes. It's good advice for sure.
Great! I’m happy ❤️
Thank you, thank you for showing how to get the watery look especially on the flowers. I'm too detailed and want that watery, loose look.
Yes me too and I couldn't find any tutorials on it, so now we have a tutorial on this haha
You just blew my mind… water masking?!!? LOVE IT.
THANKYOU!!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for showing what it's really like! 😂 You're awesome!
Thank you Dusty!
I like some splatters too…very fun and freeing!
Yes, I love their energy.
I had been an oil painter many years ago. When i retired i wanted to paint again but not in the controled manner that i was using oil. The idea of a more painterly approach was what i wanted. I wanted something with a bit of a mind of its own. So i started watching watercolor tutorials on you tube, but many were reviews of watercolor supplies and i bought and bought. I swatched and swatched. But not painting. I sincerely hope i have some time now to actually paint, health willing. Beautiful painting and you are very easy to understand which makes you a great teacher. Thank you.
I hope you are able to get in some painting too and that your health cooperates with you!
Love to see the advanced techniques !
This video is so exciting Love the technique. Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Rachel, You are gifted in so many ways...art, teaching, humor. I derive so much from your vidoes. Thanks! AND BTW I loved your fails as well as your passes...I do think beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and maybe you should try seeling some of what you consider fails. I have done so and was so supised that not only did they sell but the comments and what others saw in my fails led me to believe I am not the best judge of my work.. To Critiacal of my own self. You give amazing inspirtaionl videos..
I think on some levels, to continue to improve, an artist has to be hard on there work, otherwise, they wouldn't progress! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos Mary!
I always learn from you. Thank you!
This is great Rachel!
Thank you!
My pleasure!
Beautiful, thank you very much for sharing these amazing techniques
My pleasure!
Congrats 🍾🎉 on your watercolor achievements and milestones! Thanks also for showing us the “uglies.” We all have them and your not giving up is important.
Thank you so much!
Inspired to give it a go.
Practice practice practice is the key. Thanks for watching Peggy!
I was really inspired by this and love the techniques you are sharing! They are stunning!! Thank you!!!
I'm so glad to hear that. I've been working very hard, studying and experimenting to try these new approaches.
Lovely technique, thank you for demonstrating and explaining it.🥰
My pleasure!
I appreciated your explanation of a "very loose" watercolor style. I "do" usually more "interpretive-realism", This will be a fun challenge for me because I "control" my watercolor placement more. And I really like your results including the "uglies".
I'm glad you enjoyed it Mike!
Thanks as always! Good to see you uglies. grateful! I feel like I make a lot of uglies & occasional "wows". Very instructive!
Such a fun video 🎉
Thank you so much! I'm having fun experimenting!
Wow! So many amazing tips and tricks in this video!! Exactly what I was looking for
Glad it was helpful Alexa!

This butterfly isn't up yet but I did one a few weeks ago on my Patreon that is on the $13 tier or you can purchase it as a stand alone tutorial at www.rachelsstudio.com/tutorials
Look and see what tutorials I have on my Patreon at www.rachelsstudio.com/patreonindex I'm experimenting a new way to manage my tutorials by offering them at the beginning at lower tiers, either $5 or $8 and then 'graduating' them to higher tiers after a few weeks. That way, my lower paid members get access to more tutorials and my long time subscribers get more value when they stay subscribed and don't miss out on anything I do. So if you get on my Patreon and then jump back off after a month you might miss out!
Thanks for this beautiful vídeo. I learn so much with you!
Thank you Teresa for always commenting. It means so much to me!
Hi Rachel, thank you so much for sharing your artwork and techniques with us. As far as making mistakes goes, if we never do this we never learn anything both as artists and human beings. I would like to share with you my idea of where you might be going “wrong” with your butterflies if I may. I just want to add that this is just my idea, and I am very aware that it is easy as an observer looking in to make comments on other peoples work when you might be prone to making the same possible errors yourself. I say possible errors, as not all so called mistakes are bad! I believe that you may be over painting your butterflies and loosening your light and dark values. I think you should maybe try leaving more white or very light areas in any future butterflies you paint. As far as the butterflies you have already painted that you don’t like, have you tried “lifting out”? This may or not work depending on whether you have used staining paints or not, but if you really don’t like the paintings that much you have nothing to loose. Best wishes, Sam xxx
I use lifting in every painting I do. Thank you for your thoughts! I definitely battle with getting too dark and heavy.
How exciting!
Thank you!
What I love most about these techniques is the fresh quality that is achieved. I was just re-visiting "How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself" by Nita Engle, and she also uses water droplets as mask. You likely have her book, which I highly recommend. It is shocking how one can look at a previously read book and learn so much the second time around, due to ones cumulative painting experience.
Yes I definitely need to read that again!
Love your videos and😮 great information ❤. I have been practicing loose painting. Its funny because I find trying to paint loose most of the time makes my butt pinch tighter. It's a process of relaxing with the paint and trying not to over think. Thank you so much for showing your fails along with your successes! You are an wonderful teacher 🥰.
Gotta love that watercolor pinchy butt 😂😋😆
Just had 2 Aha moments from your video. My paint is drying too fast and unevenly and it’s probably because I’m dabbing. Also I didn’t understand to use use hard and soft edges, until now. 🎉
How do I join your patreon group? I love your style. I am a pre- beginner!😵💫
I would encourage you to read this first... www.patreon.com/posts/my-thoughts-for-82080110 Also come join my free Facebook group!
❤❤❤
Thank you Mary Lou!
I would try different watercolour paper and do the same technique by painting the same subject on the different paper.
I normally paint on cold press, but hot press is the way to go to get these effects! Clayboard might be fun too.
When you point to the corner and say you linked a video there , nothing is there. I’ve noticed that with other channels and it started happening about 2 yrs ago.
👍🌺🦋
Thank you Lauren!
This was really neat!
Which Reid book are you referencing?
The Watercolor Basics one. So good!
Just me again.... Check out some interesting artists such as Sumiyo Toribe. She does such loose and lovely landscapes often in a large size or 3-panel (triptyche) and makes it look effortless (cough, cough). Her clips are short (mostly under 10 minutes) but inspiring. Another artist I ran across is Marci Mason, but only a limited sample of her work posted by Monroeville Public Library. She has a butterfly painting that is intriguing (it seems detailed but it's not. Love how she explained about hard lines and blurring). The video is long (over an hour and a half --- but I skip to the painting parts and increase the speed). She creates a lot of her background with cling wrap and salt effects and water splashes. Can find it under Watercolor Made Easy by Marci Mason: Butterfly. You have all this experience so I'm sure you'll catch on quickly and might try some of the techniques along your journey. Me? Kind of a beginner and occasional painter so it's hard to replicate the techniques successfully and stay loose. My mind gets tripped up on details. LOL.
I'll definitely check out those artists! Just keep working on your painting, you'll get there!
I am soooooo far behind you, but maybe the dark line on top of the wing should be a broken line.
I think so too about that black edge!
I enjoyed watching you but sigh...I'm a perfectionist and I just can't paint loose
Dianna - if it's any consolation it's much harder for me to paint loose than tight but I'm stubborn despite many more failures than successes.
I love the techniques and your style of teaching but I have one constructive criticism. The little bell sound is very jarring and I had to stop watching the video because of it. It’s cool that you highlight little notes in writing but I don’t think you need the sound effect.
Yes others have said that about the ding, so that's the last you'll see of that lol
You should fix your recorded voice quality and take OUT the annoying “DING”! Sound.
It is giving me a headache.
Yes that has been suggested and I will. And I've bought a couple new mikes in the last couple weeks and yeah, I'm not a sound person. I'm a painter. But I'll keep working on it.
Please cut the pings as it drives my dog wild and makes your video unwatchable for me as I can hear you over the barking.... wish I could have watched 😫
I definitely will, sorry!!!
Your art is so beautiful and you have so much helpful information to share - but every time that ding goes off my teeth vibrate entirely unpleasantly. I hate to miss the good info, but gonna have to unsub. I'm probably the only one, so it's not that big a deal.
😂 I’m glad someone else mentioned this. I totally agree. I love the tips but the ding sound is a bit much
Oh no! I've never used the dings, I thought they would help highlight the main points - I tend to tune out when things get too longwinded so I was experimenting at adding a little interest. I'll definitely take this feedback into consideration and not be too over dingy next time!
I'll try not to be such a dingbat next time haha
Gorgeous, amazing, so beautiful painting 🎨👏👏👏👏🌺🍀🌼👍
Sometimes your instructions seem too advanced for beginners 😢
Yes this was an advanced techniques video - you might enjoy my series on techniques though, I had one each for tea, milk, and cream consistency paint - Here is the tea consistency one - czcams.com/video/638kn84WDMU/video.html and then I have a playlist for techniques and Watercolor Basics at czcams.com/play/PLk8QfRJaMFF1LQuVdCHwOaIRsw2Xi9G34.html and czcams.com/play/PLk8QfRJaMFF2GmPlBBVxrvF6b4FFAqCy4.html
