Hi friends! Earlier on Instagram I asked if I should keep this painting tutorial (which ended up taking longer than I thought) full length or if I should speed it up.
The vote was unanimous to keep the tutorial long and in real-time with live narration. Well, you have been warned LOL! So, grab your watercolors and paint along with me!
Video!
Supplies:
Watercolor (I am using Gansai Tambi)
Watercolor Pencils (Prima)
Watercolor paper (140# 5″x7″ Strathmore watercolor greeting card)
Masking tape, Paper towel
#6 Cat’s Tongue brush (or you can use round) Princeton

Do you think you will try this? I hope so! I was really pleased that you wanted me to keep the tutorial long, I want to be respectful of your time but art takes time and you deserve to spend time doing something you enjoy (every day if possible!) Thanks so much for painting with me today and til next time happy crafting!

Hi Lindsay, I absolutely love your painting tutorials – you’re so positive and enthusiastic – it’s incredibly encouraging (especially to a struggling novice like me !). So, yes keep your videos full length. Yes – I will follow this Calla Lilies Tutorial.
Thank you for all the wisdom that you have given so generously.

it wasn’t black, it was the purple mix and I added little dan]bs after I was done and not on camera because it was an afterthought and honestly I thought it might be a mistake LOL!

I appreciate your encouragement so much. Hate admitting this but I have not “found” time to paint since I started doing twitter. Ouch, that really hurt but I said it. And what do I have to show for that. Please keep letting us know and keeping us on the path–painting is so important to the soul. Marie

I really like the full length tutorials. I feel more confident that I can do it if you are guiding me every step along the way. And it feels more like a class setting. AND calla lilies are my favorite flower!

Your painting tutorials are wonderful even for someone like me who doesn’t paint. I always learn useful, like how to make a gray that will work with all the rest of the colors. I love how you think out loud. Never change. 🙂

I love the full length painting tutorials. This is beautiful and look forward to trying, think I may do a full canvas painting of this. I got the carandache water crayons for Christmas and am having trouble getting used to them. Do you have any suggestions or tutorials? Thanks and Happy New Year!

I love the long chatty tutorials. If someone doesn’t have time to watch it right away, they can always get back and watch it later when they have more time and or need to relax! I’ve heard you mention several times that your Gansai Tambi don’t have English names, and my set of 36 doesn’t either. I’m kinda OCD, so I spent forever trying to track down the names. I can’t remember where I got the info, from several different places, I think, but these are the names I found, but I can’t swear it’s accurate, since I don’t read Japanese! I hope this helps!
