Learning From the Pros: Watercolor with Lets Make Arts Sarah Cray and Paint Heart Hands DIY With Dori 2020-02-29 | Join me while I paint along with Sarah Cray at Let's Make Art. This is a subscription kit company that offers so much more than just your monthly box. First of all, they offer subscriptions or single boxes for watercolor projects (4 per month!) single watercolor or lettering kits, lettering projects, and since the first of February, they now offer Art Journaling kits. Each kit includes 4 separate projects with so much stuff packed into it you can play for days! I first subscribed to the watercolor kit when I googled "how to watercolor" last summer. One of the things I really love about this company is that you can download a PDF from their site... FOR FREE.. and follow along with their tutorials, which is what I did with the Heart Hands project seen here in my video. I love that you can get all the instruction and materials without paying a monthly (or annual!) membership fee, you don't have to do anything or belong to anything!This project is from their January watercolor box. While most of the projects are Sarah's own designs, this one was a contest they had last December where folks sent in outlines and she chose one to paint. The winner of the contest was Marissa Sharbaugh and she drew these amazing hands. I have photos of my daughter's and my hands in this exact shape in Hawaii and Thailand, so it felt extra special to me!I used Daniel Smith watercolors in moonglow, hooker's green, yellow ochre, quinacridone rose, and DaVinci quinacridone red, on Arches 100% cotton cold-pressed watercolor paper. I knew that there were sets of paints that included colors specifically for painting skin, but part of my watercolor journey includes leanring some basic color theory and color mixing. I loved doing that! I remember exactly how I felt when I had been adding colors and water and more colors and suddenly there was the color of my own hands!! There is SO MUCH joy in watercolor! So much!Annway, this is not a tutoria of how to panit these hands, but a video of my experience with watching and learning from a professional's tutorial. I'm beginning to believe there is nothing I can't learn!Visit Let's Make Art to get this outline at their website letsmakeart.com/products/heart-hands-outline then browse around their site and store and check it all out. This tutorial at their YouTube site is at youtube.com/watch?v=TbC9lIuBUSc . Thanks for watching my video!
Beginner Watercolor Floral Birthday Card DIY With Dori 2020-02-15 | Join me while I paint a beginner-friendly watercolor card with cherry blossoms painted in Daniel Smith quinacridone magenta watercolor on 5x7 Strathmore watercolor cards. It is my sister's birthday on April 1 and I wanted to paint her birth flower, which is either a daisy or a sweet pea (I guess all months have two options!). I paint a daisy okay, but I've never painted a sweet pea and couldn't find one on YouTube that I wanted to try. While I was looking around, though, I came across Nianiani's tutorial on cherry blossoms. We had a cherry tree in our back yard while we were growing up, so I thought that would be a good, sentimental flower for her card. (She doesn't watch YouTube videos.... don't worry. lol) Nia (or Eugenia Sudargo as I know her on Skillshare) is a great teacher. I love the way she breaks the drawing down to basic shapes, and shows you how she mixes colors, and her style in general. You can find her cherry blossom tutorial here: youtube.com/watch?v=zw56hToT8qw . I also do a bit of "fauxligraphy" that I've learned while subscribed to Let's Make Art's Lettering boxes where Nicole Miyuki teaches various lettering styles. I subscribe to their watercolor boxes as well... Sarah Cray is another of my favorite video teachers! You can find Nicolle and Sarah's videos on YouTube or on the Let's Make Art website, where you can download drawing guides, and outlines for painting... for free! You don't even have to be a customer! :) P..S. For 2020 they have also started Art Journalling boxes and I love them as well! Check them out here: letsmakeart.comThis is just my 2nd video here on Youtube and I am struggling a bit with how to do a voiceover but I'm trying.... I'll get it right.
Easy Watercolor Valentines for My First YouTube Video DIY With Dori 2020-02-10 | I recently spent 16 days in Mexico and of course I brought art supplies with me. I painted watercolor Valentine images and brought them home and turned them into Valentine cards for my grandkids and great-grandkids. In this video I share my completed watercolor panels and the process I use to turn them into actual cards. Since this is my first video I realize I was a little "stiff" but I promise I am not uptight at all! It was a lot of fun creating the cards..... it was not a lot of fun creating the video. I'm sure it gets easier :)The supplies I used are listed below:Arches 140# cold-pressed watercolor paperDaniel Smith watercolor paintsDaVinci watercolor paintsArteza gouacheHero Arts January 2020 My Monthly Hero stamps and embossing powderHero Arts shimmer cardstockMy Favorite Things Lots of Love DienamicsNeenah 110# white cardstockTim Holtz metallic cardstockCheck out Ellen Crimi Trents YouTube video on watercolor valentines that inspired my heart bouquet cards youtube.com/watch?v=JOMwlfBVkzkThanks for viewing my Very First YouTube video!
