How to Watercolor Drawings and Stamped Images Video: ROOSTER!

Hey guys! My dear husband has really been encouraging me to make some how-to videos, and after a few months of nervousness and hesitation, I jumped in today. It wasn't so bad! I might be a weeee bit awkward, but oh well. That's me. Back when I posted my 51 Things video, several of you commented that you wanted a watercolor tutorial. So without further ado:



Please subscribe to my channel, if you wish :) And feel free to ask questions if I wasn't clear on anything. Thanks for watching!!!

We are running out the door for my kiddo's art class, but I am SO watching this when we get back!

Nate True said...

So cool! Makes me want to try some watercolors. Can you do a tutorial on drawing monsters or birds?

Tina said...

Emma (who is 6 1/2) and I just watched this your video. So much fun! She kept shushing me so that she could hear your talk ;0)

Thanks for sacrificing so that we could hear you :0) It was worth it.

Emma and I have plans to do some water color painting after lunch and some outside time.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Oh, and thank you for pointing out that it's ok to go outside the lines (i.e. mess up). Emma sometimes gets VERY discouraged if she does that, even though I do it all the time. Hopefully hearing it from someone else will help her relax a bit.

Last comment for today, I promise! Here is what Emma and I created thanks to your inspiration.
