I’m a watercolor artist from Arizona and I have a passion for education and helping everyone feel like they can paint beautiful paintings at home. Join me as I discuss materials, techniques and show step by step tutorials. New videos release every Wednesday! Thank you for being here ❤️
Finding light and shadow with value studies in watercolor
In this video I talk about how to find your light and shadows through color value and value studies. Value studies help you practice making colors lighter or darker in watercolor without all the color getting in the way. They act as a guide for when you’re ready to paint your final color study.

Beautiful and the piano matches the painting perfectly.
I just found your channel and am enjoying the videos! I am fairly new to watercolor. This is a random question but I've noticed you don't seem to mind when colors mix a bit inside your half-pans. Whereas I'm always neurotically rinsing my brush so that I can keep my colors pure. But it makes mixing colors so hard! Do you just not worry about it? What do you do if you need pure yellow and your yellow has blue in it??
I know this video has been up for a few years but I just checked out some books from my library and loved one so looked up author and it’s YOU so now I’m watching all your vids because your skill, talent, voice, & instruction is top notch & so so helpful & inspiring. I can’t afford classes right now so can’t tell you how much i appreciate & am grateful for you making all of this available. I admire you & your work
@@jennyluteable that’s amazing!!! Welcome 💕💕
so inspired by this 😍
I am a newbie, can I use white to add lightless where it's too dark?
Hi Kristin, this was one of the first videos which helped me painting. Now I can paint decently following tutorials but can you please make a video of giving ideas what we can do to develop further? Thanks!
Parfait, merci
Excellent explanation. Thank you so much. I have been painting for quite a while, but I always enjoy hearing and seeing such a clear demonstration. Well done!
Thank you so much for such helpful and enjoyable videos.❤
Vielen Dank für das sehr ausführliche Video mit der Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung. Es ist mir eine sehr große Hilfe. Ich male noch nicht so lange mit Aquarellfarben. Es macht auch Spaß Dir beim malen zuzuschauen. Bei Dir sieht alles so leicht aus. Viele Grüße aus München in Deutschland, Angela
Definitely helps to have a good brush
This explanation and demo is very helpful. I do struggle with values......need to practice, practice, practice. Thank you.
My God amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
My God amazing ❤❤❤❤❤
I am brand new to watercolor and at painting anything. I am trying to absorb as much information as possible. This was one of the best and helpful videos I have seen yet! Thank you so much! Now, I am going to binge watch you and practice!❤
wowwww sooo cute
wow
Thank you so much for the beautiful painting tutorials . I love the way you teach . ❤ Love from India .
i was wondering why you didn't include a dagger? I use a small dagger when painting flowers and especially for foliage.
Bro this is ugly
I like it
Love the idea
👏sub'd
Wonderful and very informative tutorial.
Thank you so much for this wonderful lesson. I’m glad I found you on UA-cam.
I'm great with oils and acrylic but terrible with watercolour! Now I know why!
The end result is so pretty and it looks fun and easy to do💛
Awesome!!!
I am so enjoying this informative tutorial! I just happened onto your channel this second. I will for sure subscribe. However I have a somewhat personal question. I am related to the Van Leuven family mainly in the Southern Utah area. I was wondering if we could be cousins?
Great tutorial and very helpful Thanks
You have such a gift for explaining these concepts both simply & comprehensively! great tutorial as always. :))
This was just outstanding! You were very clear with this and although I have done WC a bit, never has the issue of light source and contrast and how to leave white areas explained so very well. And yur color mixing! Just oustanding and thank you! Agree with another's comment - do more like this please!
That is SO beautiful!!!!!! Wow 😮
❤
I love this!
Fun
This is a great way to try different color combinations and play around with it in an abstract way without worrying about some of the details of figures or landscape or anything else like that. And it looks great!
Very helpful. Love all these side by side comparisons. Thank you very much!
So cute!!❤
Very lovely 😊
How beautiful! It's nice to see how you do it, thanks and regards!
I wish I had a print of this 😊
Nice tutorial ❤❤❤❤
I love this 🤩
Great demo!!!
Great tutorial!
Beautiful!
I love that advise "just do what I do"

What a fun way to recycle all our practice flowers.
🖼👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🫡 I learn oil painting. But I'm also interested in other oils. I also draw acrylic and maca. But the watercolors are so beautiful.
