Artist Desiree East's video: Super Duper Casual Watercolor Painting Sesh for Mamas w My Kid s Cheap Watercolors

Testing, testing, 1-2-3...during this live stream art class, please join me for a simple, fun, and easy ocean-themed watercolor painting lesson. This is a super duper casual session, because I'm also doing a rough run-through, testing Streamlabs OBS with YouTube live streaming. It's SO casual, that I'm using my child's washable Prang watercolor set today (whaaaat? Dear Art Gods and Goddesses, please forgive me...). Even so, you'll learn a handful of easy peasy watercolor tips as we move along through the video. Please excuse the hiccups during this first test run...I'm taking lots of notes for next time. In the meantime, if you'd like a quick-fix, I've got plenty of time-lapse speed videos on the rest of my channel, so be sure to check those out! xo-Dez ********************************************************************************* CONTENTS OF THIS VIDEO 00:00 - Welcome 00:50 - Watercolor Supplies 02:27 - Brief overview of today's lesson 05:55 - Creative warm-up exercise: Getting into creative flow and letting go of perfectionism 30:23 - Creating watercolor sketches: Draw one simple design (and why I like to paint with two pieces side-by-side) 34:28 - Applying first layer of watercolor wash 57:58 - Snack Time: Taking a break 1:11:11 - Applying more layers/glaze on top of dried layers 1:22:11 - Applying artist's acrylic ink to watercolor 1:28:45 - Applying complimentary colors 1:36:38 - Developing preliminary glazed layer for abstract clouds + adding more glaze to waves 1:47:11 - Activating and testing acrylic paint pen 1:52:00 - Applying doodle lines w/acrylic paint pen 1:57:50 - Creating luminous abstract clouds w/acrylic ink and blending with watercolor 2:04:22 - Finishing up layers with acrylic paint pen, glazing, etc...at least for now ;-) **************************************************************************** Welcome to Creative Rituals TV | Creativity Coaching with Artist Desiree East I'm Desiree East, artist and creativity coach, and I'm here to help you weave more creative flow and abundance into your life thru Art + Painting Tutorials, Creative Business Tips and Entrepreneurial Mindset.
