Painting watercolor sunflowers! #tammykayeart #easyart #watercolourpaintings #watercolorforbeginners #mentalhealthart

Scotland art retreat anyone? We’ve been enjoying practicing all kinds of paintings and today was no exception! Today we got to go on a beautiful hike to Loch Earn, which was absolutely gorgeous! Sure it was raining but after a little bit it cleared up and the misty mountains were incredible! So

In today’s video, we paint some watercolor irises with mixed media. I often struggle painting irises because I feel like I can’t seem to get them right. The watercolor doesn’t go where I want and sometimes I find the shapes look funky to me. But after using a variety of light colors to create my wa

Sometimes painting is exciting and comes easily. Other times, it feels like a chore. Today I am exhausted from returning from a road trip way too late last night and sleeping oh so little. I don’t really feel like painting or doing anything creative so I’m posting this reel from before. But this wa

Today we are painting watercolor florals for joy. I was like to start with a larger brush, adding in the lighter first layer and then whenever everything is dry, using a smaller brush to add in the darker layers. With these watercolor flowers, we are finding joy rather than stress or anxiety by rem

To paint these three fluffy peonies for self-care, we start with light pink and burgundy paint colors, using a number 12 round brush to gently squiggle or press the petal shapes. We leave white space in-between petals and of course then you have to add in your vase, your stems, and your greenery. W

When I paint with watercolors, I love to experience the joy of making something. I try to keep myself from expecting something great, no matter the outcome. Using mixed media supplies to enhance the details are an extra element that I absolutely love. I’m shipping out my mindfulness art mail tom

Let’s paint black-eyed susans to relax! This time we start with a number eight round brush and use brown to paint in the centers. Once everything is dry, you can use your number 12 to make quick brush strokes from the outside in with an orange/yellow color. Make them wonky, allowing them to overlap

Today let’s paint a happy palm tree with watercolor and use colored pencils. I love simplifying things and that’s why I did little lines back-and-forth to create the trunk of the tree, as well as the palm fronds, painting those greens in a nice light color. Adding in the first layer of your foliage

Painting watercolor flowers for peace. Today we are still painting with our number 12 round brush, making gentle loose flower shapes in various colors such as reds, pinks, oranges, whatever you choose. Using the same brush and the same loose method, mindfully create your watercolor leaves wherever

Today let’s paint with watercolor for gentleness. We use our number 12 round brush, dipping into various colors such as reds, burgundies, oranges, and we dot our page with loose shapes to create our very loose geranium flowers. Make sure to leave a lot of white space in between for a natural look.

Art can be therapeutic. Today we are painting some loose watercolor poppies in our sketchbook. Starting with the larger brush, you’re going to use reds, oranges maybe even pinks to make those loose petals. Pop in that color, watch it spread, make your buds as well as your larger blooms and then pop

Today we are letting go of perfect art! I’m gonna encourage you to start quickly putting in loose flower shapes, they don’t have to look like anything specific. Then while the flower petals are dry, poke in a little bit of darker color and let it spread wherever it goes. Continue to add in leaves a

Today we are painting watercolor bananas for fun! I started with a black pen sketch and then everything else was so easy! It’s like coloring in a coloring book. And if you don’t want to make perfect lines, just make them wonky and wobbly so you have the idea of your bananas and other fruit shapes.

Let’s paint some watercolor flowers for joy! First of all, start by blocking out your floral shapes with light versions of watercolor. Use sweeping motions to create looseness rather than constricted flowers. When everything is dry, start outlining your flowers and create those beautiful details wi

Today, let’s paint and let’s let go of perfectionism. We start off with some rough carrot shapes with watercolor, using a number 12 round brush. These shapes do not have to be perfect, they just have to be there. When everything is dry, you can add in the second very saturated layer of watercolor p

In today’s video, we start by roughly using our reference photo, blocking in the basic shapes with our number 12 round brush. I sometimes follow the reference when it comes to shapes or textures or colors. But I mostly like to do my own thing. When that first layer is dry, we then take our paint br

Let’s make some joyful art! Starting with my number 12 round brush, I dip it into light pink and green to create a multicolored petal. Keep swooping the brush to create your petal shapes. Add in your stems and leaves and when everything is dry, add in a second, slightly darker paint color over the

Today we are painting some loose watercolor hydrangea! I started with loosely blocking out the pink shapes, making sure to leave some white space in-between. When everything is dry, adding in a second layer of slightly darker pink is the go to. Let that dry, make sure to put in your leaves, and the

Today we are painting watercolor papaya fruits for inner piece. We start out by painting the basic shapes in a very light color of orange for these fruits. You can even add in some green if you would like. Then when everything is dry, we add our second of slightly darker paint in some strategic pla
