    Friends thank you so much for your support on this channel! I'd love to know what other flowers you'd like me to paint here!
  • @user-sr8ou9gr7y
    I wonder if I am your oldest and least talented follower? Beginning a new hobby at 79 is a little scary. But, I am enjoying your work, your style, the time I send with you so much. Thank you. bb
  • @SonjaCrisp
    After years of playing around with acrylic paint, at 71yrs old I decided to attempt watercolour painting. OMG I found it so hard….. until I found your videos. Thank you so much, it is all making sense to me now. You explain and demonstrate the techniques so well.
  • @lynneyland9230
    Oh Kristy teach me how to paint! You are so much fun! Thank you, Lynn Eyland, Halifax, Nova Scotia! Lovely work!
  • @LaraCroft2169
    I am a 30+ year floral designer. Thanks for the tutorial and your support of the carnation. It’s the workhorse of the industry, lasts long, smells beautiful and comes in many beautiful colors
  • This is the art I want to do. I am blown away with how you are giving away all your secrets, I love it. The outrageous colours, they are so startlingly good.
  • Love your techniques. After trying your techniques, I see how alive my flowers and leaves are. Thank you so very much.
  • @prophet71124
    Wow Kristy I sure am glad I found your channel. I have been wanting to learn watercolor but have been so overwhelmed. You make it easy. Not only that but you're not just a painter. You are a poet, a prophetess and a color romancer all in one big package. I can't believe you held me captive for 50 some minutes. It seemed live 5. I myself am a poet with over 20,000 poems under my pen. Now I want to paint my poetry with different scenes. I am really interested in painting abstract faces and wierd looking bugs. LOL Well anyway I will be watching way more of you.  Not only that but you like totally inspired me to start a YouTube channel and present my poetry as artwork. Wow never thought of that before! I have way too much word art to share with the world and its been sitting in bags for over 10 years. Love your personality. You deserve all the success in the universe!!!!!!!!!! Steve J.
  • @lynnemarais
    Kirsty, I absolutely envy (in a good way😊) how you do this.... You make it look so easy😕... and you're an amazing tutor! ❣️
  • I’m a very new beginner and am loving your style of teaching ! You are making it so perfect for me to understand the different ways to use brushes to make different shapes and shading etc. As you point out each step so clearly it makes me really understand how to do things so much better! Thanks for going over step by step , it makes it so much more clear . Looking forward to following you as I move forward . Thanks for your technique !
  • @astrokier
    Wow, you’re super good teacher🤩 Thanks for showing us the strokes on a different paper! Please can you have a video for Peonies, it’s so so difficult 😥 Many Thanks
  • @joybaird4300
    I have watched this video multiple times and each time I get a little bit better. I can stop and rewatch sections I'm struggling with. Kristy does a great job of giving step-by-step instructions while also being joyful and enthusiastic about the technique.
  • @length_wise
    Fascinating! The morning glory was so cool, I especially loved the blue at the end. You're awesome for sharing your drawing wisdom.
  • I absolutely adore your energy. Thank you for this amazing lesson.
  • @alaskangypsy
    This tutorial is a definite contender for the "Kristy Rice Hall Of Fame"! Perfect!!🖌🎨
  • There is NO way I can tell you how much I have learned in 6 weeks. Not just how to paint... but how to THINK how to paint. There is a diff friends! I do her tutorials, I watch her vids in triplicate and for the FIRST time ever I can say... "Hey? I like what I'm doing! This looks cool and I'm in control. And even more? I'm having a GOOD TIME!" Well done Miss Kristy!!! I can't wait to see what happens next!!!
  • @sherylp.9570
    I started out struggling with watercolor because I thought there was a "right" way to do it, and I wasn't accomplishing that "right" way. But I discovered YOU, Kristy, and you've opened up the world to me with watercolor!! I cannot wait until vacation, when I have time to get out my supplies and give it another try. Thanks! You're amazing!!
  • @ninabee3004
    Loved watching this video. I’m going to try these tomorrow. I love watching you paint. It is so informative and your instruction is excellent.
  • @janexyz1497
    Thank you for this! I've just discovered you today! I've learned so much from this one video - and I've watched many many others. Your reminding me of using color & more color & more color is great! As a beginner it's easy to get "stuck" on one color... but the beauty of watercolors is that blend of colors. And your side instructions inside the video, i.e. leaves, teardrops, etc. are so helpful. Really glad I found you! Can't wait to see your others... but I just had to stop and write. THANK YOU!
  • @kimbityk8952
    I would love tropical flowers. I live in Florida, and summer Isco I got. Bird of paradise, hibiscus, ginger, curcuma., orchids. Thank you. Love pairing with you.I got up a 4;30 am, excited to paint with you.
