How to Paint a Red Hibiscus in Watercolor

in dtube •  6 years ago 


Hello my Steemian friends!

I want to share with you my brand new tutorial: How to paint a hibiscus in watercolor.

I love painting flowers with this technique because it is delicate, transparent and colorful.

The list of materials I used for this project is the following:

I hope you enjoy the video. Please let me know what do you think.

All the best,

Leonardo

You make it look so easy. I understand the building of layers now and realize you have to do stages and let it dry otherwise you would end up in a mess. Amazing how you ended up with a fantastic vibrant Hibiscus as I thought you were finished but detail still came in afterwards, A real artist and thank you for sharing your talent.

Well let's get to the video since that is the first thing that pops up. Since it is on DTube, it was laggy but I know it's beyond mines or your control on this so I will say it took me long to watch it. Beyond that, I like, how with many good tutorials, that it does do a timelapse (of course after the obligatory intro post-intro, or the person speaking which should've constituted the channel brand and video intro at the same time). Secondly, I like how this is done in one take and there's an elegance to the painting all about. Like the various use of brushes and water-colours to achieve the task of not only tutorializing a general guide but completely such as well. Thirdly, I like the voice but I only got to hear snippets; if I do come back for a second visit, I shall change this comment accordingly if I have any suggestions. But of the things I did hear I thought the voice was crisp and greatly appropriate at where it was at. Lasting, I love timelapses and the video film quality was sharp. So thanks for not screwing this up like some tutorials. Now I would comment here if there was a transcript, but there was only links provided and materials utilized. Thus I shall say congrats for the @curie upvote and thankfully this video was nicely short to what I have to be at right now.

So happy tutorial making, happy painting and happy steeming!

Thank you for your comment and for the suggestions. I appreciate them. Good point regarding transcript (or subtitles). I will actually find out if it is possible to subtitle the videos here on DTube, as it is on YouTube. I´m glad you enjoyed it.

Welcome for the comment! ~^.^~

Hi Leonardo!
Did you as well upload on YouTube?
Its too slow watching Dtube here.
Thank you!

I'm very thankful you have made this complete tutorial available for no charge. Since I'm just getting interested in watercolour painting coming from a calligraphy and crafting background, I find it so inspiring that an artist would share so much information without my having to take a class to see if I want to pursue this.

I learned so much about watercolour flow from this.

Looking forward to trying it.

So beatiful!
We call them Cachupinas in my hometown. One of my favorite flowers. We had dozens of species when I was growing up. I never drew one, though.
Maybe I should, as a homage to my mother who worked magic to get as many types as possible and make sure out father did not cut them down. He did not like the fact that they can grow very tall.
As always your videos are perfect. Very didactic and efficient.
Congratulations. It's a great pleasure to see your work.

Hi @artistleonardo
your work is beautiful! And I really like it when you show us all the steps that lead to the creation of the work. Every time you added a little of red colour I was excited because it seemed to me too much red, but what can I know? Your ibiscus is beautiful! Watch the video It's a bit like being in your head and seeing with your eyes, I envy a lot your talent!! Congratulations and Thanks for sharing with us!
