Hey friends! Please forgive me. This watercolor blooms episode was not the greatest. We will definitely try again. This is how it goes when you are trying something for the first time. Please don't expect everything you paint to turn out perfect on the first try. I hope this encourages you to keep trying after you mess up.

About This Video

Hey friends—this one is a real-time “trying something for the first time” episode, and yes… it turned into a watercolor blooms DISASTER (at least by my expectations). I’m attempting carnation-style blooms, and instead of everything magically looking perfect on the first go, I’m showing you what it actually looks like when the timing is off, the water-to-paint ratio isn’t cooperating, and the blooms don’t bloom the way you pictured in your head. The big takeaway is honestly the pep talk I needed myself: please don’t expect your first attempt to be perfect. I’m learning right alongside you, and this video is me choosing to keep going even when it feels messy and not “YouTube pretty.” I’m using a couple Daniel Smith colors (Rose of Ultramarine and Serpentine Genuine), painting in my sketchbook, and working with my brushes to see what I can get the pigments to do. We will definitely try again, and next round I’ll be adjusting my water control and pacing so the carnations have a better chance of looking like… actual carnations.
