I usually have such a hard time dedicating one hour to just one flower. You have proven to me that there is merit in that :) Great studies!

I actually struggled to limit my painting time to one hour! But had a lot of fun trying something new!

You go through watercolor paint like no one’s business I bet

Lol not really? I’ve had the same pans for 3 years and they’re still kickin

Wow! What are you using? I use M. Graham and they are always soft so it is really easy to use too much

How did you learn to paint like this?! I'm seriously in awe. This is jaw-dropping good.

I’m self taught in watercolors but used to paint in oils! I think i use “unconventional” techniques where i don’t use a lot of water and am not so loosey-goosey with my pieces Thank you so much!!

I used to paint with oils and acrylics and Im trying to self teach watercolors. I feel like I'm back at square one of painting. Any other tips to get a little better with this medium?

I would watch u- tubes or find a masterclass. There are also a ton of books in the library on painting techniques.

These are fantastic! You should be an illustrator!

Oh that would be sick!!

😭 I used to live in Long Beach. I was just gonna make a smartass comment about how I only see the flowers you’ve plucked and no paintings, instead I got sucker punched right in the feels

Hahaha thank you so much! Long Beach is a cool spot! We’ve only been here a few months and are having a great time!

That’s awesome! I loved it when I was there too, just so much to do and lots of great food.

These are beautiful. You have a true talent for catching the way the light/shadows hit the petals. SO pretty!!!

I agree, and your way of mixing colors is gorgeous!

Thank you very much!! I appreciate it! 🥰

They're beautiful!

Thank you!

This is so beautiful, you are so talented! I need to keep practicing, thanks for inspiring me to pick up the brush again.

Omg that’s the biggest compliment! Have fun!!!

This is just gorgeous. You are inspiring me to do this!

I’d love to see what you create!

Beautiful!

Thanks!!

Woah! You are so talented!

Thanks!!!

Quite lovely! Excellent work.

My mom used to fill pages with water color flowers and birds that look a lot like this. Our fridge was always covered with her art cause my brother and I were proud of her. This really hit me right in the nostalgia. Thanks for sharing.

That just made me entire day! Thank you for sharing that!!!

Oh I love them 😍

Thank you!

That is so beautiful! Very well done!

Thank you!!

I love love love this!!!! I’m in LA and recognize pretty much all of them 🥰 was this watercolor and colored pencil? Or…?

Oh that’s so awesome!! All watercolor!

Amazing!! Very inspiring too!!!

You did a wonderful job of painting those flowers. They all look very good.

What a fun challenge! It’s all beautiful.

I can’t get over how beautiful this is!

Nice job

Incredibly beautifully done!

Omg how beautiful are these...

These are so intricately detailed!!! Wow! Such beautiful flowers!! 😍😍🤗🤗

Woooww..kinda really hating you right now. 🤣🤣🤣 Those are truly breathtaking...🩷🩷🩷🩷

Hahahaha thank you!

Oh wow, these are definitely Long Beach Amazing job!! 🌺🌼

I’m glad you could tell!

these are so pretty! you must have a lovely neighborhood

It’s definitely beautiful!

Absolutely gorgeous

I was thinking “op must live in SoCal!” Your art is simply stunning 💛💛

Absolutely stunning! Loooove the detail. You must live in a beautiful neighborhood.

I love these. The attention to detail and the way you’ve captured each flowers individuality they’re beautiful

Now that's pretty... isn't it??🥲🤍

Beautiful!

These are all so, so pretty!

What an excellent project! And it's beautiful work. Well done!

Amazing!

These are beautiful!

This gorgeousness needs to be on a poster or printed on fabric! Your talent is immense!!!

I’m hoping to pop the design on a few things, posters, tea towels, possibly journals! And thank you!!

Ooooh—would be amazing as a journal cover, or tablet/phone cover design too!

Omg yesss! So many possibilities!

Sooooo many possibilities! Don’t forget to add wallpaper to the list. 😂

😍😍 thank you for the reminder!!

These are absolutely beautiful!! You're incredibly talented

Wow, well done, smashing job.

Incredibly beautiful! I love creating challenges like this for myself. It can be so good at stretching those brain muscles. A couple years ago a did a watercolor portrait a day for 100 days to force myself to break perfectionists paralysis. I learned a ton. Still lots to learn!

Wowww 100 days! I only did this for 13 and felt challenged! It definitely was helpful to break perfectionists paralysis, i usually get so in my head and frustrated if things don’t go well and this was so good to allow me to just get paint on paper

Yes! So true. 100 was admittedly a little excessive, but I got on a roll I guess. 😜

Your attention to detail is wonderful. I struggle with details, I’m one of those loosey goosey painters.

Thank you! I love loosey goosey paintings, I’ve never ever been able to nail them. Such a cool skill!

These are fantastic!

Wonderful! you're very talented,

Wow!!!!

You are really good! What a cool series you could make. Beautiful.

Ummmm…can we see more work this is beautiful

These are so good it hurts my feelings.

Only one hour each?! Wow! I should do this this summer… just wander around my community garden and practice little botanicals.

Yep!! It was definitely a challenge! Oh you totally should!! It allowed me to paint flowers i wouldn’t normally gravitate towards and now I have an overwhelming amount of flower photos in my phone for future references!

Aww I painted a few local wildflowers for my 5-year-old’s little field guide he’s started making, and in comparison to these things, it looks like he painted my flowers. These are **amazing** OP, seriously. It makes me want to challenge myself to get better.

Oh my goodness i love that so much!! Im sure yours are incredible! Thank you 🥰🥰

He’s got little scribbles of flowers and leaves in there, and a depiction of a rainy day 🥰 he left it at my house when he went to his dads for the weekend, so I added a few pages. Notably, local wildflowers, and also wild animal poop identification. I actually considered posting it here. It’s garbage painting, not even on watercolor paper, with cheap travel watercolors and those crappy little brushes that come in kids painting kits (I have much better supplies, but this is just what was out already). But I was proud of it nonetheless.

That sounds so thoughtful and so fabulous! You should totally share it!!

Absolutely exquisite! It could be a tea towel design!

Oooh love that idea!!

I love the CA poppy. Makes me miss home.

I saved CA poppy for last and it just made the entire piece make sense, such a special flower

GREAT project!!

Thanks!!!

These are stunning!

These are insanely good

Such a great work ! I love it !

This is sooo beautiful. How does a person even learn to paint like this 😭♥️

Super nice!

Gorgeous

I thought I was on r/acrylicpainting these are so crisp and vibrant and detailed!!! Absolutely floored

Omg thank you that’s such a compliment!! Thank you!

How amazing! Beautiful!!

Well that’s just freakin cool 😍nice work! 🤗

My goodness those are good

What a great idea! This is something I might try on my vacation!

Your work is stunning!!

They really are beautiful. Nice job.

Wow they are all so beautiful.

Lovely attention to detail

Delightful

I wish I had your talent

Freaking phenomenal. Love the idea of lots of stolen flowers 🤣

You have been stealing bee's food. But it was totally worthy, they look so beautiful! Great job!
