After viewing Quick Tip 201 - Painting Grass a subscriber asked what techniques would be used to accomplish this while painting with watercolors. Artist/art teacher Dianne Mize shifts gears (and medium) to illustrate what watercolors can do.

  • Miss Mize, I could just hug you! I am painting my first commissioned watercolor and was struggling to get believable grasses in a shaded wood landscape. Your technique was exactly what my painting needed! Thank you so very much for sharing your immense knowledge and skills. You made this girl a very happy painter today by sharing this wonderful "quick tip!" God bless! XX
  • Thank you SO much for sharing this! I can’t wait to try it out and I’d LOVE to hear more of your watercolor tips!
  • Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial on watercolor! I learned so much. I love the brushwork and the luminosity of your watercolor painting. I will try this today! Mare
  • I would request that the camera person zoom in more often so the viewer can see your working in the painting more clearly. IPads are small and while it is nice to see you and the whole image, zooming in on the watercolor and your hand, would be very helpful. Thank you!
  • Excellent teaching!!! So glad I found you. I’m going to try this technique right away.
  • Thank you this was helpful, especially after I just watched a couple of other tutorials on making grass in watercolor, and yours gave a much better result and was much simpler!
  • Such a great technique. All done with a brush. This technique would apply to opaque medium as well. What a lovely result!
  • Great advice Dianne! Also, consider adding to this technique of taking an old un-used credit card and snipping the corners off to have tiny, small, medium and large edges to it. Just as the paint loses its water sheen on the paper, scrape your grass blades into the paper using the cut edges of the card. This can make great random grass marks depending on how small or large your corners are on the card. Since no colors were added to the base color the blades of grass will look three-dimensional.
  • Oh, thank you! I was just wishing that you might share your expertise on watercolors, and hopefully you will offer more!
  • I know it was difficult to do everything in a short amount of time, but longer close ups of painting would have been helpful. I had to take photos with camera to remember what was on paper. But still SO grateful for all you do for all of us sheltering in place.
