Angela Fehr

Angela I love painting nature in watercolor. Letting watercolor play while doing that makes me happy!

i’d say so but our thoughts get in the way.

Well said! And thank you for another wonderful lesson.

Yes it’s how I love working with color too. I have studied and taken notes on arious sources regarding color but the best is painting and mixing. I did that last night and it was amazing.

This is so much fun Angela. Loved this tutorial. Thank you for your generosity.

Thanks for sharing Angela!

Another fantastic tutorial, Angela! I’ve often wondered how many people are scared away from watercolor because they believe you have to be technical. Your method is much more organic!

I’m one of Angela’s many fans! She brings joy and excitement to her lessons while being gentle and kind. Thank you for sharing!

Having fun with watercolor is so motivating and freeing – there’s no wrong way to learn how to paint in watercolor!

I agree! Allowing watercolor a chance to do its thing makes it come alive.

Thanks for sharing Angela!

Thank you for a fabulous tutorial Angela! I just met with a group of water painting friends for a day of painting, and your name came up several times because so many of them have been inspired by your work and your tutorials.

Angela, nice technique! You’ve captured the simplicity of watercolor so well and the end result is so pleasing!

Angela, you and your works are so inspiring! And your florals are some of the best!!!

Great article from a wonderful artist and teacher. I’ve had the opportunity to take several of Angela’s classes and enjoy her kind, gentle guidance and the online environment that fosters.

Wish I had read this article before I tried to paint the “loose and free” prompt. I’ll keep trying, using your suggestions.

As always, Angela, you get right to the heart of the matter. Thank you for another great article!

I love your tips, you are very inspiring and your teaching method speaks to my heart and inner artist.

So cool and I just may try this for a zazzle design challenge. I’m painting trees …Xmas trees and maybe this will work. I could paint bulbs…thanks

Great demonstration video. Thank you.

Great article Angela!

Yeeesssss! This is me: this is what I love best. I struggle sometimes with the urge to just mix colours and water and play with them, since I wind up with some puddles of colour that aren’t actually… a thing. But I still do it sometimes cause it’s just too much fun. Going to look for your videos and class. Thanks for this post!

Love Angela…as person and as artist…So beautiful colors and It gives us great joy and a great freedom of brushstrokes … I liked it very much

Thanks Angela…just what I needed to see in regards to this journey I’m on.😎🎨

(I put this at the end of your own article as well, under the video. No sense of direction here, sorry):

Angela the crack in the veneer reveals a new path. Overcoming that crack of fear and resistance is my greatest challenge in art and in writing. Your post backs a dream I had earlier this morning that shows that we have to pass Fear And Resistance in order to go FAR (to move at all, actually, but acronyms work better than long winded sentences).

You seem however to make the painting look absolutely delicious as you light up the page. Ah bliss!

Angela, I really appreciate your encouragement! I’ve been a “closet watercolor abstractist (sic)” since moving to the desert and starting a new series of work. My efforts are in my journal; small starts that I thought I’d work from. Now, with your wonderful presentation, I feel I can play on larger sheets with carefree abandon!

I definitely admire the skill of an artist that can paint with photo-realism but I seldom feel an emotional connection to their work. Abstracts always touch me in a way that I can’t find in any other way. Great article, Angela!

Thank you for reminding how fun it was to just create abstract backgrounds! Love, love, love your work and article. Thanks for the inspiration!

Who cares what they think, just paint. Compare your work to your past work, not anyone else’s. I love to paint atmospheric, loose but so far have not received reply as to how that differs from abstract. I wonder if those are one and the same?

Such a wonderful post…you really inspire a lot of people…

As usual, you go directly to the heart of the matter, clear away the clutter, and reveal the joy that we can take from our art, if we’ll only let ourselves.

Hi Angela,
I had no idea you were not only Canadian but in my same province! I’m in Nanaimo but hope someday to move to SaltSpring Island. To be able to live in the largest artist community in Canada would be a dream come true. I loved Mr. Dressup too, oh the wonders of his tickle trunk. I was in love with Finnigan, lol. Loved that dog! Thanks for the memories and I totally agree about loving yourself as an artist. it’s the biggest gift I’ve given myself over the years of learning. I love my own art and am unashamed of it now. Lovely to know you’re a fellow Canadian! Where are you in BC?

I know you! Thanks Angela for your guidance. Watercolor is way in my blood now.
