    What "rules"? I don't follow rules. Sure, if you're trying to copy Davinci, there could be rules if you're studying in Italy or Paris, but that's SO tedious. I know. I took a several week oil class with someone who trained in Italy and it was so tedious for just the underpainting that I couldn't finish the class. I'd love to be that accurate, but am I willing or able to spend that much time ... years ... working on a single painting? Absolutely not. I don't need instant gratification. However, I don't need someone else telling me I'm doing something "wrong". I'm always for learning better techniques, but to tell me I'm "doing it wrong", NOPE. I took one art class in HS and I was told exactly that. Never took another until the oil class ... too many rules. I'm also a recovering perfectionist!

It's ok to leave some smaller bits and bobs out and make the colors a little bigger and maybe some less of it all? I'm wanting to learn sweet little abstract for cards and bookmarks.

    This series is awesome and I'm loving it! At 76 and a newbie to the whole art world I need all the help I can get. I had bought that art nouveau set because I had never seen such lovely colors and didn't know how to pair what with what. I bought the regular big set of the Gansi Tambi also and I have two student grade paint sets. (I'm on my way LOL) So far I'm just playing trying to learn some tips, tricks and learning how to paint leaves and flowers...I like the loose style. Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think I'd care for abstract. Don't know what happened but sure am enjoying how to do watercolors in this manner. Thanks much for sharing and would love to see more and how to match up colors. The color cube is out the budget at the moment, but I know it would be helpful for me.

    Enjoyed watching the whole process and loved the colors you choose! I think the right side was definitely a great beach scene! 😂 Do you mind sharing the bottles you purchased for the gold mica? So many of them get clogged and don't work the way they say they do so I'm hopeful you found the magic ones 😂.

      I think I may have purchased them at Michael's, I'm not sure....but I found these on Amazon, which appear to be the same thing! Just use a needle or very fine wire to clean the tip out if you haven't used them in a long time and they clog 😉...and keep the lid on, lol! amzn.to/3y9ynhT

    I want to bring awareness to the fact that kuretake uses animal products in their paints. They are BEAUTIFUL but surely they can reformulate. They contain - animal hide glue, beeswax, sugar, sugar syrup, and glycerin

      I want to bring awareness to the fact that sugar and sugar syrup are not animals but plants!! Is beeswax endangered? The other listed ingredients are all byproducts!!! I love my Kuretake paints and have no problem with their formula!!

      I’m not bothered if my paints are made using animal products. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

    Warum gibt es keine deutschsprachigen Aquarell - Kurse?

      Ich bin mir nicht sicher, Liebes. Ich spreche nur Englisch, übersetze diesen Kommentar aber. Ich denke, Sie können die Einstellungen auf CZcams ändern, um Untertitel in den meisten Sprachen zu aktivieren. Ich hoffe, das hilft dir!

    I hope you enjoy the fun experimenting and testing we did today with watercolor powder and liquid watercolor. They are so much fun to play with! These are great for sparking creativity...which can be helpful to get out of a creative slump! My SketchBox Store front: bit.ly/4cLNayS I also found more of the dot pens on Amazon....link in description 😉

    That brush/water holder looks awesome but I can’t find the link in your description. Do you remember where you found it? I have the lovely art nouveau set as well. I have spent so much time watching artists use them I need to get them open and wet and get to playing with them. I love your style.

      Thank you, Sherry! I think I got that from Temu,...it's hard to link those, they keep changing. YES! It is time for you to get those paints wet! Please come join our Facebook group 😉

      Well thank you! Yes, wet on dry here....but I may add a little more water here and there 😉

    Ditto with the 75 yo lady. I am 82 and was an acrylic painter for several years. Watercolor makes more sense in a small area where I have to worrry about paint splatter etc. Love this.

      Yayy! Hopefully this was helpful! That's why I enjoy using so many various media...they all have their perks, and it keeps me from getting bored 😉

    I love that color combination. Watercolor is such an entertaining medium. Watching it dance on the paper & do its thing is just so much fun. I still love my acrylics but playing with watercolor just makes me so happy. I used watercolor for the first time when in my art class in college years ago & immediately fell in love with it. I just found your channel & love watching your creativity. Thank you. 🎨🖌️
