This is my top fav channel on CZcams! Thank you, again, dear Keiko Chan for the wonderful live here!!! <3 <3 <3
That is the most wonderful compliment. Thank you so much Sylvi, dankeschön! It really wouldn't be so joyful if it weren't for you and all the other participants, though. Truly appreciate the fun, fun chat and this sense of community that we have.
Thank you Keiko. Great tutorial🌟👏🏻❤
Thank you, Debbie! I'm happy you enjoyed it.
This is so pretty! 🤩
Thanks again Keiko, This is so much fun! :)
Oh yay you were quick to watch this one! That makes me so happy 🙂. Thank you Nina!

This one is so fun!
Thank you for this video
Thank you so much Stef for taking the time to comment - not just here but across the board. I truly appreciate it!
@@TheAlohaStudios You’re welcome. Im a fan!

Thank you, Stef 🙂
@@TheAlohaStudios You’re welcome. I have been trying this one.

@@StefBarber That Sounds wayyy prettier!
Es war wieder ein sehr schöner Livestream mit Dir - ich freu' mich schon auf den nächsten! Mahalo! 😘😘
@@sylviswatercolors Ganz lieben Dank, Sylvi!
The paint looks so gorgeous when and fresh! Totally not what I expected!
It can really be surprising! Especially the matte paints can look completely different when fresh or dry.
I like the colour. You definitely get an arm workout mulling paint and the end product is worth it.
Haha yes! I try to mull with both arms to give them both a workout 😉
Excited to do the project soon!
😘😘
❤❤❤
Danke liebe Irene!
Wunderschön 🤩
Great project! Can’t wait to get all the colors you used!
What set of paints are you using? If not a set, can you please list the colors? Thank you!
Thank you Lanelle! I used Jade vine (Phtalo turquoise), Moana (Prussian blue), Kohola (indigo), Deep sea (indanthrone blue, discontinued), Summer sky (azure blue), Kalani (ultramarine blue), Opera pink, Beach 2 (yellow ocher)
Wow, ❤
@@lisanordiek7743 🧡❤️
Einfach schön! :D
Danke dir Sylvi! 🌇
❤❤❤
😘😘
Really great tutorial. Thank you.
Thank you, Gill! Happy to hear it ☺
I would love to see watercolour and crayons or pastels as a combo. Simply because I have never done that and would love to explore. :)
Thank you! Definitely a strong contender for Aloha24August! I should make up my mind soon, August is round the corner

I love this, and I'm gonna try to make one like yours. I'm g;ad I found your channel, Thank you!
Thank you Stacey, that's lovely to hear!
Super fun session, as always, my dear Keiko ❤️ much love 😘🥰
Ach mensch, das war wieder soooo schön mit Dir - die Livestreams hier mit Dir sind einfach was ganz besonderes! Auch mit den Leuten, die fast immer da sind - wie Familie! <3
Sehr schönes Orange :D - Das wird ein tolles Set :D

Where can I find the Ceramic leaf pallette

Thank you for sharing! These are what I can do! I love to watercolor but I can’t draw. This will be fun!
@@destresswithyoga That makes me so happy to hear! I see that you have the word yoga in your handle. Yoga is my second favorite method to destress, right along with painting :)
These are perfect exercises to ‘clean ‘ up my palette.

@@joanpringle-canning2834 🥰💚💛
Lovely and meditative, while subtly showing colour mixing and composition and always an invitation to be gentle with ourselves and our art journeys--and to be playful ! Love your sense of humour too--and those sweet birds! Thank you for this, Keiko!
Thank you dear Susan! That's lovely to hear. I almost didn't include the birds, but as quick animal blobs are truly one of my fav things to draw I thought I'd include them.
❤
I just learned how to add crayons & Pastels for more depth to the waves & sunrise / sunset. Thank you for sharing for Free
Loved this lesson!
That's wonderful to hear. Thank you, Lanelle. Have a good Sunday!
Der Sailor Fude De Mannen verstopft nicht, wenn man wasserfeste Tinte einfüllt? Mega auch die Info zu den Ecoline Brushpens - hab welche, aber wusste weder, dass man die Spitze umdrehen kann, noch, dass man sie wieder befüllen kann... Danke für die vielen, wertvollen Infos!
Gute Frage! Die meisten gehen nicht und verstopfen den Füller. Es gibt aber wasserfeste Tinten von Rohrer & Klingner, die funktionieren super. Haben lustige Namen so wie Thea und Emma. Füller sollte man aber öfters reinigen, 1x im Monat. Auch super ist die Platinum Carbon Tinte.
Loved it 😍 even if this time I could not attend the actual live session, I spent a perfect Sunday afternoon (for me) with you 💚 much love to you Keiko, and James and the hot tub bubbles 🛁❤
Hahaha yes this is how we clean around here 😅 Thank you so much for watching the replay! See you in the next stream 😃
It’s great informative video as a beginner I learned a lot~^^ 훌륭한 내용의 비디오 감사합니다. 잘 배우고 갑니다 ~^^😊😊😊
Thank you! That's great to hear. Happy painting :-)
Thank you for sharing a very intriguing way of learning to use limited pallette, super excited to try.
That's wonderful to hear, thank you!
Limited palettes for the win 💖
Definitely! Thank you Alinarina.
Super Video❤ Danke für die tollen Tips 😘🤗
Das freut mich, Lisa! Lieben Dank.
