I only found you a week ago, but I'm learning more from your videos than I have ever learned about watercolors before! I love your techniques & explanations and look forward to watching more of your videos. My watercolor paintings have improved dramatically over these past few days and I've only applied a couple of the techniques you demonstrated. You are a very talented and rare gift to this world! Thank you so much for sharing! 💜💜💜
Your skill level is beyond my loftiest goal, but is amazing to watch. Your control of the brush is astonishing to this very “green” beginner.
I absolutely love greens to the point that it's like it's my "soul" color, as an artist I love all colors, but I can be looking a color chart or anything with mixed colors, and not only will my eyes go right to the greens first - but I get a sort of "zing" in my chest - I can't explain it any other way (and no- it's not my pacemaker 😂)- but to me it represents life, nature, regrowth, restoration and renewal, and I'm so amazed at God's artistry of everything He created!! 🤩🥰🤗🧑🎨🎨🖼️👆👑✝️👑☝️🌱💚
I do too. I’ve made more green mix charts than any other. I paint a lot of leaves especially gum leaves because the aged leaves have so much character and I love granulated greens. Daniel Smiths undersea, cascade, green appetite and especially serpentine green with his primatek colours some amazing reactions take place wet in wet. Anna’s greens are not as natural as I usually paint and that’s why I love her work, it’s enchanting and a little unearthly and so it takes me out of my comfort zone. 🌿🎨🍃☘️.
Yep me too . Particularly all the olive tones !
I have watched so many tutorials and videos on different platforms, but they were just "paintalongs". What I learn from your videos is overwhelming! And I can apply it directly to my paintings. Thank you so much for this 🙏❤️
Thank you so much for your feedback Lisbeth 💕🌷 have a wonderful day!
She's amazing, isn't she?
Beautiful!! Tropical greens sounds like a treat . Thanks.
Excellent tutorial!!! Many thanks! And yes for the tropical greens and whatever else you'd like to show us!! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for a wonderful discussion on color theory & greens! I would enjoy seeing a tropical leaf demonstration. Using underpaintings is one of my favorite aspects of watercolor so I enjoy your techniques.
Both versions are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Lovely videos, you are so talented! I find your instruction inspiring and easy to watch. Tropical painting sounds interesting. Thank you for putting the time in to do this
This was a fabulous lesson! So helpful! I would love to see a video on tropical leaves.
This is such a wonderful tutorial. I probably have to rewatch the 3-layer technique a few more times to grasp the concept in greater detail, but I can't wait to try it out! Thank you for doing this.
Anna, I’m binging your videos and learning so much. I really appreciate the time you’ve taken in making these videos. I can only hope to aspire to painting like you :) I’ve been using DS granulating greens for my one layer leaves because I liked it and you showed me why. A lightbulb moment for me. Some day soon a 3 layer leaf! Thank you. So much
I really enjoyed this tutorial. It was easier to see the different color of the leaves with your pointing white arrow. Simply fantastic. It was an excellent tutorial. I am a beginner, but one can still enjoy the beauty of a leaf coming alive.
You may be the best watercolor instructor on You Tube! Thank you
Absolutely stunning.
Fantastic tutorial, thank you Anna!
Wonderful lesson! I just started watching your videos and I love your instruction and techniques!! Thank you so much!!
So lovely. Your brush work is so amazing to me because I have a tremor and when i try to focus like that my hand jumps even more. It is just mesmerizing. Love it.
So much technique in one video! That was packed full, a great reference to go back to! Thanks so much for sharing ❤️
Thank you Madeline 💜 glad you enjoyed it 😊
Lovely clear tutorial - thank-you so much.
Sus dibujos son simplemente sublimes.gracias por compartir su talento.
Thank you so much for not just this tutorial alone but also for your entire channel. You content is so much knowledge and experience and im inspired watching your videos. I hope one day i can get somewhere near your level. Thank you again
Stunning, thank you.!!
joining your Patreon today! love your teaching, and the quiet Chopin or Bach Gounod in the backgrounds, with your soothing voice. You're amazing!
Thank you Peggy! 💜 welcome to the channel 😊 enjoy!
Amazing! Yes to tropical leaves!
Thank you! I posted a tropical leaves tutorial a few months after ❤️
Thank you so much for these, you’re a great teacher :)
❤️❤️❤️
I learn so much from your tutorials, maybe one day I will be able to paint as beautifully you!!😊💜🥰
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial.. Both the techniques are useful and interesting..
Dear Anna, your beautiful paintings are the pleasure for my eyes, and your deep gentle voice is the music for my ears! Thank you for your videos and detailed explanation! You changed my opinion about water colors ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words Marishka! I am delighted to hear you are enjoying the videos 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 have a wonderful day!
Thanks for your tutorials. Happy New Year !
❤️🎄
beautiful, great lesson.
Love your tutorials. You are a wonderful teacher.
Thank you 😊🍃 Gave a wonderful weekend!
Thank you for providing the beginner version!
💚 thank you for watching Nat! I’ll keep experimenting with the format of my tutorials and provide a range of content from beginner to advanced 😊
Incredible!
So nicely explained and great idea to separate the greenery from the flowers. Beautiful example
Like a visual mukbang where I, always, want more 💚
Clear, beautifully made video and lovely paintings! Actually, I like the "simpler", or more loose painting very much, but the choice of style of course also depends on the purpose of your work. As I said before, your beautiful, tighter style pictures would look great as fabric and wallpaper patterns!
Спасибо. Урок замечательный!
Спасибо Инна!
ang ganda po pagpinta buhay na buhay ang bulaklak
Amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing all this valuable information about greens and leaves.
Thank you Suzanne! 💚😊
So much info. Thanks!
💕💕💕
simply amazing.
I've just discovered your great channel yesterday and now I can't stop watching ... Every detail of your videos is so elegant .. ,So I wanted to thank you 🖤🌼.. please keep up the great work 🔥
Thank you!
Thankyou Anna - love both techniques! Thankyou for sharing 😄
💚💚💚
I learned a lot from this tutorial. Many thanks Anna!
❤️
Thanks Anna¡ So useful explanations¡ I love your accent¡ Also, I'm in the group that considers the cauliflower effects a very useful technique to bring textures, of course, this must be controlled.
I love Anna!
😊😊😊
😱 What magic did I see!!!! ❤️
❤️😊
Great video again Anna! As always you have in depth colour theory tips. I created a maple leaf piece last year which turned out to be a study in greens! As you mentioned it's very challenging even for experienced painters. It's mind-blowing how many shades & tonal variations are possible in one colour! This piece turned out to be my most time consuming and challenging to date. I'll tag you to show you how it turned out!
Great! Thank you Nathan I can’t wait to see it! 😊😊😊
So good! Thank you for this.
💚
Merci beaucoup Anna pour cette vidéo extrêmement inspirante et instructive!
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Such a great tutorial!!! Thank you!!!! 👏
Thank you Pamela 💗
Love your tutorials, and bonus point - your voice is very soothing.
Thank you 😊💕💕💕🌿
Very useful tutorial. Thankyou.
Leaves me spellbound.
Love it! Thank you.
💚
Really beautiful. 🥰
I love both but think I actually prefer the second more loose leaves , lovely 😊
Anna, I love the 3 layers version but OMG the beginner friendly version is so amazing- the textures, the water cauliflower effect - all what I love about watercolors! And I would never consider dropping water into paint a mistake! It's what makes watercolors so awesome - to extract all these fun reactions of water with paint! I love the video Anna!
THANK YOU!!!!! I am so happy you enjoyed it Jo 💚 tbh I've been working on it since May - just writing and re-writing the script lol really wanted to cover all the different things I know here.... the granulation [as much as i avoid it in glazing] is something wonderful! I want to try more of granulating techniques but I am also currently obsessing over blue skies after seeing your gorgeous blue cloud washes recently!!!! 💚
@@AnnaBucciarelli And qor watercolors are sooo good for having fun, so many unpredictable "bleeds". I had so much fun with painting the sky with them! And it's 14x20, it's huge! and I hanged it in the living room! I can't stop starring on it hah. But as for your video, I am so grateful for it, I just simply can't paint leaves and I'm sitting at this moment and practicing on scraps of paper with your video on constant replay :D
Thanks for your sample on the different levels of green. Absolutely beautiful result!😊
Amazing, thank you for sharing :)
This was so helpful, even from a digital painting perspective! I couldn't wrap my head around how to break down leaves in a way my brain could understand so I could "build" them. This video did that for me, thank you so much! I plan to work on traditional watercolor as well, so I'll definitely be coming back to this :)
I am sooo happy to hear that 💚 I do a ton of work digitally and you are right - it’s the same principles 😊😊😊
@@AnnaBucciarelli if u like come to cooking big help for me 🙏🙏🙏
Beautifully painted.I usually paint with oil pastels but your technique is really perfect and makes me want to try watercolour.Tropical plants would really be interesting to study.congratulations and thanks
Thank you Emanuela ❤️
Many thanks for this clear and concise teaching moment
💚
Love this video, I can watch it over and over to really absorb all the nuances. Excellent instruction.
Thank you Claudia!!! 💕💕💕
I'm watching this video like I used to listen to my favorite albums! Thank you sooo much for sharing your gift, Anna. I'm a beginner and this is the first leaves video that knocked out of of the park!
@@lynnmccoysloan7705 thank you so much for your kind words 💜 I am encouraged to record more! 😊
@@AnnaBucciarelli Thank you! You mentioned tropical flowers/greens tutorial? This Florida girl would love that! 😊

Really amazing and beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 💚
Beautiful work! I subscribed....thank you.
Thank you Mary! Welcome to the channel 💜
This is an amazing video. 👌👌 May you continue to grow.
💚
I have just found you…..I do want to start doing some water color and to be truthful…..I am not doing so good…..You totally amazed me with those leaves! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent! WOW!
Welcome to the channel Mickey! Thank you for your kind words ❤️ Watercolor is one of the most enjoyable mediums I’ve ever tried and although it takes some time to get used used it will bring you so much joy I promise! Just start slow, use your favourite colors, and most importantly use good 100% cotton paper (this is absolutely essential because watercolors don’t work on regular paper) 😊 have a wonderful day!
Just reading Al stholmans coloring leather ,he talks about saturation and layering,this video really hits home.🤩
So glad to hear that - sometimes I get into the details and wonder if I am boring people 😊 Thank you David!
thanks
Waooo Fantastic work 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👍🏼👌👌👌

Hi Anna, your paintings are so fresh and colors are so beautiful, I especially love the 3 layer version (still so fresh). I mostly do portrait painting but will use your techniques to improve my work. I have also started dappling in birds and florals after being inspired by your work...Thank you so much! ( BTW...did you see my last name)?
I would love a video on painting tropical leaves. I live In a tropical climate and am embarking on a project to create a series of leaf paintings of all the different leaves in my yard. I would also appreciate hints on how to paint leaves that have red streaks or marks in them without making mud. I'm sure I will be referring back to this video (and the hopefully upcoming one) repeatedly.
I love the granulation in the one-layer version. I'm wondering if a granulating paint would work well as a second layer over non-granulating colours. I guess I'll have to give it a try.
Thank you Anita. I hear you - lots of gorgeous tropical greens with beautiful red spots. I am in the process of choosing a reference photo ! 🍃💕 Granulating pigments are no good for glazing since they completely obscure the underlying layers… in some cases maybe as a second layer for wet “dirty” porous look (I am looking at wet chestnuts at the moment chestnut 🌰) I may be completely off here but I am talking strictly realistic Watercolor. For more decorative textured illustrations it may work much better but I never tried (I use gouache for decorative work).
Could you show us more one layer paintings please? I really enjoyed this tutorial.
👍👍👍👍
