In this tutorial I will explain how to plan a complex and multi-coloured watercolor painting, with careful consideration of visual hierarchy and the way light interacts with your subject. You will learn how to “see” certain things about the composition and feel more confident in your approach to painting. You can use these principles in any multi-layered multi-colored painting that features a variety of overlapping details.

@@doratiscareno5856 thank you Dora! I am glad this was helpful 💜😊
Pas de compréhension si on ne maitrise pas l'a glais malheureusement
I love how you teach principles, rather than just “how to paint grapes”. Your color shifts makes everything so beautiful! Thank you.
Thank you 💜 it’s fun to think through the “why” not just “how”! happy to hear my explanations are enjoyable to other artists 😊
That's what I love about her. Knowing the why's helps use that technique on other projects consciously, knowing the how's, while also extremely helpful, help with that particular subject only unless you're already familiar with the why's. And in my opinion, with watercolors, it's extremely important to know the why's as well as the how's to create what you want. Anna shows a delightful mix of both.
I have no words, incredible painting! It’s amazing how you’re pulling out this blurred background leaves and grapes from ref photo and they are sharp on the painting but still it’s clear they are in the background
thank you so much Jo! 💚🍇💚🍇💚 I've been promising these grapes for a while and finally finished it. I am so happy it got a good response, but I think for next week I will do something less intense hehe:)
Hi, Anna! I just want to say how much I appreciate your channel. You've helped me so much with confidence, understanding the techniques, how to apply them and timing - which is tough in the beginning. The insight into your mind is invaluable paired with your soothing voice - I just can't say thank you enough 😊
NOW THIS IS WATERCOLOR ART. THOSE GRAPES. MY WORD!!!!!!!!!!! Dream level artistry. Can’t wait til I’m just as good 😍😍😍
This is beautiful. Although I am a beginner, I love that you have more advanced technique videos that explain the process!
Thank you Christie 💜 I have a mix of different levels here including beginner friendly tutorials - Enjoy! 😊
Exceptional painting and professional explained techniques!
Hi Anna, thank you for your wonderful grape tutorial, I've watched it several times and each time it takes my breath away, your use of colour is magical, I've no words that would be adequate, you're art is truly heavenly. X
This is beautiful and I learned so much. I love how all your paintings seem to glow. I am working toward perfecting my skills at botanical art following books and CZcams tutorials. I will join your Patreon channel and follow along to learn even more. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your experience.
this is amazing, great art, it has a lovely depth and colours are really great, thanks a lot for this video
Thank you so much May 😀
I am so glad you've touched on this composition and reference again. The first video was great and it inspired me to try it but then I chickened out. LOL! This helps me tremendously.
Thank you so much - It takes me a while to follow up on requests here, but I read every comment, and make a plan for the year based on what you guys are interested in seeing. I just wish I could work faster lol but editing takes forever! I will do a lotus flower next week I think. Something a bit more simple. Have a great week!
@@AnnaBucciarelli I am super excited about the lotus flower!! Thank you so much for all your hard work. You are the best teacher on youtube! 🥰
Breathtakingly beautiful.
Thank you very much!
Love the luminosity you captured in this piece! The transitions are also masterfully done. So...STUNNING!!!
Thank you so much Nathan! It took a while but I hear so many comments about wanting more grapes (who knew grapes were so popular lol? Now i want to do red ones:)))
I absolutely love your work! Always looking forward to your next video. Thank you Anna, you are awesome!
Thank you so much Marilia! 💚🍇💚🍇💚
Thank you for the detailed explanation accompanying your beautiful amazing art, such as which colors, layers and why you are using them. Your painting is so more beautiful compared to the reference!!!
Anna your paintings are so beautifull and I thank you very much to share all your knowledge through your tutorials.
Thank you Rose Marie 💜
The way you teach technique is an art in itself! New subscriber!!! This was an excellent class from a gifted artist!
Welcome to the channel Madeline 💜 thank you!
Love you tutorials! Your voice is perfect for this. You explain so well what your doing and why plus you provide color options as well as all info on brushes. Paper and paint choices. All so helpful! Thank you so much! Please keep doing these utubes! I Look forward to each one! ❤️💫
Glad you like them! 💚🍇 Thank you so much for your feedback:)
♥️♥️ I love the technique
I love this it’s so fresh looking I love your colour choices ❤️
Thank you Rachael!
Wonderful explanation of your beautiful techniques! I learned so much!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you:)
Full of information, full of love so thank you very much❤️
So nice of you Thank you!
Okay wow on your explaining how the breakdown of grapes and the choices of colors used for the right results. As a self taught beginner, I haven’t really done this with my paintings. I really should. I see how it actually works & makes a huge difference. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I am glad this was helpful 💜 you will start “seeing” these things over time as you practice I promise 😊💜
@@AnnaBucciarelli Thanks so much.
This is such a great breakdown of how to visualize a piece you're creating. The colors are simply gorgeous!! Very beautiful work!
On top of that I just LOVE how you respond to pretty much every single person!!! That's very uncommon in itself but on top of that you ALWAYS give such thoughtful and meaningful responses like you're conversing with a friend. It's truly incredible to see!!! And SOOO rare! I absolutely hope and wish (and know) you will be generously rewarded for the thought and care you put into making sure others are heard and appreciated. Along with all the helpful content you are providing all of us for free.
Sending many blessings your way!💞✨
Thank you so much for your comment Vlad - really made my day! 😊 I try my best to respond to everyone as I distinctly remember the time (about 10 years ago) when my favourite illustrator Kerby Rosanes responded to a brief email from me asking about a career in illustration. This was before I had any followers or big name clients (or real skills:) and it really blew me away and gave me confidence to pursue art as a career. There is so much talent (I see some absolute gems among my PATREON students) and I know all it takes is a bit of encouragement and inspiration (which is why I do these videos in the first place). I’ve been in virtual lockdown with my kids since early 2020 and this channel has given me a way to have a meaningful connection with the world. I just wish I had more time to dedicate to it (hopefully when the pandemic is over I will). Again thank you for watching and taking the time to write. Have a great day! 💕
@@AnnaBucciarelli Ohhh I'm so glad it did! 😁 Well that's just amazing, the story and how a decade later you're still paying it forward! That level of care is what I admire most about what you're doing and it definitely shows in your videos, responses, and the amount of replies. Again it's just SO rare to see with content creators especially as they grow bigger and bigger. It's amazing to think how many people you are helping in part because of her one response. Uh the power of spreading good 😇.
I completely agree, and unfortunately people don't always have someone in their lives to provide them with that encouragement and know how to go after what they want.
Well your connection certainty is meaningful thats for sure. Thanks you too! 😊
Excellent. Beautiful technique. Vibrant colours ❤
Wow this is so amazing and awesome of you to make this. Wonderful!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you very much!
Master piece. I followed your YT and skill share for long. Your skills and style improve a lot since last year. Really great job.
Great to hear! Thank you Lissa :)
That was so cool! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a very educative video on painting a very complex subject. Thank you🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video and principles explained beautifully @annabucciarelli. ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing and beautiful.Thank you.
Wonderful painting of grapes. The combination of colours make the painting look very realistic. Thank you for this tutorial, it is very informative.
Thank you so much Helena 😀
Wow! This is so colorful and beautiful. I have a long way to go to get to this stage. Thanks for putting your videos up. They are motivating.
Enjoy every step Sue! watercolor is a never ending learning process really but I find every new challenge is so satisfying 💜💜💜
The grapes look super realistic. Thanks for sharing 😊
Incredible art.
I've never heard so many colour names in a few minutes. Most of them completely unknown to me.
wow just WOW :) it's so beautiful beyond words Anna ;) I've learned so much
Thank you for this video tutorial, it is an excellent help for those of us who want to learn to paint in watercolor and have failed many times, thanks again
I liked it that you divided the whole process into 5 parts. Yes, it takes a lot of time to view, but you get a lot out of it. Beautiful painting!
Thank you Tim 😊💗
This is so helpful. I want to keep painting grapes over and over! Thanks, Anna
Thank you Kathy! There are so many 🍇 tyoes from blue to coral - and love painting them all ❤️ it’s really one of the most enjoyable subjects to paint with transparent pigments due to that wonderful glow 😊 Enjoy!
Great tips for watercoloring!
Wow! Wow!
I commented on your previous video about your coin designs but I think it would be awesome to see like a painting progress of your work from when you started until now! Your work is so beautiful. I hope to learn more from you, I'm just a newbie starting my journey.
Thanks for the idea! I will add it to my topic list :) Have a beautiful day!
Terrific!
Omg this is so pretty 😍
Thank you for sharing! Very useful! 😃
💜
Simply wow 🤩😍
Thank you!!💜
How can this painting be better than the actual photograph (which is amazing)? Your paintings are so ethereal. I noticed you wear some kind of hand brace. I suppose painting such majestic paintings puts quite a stress on your body. Truly appreciate the patience, hard work, and craft you obviously possess. I can’t wait to sign up for one of your classes. Please tell me you have online tutorials other than what is posted here on you tube.
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
Beautiful❤

Мне нравится ! Красота!
Spasibo! :)
I would definitely have stopped there, one of my main problems was over painting 😊
Hi there, I thoroughly enjoyed this painting tutorial, I am a complete amateur and am only just starting out trying to learn how to use watercolors - i found your video insightful, detailed, very methodical and helpful. However I don't have access to these paints, am using a very basic set of Reeves watercolor tube paints. Can you guide me on the appropriate colors to use/colors to create so as to attempt this painitng?
This is very beautiful painting, you are very good in water colour painting. I subscribe your channel for this, you are talented and skillful artist my friend. Very impressive artwork video presentation👏🌟✨
Thank you so much 😀
Definitely going to give this a shot. I used Arches 100% cold pressed and it dries out in minutes, absolutely no way it would stay wet for however long that background took you! Frustrating as everyone says it stays wet for ages, no idea what I'm doing wrong!
Sorry to hear about your Arches experience - you can try adding a medium to you water - I use QOR ox gall for larger washes to extend drying time. Use a spray bottle to re-wet. Also - do check your supplier - may just be a defective batch or a fake (I never buy paper off Amazon - always from a reputable art store). Hope this helps! 💜
Also, moving the wet brush along the paper a couple of times delays the drying time as the paper absorbs more water than just moving it one time.
Well, it definitely looks 3-dimensional. Painting the background first was a surprise, but the finished painting was still well balanced, and looked very good.
I love how you pronounce it thylo.
I admit I used to pronounce it wrong until one of my followers corrected me last year:)))))))))
Will this full tutorial be on Skillshare? So beautiful and would like to try this process.
Thank you Terryl ❤️ It’s on my PATREON 😊
Me gusta el dibujo quisiera saber si es con acuarela Daniel gracias
Yes, it’s Watercolor
Beau
Beautiful...I wonder if I can use acrylics...Thank you
Absolutely go for it using acrylics! the sequence of layers may be different though 💜
Thanks for your reply, Anna...
I subscribe you now!
thank you!
The link for the reference photo in my CZcams doesn't work. Is there any way you can fix it? Thanks!
So sorry - I seem to have lost the original link from Unsplash. Just uploaded one I had saved - try it again. Thank you for pointing it out!
Just beautiful. I am an absolute beginner and struggling. Im wondering if you have any normal time videos where you explain how you blend/soften your colours on the paper ??? It looks like you paint on the colour, then wipe over the edge with a very wet brush. I tried it, but of course it didnt work.
This video by Emily Artful is quite helpful to learn that technique if you haven't already:
czcams.com/video/1ttOyncnv4g/video.html
At least, this is where I learnt the technique from.
@@Saphia_ thank you, I will have a look. Although all these months later I actually have now progressed !!! thanks
@@lindyhawthorne2164 Glad to know that you have progressed! And hope the video helps, even if it's just a little bit
how are you able to blend your colors all the same? Because when I introduce a new color when its wet on wet, one of the color always dries differently than the others? My colors bloom when they dry. Any tips on how to avoid blooming? Thank you.
You’re art is amazing! I decided to try the two months free of skill share so I clicked on the link but it said one month not two. Then I went to try it anyway and it said 7 days. ?????
Thank you! Yes, it used to be 2 months, last year. Now it’s only 7 days. I apologize - they’ve been reducing the trial period lately and I should update all my descriptions.
I am confused. Some people say things on top should be painted using cool colors because they reflect the blue of the sky. Some say you have to use warm colors because they receive the most sunlight.
I'm really struggling with my paintings looking dull, and have tiny white spots in my washes. I don't know if it's not enough paint or water, but when I add more paint it then dries very dull. I use arches cold pressed and hot pressed , fabriano artisco, and bockingford rough. All the paints I use are artist quality, Winsor and Newton, Qor and Daniel smith. Does anyone have any tips for this??? What am I doing wrong lol??!!!
Have u tried using the wet on wet technique instead? It always helps to make the painting pop and give more depth. I've tried that and really loved how it turned out.
Maybe u can try adding a darker shade of paint while it's still wet, I love the effect it gives. Watercolour is very tricky sometimes cause u have to make sure it doesn't dry too fast otherwise the wet on wet technique won't work. But also it's best not to add too much water and after u add water to the brush u can dab on a paper towel to get rid of excess water. I've made that mistake where I added too much water by accident several times since I'm still learning as well.
Hope this helped! Been painting for months and I have fallen in love with this medium
Ashley....Parka Blogs did a very good blog post about this. Perhaps your sizing has gone bad from humidity or by how long your paper may have been sitting on a shelf before you used it? Not sure in your case but thought this might be helpful to you. Also they say it doesn't matter which side of the paper you paint on but some do say it matters. Here is a link for you. Hope this helps...www.parkablogs.com/picture/watercolour-paper-can-deteriorate-time
Hmmm... Ashley, this stumped me because paper is usually #1 issue. You seem to be using the right paper. Although I would say that cold pressed is trickier as it dries out too fast and dull sometimes... The paints should be fine too. So I would agree with comments below. Something must be in the water... But also - try doing a simple wash wet on wet - from a very saturated one o watered down - do you get a nice smooth transition from intense color (almost no water at all) to watered down? Another thing to consider is specific pigments you are using. Granulating and non staining pigments will for suree give you a dull blothchy look at times. Are you using something like Primatek from Daniel Smith? that can be an issue. Generally, if you use Quinacridone or Phthalo pigments from the brands you've mentioned on the paper you;ve mentioned it should be super vibrant. DM me on instagram @annam.m.bucciarelli and show me what it looks like. I will try to help you :)
Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply!! I'm I'm not sure of the shelf life of them paper, but it's new to me lol!!
I never even thought of the water being an issue.
Anna- I will send a a close up picture to you.
Again-thank you all!!! 😊
I bet those ten dislikes who doesn't have patience
Hehe probably 😊 it’s not for everyone! 💜
@@AnnaBucciarelli you are very good teacher. Thank you for posting this. I subscribed to your channel
У вас такая прекрасная прозрачная и яркая акварель! У меня так не получается. В погони за яркостью я перегружаю работу и она становится сильно темнее, чем хотелось бы. Не получается сохранить нежность и воздушность с такой яркостью цвета.
Prelepo
Como traducirlo a español, gracias
I am in favor of stopping. I have seen artists paint beautiful, intelligent, but some keep blendingand blending, until it looks very amateurish. They have destroyed the whole idea. It is a beautiful painting, and I envy your talent!
Thank you Irene. I definitely suffer from this - overpainting is my weakness:)
