🎄🎉 Holiday special I’ve been working on for some time - here I will show you my Top 10 favorite watercolor tips and techniques using a "Partridge in a Pear Tree" as an example 🍐🐦 Thank you for your support this year ❤️ Happy Holidays!
These are perhaps the most brilliantly demonstrated examples of watercolour top tips on CZcams. Anna does make it look so effortless and graceful, which is no doubt the fruit of hundreds (or a few thousands) of hours of practice. The colours, shapes and textures are so well defined, yet they are soft and blend seamlessly. A truly artistic and beautifully creative Brushmaster at work.
Thank you Mark for your encouraging comments, I get a little tired of editing but knowing that people watch and find it useful gets me back to my laptop (and away from paints for a while) ❤️ Appreciate your feedback on the video and the artwork 😊 Happy New Year!
@@AnnaBucciarelli I can imagine all that editing will take its toll a bit. I think many CZcamsrs are driven by the stats too much. They say they have to upload new videos every week as a minimum to maintain or increase viewers and subscribers. It's a pity that ends up eating into the creative time of the artist.
You are appreciated very much by all your viewers and I'm sure some may sign up for online classes too. A Happy New Year to you too.
Merci,merci,merci pour tous ces conseils! Je vais me remettre à l'aquarelle...❤😊
Enjoy! 🩷😊
One of my favourite painting of yours. So nostalgic as the song is❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am glad you enjoyed it! One day I hope to illustrate all 12 days from the song 😊
@@AnnaBucciarelli oh that's great. Let me try too 😂
Your work is beautiful Congratulations
Beautiful colours. I have learnt that one good point to stick by is; Patience. Have the patience to ‘wait’ for the paint to dry so that you can layer your colours. A lot of enthusiasts do not wait for the colours to dry and end up painting ‘wet on wet’ ruining the picture.
Very beautiful and interesting video!😍
Happy Christmas to you too. It’s probably my favourite painting of yours so far. Looking forward to seeing more negative painting tutorials in the new year too.
Thank you so much Gillian! Happy Holidays 💕
Your compositions are exquisite!
Thank you Linda 🥰😊
Thanks
Merry Christmas
You're amazing, thanks so much for the great tips! Merry Christmas and may you and yours have a wonderful New Year!
A very happy holiday to you too Anna, thank you so much for your videos during the past year, looking forward to those coming in 2022 🤗
Happy holidays! 💕 Thank you Lesley!
Thanks so much for these tips. So helpful
❤️
I looove it Anna! The granulating colors on leaves and the blooms are absolutely fantastic. I love how it looks! And the blue background leaves add so much to the painting! There is no one else who can give us such a brilliant tips!
Merry Christmas Anna and Happy New Year! A year without flu, covid and homeschooling 🤣
Thank you so much for your support Jo, and for inspiring me with you beautiful watercolors! 💕 And right back at ya - we've all had two difficult years but kids and parents are going through a special kind of struggle. Wishing you a new year full of joy and art and no homeschooling xoxo 🎨💜
You're an inspiration! I love your videos!
Thank you Maris ❤️❤️❤️
Wishing you a Happy New year and merry Christmas too. Awaiting your valuable tutorials madam.
The way you edit your videos is wonderful!!!!! ❤️
Thank you soooooo much for noticing!! I spend so much time editing I sometimes wonder if viewers even notice so I really appreciate you taking the time to comment ❤️❤️❤️
@@AnnaBucciarelli I think we all notice ❤️👏; but your paintings trump all else!
Exemplary presentation! You have done an incredible amount of work editing footage and designing animations, text and graphics to achieve this classy standard of production.
Beautiful! And so helpful, thank you!
Thank you Maria ❤️ Happy new year!
So helpful and lovely work Merry christmas
Thank you Anna ... some very useful and well explained tips.
Thank you!!❤️☺️
Thank you,this is so helpful…Happy holidays to you too…
Happy holidays Veronica!
Fantastic! I love watching you paint. Very inspiring and informational.
Thank you Amy! ❤️ Happy holidays 🎄🎉
Thank you, Anna, for this excellent tutorial! As usual, your teaching is clear with examples, and so helpful. Your advice to see the work that didn’t work out as a work study is a great way to view a disappointing painting. I love your painting style so much. Happy holidays to you and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials in the new year.
❤️
One of the first real lessons I learned as a young artist is that there are no mistakes in art. Thank you Anna for your amazing tutorials. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and I look forward to learning from you in the new year.
Thank you Theresa ❤️🎄
No, that's not true, there ARE mistakes: simply they don't matter. As elsewhere, they are indispensable steps to grow.
Wonderful tips as always Anna, wishing you and your family a lovely holiday season and looking forward to more of you beautiful work in the new year.
Thank you so much for your support! Best wishes for a healthy and happy new year!
Anna this one was so much fun!! I learned a lot, love the colors!! ♥️♥️♥️
Hi Leann! Thank you so much 😊 I just sent you a message on PATREON ❤️
This is one of the best tutorials I have watched. Many thanks for a thorough overview! You're work and info are awesome!
Thank you Tanya ❤️ glad you enjoyed it
Great watercolour advice Anna. Lovely techniques and details.
Thank you Steve!!!
Merry Christmas! This is simply beautiful! The tips I will need to watch over again to get them stuck in my head and practice. Thank you so much. Can’t wait for the negative painting video.
Happy holidays!Thank you Paula!
Thank you, Anna, for this tutorial. As usual your teaching is clear, in depth with examples and so helpful! I love your painting style and enjoy all of your work so much. Excellent advice. Happy Holidays to you, also. I’m looking forward to more tutorials from you in the new year! Blessings!
Thank you Susan! ❤️ thank you for your support 😊 happy holidays! 🎄
Wonderful tips & a beautiful painting! I'm looking forward to whatever you decide to share with us in 2022! More on negative painting & granulating watercolors sounds exciting. Thank you for all you've taught me in 2021. Have a Very Merry Christmas❄
Thank you so much Linda! 💕💕💕
You are amazing! I have learned more from just one of your tutorials than dozens of others. Thank you so much for sharing :)
Thank you soooo much Cathy! My videos take a long time to make but I am so glad to hear you found them enjoyable ❤️ happy new year! 😊🎄
Hi Anna!
I hope all is well with you.
I am mesmerized by your beautiful watercolors, your teaching style, and your helpful tutorials. I am not new to watercolor and have followed many other teachers. I guess I consider myself somewhere in the upper portions of an intermediate level artist. I've watched your CZcams videos and looked at your Skillshare classes. I even printed out the materials for the peony and rose classes but still feel a bit intimidated to try them because of the intricate details, I have decided I just need to take the plunge and try them as my artistic goal is to be able to paint in that style. Thank you for your kind and generous teaching.
Thank you especially for tip #10! Not a mistake, nor a bad painting, just a study! It was gracious of you to show us what you felt were mistakes, ooops studies.. so it felt good that someone as amazing as you are with paint can go in a less than successful direction. Have a wonderful holiday season. I look forward to next year’s tutorials.
Glad you enjoyed it Alison! 💕 Thank you for watching and supporting my channel :)
One of the very best watercolour tutorials on CZcams …..Thank you so much for sharing your obvious expertise including the mistakes made along the way…..I have subscribed
Thank you so much and welcome to the channel! 😊
Thank you for sharing, these tips will be very helpful for me. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
Thank you Pamela! 😊❤️
Your work is amazing! I have learned so much through your incredible tutorials! Your teaching method is beyond compare!!! Looking forward to seeing more videos in the new year. Buon Natale to you and your family! 🌲🎁🎨
Thanks so much Renee 😊 Happy Holidays! 💕
This was wonderful. Informative and uplifting. Your work is beautiful. You are so generous to share it with us. I can't wait for your negative painting tutorial. I'm new to your channel and so happy to have found an artist who obviously loves the medium and realism.
Thank you so much Bobbie 💕! Welcome to the channel and happy Holidays!
I’m glad that I happened to find your channel this evening. I’m really enchanted by your paintings (especially the birds, this partridge and the peacock and the swan).
For some reason your works reminds me of “Ophelia” by John Everett Millais. 😊
(It’s half past 11 on New Year’s Eve here in Japan now (it’s chilly outside) so it’s 30 minutes early to say this but anyway, “Happy New Year !”)🎉
Welcome to the channel and thank you for your kind words ❤️ oh I love that painting! The warm greens in the water around Ophelia - I definitely see it 😊 I dream of visiting Japan one day - it fascinates me. I want to see Sakura blooming and all the beautiful gardens 🌸 Happy New Year!
Youre obviously very talented but way ahead of me at this moment in my art adventure. Good video though.
Thank you for the wonderful video of tips! I wish to take the opportunity to say that I love your video of the Chinese lanterns with the little snail and I notice that in this video towards the end you showed a previous painting of the lanterns with a dark background. It made me think that the Chinese lanterns might also be beautiful if painted in a night scene with moonlight falling on them 😊
The quail with the simplified vines are so beautiful. I really appreciate your tip #10. I've redone more than one painting and like you said, it's not a mistake because it became a learning experience! Very insightful way to value those experiences! 😊
Thank you so much 😊 happy new year!🎄❤️
@@AnnaBucciarelli pl
Heading over to Patreon!
Thank you! 😊❤️
Really super cute💕💕💕🙏
❤️
Great tip video! I learned a lot from this. I love the technique of adding light blue shapes to round out the composition. Your compositions are amazing. Maybe you’ve already done a video about how you plan your composition, but you are a master. Thanks again.
Thank you so much Sarah! 💜 I’ve been asked to do a composition tutorial and I am slowly working on it 😊 I cover some of my composition tricks in the “Deer and Persimmons” tutorial but a more comprehensive tutorial is coming ❤️
@@AnnaBucciarelli awesome thank you! I will check out the deer and persimmons video!
Thank you, again, and wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and blessed miracles in the New Year 💖
Thank you so much for your support and awesome comments this year - made me smile every time 💕 Wishing you a health and happy 2022! 💕
💖
thank you for the tips ms anna! hoping to gather my materials soon and study your lessons on skillshare😍❤️
Enjoy! 😊❤️ happy holidays!!!
Happy holiday to you Anna. I discovered your channel this year. Thanks for sharing vivid colours and tips to use them. Have a safe and relaxing holiday season. ( hows the oil painting going?) And a happy new year too!
Thank you Kat! You too! Oils are progressing but slower than I hoped, due to ongoing interruptions in school schedule [because of the pandemic]. I am getting used to constant delays at this point but staying optimistic for 2022. Have a healthy and happy new year!
Thanks so much! I love your work, and would love to be a good watercolorist! Thanks for sharing, and God bless you! Merry CHRISTmas!
Thank you! You too Danita!
By the way. I Love the Chinese Lantern painting with the dark Indigo background…
Thank you Sandy! It was good in theory, but I quickly realized I should have made the lanterns lighter if I wanted a background.... I may do a separate more nuanced video on all my unsuccessful experiments in the new year. Happy Holidays! 💕
Happy holidays to you too. Will you be on both platforms next year or just Patreon?
I plan to be on both - but of course like this past year it will depend on whether schools stay open and for how long. I have 2 little kids and every time numbers are up and they close schools, all work stops for me. It’s been a struggle to be honest…
Thank you for this highly useful information. Your paintings take my breath away! I'm wondering if you know of a listing of granulating colors? Does each manufacturer list them? Any help is appreciated. Happy Holidays to you!
Thank you Trina! Yes, they list them on the website usually, next to the pigment, and some manufacturers even have a separate range of super-granulating colors. Daniel Smith Calls theirs PRIMATEK - You can order a dot chart to try them all and pick the one you like most :) Happy Holidays! 💕
I understand where you are going with number 4 but I found that advice frustrating as a beginner because the paints that were being recommended instead of black are blacks. The indigo you use is indanthrone blue and a black. Payne’s Gray is ultramarine blue and a black. Neutral tint is a blue a violet and a black. Perylene green is a black pigment. A little more specificity around this is I think better advice. So, avoid single pigment blacks unless you are after a specific effect because convenience mixes give a better effect most of the time. I do agree that DS indigo is a great black for a beginner’s palette, I just wish that watercolor instructors would make more of a distinction between single pigment blacks and convenience mixes that are black plus something else.
Right, I agree. It's always difficult to include every detail into short CZcams tutorials and I omitted this details knowing people skip as soon as I start getting into the weeds [which hurts the channel]. I will mention at the next opportunity when I am doing a 'dark" subject and have more time. Thank you!
Very nice but please tell me the reference image source ❤❤❤❤
I don't understand granulating pigments. What are they and where are they😮
Hi Andrea, a large proportion of watercolors are considered Granulating pigments, including ultramarine. They just have larger particles of pigment that you can detect with you eyes, it gives your color stronger texture on paper. You may want to see this video where I talk about different texture techniques, including the use of super granulation: czcams.com/video/IPra-kiX45o/video.html
@@AnnaBucciarelli thank you so much for the info!❤️👌
Hi your work is so perfect n realistic I too post videos on art hope to reach ur level one day!😊
You can do it! Happy Holidays!
Please share the drawing
I provide drawings for all my compositions on PATREON
I am SO tired of the brainwashing around using black paint. I've seen beautiful works that have used black in their color mix. Old masters and lots of well known artists incorporate black into their mixes. The perpetuation of the myth that black is a no-no is a disservice. Let each artist determine which colors to use when they mix instead of proclaiming lies.
Ummm… this is why it’s called a TIP not a rule. You are right - black is fine, I work with it and gave several tutorials on this channel showcasing single pigment blacks. A “TIP” is intended to help beginners avoid muddy results which undoubtedly happens with single pigment blacks. I hope this clarifies it - no need to use strong language like “brainwashing” and “lies”. My channel is pretty balanced and I don’t appreciate the tone.
