Fabulous!!!! 🎉🎊👩🏻🎨⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi T! Thank you so much! I’m happy you enjoyed this!
What a wonderful portrait! I'm so thrilled that you love this palette. I am one of Ali's "Aligator Watercolour Community". We are an international group of portrait artists working in watercolour and predominantly on board (eg Aquaboard). I have known and worked with Ali for three years and I know how much went into producing this perfect palette of portrait pigments (lots of pees!). With the way our group tends to paint, it's allll about the layers as I know you're aware, so I loved that you could appreciate the layering effect from your portrait. It really does give any face character and a glow. Your layering looked super pigmented to me at the start but then look at the result! Just perfect. Anyway, love hearing other artist's impressions on a product I love. Thank you x 😃😉
Hello BeeDee 🐊 ! I am so happy to hear your enthusiasm for Ali & her collaboration with QoR on this perfect portrait paint palette! 😉☺️
I’ve yet to really get into Aquaboard, and I can’t wait to finally open the ones I have and get to painting🤩
Your praise is humbling and deeply appreciated-I very much look forward to playing more and more with Ali’s wonderfully curated portrait colors! Thank you so much! 👩🏻🎨 🎨 🖌️ 🫶🏼🤠
@@artonthecreek I hope you don't mind but I would love to pass an image of your finished portrait to Ali, she will absolutely love it!
@beedee4427 Thank you so much for your kindness! Ali may have seen my Instagram post featuring this piece already-I tagged her on that .
Feel free to share this video with her-I am honored! ☺️👩🏻🎨🫶🏼
@@artonthecreek Oh that's brilliant! I'll let her know anyway. She'll love it.
@beedee4427 thank you! It’s my pleasure ☺️🙏🏻
I love it! Thank you for sharing a good thing.
Thanks JoAnne! I’m glad this made you happy! Hope you’re having a good summer🩷
Really great! 🙌🏻 Portraits not my specialty-you go Ann-very nice work!! I just treated myself to an early birthday present of the QOR mini Urban set - testing it out today - love love these paints! Mini set is a fun travel size.
Thank you so much, Doreen! I’m happy to hear you have the mini urban set! The color mixes (and individual pans) are so very bright and vibrant!!
It's like looking at you, Ann... beautiful, lovely you!
Awww Laura you make me blush! Thank you so very much💜
I have noticed the portrait in your background set from time to time, depending on where you have been sitting, and admired it very much. Honestly, if you were simply to rattle off all of the colours used, I would imagine a bit of a horror show. However, they are extremely well balanced, and your portrait showed the nuances of these colours very well. Portraiture is not something I have a hankering to do myself, but that would never stop me admiring those that take to it like a duck to water, like you obviously have. I already love your charcoal and soft pastel portraits, and now I can add watercolour to the list! 🥰👩🏻🎨🎨🖌️😘👏🏻👏🏻
That praise is high, and I very humbly and sincerely thank you !!
For the longest time I didn’t like the portrait. It took 2 months of letting it sit for me to appreciate it…it almost made it to the garbage bin! I’m happy to say I just bought her a frame☺️
Yes, the colors in Ali’s set kind of blew my mind at first…then it all just made sense. So much more sense than any other combinations of colors for skin tones. Ali’s palette was truly a lightbulb moment for me.
Thank you 🩷🩷🩷
@@artonthecreek Excellent Ann, I’m so pleased you have now purchased a frame for this piece. She shall finally feel at home, and accepted. Such a relief she did not end up in the bin! It just goes to show how important it is to walk away from finished and unfinished pieces alike when we feel unhappy with it. I feel a little sick at the thought of just how many of my sketches and paintings did end up in my bin 😳 Oh well, I have now completely learned my lesson. 😊
@@anitadavidson1266 a valuable lesson to learn, and my road to wisdom is also paved in trashed-too-soon paintings.
We can’t look back, only forward 🩷
Wow! Do you think these would work well for minimal sketching styles (Sketching Scottie is my current obsession😂)?
Hi Rebecca! I just looked at a few of Sketching Scottie’s thumbnails and wow I can see why you’re obsessed! I’ll have to watch a few of his videos❤️
To answer your question, yes, absolutely I think these would work very well for his great portrait style and for urban sketching! Scottie does a lot of bright, clear work and this set would be a wonderful place for you to delve into minimal sketching! How fun! Enjoy🧡🫶🏼👩🏻🎨
Several months ago you did a painting of a beautiful black man in a hooded shirt. I’ve done a sketch placing all my values. Would these be good to use on his skin tones?? I am stuck and do not want to mess it up.
Oh wow thank you for remembering that painting! I was actually planning on redoing him with these paints!! 100% yes it would be wonderful to use these on any and all skin tones.
In case you don’t have it, here is the reference photo for that gentleman in the hoodie: pixabay.com/fr/photos/gens-hoodie-masculin-personne-875617/
Have fun with it!
