Hello! I'm Anthony. An independent artist and illustrator based near Paris in France. Watercolor painting was my first passion. So a few years ago I took out my old paints, and rekindled my love for watercolors. I decided to start charting some of my watercolor experiences in the form of my blog, “WatercolorAffair.com” (and now through my CZcams channel). My objective was to start sharing some of my hard won knowledge in the hope that it will help and inspire others to paint with watercolors!
Thank you for following !

This is the perfect tutorial for pinecones! I paint in watercolor and also in Coffee, and this will look wonderful in the coffee medium. I'm having a class in December, and this is the perfect project! Thank you - loved it!

[@lindastumpf8301]

the downfall with this video is that he doesn't really TEACH us about where and how to put the shadows under the tips of the pinecone. I muddled my way through it but needed more direction. Sorry Anthony, but please teach us with more 'detailed' information on future videos. Thank you.
