You have, once again, outdone yourself Anastasia! Blessed be the watercolor gods! I now have most--if not all--the colours you used. Today, on a whim, I went to my favourite art supplies store (Blicks) and was able to get the last tube of Daniel Smith buff titanium which was one of the colors I was lacking. I had been mixing my own using titanium white, yellow ochre and a touch of French ultramarine, but having the Daniel Smith's is a game changer. I love to use it for creating a "glow". Having been born in a coastal town in Cuba 74 years ago, I love lighthouses and/or anything that has to do with the sea. I live in Miami, Florida, so the sea is a wonderful companion. God bless, and keep gracing us with your tutorials.

And I am a 45 minute drive from Cape Lighthouse Point which is a lovely place to paint en plein air! The lighthouse was erected in 1825 and has survived all the "lovely" hurricanes we've had in South Florida.

@raulalonso-aued5905 Месяц назад

One question and I shall cease and desist! Is it okay to use Winsor and Newton masking fluid instead of masking tape to mask out the ligthouse? Thank you!!!!!

@AnastasiaMily Месяц назад

I will look up Cape Lighthouse Point! I love "visiting" different lighthouses around the world online. Thank you. Lighthouses are magic. How exciting that you got Buff Titanium - I find it is one of the loveliest colours to have on the palette. You can mix gorgeous pastel tones mixing it with different vibrant colours - have fun! And as for the masking fluid, I have never tried using it to create straight lines so I am not sure how "crisp" the edges of the lighthouse would be if you used masking fluid. I think I've seen people use ruling pens, maybe it is a tool that could help you with that? Something like this: www.amazon.com/s?k=ruling+pen&ref=nb_sb_noss

Anastasia, you are the artist I am striving to be. Simplicity with beautiful colors, great composition . Even the style of music is what I listen to! I enjoy painting wet on wet and spontaneous landscapes the most.Steve Mitchell, the Mind of Watercolor, was how I started. I’m so very glad your channel showed up on my feed. Looking forward to all of your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent!😊❤

@AnastasiaMily Год назад

Oh thank you so much for your beautiful words! Glad we share the love for watercolour ✨ I believe there is absolutely nothing like it. Painting wet into wet and watching what watercolours would create always feel like magic ✨ I am a big fan of Steve Mitchell’s channel too, the videos are just so incredibly informative and calming at the same time. Thank you for being here 😊 Happy painting!

I also love all things lighthouse. We boat in the Pacific NW San Juan Islands and have the opportunity to see many of them. Thank you for the the amazing tutorial; I love your style of painting and your approach to teaching.

@AnastasiaMily Год назад

Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed this video 😊 Lighthouses are so beautiful, all of them. Boating in the Pacific NW sounds like an absolute dream. I hope to come back to the PNW one day and explore more of that magical corner of the world.

As you know, I am a big fan of your work and was very interested in how you tackled the clouds. Thank so much for sharing how you go about drawing the lighthouse. I can’t draw for quids but now will be giving lighthouses a go. I love the dinky little lighthouse at Ballina. 😍❤️

@AnastasiaMily Год назад

Thank you so much Julie! So glad you have found this video useful. I have seen many lighthouses around Australia but haven't been to the Ballina one. Had it look it up - it is so cute 😁 Reminds me of the Tacking Point lighthouse in Port Macquarie. Have fun drawing lighthouses!

love the lighthouse, I did your other one and it turned out good. Can you do a lighthouse on some rocks with waves crashing into the rocks/lighthouse. If I paint the rocks a darker brown, then the light blue for waves won't show up. I always use acrylic paint to add the splashing part. Thanks for your tutorials. love them and did get 100 % cotton paper. I see what you mean now.

@AnastasiaMily 3 месяца назад

Thank you for watching, and I am happy to know you are enjoying my videos! 100% cotton paper does make all the difference... For the lighthouse and the crashing waves, I actually also use splatters of white gouache for the pure white part of the waves. I might do the video one day soon, thank you for the idea.

@jeanetteadams8095 Год назад

I really enjoyed this. I too love to paint lighthouses and people always ask why I paint so many. This is much tighter than your usual style and I love both ways. Is there a reason you choose tape over fluid to mask?

@AnastasiaMily Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it Jeanette, thank you for watching. Lighthouses are such a wonderful subject to paint! I use tape as I always get crisper lines comparing to the masking fluid, plus is it generally less hassle to apply and to remove the tape 😁

@AnastasiaMily Год назад

Thank you for watching and for your kind words! So glad you are enjoying my videos. Not sure where you are located but you can try Etsy for handmade ceramic palettes like this one. Art supply shops have porcelain mixing palettes with wells, they are often shaped like a flower. Amazon could be an option too for porcelain palettes. A lovely day to you too!

Hi, I've followed several of your videos on Etchr. The sketch is very light here. Is there any way to get a darker version of it as well as a list of the colors you used. Thanx!

@AnastasiaMily Год назад

Hi, thank you for watching both my RU-vid videos and the Etchr classes. I can't do anything about the sketch being light here, sorry (it doesn't look light to me, maybe you could decrease brightness or increase contrast on the device you are watching). As for the list of colours, you can see all the materials, including the paints I used, in the description of the video.

@anitautheimhansdatter3111 Год назад

put the tape on the table before you stick it on the paper. takes away a bit of the stick

@AnastasiaMily Год назад

It's a great tip, thank you. I find that my tape+paper combination works well without having to take away some of the stickiness but some papers (especially not 100% cotton ones) tear more easily.
