Very good, Thank you. I like the technique, plus I like that you are wearing the finger glove. I have one of these that came with a light box and never wear it. Now I will use it to protect my watercolour paper from hand oil/grease.
Hi Anna, do you have a tutorial for the whole squirrel, not only the technique for the tail? I am following your Patreon, but couldn’t find it there as well
I love how easy you make it.... in simple language... thank you. so, to understand better. Is becoming a Patreon simply deciding on one of the memberships available? I look forward to learning more. :)
Excellent technique and a great tip. I've steered clear of doing animal fur so far, but having seen this I think I might try painting squirrel or a cat. Thanks for a great short video.
Anna, if you were just starting to paint watercolors, which ten brushes would you buy? Type (wash, round, flat, etc), size, synthetic, maybe even brand. I will be subscribing to your Patreon channel, but I want to make sure I have the proper tools. I have already purchased the top ten colors you recommend (Winsor newton, Qor, Daniel Smith), have arches (cold pressed). I just need to purchase brushes. I know I may never paint like you, but if I, with a lot of practice, can be just a fraction as good as you, I’d be content. Satisfied. Have a good day.
Do you have a video about the paint texture and time in the paper? I discovered that I have dificult to umderstand this , I use celulose paper , cotton paper is really expensive in Brasil. Your art is very inspiring!!!!!!
Thank you ❤️ I agree the price of cotton is very high no matter where you go. But 50% cotton is minimum amount if you want to do more than 1 layer of color. otherwise it’s hard to get the paint to behave properly. Have you tried gouache ? It’s opaque Watercolor and it doesn’t require cotton paper. It’s a wonderful medium and I work with it half the time 😊
Thanks so much for making these videos, you’re so organized and thorough! I have a very specific question about stretching paper, apologies if you answered this in another video: I have a 9*12in, 140lb paper that already has a graphite drawing on on it (outline for the painting). The drawing is fairly dense, lots of detail. Is it still ok to soak the paper and then stretch it over plexiglass/hardwood? Or should I always do that first, before touching it with a pencil?
Thank you so much! 😊 The stretching process is not something I am very familiar with but I will do my best to answer. I have a very specific set of constrains - 2 little kids who get into my supplies, so I paint on 140 blocks of cold pressed Arches as they don’t require time consuming stretching, and I can always close them and put them away. I kind of got used to it over time and given that they sustain up to 4 washes, I don’t think I will ever switch… that said, stretching is a good technique to master but my guess is the graphite may bleed a bit if you put water over it (Depending on how soft your pencil is). I use 3H sometimes 4H pencils that don’t bleed at all when I paint over, so if you used hard pencil then I wouldn’t worry. But if it’s softer than that - you may see a bad result. Try maybe a small section to see what happens? I would recommend stretching first going forward, just based on the amount of water it’s less risky 😊 I hope this makes sense! ❤️
I typically freehand, except for portraits / faces of animals . I have an entire video on how I trace How to Draw Watercolor Outlines ✏️ Tips & Tricks for Beginners ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--U-gFLFblMg.html Thank you ❤️
@@AnnaBucciarelli thank you ver much for your drawing suggestions. I’m working on my drawing skills but capturing a good likeness for a portrait is beyond me at this time. I’ll try your technique!
