Those two Rockwell paints are stunning together. Their burnt sienna is unlike any other burnt sienna I’ve tried.
Thank you for watching! Their Burnt Sienna is very similar to Transparent Red Oxide by Daniel Smith - it is more “rusty” and it granulates. It is a lot of fun!
Wow! When you put the sun in, the whole picture just popped and turned into 3d. It’s really lovely.
Thank you so much 😊 These little details can really transform a painting ✨
I am inspired Your video style is wonderful - quiet music and little to no distracting talk. The combination of these 2 colors is magical.
So wonderful to know you feel inspired by this video! Thank you for watching
That is so beautiful Anastasia. I'm a beginner and appreciate your inspiring tutorials and your reminders to have fun with the medium. I really have to remember that rather than getting frustrated. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment! So happy my videos are helping you in your watercolours journey. You are right, it is so easy to get frustrated with this free-spirited medium, but it is so much easier when we let go of expectations and simply play with it 😊 Have fun!
Oh dear.... This is so beautiful.... Exactly the style i've been looking for, for months. Abstract, minimal colors and wet in wet. Loving it, thanks for sharing. And my favorite color, Payne's Grey.
So glad you enjoyed it 😊 Thank you for watching! And Payne’s Grey is such a beautiful colour to play with ✨
Payne's grey for the win. It's my favourite colour out if them all. It's so beautiful ❤️
I absolutely love your style. Magical process here. Thank you!
Thank you so much for such lovely feedback!
That Payne's Grey is gorgeous! I love how this came out! I'm normally a very detailed, realistic painter (well, surrealistic), but these types of abstract landscapes are my favorite and how I always end up creating them.
I love that Payne’s Grey, it is such a strong colour. I agree, these loose landscapes are such incredible fun to create ✨
Absolutely loved this piece and the techniques you used. Can't wait to watch other pieces! Thank you!
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Your control and restraint when playing with textures is amazing. I also think you have a real skill for adding in necessary info to these videos in text in a way that isn't intrusive.
Thank you for such lovely feedback! So glad to know you like the way I present the information in my videos.
Absolutely amazing
Thank you so much!
Love how the drips imply root growth and depth. Great colours - I see why you like this Payne's Grey in particular.
Thank you so much! I have not thought about this way but you are so right - those drips do look very much like roots... I love it!
Absolutely stunning! Thank you!
Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
Love this. At the beginning I saw a seascape, but now it is different. Just lovely
Thank you! How amazing that you saw a seascape first ✨
So helpful to see using a dryer to control the process, and not just go from a wet to dry state for another layer. Also love your pigment references- rare on the tutorials I watch. Oh PR101 I am in love with you. Thank you for this great video. Beautiful results.
Thank you for such wonderful feedback Susan! Glad to know you enjoyed the video 😊 I love learning about different pigments our paints are made of, and how they are used by different manufacturers. I absolutely adore PR101 too - such a gorgeously warm pigment 🧡
Wow! It’s so moody and deep. Textures are amazing! Love watching your process, so relaxing to watch. Thank you so much for sharing. Your videos are really inspiring
Thank you so much for such amazing feedback 😊 Glad you enjoyed this video!
I just love how this painting developed, really lovely. I have only recently found your channel and am now binge-watching!! This is the type of painting that I love and your videos are so helpful and inspiring.
So glad to know that - thank you for your kind words and for being here :)

I found you on instagram yesterday and this is the first of your videos I’m watching. I can honestly say I think I have learned more from this one video here than I have in the last month watching tutorials. Thank you!
I am so glad to hear that Carine - thank you so much for such wonderful feedback. Happy painting!
This is a whole lot of fun. Thank you very much and I love your piano music in the background too. It’s great. ROBERT.

Love how this all flows together, I'm going to try it ! 😊
Thank you so much, have fun!
Very beautiful and interesting painting. You make it look so fun to create!
Thank you so much Kathy. Playing with watercolours is so much fun indeed!
Working with 2 or 3 colors is the way I like to go. This finished beautifully.
I love having those limitations, they help to create harmonious paintings. Thank you so much!
Really loved watching your process and seeing the painting develop over time. Extraordinary work. Thank you
Thank you for watching, and for your kind words 😊

Stunning
Thank you so much Susan!
Allo Anastasia, I love this loose watercolor landscape :) and very much appreciate that we have a look on your colours palette on the right side. It is very useful to be able to see the paint consistency ect..... I would love to see more of this in your futur tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us...... :))🥰
Thank you for watching, and for your kind words 😊 And for the feedback! With my current setup it is challenging to include my regularly used large palette but I can do it for the paintings where I use two or three colours only.
@@AnastasiaMily Many thanks 🙏
All I can say is that you freaking ROCK!😎🎉❤️
Thank you so much 😍
Lovely, thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Gorgeous x
Thank you so much!
Amazing what you can do when you let your imagination run free with two power colors! Might be fun to paint a nocturne - perhaps a snow scene? - with those two colors, maybe some masking fluid, possibly a couple of other deep blues like indigo or a violet. 🤔
I love that you call these "power colours", they truly are!! It sounds like a wonderful idea for a painting. Indigo and Payne's Grey play so well together.
Beautiful, thank you 😊
Thank you for watching and for your kind words 😊
Truly appreciate your talent,
Thank you so much!
Very creative!!!!💖
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful, beautiful, Beautiful ❤❤❤fron Brazil
Thank you for watching!
New to watercolor from acrylic I like the natural blend of colors
Watercolors have so much flow comparing to the acrylics! It is such a fun medium, and it feels like it blends on the wet paper all by itself, creating surprising effects. Enjoy your watercolour journey ✨
Thank you! I'm inspired to limit myself to two colors.
Thank you for watching Joyce! It is so freeing to limit yourself to just two or three colours and focus on what they can do together.
Beautiful
Thank you so much!
So beautiful so creating, wonderful 😍😍😍
Thank you for your lovely comment 😊
Gorgeous ❤
Thank you so much!
Excellent!
Thank you 😊
Very cool! New subbie! Love your style! Thx for sharing.
Thank you for watching 😊
I love it
Will try to paint on black aquarelle paper
I love to see how your talent will show
Thank you
Happy 2023 to you
Thank you ✨ I’ve never painted on black paper, and I am intrigued! Happy 2023 to you too
beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Wow❤
Thank you 😊
👏👏👏👏👏👏🎶📽️🖌️🎨
Thank you for watching 😊
How did I come across your channel only today? Your style is just beautiful. Now I have to catch up with your videos. Thanks for sharing your work.
Thank you for being here and for your kind words! So glad you are enjoying my videos. Happy painting!
I really must try this.
Early on when the paint ran down, leaving long gravestone? shapes.....I thought these looked a little like standing stones. Reminded me of an ancient stone circle with the high ground above. I'll try this when I can, maybe adding a textured wash to the ' stones'. Evoking a scene long ago where people would gather for ceremonies. Well......that's my imagination running wild. 😀
It is always so fascinating to learn what a viewer notices in an artwork. I can see those standing stones now too. Adding texture to such shapes is an amazing idea - have fun! And thank you for watching :)
@@AnastasiaMily Since watching painting tutorials I now look at things differently. A tree. ........how would I paint that? A rock.....how would I paint that?
Really opens your eyes 😀
It truly does! Artists can never look at things the same way as non-artists 😁 Always observing and thinking how to transform an object or a scene into a 2d image
no se ni entiendo nada de ingles pero tus obras me fascinan no veo que uses muchos colores sin embargo estan todo tan equilibrado que me quedo sorprendida gracias por regalarnos tanta belleza
Thank you for your kind words! Using a couple of colours only does make it easier to create a balanced painting 😊
Love Your Style and this one of my absolute favourite. I will try this one out, but I have real hard following tutorials and my patience waiting for layers to dry are even worse. 😊
Thank you so much Ann-Marie! I find that playing with watercolours at our own pace is an amazing way to learn and discover new ways to create
Thank you so much
Thank you for watching!
Lovely painting,I have to watch it again to see where these trees at the left came from. (I mean the soft impressions ) .
My volume was low and I heard the piano ,but that other sound ,I was under the impression that some electrical device was going to catch fire😀...
Thank you for watching 😊 and for the feedback on the music 😁
Superbe enjoy the process like a meditation than you I will try it.
Thank you so much Jocelyn. It does feel like meditation :) Have fun painting!
Thank you ,love your loose Watercolor. I can't wait to paint along with you .
I’ve been doing watercolors for fifteen years. Started with very realistic paintings, moved to a looser style and now discovered your lovely landscapes. Anxious to try your process. Have you ever done this on Yupo stock?
Watercolour sure takes us all on a beautiful journey! Thank you for your kind words about my art. I tried Yupo a couple of times a few years ago and I really loved the process and the crazy results but I still prefer to paint on cotton paper... Yupo is a bit too "slippery" for me :)
Wow. Um, my only 'disappointment' is when you added those trees in front of the big 'sublime' trees. That tree (the leafs make them look as one), the way you achieved that 'ethereal' feeling in it with that touch of sun reflection or whatever (evidently I'm neither an artist or art critic): I was mesmerized by it. See it at 7:08 BEFORE you added the other trees. You practiced MAGIC there: How the heck could you visualize that touch! Anyways, beautiful work; I will have to be contented with going back to 7:08 to stay in that 'mystical' mood. 😇
Thank you for this - I am always curious how my work is perceived by the viewer, so reading about how you responded to the process was fascinating. The play of the warm and the cool colours produces atmospheric results and also an illusion of light. Just the two colours, the warm and the cool, combined together here created that magic 😊 Thank you again for sharing your thoughts!
Learning a lot from you. Which paper do you use. I would like to follow your tips and style. As paper is so important I want to know which papers you recommend. Thanks for sharing
Thank you - so glad to know you are learning new things from my videos. I use cold press 100% cotton paper, mostly Baohong Master's Choice brand. I am not sure where you are located as I know that Baohong is not easily available everywhere. Arches is amazing too but more pricey. Fabriano Artistico is a brilliant option as well. The results you get when painting on the professional grade paper are so worth it...
Love your work so much! Been trying to attempt your videos. Your work is so beautiful. What is the item you use to prop your paper up on one side so the water flows toward you while you paint? I have used random items but my paper slips off. Thank you.
Thank you so much 😊 That item has a funny backstory as it was part of the packaging our new washing machine came with :) I looked at it and thought it was perfect for my studio! But a similar support can be easily made by folding rigid cardboard into a prism shape and taping it together.
@@AnastasiaMily I love this story! Thank you so much for responding and for the tip. All this time and I didn’t know you should tip your paper while painting. Thank you again and your work is very beautiful and it’s peaceful to watch you create. God bless
Love it ! ❤❤❤ Which paper do you use ?
Thank you so much! This was painted on Baohong "Academy" 100% cotton 300 gsm cold press paper block
when u paint the sun i thought the whole paintings beauty is gone ....But it didn't happen that way.....( sri lankan )
The sun balances the whole composition. Thank you for watching!
Where do you buy the Rockwell watercolours from? Fabulous granulation and I know that Angela Fehr uses Rockwell paints.
Hi Julie, I got the paints directly from Rockwell (they kindly sent me some paint to test last year, and I really like some of those paints!). I believe you can buy from their website, and they are based in Canada. They list all the pigments in the description of each paint, and it is worth researching those pigments before buying as some are not lightfast.
Art Spectrum's Payne's Grey is very similar to Rockwell's.
@@AnastasiaMily thank you so much for replying. 👍❤️
What's it called optical illusions. There's several in this painting. Look closer to see just how this artist tricks the mind.
How interesting you see optical illusions here. Because I can't see them! Art truly is in the eye of the beholder.
Do you think I could use Daniel Smith’s paint sticks instead of fresh paint from a tube? Have you tried one? I’m wondering how the paint will move on the paper once you add the water. Thank you.
I’ve never tried the sticks, but I am intrigued by the idea of them. I believe the sticks would behave differently to freshly squeezed paint, as I think the concentration of pigment is much higher in the tube… so the colours would not flow that freely when water is added. But since I haven’t tried the sticks, I can’t be 100% sure 😁
Wonderfully beautiful watercolors. How can I save them?
Thank you so much! By “save” do you mean bookmarking the videos for future reference or downloading them?
Love you wonerful use of very SIMPLE colors, I think using the Correct paper is cruical, isn't it ?😅
Thank you so much! The paper is very important indeed - I find that 100% cotton paper by a good brand is key to achieving the results I am after.
Buongiorno vuol essere così gentile da indicarmi che tipo di carta è meglio usare per il dipinto acquerello, Grazie.
Of course - I always recommend using 100% cotton paper for best results. There are three types of surface in watercolour paper - hot press (smooth), cold press (slightly textured), and rough (heavily textured). I prefer cold press but I paint on hot press and rough too. If you are located in Italy there is a brand called Fabriano, they make amazing watercolour papers (and having been making paper for the last eight centuries…).
Ok grazie infinite..
Just a suggestion: instead of writing text in there, it would probably be better if you'd talk, because that way we can actually focus on what you are doing while listening to what you are saying. I have to press stop every time some writing appears on screen and I completely lose focus on what you are actually doing in the video. Quite frustrating also if instead of watching a 15min long video it becomes a 30min video if I have to pause every time to read what is written in there.
Dear Su,
Thank you for watching and for taking time to leave your feedback. There are multiple reasons (I won't go into details) why the current format is the only way I can present my videos in at the moment. It is either text over video or no videos to show my viewers at all. I am not saying I will never do voiceover videos but for now this is how my videos going to look like. There are many wonderful artists on this platform who very generously share their knowledge with the world in the way it works for them - voice or no voice. Maybe those artists' channels would be a better fit?
I hope you have a lovely day.
Just lovely!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful!
Thank you
