In this video I will show you how I painted these nasturtium flowers step-by-step, and walk you through detailed examples of how negative painting technique can enhance your watercolor work and allow you to create beautiful effects, including:
1. Adding beautiful backgrounds to your watercolor images, with lots of visual interest.
2. Creating smooth edges, without paint “leaking” from one object to another.
3. Painting the finest details without having to use messy masking fluid - including flower stamens and leaf veins.
4. Creating a better sense of of light by adjusting the “temperature” of your watercolors across large areas of paper (from warm to cold colors and back)
5. Creating better contrast by modifying values (light/dark)

Let's explore negative painting technique! In this video I will show you how this technique can enhance your work and allow you to create beautiful watercolor effects. Enjoy
Meraviglioso,👍
@Anna Bucclarelli you are an asset to the water color community. Really admire your work. Pls never stop.
Llll
Thank you so much
New generation of children should be taught to color outside the line. I remember in school my teacher will say over and over " Make sure you color inside the line" Now I struggle with my mind to grasp negative painting technique. I just have to practice every day. You do beautiful work thank you.
You are a fabulous teacher! I love the way you explain techniques and especially when you show stages of the paining side-by-side. Thank you so much!
Wow that’s awesome, negative space is kinda like painting backwards. It gives so much depth. I love it.
That’s such a good way of describing it 😊 painting backwards and planning shapes in reverse - exactly! 👌💕💕💕
Also, thanks for the transcripts. Because of them I can focus entirely on the video and then use the transcripts later to make a summary of key points for me to learn.
19:41 I was blown away by the leaf on the right suddenly popping out from the shadows!! I'd love to see the rest of your videos!!
The color harmony in this painting is amazing 🤩
Absolutely gorgeous. I love negative painting, sometimes easier for me to achieve the results I want. Thank you so much🎉
I agree. I don't like masking fluid. It's Messy many times. I like your negative technique ❤❤❤
You have a beautiful soothing voice, and a great teacher, thank you
I love this technique !!!! You are a very good teacher.
Thank you so much!
Such an amazing piece of art. Love it ! Thanks for the tutorial. You make it look so easy, I am sure it is really difficult. But I am going to give it a try.
So happy that I have found you, dear Anna! So incredibly beautiful. Thank you.
Welcome to the channel Kimberly! 😊💗
I have watched this 3 times over the last month, it is full of information I need. 🇦🇺
Absolutely stunning! I'll be watching this again and again - a lot to take in. Thank you :)
Thank you Ronda! Enjoy 😊❤️
What I learned from this tutorial is the white edge perimeter of the leaves. I've been practicing botanical leaves and negative painting on the veins but hadn't realized to do that on the edges of those in direct light. So beautiful, Anna and you make it look so easy!
Gorgeous painting. You make it look so easy but it demonstrates your intuition and skill. Has inspired me to keep trying to master this approach. Thanks.
I really like your teaching style , to the point with lost of information !
What an amazing video and final painting. This technique produces such depth and brilliant light. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Thank you so much 😀🩷
I had a lot of AHA! moments during this tutorial! Thank you so much Anna, amazing work as always!💕
I recall seeing this on early videos, but it didn't register until the explanation about what was actually being done- very eye opening. I really like the effect. I like the composition of this piece, as well- great work!
Wonderful, I really appreciate the tutorial because it shows a magnificent technique for painting floral arrangements, thank you for showing step by step how to proceed, thank you again
My pleasure 😊
Absolutely beautiful! These "complete" paintings, i. e. where the whole paper is covered, and the main subject is integrated with background objects, are my favourites.
I absolutely love your paintings and appreciate your very, very helpful instructions.
Absolutely stunning!😀
You are an excellent instructor and I love your work.
One of the best Nasturtium tutorials I have come across on TH-cam. I am trying to learn this video is very insightful.
Thank you Nivedita 💚 Enjoy!
Beautiful! Will be watching again 😊
Your videos are works of art in themselves. The painting is sped up and edited just right so we can watch as you narrate beautifully.
Corinne - thank you so much for your message! 💙 I really appreciate your feedback on the video quality as editing footage is the most time consuming thing for me 😊 it means a lot that you appreciate the effort and I feel encouraged to make more 😄
Glorious, Thanks very much Anna.x
Fantastic way to.paint! Great video and beautiful nasturtiums!
Thank you so much Maris 😀
Absolutely brilliant tutorial. Your commentary and the immediacy of your painting style together make instruction crystal clear. I have learnt so much about wet in wet and layering I had never thought to do before. Thank you, Anna, for the quality of your videos. Now, I must try to replicate your techniques in my watercolour pieces.
Thank you so much for your feedback Kathy! 😊😊😊💕
Thanks!
Thank you so much! 💜💜💜
Lovely color, delicate and harmonious !

Anna, with each video you bring joy, peace, inspiration, education and so much more! Thanks so much! Absolutely impressive work. I love how you manage layering the colors and gradually bringing contrast and harmony to the painting. Such an amazing master teacher. Much success and blessings.❤❤❤
How delightful to watch.
My favourite colours not to mention the actual flowers. This one I definitely need to try. I’m trying to learn the layering technique and not go in too hard with strong colours from the start. This will be a good test for me. Thanks for the wonderful video.
I really appreciate how you display start and finish side by side, that way we can know the goal as we go along. Great negative painting tutorial. Thank you so much!
This was an amazing tutorial on negative painting! I enjoyed painting along with you so much. I've always had a hard time thinking 'negatively' while painting ;) and this helped tremendously. I love my picture! Thank you Anna!

@@AnnaBucciarelli , one more question. Is it possible to download an outline elsewhere? I'm at patrion but couldn't find it.
Thanks 😌

Thank you so much for your feedback (sometimes I am self conscious about my voice because English is not my 1st language) this was an older video that seem to generate a lively discussion and I recently did a more detailed real-time follow up class using just leaves 😊 have a wonderful day!

Thank you again for an amazing tutorial Anna! I really really love this one. And the outcome is mesmerising. It's almost a dreamy fairytale visualisation.

You made it look so easy. Beautifully painted
Thank you so much Ruchi 😀 💜
Thanks you! Very useful lesson. So wonderful painting!
Absolutely stunning. I have been taking watercolor classes for a few years. I’ve been drawn to pours with masking off each dried value layers. Building darker values on top, masking, pouring until the darkest layer. I was been disappointed when removing the masking material since it lifts paint. I’m really interested in this technique. I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing your artwork.
Wow‼️Sehr schön‼️
This is me watching you paint! :O I love this technique soooo much! Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you Susan! Have a wonderful day ❤️

Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching others. I need to try this more often on a smaller scale.
Incredible! Love this video. Would love to try negative painting, but maybe on a simpler subject to begin with.
What an amazing video of instruction which such beautiful colours, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Anne!
Beautiful...thank you
This wonderful tutorial has given me the confidence I need to tackle the background of a hibiscus flower that I have painted but have been afraid to take the next step on. I'm looking forward to coming back to this one when our nasturtiums bloom, that will be more like September for me. Thankyou for your generosity.
Your comment made me so happy! 😊This is the reason why I started TH-cam in the first place - to share these things I’ve learned along the way in a way that makes sense for botanical Watercolorists primarily - that make it possible to create new and exciting botanical work! 💙💙💙 thank you!
Just wonderful 😊
Thank you so much! Helpful and beautiful.
So glad! Thank you Donna 💜
