This was the key message: "architecture is just a tool and excuse to paint beautiful light and shadows". I needed this philosophical approach very much. It's not about the building, it's about the light that sits so beautifully on it. Thank you❤
What an excellent video!! This is easily one of the best I've seen in this genre, and you are clearly a master of your craft. Thank you very much for so generosly sharing your knowledge 🙂
My mom asked me to do watercolor architectural landscapes for her, but I've never used watercolor before. This is so helpful!! You're so confident with your strokes and have such a great command of color
This seems like just what I needed in my watercolor journey! Always wanted to paint cityscapes loose to balance my wholistic rational mind, but it is not easy to find tutorials that explain things in just the right way. I think I just found mine!) Thank you!
thank you!!!!!!!!!!! I have been so frustrated trying to make something nice and thnkyou so much for thisss! You are a saviour and you deserve so much! Keep making more please!
Thank you! It's just an impression...it should scare, as long as you do the outline for the roof and top corners for the windows the rest doesn't matter, it will look like a building ☺️
Hi Nina, I am Dona and I just finished a watercolor using your technique and let me say, it turned out great!! You techniques really made playing with colours on the paper a walk in the park. I have so much to explore!! Thanks soo much❤❤❤
When I want to Paint this subject I know where to come to. Your work is Beautiful and painterly, Congratulations, here is a new friend 😄 👍 I like your analogy you can not put all your watches or jeweries at once you choose the one that most suit the occassion, beautiful,thank you for sharing ❤️ 🙏
Thank you so much! It's absolute pleasure! We do paintings, but we paint life, so it relates to pretty much anything: music, dancing, cooking, driving ☺️
This is comment 77. There are 777 likes and a second ago I just saw 777 reviews for the Alvaro Castagnet paint set. Such a wonderful sign from the universe! Subscribing! 💖🖌
It's amazing to listen to this ...the concepts are simplified..made easy to understand without compromising on the techniques at all... Haven't come across a channel so helpful for watercolor learners ..wow♥️🙏
Hi Mark, you can make it by mixing white (Chinese white is semi opaque, Titanium white is fully opaque, I would recommend Titanium) and either B.Sienna or Yellow Ochre. If you have primary colors only, then, yellow with a touch of red to make orange and then a touch of blue to neutralize it a little. I have a video "mixing primary colors" in my "beginners" play list. I replicate Jaune Brilliant there.
Hiya Nina, Thanks very much for the tutorial, I love both of the paintings but for different reasons. I'm always fascinated by how quickly the painting progresses with just two washes. Take care Nina, David.xx
found my niche finally, after watching different techniques and styles of water color, this is where my mind has been and it is explained so logically and simply. Can't wait to experiment. I am a photographer and light is always the key factor. Logically then in watercolor its so important to focus on and she clearly explains that. thank you
Another amazing video and agree w others. Your one of the best teachers out there and love your style so much. You defiantly have perfected your own style and love to see every one .. Again - if you ever get away from the online and start in person classes count me in. I’ll travel no matter where I have to go. Thanks again for all you do and what you give--
Lovely, and you make it so clear. Accomplishing it will be a whole other story. I live in the Caribbean and want to capture the vibrancy of the streets and architecture, but have been bogged down in detail. At least I know now what I’m really trying to do is capture light and shadow. Thank you!
I've been looking for a long time to find a video like this. I love this style of painting, and this explanation is perfect. I can't wait to give it a try!
painting structure as painting art does not required specs strickly, but the familiar and common primary landmarks or identity of the structure itself or the landscape of structures, whatever the style, as long as what is there that exist is present in your work, unless its a architectural perspective that you design or required to be paint or you are promoting or advertising, painting deals different styles and form, you can hve it in surreal,realism the most common, impression, destortion, whatever , thats painting artistically, but perspective, you hve to put all the detais required to represent the finality of your structure, nice explaination of the host, happy painting
Hi Nina, I just came across your video and love this style of city scape and love how you simplified the view of Flinders Street Station. I’m a beginner and now feel I could give a scene like this a go! Thank you so much, I have subscribed as I want to see more of your work. Can I please ask what pencil you are using to sketch? I would like to try a broader pencil.
I usually use 4b 2mm for videos, as the camera is not catching anything thinner and lighter, but it's a bit too thick and dark for a normal situation. I'd suggest a mechanical 2b 1mm. In this video I used charcoal woodless pencil, but again it's a bit too strong for normal situation, you have to sharpen it every other painting and hard to erase with kneadable eraser.
Very good tutorial😀 One question; if you have a watercolor scetch book that has tinted sheets, how is the best way to approach a scetch like this, or any other subject. I know I I should have a white surface, but this was quite expensive so I would like to finish it before going over to another. The ones I have made so fare are not so bad, but i struggles with the lighter parts of the subject. Any tips?

“In order to paint the light, you need to paint the darks” why is this such a lightbulb moment?!
Haven’t seen anyone paint so well so young. I need to up my game!😂
Thank you! It's not a competition, it's a joy that lasts lifetime 🙏

Thank you so much Lilian!
All your watercolors are so architectural that it scares me...
WELL DONE!!!!!
Thank you! It's just an impression...it should scare, as long as you do the outline for the roof and top corners for the windows the rest doesn't matter, it will look like a building ☺️
Great work, it looking like Alvaro Castagnette

Can anyone advise how to mix a Buttermilk colour in watercolors, thanks

Hiya Nina, Thanks very much for the tutorial, I love both of the paintings but for different reasons. I'm always fascinated by how quickly the painting progresses with just two washes. Take care Nina, David.xx

Yes, watercolor is brilliant in this matter. We paint shadows, but in reality we paint light. I'm so glad this tutorial founded you and it's useful!
So easy to get too involved in details! Thanks ever so much for your advice.

Thank you! You can mix in a bit of white opaque watercolor (Chinese or Zink white for example). It's perfect for sketching.
@@nvfineartstudio7296 thank! I will try that. Appriciate your respons. 😀
Just found you channel- love your approach! BTW those are tram lines and overhead power cables in Melbourne 😀
Thank you! Yes, they are everywhere here. Usually they go underground but not in Melbourne :) I suppose something for us to paint ☺️
You are fabulous! You do one demo per week? Hoping i will get sent notice so I can learn from you. I have subscribed. Thank you!
Thank you Kathleen! Yes, it's ones a week, usually, unless something out of ordinary happened :)
