As a middle-aged newcomer to art, I am so grateful that there are people out there who are generous enough to share their hard earned knowledge and skills and put together these accessible tutorials. Thank you so much x
My whole childhood parents wasted hard earned money on fake art tutors. Only found two good teachers but couldn’t continue because we moved. After hundreds on dollar were wasted, I finally found TH-cam tutorials which are so much better. This channel is one of those. Love it
It's September 2023 and fall season is soon upon us here in Ontario Canada. Your class is a joy and this year whimsical pumpkins with mushrooms will be fun to paint. Several Birthday cards are needed. Enjoy your tutorials and wonderful Skillshare classes. Thank you for the beautiful gift of getting back into painting, you, 've inspired me over so many years.
I am already an old man now. When I was young, I would have liked to know all the loving art you can do with watercolor. You inspire people. Your talent does too. Greeting from Chile.
"Pumpkins come in a variety of shapes and sizes..." FINALLY THANK YOU FOR MAKING A PUMPKIN DRAWING TUTORIAL THAT RECOGNIZES THIS!! Great tutorial as usual, Nia! Also, the colours you used in this one are really pretty!
This and your autumn leaves video are such great ideas for picking subjects based on the current season. Could be a good art block idea when you're feeling creatively stumped. Beautiful :D
Nia, your paintings and skills are just so amazing. Thank you so much for your meticulous explanation and descriptions of your process, paints and brushes. You are a fabulous teacher. Thanks for sharing with all of us. You are a pleasure to watch and listen to.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I'm always so happy to hear that the tutorials are useful for you to use as a learning medium! I hope to keep improving so I can share more in the future! ^__^
I just discovered you and I simply love your pumpkins, especially the one with the large handle on the pumpkin. The stem is very important to the pumpkin. It is the very character of the pumpkin. The more the twisted and rough the better. You do a beautiful job. I will have to attempt at drawing and I am new at watercolor. I love the way you teach and you are very informative!!!! Very important to we beginners. It is that first mark or color on your paper which is the hardest. But you make it so very easy looking. Thank you so very much! You are now one of my favorites. I only wish there were more hours in a day to paint all day and then deal with the normal stuff of cooking for hubby, and other hum drum things! Thank you.
This is a beautiful painting. I enjoyed watching this tutorial. I am new to watercolor I am an oil painter. This really helped me understand how to work with water color. I will definitely try painting pumpkins this week. 😊
I’m new with watercolors and followed this tutorial! This is the best my painting has come out is far! I really appreciate how you break down what you’re doing and explain why. Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to follow more of your tutorials ❤️
I've been wanting to do this painting for ages and I finally did. You are my favorite online watercolor teacher. Thanks so much for all the paintings you are sharing with us!
Wonderful tutorial! I want to make Thanksgiving cards for family members and I think I might be able to follow this. Thank you so very much for sharing your talent.
Very pretty. It has a bit of a vintage look which I love. I just subscribed to your channel. I have not seen you before and am looking forward to seeing your other videos.
Thank you for another beautiful tutorial Nia. I love watching your soothing videos before bedtime, then I watch them again later to try and reproduce your paintings. Im sorry I havent written in so long, but were nearing fall here and I will be spending more time indoors. It is pumpkin time but I wont be setting any out for holloween. I will be painting them tho. Thanks again for all your encouraging instructions. 🙌💓❤
Hi Tracy! So nice to hear frm you again. Hope you're doing well! We also don't celebrate halloween here we don't even have autumn hahaha but I love painting things associated with fall season 😁 hope you enjoy painting this one! ❤
@@Nianiani I used to have the most fun hallowen decorations in fhe neighborhood and loved greeting the children at the door. I havent done Halloween for the last 5 years. :( In my mind Im young and vibrant, but my body says otherwise. Ha ha Watercoloring is a low energy project. Its not heavy or too difficult. I love watching every one of your videos. Ive learned so much from you and you inspire me when I need it most. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for all of your details you add. For me new to this medium, is GREAT. I also never thought I could sketch or slightly draw! Here is my version of your tutorial. I’ve done other tutorials with other TH-camrs and was happy with what I came up with. My confidence is coming up to where I am able to actually post and share with you what you encourage me to do! Now I’m looking to see how I can add my picture of my actual painting?
Hi Gina! I'm so happy to hear that the tutorial is helping you draw and paint! :D You can tag any of your artworks on my instagram @ig_nianiani if you would like to share them :)
Watching this again and again and again! Love it so much! Thank you for always providing sketching directions. It's a true artist lesson and I greatly appreciate it!
Beautifully painted pumpkins, you inspire me with this tutorial to start early and paint some cards for Oct.2022. One needs to plan ahead. Many thanks 🤗🤗🧡
Hmm.. Its a great idea but I'm really not great with anatomy. I'll think about it and practice. Maybe next fall I'll be able to produce a fall fairy tutorial but moat probably not this yr.. Sorry ...

FINALLY THANK YOU FOR MAKING A PUMPKIN DRAWING TUTORIAL THAT RECOGNIZES THIS!!
Great tutorial as usual, Nia! Also, the colours you used in this one are really pretty!

Thank you. Love the painting. I'll try this tomorrow.
Adorable

This and your autumn leaves video are such great ideas for picking subjects based on the current season. Could be a good art block idea when you're feeling creatively stumped. Beautiful :D
Thank you! Yea they're just simple paintings you can do pretty quickly 😁
You do a great job of learning about what you are going to paint. We grow pumpkins in our garden every year.
Wow I wish I have the garden space to grow pumpkins! Must be a very pretty sight to see!
