Thank you so much for watching!!!
Big hug from me,
Renata
Great Teacher!
Thank you! 😃
loved this and i like everything about it! keep going !
Water colour is the hardest medium,you should practice the wash it's hard to master, don't give up,I've been painting with water colours for thirty years and this lady makes it look very easy ,just take your time and have fun.☺
Agreed. :)
Hi Marena! I am painting along with you. I'm new to watercolor and just stumbled upon this tutorial. I loved it so much that I had to try it. I'm only as far as the 2nd layer of the sky but, you teach so well that I'm sure I'll be able to complete this in a day or two. Btw...I also enjoyed your tutorial on the flowers using dots of colors and a flat brush. I tried it and they came out beautifully! Thanks for teaching and sharing. I look forward to what you come up with next. 👍👍🧡
Also, I personally enjoy the real-time videos. The step-by-step instructions are very helpful for me. Thank you. You're doing a fabulous job! 🎨🖌🌚💕
Thank you so much. I am glad you are enjoying it and just take your time. Have fun! ❤
Very beautiful starry night full moon painting.
Thank you!
Nice ❤❤
Loved it and love your descriptive narrative! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I lobeeeee it
That's great!🤗
I like the real time - and the voice overs. I really love your work and that you are sharing. Yes I had my coffee and it felt like I had a friend over with me. Thank you
Well, that is awesome! I am so happy you can feel that way. It was a long coffee, then... ha ha ha... Thank you, Kate!
Hey they're your brushes! If you want to use them the way you do who cares, they're yours! Like you mentioned you want to focus on painting not your brushes and I totally agree with you. We paint for relaxation and because it makes us happy. Thanks for the tutorial. Have a great day!
Thanks, Danielle!
I really enjoy the real time videos. Thank you! This is lovely.
Already create a mine. Not as beautiful as you made, but its look cool and ya exciting to paint!
Yes. Please do more REAL time video. The best ever!
😆
I looooved this tutorial.Thank you very much, Renata. Your paintingis most beautiful😍🤩😍🌹
I like the real time voice overs. Thank you
Glad you do! I noticed not many people do like and watch them, so I am placing all those now for members on my channel. :) Thank you!
Listening to you think it out and dither about whether or not you're done is Very Helpful, it shows that I am not the only one who works that way!
You are definitely not. I always have to stop myself so I do not overdo my paintings. :)
I like real time videos! The time lapse videos make me jumpy. I watch them through first then paint with. I can jump ahead as needed. This moon and mountain is beautiful! I plan to paint along in the next few days.
Legend💝
:) Thanks!
It's all right😊
so lovely beautiful watercolor painting tutorial 👍👍👍👍👏👍
Thank you!
Thank you for this real time step by step tutorial. This is amazing, so enjoyable! You are amazing!
That moon looks like you dragged it out of the sky and brought it down to Earth. It looks like one could reach out and touch it. So lovely!
It was actually like that couple of weeks ago. So huge. I felt just like that - like I could touch it. :)
@@MarenaART That is the beauty of art. However to make it just right it takes talent and you were born to be an artist. Never allow anyone to tell you otherwise. You are also a great teacher. Makes me wish I was young again and had you as my art teacher.
Love love love!!! Thank you so much.
Welcome🙂
Thank you for sharing your talent! I found you searching for night sky and this was far better than I hoped for!
It's a very beautiful picture, i think that with some mountain shadows it will be even better. Like the moon light on the mountain. But you're very talented and i like your video😊
Thank you for this tutorial! Got the background and did the mountain before the moon!
First two moons (1 egg shaped, one flattened top) but third got pretty close!
Usually use acrylics but to see through practices with gouache and stars finding must get right consistency or looks like white “watered down splatters” or to many. Ty!!
Very very so beautiful
Thanks a lot 😊
Very Nice! Really enjoyed seeing your full process. I will definitely be painting this one.
I loved doing this painting along with you! You made it really easy to follow along with you being in real time. I appreciate your style as a beginner, i wasn't discouraged at any point. I will subscribe and look forward to watching more of your videos.
I’ve really enjoyed this video. Thank you so very much! I learned a lot! Please keep them coming! 💖🌺💖
How cool. Oh I see a butterfly in your paint palette. Blue profile image. Lovely demo. Thanks.
:) Really?! That`s awesome! I am creating artwork on and of paper. :) Thank you Cindy!
What a lovely picture! I was looking for some inspiration since I am new to painting and trying a new hobby..You made me want to dive right in and paint along with you! Thank for for posting!
Thank you for saying that! I think that is the whole point of my videos. To inspire... :)
Love your real time videos!
*Lukisan cat air itu sangat indah, terima kasih untuk instruksi yang sangat rinci.*
:)
Awesome as always...I get ideas on water coloring techniques from your vids 👍✌️✌️
Awesome! I am glad. :)
A lot of fun. Love to listen to your thoughts as you are painting! I painted along with you. Mine wasn't TOO bad. ;-)
😁 that is great!
I really enjoyed the video and I'm so looking forward to going through a lot more. This was my first time watching and I'm a fan!!!❤
Love me a moonscape💙 gorgeous Renata!
Thank you!
Loved it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really enjoyed your video. I paint with acrylics and have never seen a water color. I will need to try this ,it looks like fun. I love how the paint flows and how you can put pigment in and take it out again. It’s beautiful.
The moon looks awesome and cool at night
Thank you!
Hi Renata, I liked this intriguing moon watercolor very much. I did it and it came out nice. I had trouble with getting the night sky right, it took me 3 coats of indigo, I’m just getting to laying a wash properly. Your advice was spot on, I liked painting with you. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow!! I love that you speaking and explaining every step!! It’s super helpful! Thank you!! Keep up the amazing work!! 😁
Thank you so much, Nikita! I am glad you like it.
I enjoyed your painting very much! I will try it with a country road instead of the mountain.
Sounds great! :) I can imagine that.
Very nice. I will try to paint it! Great tutorial
Thank you! :)
Great tutorial, I like the real time version, where you explain what you do and give tips. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
So beautiful! I want to try this 😍
thanks you very much, I did it, and it end up really beautifully
That`s great! I am so glad it did. :)
I just painted along with you and I was using sakura koi watercolors, and it turns out sooo good. the same like you I also keep adding paint on the moon and I like the result. Thank you for making this video 😊
Ha ha ha... well, when there is always just one more thing we need to add. :)
Very nice...
Thank you!
Thank you for this! x
No problem 😊. Thank you!
The bewitching moon, perfectly done!
:) Thank you!
Wonderful I am learning by myself , your channel is amazing !!
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you a lot!
I loved your tutorial! It was so fun to follow along. I'm new to watercolor and so I learned a lot from doing and making mistakes. Yours is so cool! I love it!
Thanks!
So effective! Another beautiful painting, thank you 😊
Thank you!
Thank you so much! I just found your channel and enjoyed watching this full length tutorial.
Thank you! That is great to hear.😁
Wow! Enjoyed watching your painting! Really great! Big thumbs up!
Thank you!
Super excited to try this tomorrow thank you xx
Thank you! Have fun. :)
I am making an outdoor Halloween prop in which I have a witch flying over a full moon and I want to add the stars the way that you did in your painting. Would you suggest dipping your paint brush in water first before applying the paint or omit adding water and just use paint? Very informative video, love your technique.
Depending on the thickness of your paint. If it is not too thick to splatter it from your brush, then don`t add water. Otherwise, you would need to... :)
Gr8💓✌
:)
That's soo beautiful that sky moon looks soo real and soo nice ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
That is very pretty thanks
Thank you! :)
Really very beautiful picture
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this❤️ 💗it helped a lot. I enjoy your videos like this. You are very talented💕💖
Thank you! I am so glad it was helpful. :)
I love this video. Like that you keep talking & explaining.
But talk about what you consider your failing? Of being so attuned conscientiously to the painting. If you had quit before you were completely ready we would not have received such a firm understanding of adding color as well as taking away!
:) I am glad you think it was helpful. I always do try to explain the entire process, including mistakes. :)
Wow! Awesome full moon Water Color Painting👌👌 You're Extremely Talented Artist👍❤️
:) Thank you!
Fantastic!...fully watched
Thank you!
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I've been following you for about a month and I just found these real time ones. Thank you!!! (Also - I love what you said about your brushes - haha)

Yessssssssssss
Great video and beautiful painting~ thanks so much friend
Thank you!
@@MarenaART welcome friend :)
Hey I'm a beginner in watercolour painting and i used simple white watercolour for stars but it almost merged in the background when it dried..and i don't have white gouache...ca you please suggest what can i do to improve this!
And your channel is amazing! Love your work!
White watercolor is transparent so when it dries it becomes basically invisible. You should use white gouache or white acrylic or any white paint that is opaque. Maybe white marker if you have. Or use masking fluid to mask dots as stars before painting. Hope that helps.
@@MarenaART thankyou so much! And yes white acrylic is available here..will definitely use it for stars!
Just painted along with you with my kiddos and we loved it! Are you on insta so we can tag you?
Hey, that is awesome. I am, yes. please, do tag me - instagram.com/renatatotart/
Oh no. I don't have white gouache. 😓 💜
This is a beautiful painting tho!
Acrylics can also do the trick. :) Thank you!
I love the painting. The only issue for me is that when there is full moon, you basically cannot see the stars. Other than that, really pretty.
Yes, but, you know, I rarely go for realism. I paint what pleases me. :)
Which colour we can use instead of indigo??plssss reply
Maybe you can use Payne's grey, or Payne's grey and dark blue (e.g. Ultramarine) mix
You're so cute aahhh 😍❤️ You remind me of the legendary Bob Ross
Ha... just putting his and my name in the same sentence. Thanks! :)
Ha... just putting his and my name in the same sentence. Thanks! :)
@@MarenaART no problem 😆 Seriously tho. It's because you both have calming voices 💖
What tape do you use to tape your paper down please ?
Just some regular washi tapes. Not any particular. :)
What size are your watercolor paper on theses paintings
It is Clairefontaine Fontaine cold pressed watercolor paper 300gsm or 140lb, size 18 x 24 cm or 7 x 9.5 in
What is your painting brush name
Because you asked for critique, here is mine.
You have over 17k subscribers, they all like what you already do. A good mix of short, long, "paint with me" tutorials, or even just called projects, a "Let's paint!" approach is good. It will appeal to a wide range of viewers. Voice overs are good for teasers, showing a quick process to inspire people. A 10-minute project and a 30-minute project are both appealing. I'll watch both according to my available time. Don't try to overthink the process just like overthinking the painting.
Now the critical portion of this. You worry too much. Stop apologizing for every little thing. That is a turn-off. People come to watch, to learn, to be inspired, to solve a problem with their own painting. Not everyone will ignore the sorry if, sorry for, and sorry I didn't entertain you. I was painting with you because I needed help in solving a problem. If it weren't for that I would have just left and gone on to another video. So please, stop apologizing. Just paint. Just explain the thought process. So yes, maybe once in a while take your viewers on a journey through how you "play" without a plan. Because some people don't know how or don't trust their own ability to just create without an image to work from.
I appreciate what you do. Thank you. Keep on painting!
Thank you for your honest critique. It was an older video and I do try now not to do that. Even though it is part of who I am, you have a point. I need to have a bit more faith in what I do and in people who watch and love watching my videos. But for some reason, when going into this, I did not think I would have this amazing support. :) Thank you again and all best to you.
@@MarenaART Thank you. If I could I would give it a heart. You've come a long way and your work has improved greatly. You're right, have faith, believe in what you're doing, enjoy the process, and just do you. Be blessed.

Thank you so much for this! I've just started using watercolours and this is such a pretty painting. I'm inspired to follow it next :)
Wonderful! I am so happy to hear that. Have fun!
