Lioba, YOUR art is incredible and goes beyond imagination, the way you described this artist you admire is YOU. You're so incredibly talented and your hard work shows through both this painting and every piece you do. This is so stunning 😍

I'm sort of a perfectionist when it comes to my art. I aim for straight, uniform lines and strict within-the-lines coloring. So naturally, watching this video made me anxious. But seeing your process, and how a haphazard smattering of color in absolute disarray can create the most beautiful art has inspired me completely. Like, woah. It reflects so much warmth! I was immediately drawn to it. Thank you for that. You're a wonderful wonderful artist. Keep it up! Lots of love from the Philippines.

I got the chance to see a Mucha exhibit several years ago and seeing the prints up close at full size was amazing and gave me even more appreciation for them. The show also had many of his oil paintings which were just as impressive!

Wow! She really pops out of the page! Well done 💕👏

Mucha is one of my favourite artist of all times and he is always an inspiration for me ❤😍

I'm from China, I am a 14 years old self taught artist and you inspire me a lot! Thank you so much, I look up to you a lot.

Mucha was at the forefront of Art Nouveau/Belle Epoque not Art Deco which came later with Erte etc

I love Mucha and recently did a study of his 'dance' piece. What I discovered was so interesting. His colours are pretty much flat. When he hints at shadow its just one darker shade brush stroke or pastel mark. The detail is all in the drawing. The texture of his fabrics is all line. But its a trick of the eye because when you look at the work it doesn't look that 2 dimensional. That was a revelation to me. The only place that has any semblance of usual structural painting is the skin. This seems to be why he outlined his figures so heavily, because the inner drawing is so heavy with line to create the image shape. The second thing I realised was that he was inspired by stained glass windows. Look at some of the calendars he did with the gothic arches as image borders and separators. The circles are like Rose Windows. This also ties into his strong lines, like the lead work in stained glass. That gives his women a religious quality.

Ahhh this is amazing!!! Im so surprised!! I recently did a painting inspired by Alphonse Mucha! And since then I have noticed that everyone is drawing or painting art inspired by his work!!! It honestly is so fascinating to see all the different interpretations!! I love the way you described the creation process of your piece and just the entire piece it self!

Jetzt hab ich richtig Lust meine Ölfarbe liegen zu lassen und meine Aquarell Farbe raus zu holen! Das Bild ist wirklich klasse mir gefällt das Sujet super!!

I totally understand your feelings about not studying Mucha because if paintings are so intricate, but look at this beautiful piece! It's very reminiscent of his style but still so you :) I love Alphonse Mucha and Gustav Klimt, they're my favorite painters, and while I currently feel discouraged in the same way about my work compared to theirs, I still love just looking at their work, and finding little things I know I can do and work on to come closer to making my work as detailed and beautiful. Well done, this is so lovely

You are so amazing. I REALLY LIKE YOUR TALKING AND BUBLY AND OPEN STATE OF MIND. So much love for you! Love your accent. Stay who you are and ignore people who say you need to talk different and make you feel down. You are amazing

Just a caution when using stamps and stencils you need to check with the company because most will not allow you to use in your artwork that you plan to sell or produce prints for. I can't tell you how many mix media artists run into this issue. So be cautious of certain patterns that are exclusive or specific and be sure to check with the designer/company on their policy for using their products for your art. Beautiful Mucha inspired piece. It's stunning! Check out Kai Engel for free music it's beautiful!

love this, i can SO see the Mucha influence in it, i love his work, and yours!

Love this piece and I love your use of watercolor with color pencil. such pretty art

It's so amazing to watch your art come alive as you paint! You inspire me so much and make truly beautiful art!

I love your painting style! This one is particularly exquisite and fascinating. Thank you for these wonderful works and commentaries!

For me this is the most beautiful portrait in watercolour from whole YT- bravo!!

i am a young artist and my favorite medium is watercolor and you are a big role model to me because your watercolors are sooooo beautifulllll ❤❤

BEAUTIFULLLLLLL

this is so pretty 💗💗💗art goals

Stunning as always 😀

I am just in LOvE with your style and listening to you ❤️ I look forward to starting your Patreon!!

This is amazing - so love Alphonse Mucha :)

Lovely !!! Enjoying from California.

Aah this is perfect! I'm working on an mucha-inspired self portrait right now, I'm so happy to find this video🥰

HER FACE IS SO BEAUTIFUL

Absolutely love this video. Thanks for all the information.

Keep in mind that most stamps use an angel license, which means you can sell originals but not prints or print on demand online with these stamps in the picture. You will have to contact the stamp artist to get a different license or make your own stamps.

How beautiful this turned out, Lioba! Fantastic job. You can definitely tell the Mucha inspiration, but it's also absolutely you. Lovely. :)

Heya from Düsseldorf! :D You are so talented, I cannot believe I've found your channel only now! Mucha is also my no. 1 favorite artist. I used to live in Czech Republic for few years and I got the chance to see part of his amazing Slav Epic collection in Moravský Krumlov, in an almost abandoned palace which I discovered by chance in one of my weekend walks. I tell you, that was the most rewording walk ever in my life so far! Enjoy the very rare german hot weather! :)

This is very beautiful. I love your watercolours. If you like an artists work or an idea you should definitely explore this in your work if you wish and not feel restricted. That is the exciting part about being an artist I think.

Definitely create a pond when you get the chance, I'm just finishing up installing mine in my flower garden. Also, beautiful work as usual.

Your description of how you felt toward Alphonse Mucha is very similar to how I would describe your pieces compared to mine. I'm very thankful for your videos and have learned a lot. Thank you Lioba for all the hard work and you put into your videos. Your work is amazing:)

I love the line work you start off with

WOW!!

It is true I studied the impressionist art and it really was helpful

love it 💗

Dreamy! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, on pushing threw your boundaries. It is so important to explore, new concepts, and styles. I agree with you completely. Everyone needs to push threw their fears. I think it's the thought of rejection, that keeps us stuck in one style. I'm very impressed with your ideas. They are relatable on many different subsections. For instance. My client, whom I had for a while she was very determined to reach her goals of being a certain weight. She worked out diligently every day for two hours. But it wasn't until, she broke her foot that she had to change her entire approach, and routine! It was because of that change, she finally met her goal! I was so happy for her! Because she was very focussed, and determined, that no matter what, she was going to make it happen! Sometimes changes feels very awkward, and different but it's that change, that fosters new ideas, and approaches. Yeah! Being an artist my self, I find taking classes of all sorts of different interest. Really help to bring inspiration to your life all around. Like one year I took knitting, with a bunch of older women, and I just loved it! Then I took a digital audio engineering program for three months! I loved it! Then a cross country skiing class with a friend of mind. A silver smithing class, to make jewelry. . Then a body building class, to learn how to properly train our bodies. Ball room style dancing. Twice. The second time was very fun, except I would never get picked. Soon I realized they where all couples, that had missed the deadline for signing up. So me and a couple others, were always singles. I danced with this elderly man severely times. We both had the same insurance. He was almost 80 and I was in my 30's. It was a huge gymnasium, we both could go around twice, and we said, that's great. It was so much fun. I still think the couples should have broken apart apart. Also still life drawing. I found by taking a bunch of different classes, it brought so much inspiration to my life. Oh I forgot, hip hop dancing, that was awesome! Something about moving, really gets your creative self moving too!

Gorgeous as always =)

I love it so much

We have Xenos in the Netherlands too! I love going through it, looking at all the decorations. I also like them because they have cheap canvas!

You're so talented

you can find stamps, stencils and all that kind of stuff you mention in a scrapbook store, or online, the brands that are in that style are graphic 45, blue fern studios and prima marketing (well they are my favs) they are very much comercial use in finished products so theres not much of a problem on terms of use, also is easier to find on online stores

very good video, nice work!

You can actually make your own stamps by carving designs out of silicon or linoleum! It's a really common practice so there are lots of resources to learn how and get materials. Just search up linocut prints or rubber stamp making and it should open you up to the rest. Then you won't have to worry about copyright and you'll have full artistic freedom with the design. Hope this helped!! I love your art by the way

absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE Alphonse! I aspire to paint in the art deco style that he has. I'm in love with art deco style. There are many art deco buildings here in Florida. Beautiful work!

Whoa! First video I've seen from you and there are so many crazy coincidences! My favorite artist is mucha, I'm painting something now and for the first time trying to incorporate things that inspire me about his work, (you're right, it is scary) i live near the gallery (guess I'll have to check it out;) ) and I'm teaching myself German as a hobby xD I guess the stars are telling me I need to subscribe to this channel lol :)

wirklich seehr nice !

There are Alfonso mucha coloring books that make great transfer templates

Your artwork always reminds me a lot of the film Belladonna of Sadness

It's gorgeous Lioba! I'm fan of Mucha's works, hubby gave me an artbook with a collection of his works and sketches and I use it with other books to learn, as you say, how he worked with details and backgrounds. I hear you saying Art Deco, I believe Mucha is considered Art Nouveau =) Tho, I'm sure a piece by you with Art Deco inspiration will look absolutely gorgeous too! Tho I love his famous style, his oil paintings, sketches and studies are beautiful as well. Big big hugs!

you're a sweetheart !

Hi Lioba, your watercolor is just beautiful! I love watching you paint. You have lovely effects and techniques. I am working on my artwork right now, and I am trying to develop my watercolor skills. If you don’t mind me asking, Could you please tell me what paper you use here? Thank you! 🌸

Good stuff! You should look at some of Mucha's watercolor work.

Masking fluid! DIY rubber stamps! Check out pinterest for these :3

Mucha means fly in Poland and same in Czech language.

Beautiful painting, I've been watercolour painting lately but what I end up with is a coffee stained mess

It's pronounced MuCHa, in a way where CH is the same sound as CH in Bach. :)

Es ist Großartig!!!!!! Welches Papier nutzt du genau von Fabriano?

💓🎼

I noticed that your pronouncing of hydrangeas is a bit off. I just assumed it was your lovely accent. But here you go: we (America) pronounce it "high drain jah" No accent on any of the syllables but a hard "j" on jah. Like you say "just", but without the "st" sound. Hope that helps. Your art is so inspiring! New favorite channel😊

Do you use the fabriano straight on the block? So no "stretching" the paper first? 140lb? 300lb? Thank you :)

when you painted the detail on the flowers did you use water color or acrylic or was it gouache? also what brand of paints do you recommend?

Can you share where you got the large round brush you used in the beginning? Is it bamboo ?

I like your voice & speaking style. I can't listen to many different artists because their tone, style or bad habits drive me crazy & I can't get anything out of the video. it's my problem, but your easy on the ears. thx

Ok what is that first brush you use in this painting? I have been looking all over my art shops and I just can’t find one. I’ve been looking to get nicer brushes as I’ve started to get more serious with my art work

schöne Arbeit! wie zeichnest du vor freihändig oder am Fenster als Kopie? kennst du evtl. eine Seite die rechtmäßige und verlässliche Infos über die Nutzung von Vorlagen /Fotos liefert? Wenn man Vorlagen als Inspirationsquelle nutzt verletzt man keine Urheberrechte richtig? Ganz liebe Grüße

Silly question...what did you use to make your outline?

Beautiful painting! The face is astoundingly realistic :) I remembered that you wanted your pronunciation to be corrected if it was wrong; you said "guitar" as "geetar", and it's more of a "gih" sound at the start. Hope I could help!

hey! I was wondering..do you use cold press watercolour paper? and if you do then how do you get the pencils to blend on the textured paper?

Ok, so I really hope that this doesn't sound wrong to you, but in all your speedpaints there is a point in the beginning to middle part when I'm like: ha this looks crappy, great, I can do so as well (I'm a designer and illustrator but very bad at painting) - but then shortly after I'm always like: Maaan this looks amazing how did she go from this to that in 30 seconds without me noticing she even did anything????

This is probably so obscure, but you use a reference from an artist back in the day named marjolein gulinski, she mainly did fairy art but she just seemed to stop...

could you please tell me what kind of paper is it ?😜🤪😜🤪

Você é algum tipo de Deusa?

u know that mucha means fly in polish xD

she look like melanie martinez xD so cute

Its pronouces Mucha not muča

You pronouce his name wrong....I am czech so i know that for sure...

please look up how to pronounce Mucha correctly
