The Magnolia is lovely! Especially Love how you used the actual paint names in your color wheel. It made it so much easier to understand what & where specific colors fell on the color wheel. Thanks a bunch!

I am one of Anna's students. Her ability to differentiate fine shades of color is astonishing. She has improved my ability to see colors and mix them dramatically. I am editing old paintings. Boy, has she improved my ability to paint.

Fantastic tutorial and stunning art piece! ❤️. Also, I love the ergonomic design of your workspace - I'm quite jealous actually. The stand holds your reference photo, I assume, and has paper towels attached. 👍🏻. The art "board" looks as if it could be adjusted many ways; I especially love that it sits higher than your table top! Awesome....now back to learning and creating art 😊

Hi Anna! Excellent tutorial! What colour did you use for the ‘buff’ areas of the petals?

@Fancylooks 7 жыл бұрын

I like your teachings, you explain it very nicely and clearly, you remind me a lot of a dear friend of mine!. I wonder if, when you are painting on your own and not doing a tutorial, you have the same thoughts about the colour wheel that you explain here or if you are more intuitive about the colors, I mean, if your explanations on the colour wheel are for people to understand the way to use the colours or because you use that technique in your thoughts while you are painting.

Just seen this sorry - yes I do this intuitively but it helps for beginners to have the process explained to them before it becomes second nature.

I just watched your magnolia flower painting. Beautifully done. I see on the video how easily you layer color to darken an area. When I try going over an area, especially one that has dried, to darken it, I get a nasty looking bloom. How do you avoid blooms in your beautiful paintings?

@NatureStudioTV 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Margaret! It's most likely to do with the equipment you're using. You need to make sure you're using artist quality watercolour paints, which are completely transparent. You can see all the equipment I recommend at annamasonart.com/equipment :-)

Hi, your watercolour work is amazing and quite inspiring. I was wondering if you could share the name of the easel you are using in this video. It looks different than every other table top easel I've seen and looks like it would be great to help maintain good posture while drawing/painting

Hi Anna! I’ve recently discovered your channel and I learned a lot already! One question- in your color wheel, the warm yellow is just below the cool yellow. Clockwise: it’s cool yellow to warm green to cool green to cool blue to warm blue to warm purples to cool reds to warm red and back to cool yellow. Is this correct? I qant to arrange my color in this way bec it’s much easier to shift up or down :) by the way, where can i put the browns? Like burnt umber and umber? Thank you so much! ♥️

@NatureStudioTV 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Cristy! If you start by mapping the primary colours, you can then locate the rest of your colours in the gaps by working out where they are closer to. I place neutrals between blue and purple on my palette. You can see the arrangement I use on the PDF on my Equipment page here: www.annamasonart.com/equipment/ :-)

I'm wondering if anyone knows if this artist uses hot or cold press paper? I'm guessing hot, which I've never used, but wanted to be sure.

@NatureStudioTV 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Barbara, I always use hot pressed paper, it's better for creating the fine detail required for realistic painting. Hope this helps! :)

G Man, I checked the website, and opera rose has been upgraded to a "B" for lightfastness. Buyers should always frame with UV glass (most know enough to do that), so between the two, it should never be a problem.
