It's lovely, those pops of colour really make it shine. Also, that blue area looks a bit like a bandana, and it's precious. 😊

Babies are the subject I struggle most with. I keep accidentally meshing in adult features and they end up looking weird af

I have soooo much trouble with anatomy. Not only because it’s so complicated, but because I have trouble capturing emotion in different poses. This video is rlly encouraging me to branch out! :)

So satisfying when you added the black

This painting is so beautiful. Barn owls are one of my favorite animals and your painting is really inspiring me to try and paint one. Also I want to try using my Gansai Tambi paints since i’ve been neglecting them for so long too.

His eyes are so captivating!! I love the painting as a whole. But I liked the eyes better before the green paint. But I still love the whole thing. It's stunning.

Makes me miss my gansai tambi set 💖 I gave it to my boyfriend cuz I’m showing him watercolor painting and he also loves the large number of colors! This weekend we’re gonna paint sonic characters together with the gansai tambi set and I am SUPER excited 💖 I also recently introduced him to your channel and I think it made him interested in exploring more brands of watercolor and experimenting, so thank you!! ✨✨✨

I love that you used the more opaque paint on the eyes! You mentioned that these stay sort of shiny and I think it really makes the eyes glow, even though it's mostly black paint. Adds another lovely dimension to your unique art style!! 🎨

When you applied the color to the owl's eyes, so satisfying to see! Your channel has really made me start to love and get into watercolor for the first time.

this is a very insightful video and I feel like its treasures lie in it, cuz at 3:30 (ish) you talk about a huge topic of how a painting feels complete for you, which I find myself wondering about from time to time, and explaining it very simply with a calm voice :) but another topic is about motorizing your art, at about 4:55, which I also can feel creeping in my head, cuz of the wish of making something to support me, or to not waste my time etc. hearing you talk about these topics really helps and I am very glad and thankful for you for it :)

I was so excited when I saw the thumbnail!!! I haven't used my Gansai Tambi paints in a while but this video makes me want to get them out again! And of course your artwork looks gorgeous, as always

I’ve been using my set of these paints a lot more recently. Usually I paint in a very layered style with my Sennelier set, but I do enjoy how these force me to work in a completely different way. I also really like some of the heavy duty granulation, which brings in some interesting textures.

This turned out so cool! It reminds me of a forest spirit, and that's wonderful. Can't wait to see more of your work with owls as the subject! I have been sketching snowy owls for a couple weeks trying to find ways to simplify for a posca piece, but I get caught up in all the feathers and details. I really love it, even though it can be difficult. (:

Architecture, all those lines and perspective it's just chaotic and alludes me

The intros to your videos always calm me down and put me in the right mood to start my day

It’d be cool to see you work with the water soluble graphite and an owl portrait (or any other animal)! I love these watercolors. I have the 24 color set and it’s really fun to play with. I definitely think that these work much much better on 100% cotton paper and with a higher water to paint ratio. Love this painting!

Barn owls are sooo cute ♡ The painting look cute, too. I think, the mint makes this painting more interesting to look at.

I love this video. I keep coming back to watch it again. I really love the owl. I've been working on painting rabbits.

After getting the hang of my ocidental watercolors, I definetly need one of these for a more diferente approach, of for mixed styled art. They look so good

This is super awesome!!!

I love the use of blue! So beautiful!

great looking owl, the splash of green colour really helps bring the owl to life 😀 havent tried these watercolours, really want to though. i need to practice more clothing, not something i drew a lot of, just a lot of nekkid people at college lol

Such a lovely relaxing video! The change of subject is indeed a great piece of advice! I have switched from landscapes to portraits and figures over the last few months and I feel it helps me grow and improve so much! I have a small set of Kuretake paints, that I bought because I wanted the pans.. it turns out, I really enjoy the paints, especially how they bloom. I don't have issues with them lifting. But I think they have a large drying shift and I end up layering a lot to get the saturation I am looking for.

Ugh so relaxing 💕❣😭

I love the way you painted the eyes of this barn owl. Great stuff keep it up!!

The painting is so beautiful and satisfying! i sure will give it a try and paint an owl cause i love them so much. also thank you very much for always explaining things so nicely and inspiring everyone to try things out of the comfort zone 🖤🖤

I just ordered these I'm really excited!

You paint so beautifully ❣️

I buy this watercolor set some weeks ago and see you using them, makes me less worried about if i liket or not, seems pretty good to me and also your skills are amazing ❤

Thanks for that beautiful owl:)

Love the soft colors of your owl! 😍 What a coincidence, I I was thinking about using them today again! Lately I’ve been trying to do at least one sketch in my sketchbook, it was one of my art resolutions I made. So I’ve neglected my paints and other supplies for a bit. One thing I do like about my resolution is that I also made a list of prompts, one word for each day. I’m not sticking to the list on the days, but rather either blindly drop my finger and see where it lands, or quickly look through the list for inspiration. Which resulted in my drawing subjects that I usually wouldn’t go for. And I’m also not forcing myself everyday, as in February and March I did full paintings in Procreate.

Beautiful owl! That's for sure. I am a self-taught amateur colored pencil artist but I feel much more comfortable with dry media. I recently started trying watercolor and love it more and more every day. I find watercolor very scary as none of my art techniques would apply. Yet I am willing to learn just like the path I have folllowed with colored pencils. Thanks again for your wonderful art and for your kind ways. I appreciate it.

Beautiful

oh my god this is perfect, im literally getting my first kuretake gansai tambi set in the mail next week!!! im so excited!!!!

My most favorite part of your painting is the eyes. It did resembles the real owl's eyes. Very deep and dark.

So beautiful video as always . I love it ❤❤❤

animals are quite challenging for me but I try all the time. Getting caught in the details is so easy. I love what you did with the paint marks on the face.

What a gorgeous painting, I love your portraits but it's lovely to see you painting this beautiful owl. Gorgeous work. Thanks for recommending the White Nights watercolours, I love them ❤🥰

i just love your art

as a beginner, I like this set way more than the sakura koi one I started with. koi is so chalky. these are silky and transparent 🥰

I love painting my own bird, Bacon! this is such a delight to watch with. you honestly inspire me to get art supplies I've never tried out - esp Roman Szmal. cannot get enough of those paints. I'm looking into handmade paints but cannot decide haha. cute owl💖

You own such variations of colors 😍 i envy you hehe

I have tried them....when using them in a thicker consistency they're quite gouache like. Your Owl is beautiful 😍

Even when it's not something you're used to painting your art seems to always come to life ♡♡♡

This so so beautiful… your art is so inspiring! 🌿✨🦉

Thank you. Beautiful owl. I have a set of these watercolors also and I love them.

These watercolours looks very interesting! I love the owl :D When it comes to subjects I'd like to draw/paint but never do, because I can't/am too uncomfortable with it, I'm going for human figures. Animals as well, but mainly human figures. I got LOTS of ideas on my mind, but they all contain humans or human-like creature.

you make such relaxing and beautiful videos😍 love u

Your watercolor painting 🤍 .... Made me fall in love all over with watercolors.... Can't thank you enough...

This one looks so good ❤️

Whenever someone brings up these watercolors I always think of Studio Gibili films and how these watercolors always seem to look so much nicer on film than I ever did get them to look in person! Yeah, I struggle with these paints, I just prefer more western watercolor paints. You have created a lovely owl, I believe that they do suit your style. Good luck and I hope to see ya next video.

Love that you can replace the pans individually in Australia now

I love gansai paints. Honestly, I love them so much that I got some of the boku undo paints and plan on getting the Kissho gansai ones when I finally get to go to Japan

This is lovely and inspired me to get my Gansai out again. I really struggle painting cats. I want to paint cats, but they never look right!

Thank you for being so calm. It really helped me relax after my 12 hour workday :( Thank you for being you

Oh my gosh I love that barn owl!

I adore barn owls and this is an absolutely gorgeous sketch painting I bought these watercolors recently and I am learning how to work with them so you've inspired me Kinda hoping you can make this into a sticker as it would be so adorable

Very beautiful and inspiring 👍😻

Ah i recently picked these back up again too :D I love the color selection ^^

This was incredibly inspiring. Makes me want to break my set out c:

I've been waiting for you to show us more of those lovely gansai paints. Your owl is so beautiful. Owls are really hard to draw, they are so symmetric. I want to paint landscapes, I've done a couple of tries but I haven't achieved what I wanted. Maybe I'll use my new gansai to try again.

I need to dig out my gansai tambei set too. I love those big pans.

Its funny having the same subject coming up for me as well, I had made plans to be drawing a barn owl as well as a few other animals I've never attempted before

So nice!

The final painting has a really haunting quality and the owl has a spiritul feel like a totem animal guide maybe. The gansai paints were the efect choice for the way you painted this piece. I love these paints and have the 48 set as well as the tinted balcks set and six the golds set. I think you have to change how you work with these paint s because of how they are made,but I love their rich vibrancy and they encouarge me to be boulder in my brush strokes etc when I use them I got them intially to do the Huevember challange and loved them so much that they became a staple in my studio.I also use the chinese brushes too,as again I can be bolder in how I paint and they hold a lot of pigment/water which is great for the gansai paints. More owl studieswould be lovely to see,maybe add some metalic or shimmer finish aints to them as well to give a more ethereal look as owls are slightly magical.(Matt)

If you do develop this concept into a larger piece, the perfect place for the finished artwork would be a raptor rehabilitation center.

Aw man these paints! I'm planning to sell/give mine away this summer but now I'm second guessing myself ha ha

I LOVE the way you did the eyes in this piece, maybe this is more a beginner question but could you explain at some point more how you did that? It's sort of hard to tell from the video if you let the black dry completely or partially, how much you took off the brush and if it was just water or a little bit of pigment, etc. I tried muiltiple times in different ways and couldn't get that partial semi-opaque flooding the way you did, and with adding the extra drop of color in the center after.

beautiful!

the music in this video is like anxiety inducing in 2x lmao

You know I never quite managed to master watercolours yet I find videos of people painting with them so relaxing :/ an endless cycle uwu

Beautiful painting! I would like to know what type of brush you’re using, and do you’ve a link?

i always want to paint Philippines Eagle so badly but couldnt bcz of a lot of reasons,one of those are,that i havent paint/draw in a while now and a pressure of ruining the painting/drawing,hopefully i'll get back ontrack again.btw,great paintingg!!!

I've half-started a painting of maidenhair ferns that I find a bit intimidating. All those tiny fronds... I like where it's at right now, but am afraid to mess it up by trying to add more detail.

If you do another animal, can you please do a squirrel?!! I love them, they are my favorite animal!

after being exposed to watercolors through those really chalky tube paints of student grade brands as a present, the next set I got was the 48 kuretake gangsi tambi set and I absolutely love using large brushes with them ... I finished my AP2D portfolio for art class using only these paints plus the jelly paints and because my portfolio explored combining plants with the human figure I found myself using almost all of the colors in my set and I love all of the warm and earthy colors, they are bright yet so ... satisfying to use? I don't know if it makes any sense... loved your owl, it turned out so cute :)

I remember you saying that these aren't really for beginners and I thought that you said they were for beginners and I got the 36 set. It's been a few years since and I am about to change to profesionnal watercolors but I will still be using these beautiful watercolors.

Exquisite Artistry , looks like one of the Owls from The Legend of the Guardians : Owls of Ga'hoole movie. Thanks for sharing. 😊

Relatively new to the channel and new to watercoloring, but can anyone tell me what sort of paper is usually best for gouache paint?

Where did you get your brushes from ?

Would you recommend using the large kuretake bansai set? or perhaps getting a more limited color palette (which the kuretake bansai has) and mixing colors yourself?

I have been feeling stuck these past weeks .. I’ll give it a try

On the topic of different subjects. I am very good at drawing plant life, I can also do animals and humans, I can even draw still life, city- and landscapes. But what I absolutely can't manage are stylized designs, modern once and semi-organic/geometric designs you can see on old pottery, furniture and so on. I can copy it given enough time, but to come up with something of my own just feels like learning to draw all over again. I tried once because of a request, but I had to apologize and refuse after a while. I just can't, it feels like trying to talk in a language you don't know.

Hi!! I thought you may be able to help me--I love the kuretake case but I move somewhat often and get nervous that the watercolors are in such a fragile/paper case. Do you have any suggestions for what I can put the pans in instead?

Is that etch sketchbook A5 or A4?

I struggle with drawing animals too. I'm trying to diversify my subject matter, currently I do some sketches of animals, I haven't done too much, I did a painting of a cat once. I'm also diversifying the humans and background I paint/draw. As of now I'm working on a commission that's mosty water, with a man in a boat lobsterfishing.

I was hoping these wouldnt lift oof! I use ohuhu water color brush pens but sadly they lift so easily. 😥 Anyone here know any affordable water colors that wont lift/aren't chalky at all?

i wanna be able to paint environments so bad but they scare me soooooo much ;0

Do you ever get overwhelmed in the creation process when you’re focusing on how to Monetize your work? Sometimes I find it stops me in my tracks 😬

I struggle with anything that has to do with trees and the ocean

The only reason i am thinking of buying these paints is for the pans the paints come in...dont want the paint...wouldnt be the first time the paint went into the trash, into another container and to my greatgrands or to any child with the interest.

Owl.

it looks like there is a gouache in these watercolours

Owl, very UwU🦉🦉🦉🦉

Water. Water eludes my grasp. I want to paint sea scapes and beaches and waves but I just can't make water look realistic.
