Shirley Trevena books are truly amazing 🤩. Her color sense and choices are truly inspiring ❤

Thanks Irit 🙏🏻 the first book of the video is on my birthday wish list now 😊 And Felix Scheinberger’s books are so inspiring! I started my watercolour journey with Jenna Rainey’s books and L’aquarelle by Bleu Tango. I really like Jillian Boon’s use of colours as well. She’s on KZfaq but hasn’t published any books so far.

Hi Irit, Love your videos and your fun light approach 😊 I have seen flipthroughs of some of these, they are super inspiring! There is an urban sketcher whose sketching style is inspired by Shirley Trevena, his name is Paul Wang , he is from Singapore. Beautiful work. He teaches sketching on art retreats with "Anna's art and food culture" (?) Small group trips to Vietnam and Thailand ...

Thanks for sharing!! Yes I've been following Paul for a long time, really love his style ! Ahhh that trip sounds amazing... It's been so long since I was in the far east...

Thank you Irit. Stephen Quiller’s book I own & it’s also my only color theory book💚 North Light has gone digital & has course from book artists-no more real books. The last 2 books, by Shirley look inspiring. I have learned from you to paint with colors that we love. Therein lies the chance that we will love the creation 🐾🐾🎨🌞

Oh Irit, this is very helpful. The flip throughs help a lot. Thank you! I have a request, can you go tthrough your pallet and tell us what colors and brands you use?

Hi! I have two relatively recent videos with what's in my watercolor & Gouache palette but I think it's time for a video about all the colors in all the media! Mega color rush ;) gouache- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMplm8h_vt-YoXk.html watercolor- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sMpgdqSKyb28iJ8.html

Thanks so much Irit! I’ve put off getting the Steven Q. book. Thank you for flipping through it. It’s amazing! You made me take out all my books. Thank you. Love the art, mixes, colors, mindset of your book, Irit! I’m painting page 37 for second time. More loose😅 I did this in gouache in TR fat sketchbook! Yeah! Your colors are gorgeous! One of my first art books was Wild Surrender by Mindy Lacefield. She’s been using fluorescent pink for a long time! I love her rawness and soul. Know you love her too. 💕 Love all your favorites. Namaste 🙏

Creative Wanderlust by Kasia Avery, Expressive Flower Painting by Lynn Whipple, Bold Expressive Painting by Annie O'Brien Gonzales although I was disappointed by the quality of the paper., Fresh Paint by Flora Bowley / Lynzee Lynx, Mixed Media Color Studio by Kellee Wynne Conrad. Thanks for the inspiration Irit
