Wow! I just started water color painting and have no idea how you make such beautiful images. It’s inspiring though.
Prachtig , 👏👌👌👍heel mooi . 🇱🇺💐
❤️
I am so happy to have found you. Your work is really inspiring
Thank you so so much! Fiona x
A Genius at work. Happy New Year and thank you .
Thank you ❤️ You too!
Wow very interesting. Thanks. Love your art work ❤❤❤❤bravissima
Thank you 🙏
Happy New Year! You are such a delight in this world. Your beautiful videos are an island of peace and joy and positive encouragement. Thank you. ❤
Oh thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you HappyNewYear
Happy New Year! ❤️
Beautiful ❤ I would love to be able to paint even half as expressive as you, Fiona! Greetings from Pennsylvania, USA
Join our Patreon or Facebook group then. It’s a good way to start! Much love and happy New Year! Fiona x
I work full time, and my job is stressful and sucks all the life out of me. To feel creative, I need to be in a certain mindset, and have plenty of time. I don’t have either.
You always have time! No you don’t. Sometimes you just don’t. So focus on taking little pockets of time , even 5 minutes, to do anything that makes you feel good. ❤️
Bigger? Good lord, they are huge! Not sure I would want them that big, though I suppose maybe for the 3 primaries I use most of the time, it would be very convenient. I try to buy cruelty free brands these days, though, which these probably are not.
Im not sure. They are definitely something that will break down colour theory for you once and for all! ⭐️
It’s interesting how people think they have the right to to tell you how to express yourself. I’ve had three years of learning watercolours using reference photos given by my teacher. It has been so valuable in terms of seeing what I like to paint and what I don’t and of course, for learning techniques and seeing what I can do ( and what I’m useless at 😂) This term, for those of us who want to, we have the option to work to themes which she will set. I’m looking forward to seeing what I’m drawn to paint and how I will interpret the theme and if I base that theme around a similar subject each week, then that’s my choice as an artist. Personally, I’ve been following you for a few months now and enjoy watching you create whatever you’re moved to create ❤
Thank you so much. You should paint what inspires you. Full stop. Or you’ll end up hating it x
Wow!!!!
@@cindinathans7590 thank you ❤️
These are lovely. Blockx also sells something similar. But I think these may be bigger. 😊
Oh cool! You don’t mean the Derwent blocks?
This is wonderful and I bet it catches on…at least for the most common and most colors used, soon by other companies. I’ve always wanted bigger pans, as do others. Thank you for sharing. They are in my Amazon cart right now ❤️
@@louannramirez4278 oh how wonderful. Yes, other brands will catch on. This idea is too good!
After talking about these paints last week in our lesson I've been wanting to find a review and yours was the first to come up. I love the ram 🐏 They look fantastic to use.
Thank you. I loved painting the ram ❤️
Very hard
The bunnies are quite easy
Is it 90g of paint or is the pan being ‘counted’. 90g of paint would be great. I’d also love a cover to keep the dust off. An ultramarine would be the most useful to me!
@@valasafantastic1055 they come in sturdy cardboard containers and they fit snugly around the pan. I am going to keep them in there with the lids on. If you check, they hCe other blues. I just love Prussian blue! Fiona x
Absolute perfection!
@@sheilagilleland4312 thank you so much!
I love your watercolor style. These videos are very relaxing esp the music., I’m an acrylic painter and listen to classical music when I paint, so I love this presentation. I’m seriously considering your patreon
Thank you so much! That’s such a beautiful comment. ⭐️❤️
Beautiful
Thank you 🙏
I was tempted to buy these. But, I am not sure whether they'll cracked after several uses. Hence, I decided to skip them. Great review by the way
I’ll update you on that, but they seem very thick and sturdy. Fiona x
Thank you, Fiona! I got them with my Christmas present money from my Greek MIL 😂. Looking forward to playtime in 2025🎉 All the best wishes for the New Year to you and your dear ones. 😊
Oh wonderful! Have fun! Especially creating the browns! I loved that! See the ram painting
Beautiful as always. I do hope you do not loose your passion in sharing your art. It is such a fine line when your joy becomes work. I learned this lesson as well. Rock on 🐰
Ah, that line has indeed been crossed, but I am finding ways to not let my love for watercolour fade. Fortunately, it hasn’t at all, but the editing etc can be time-consuming x
Hi Fiona! I’ve watch your latest two free videos and appreciated these so much, I’ve joined your first level Patreon class for 2025. As I live in Australia, I doubt I’ll catch your classes live, but looking forward to spending more time water-colouring with you in 2025😀Happy New Year Fiona 🎉🥳😘😀
Oh how wonderful Erica, to have you in our community! There are quite a few Australians actually ❤️
May I ask the brand and size of the brush your using here? I also hope they at very least do all the most primary colors that are used the most.
At the begging it’s the 1 inch flat by Silver Black Velvet , after it’s Mandrian x
Ty so much. You've gained a subscriber.
Dear Fiona, you are a wonderful person and instructor but a temptress when it comes to art supplies! Since making your acquaintance, my art supply budget has suffered greatly. If only I had known that I needed only three colors when I first began painting! Too late, so I guess I will just use and enjoy the hundreds of colors that I already own. 😄
Hahaha! I know… just play the limit-your-palette game anyway. It never fails to impress me how much better paintings look with less colours! Much love, dear Jan.
@@drawingsinadrawer You are right, as usual, dear Fiona, but I must admit that I feel lost without a brown or a neutral tint. They are so convenient!
Hahaha
Just a quick question, where do you get your reference images from, love your little mouse! Love your people too always ❤❤
Oh gosh. I forgot where I got the mouse. Sometimes I mix two images together, especially with animals for some reason. However, mostly from Pinterest. Some from Unsplash. Fiona x
@@drawingsinadrawer thank you very much Fiona, appreciated.
Do you feel that the Prussian blue is better for mixing or is it your personal preference for a blue stand alone colour. I've watched a few videos and they all talk about warm or cold primary colours for mixing some giving better secondary colours. I would love these but want the best chance of good mixing colours and it gets to be quite confusing.
@@jackygann594 I think Prussian Blue allows me to mix the kind of more muted tones that I like, as opposed to too vibrant one. Fiona x
Wishing you ahappy new year Fiona!!
@@joppakat right back at you!
My professor uses 3 pans only for the instruction! Red yellow blue! As we learn we can add if we want, but we learn we don't really need others. We purchase for desire..
Yong chen, please check him out and say hello!!
I think it is the best way to learn!
Your video was black for the first few minutes...me or you??
All seems fine from My end! Have you tried refreshing?
I am motivated to paint with the Gansai for the pans! I love that size and wish we could buy them empty . Until then ,I use them up in play and eventually I'll get my pans lol! I'm so happy to have found your channel recently and looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful work ! Happy New Year !
@@patriziacathey605 thank you so much and happy new year ( soon)! Fiona
I really want the art noveau set, myself. I think they're lovely. I wouldn't sell anything with them, but they're totally up my alley
@ the colours are beautiful but think that you can recreate them. This said, I have that set too 🤣 I couldn’t resist!
@@kathyhackney7950 Hi Kathy, that is the set I have and you are right ,no sell and my kind ! I'm wanting to get those pans used up to put my own paint in them ! If you are not able to get your hands on this set due to being sold out, try St Louis Supply .I did not know this many Gansai colors and sets existed until I found them ! Happy Painting and New Year !
I know what you mean about bigger pans, I love my Kuretaki, I’ve got 2 different sets and they’re my favourite paints. I love your painting. X
@@shirleygreaves9650 thank you 😊
lovely video as always Fiona. thank you for all your wonderful videos and encouragement. wow, i am absurdly tempted by these paint pans...
Thank you, Louise! They are pretty awesome. One should paint with these alone!
I have also used little 5cm ceramic ramekin dishes. My husband used a hole saw to cut out holes in a board for me to place them in. Works beautifully. Wish I could paint as well as this works.😄
@@heatherh3457 your husband is amazing! 🤣
Yeeeessss, other video, thanks, thanks, wonderfull, always magic
@@exnaborrascalvo6315 aw thank youuuu
Heeeeeeel mooi prachtig!! ❤❤👍🇳🇱💐
I have been devouring your watercolor content. I have been watching quite a few content creators on watercolor but I find your Art to be the Most appealing to me. I love your drawings and paintings. the size that you create them is also what I like. Watercolor painting is a skill I would like to play with in 2025 and I started playing and trying to get a feel for how it moves on the paper. Thank you for sharing your passion in such a relaxing and inspiring way.💕💕
What a beautiful message, Caroline. I appreciate it a lot ❤️ Fiona x
Prachtig 🙌👏👌👌👌🇱🇺💐
❤️
I love watching you paint!
Thank you ❤️
thank you for this video l have been very unmotivated with my art and haven't drawn or painted anything for so long to the point l nearly threw everything away, l hope my passion comes back one day, l know so many have been feeling this way, let's hope 2025 brings us back to life. Love your painting it has an apt message feeling despondent but life is coming back.
Thank you so much. I hope you make art again soon x
I’ve just had a quick read of the comments and concur with them all 😀. My addition is that I really appreciated you sharing your construction of your palette….such good advice 😀😘🙏
Thank you 🩷💕
Beautiful painting!
Thank you so much 😀
Fiona, you really outdid yourself with this one! This wise advice is worth pondering again and again. Thank you, thank you! (By the way, I can certainly identify with "too many palettes." I took everyone's advice on the perfect palette except my own.)
@@jandurant7502 🤣 I know the feeling. xx
Merry Christmas Fiona, Thank you for all your tranquility and advice this year. You help to keep me on track. Cheers, Muffy from Australia
Merry Christmas To You ❤️🎄
What you said today about so scrolling and start doing, that you could lose motivation is so true for me. Thank you!❤ I love your work...
@@cindylabare960 thank you so much! 💛⭐️
