I have always wanted to create portraits of people and animals in your style of painting. I dont know where to begin.

I have just started my watercolour journey, and I have been only practicing to swatch. Your video excited me, and I love your painting style. I have bought them, and will use them instead of my daniel smith and M. Graham watercolours, until I am more proficient using my paintbrushes. I have not learned to draw. Do you have any printables for your subscribers to paint along with you? Also, I am a new subscriber, and heared someone talk about this months paintings. Is that only for Patreon members? Could you do a video colour along using these watercolour paints?

The way they behave remind me somewhat of soft pastels suspended in an airbrush medium for painting. Regardless of what is or isn’t in the paint recipe, your sketches are lovely.

Your brush is long. West make us it? Handles water well.

I've never used the Kuretake watercolors, but the descriptions I've heard from several sources tend to say that they're not sure they're actually watercolors -- they feel more like Inktense blocks to paint with. Like you, most say they like them a great deal ..... though I must admit I never heard any of them describe it as liquid charcoal. :) One thing that has become an issue for me with the sets that are such a great bargain --great price and pretty great to use. It's the fact that you can't buy refills open stock -- if you've fallen in love with a color, you have to buy another whole set. It wasn't that big a deal before I began to invest in higher-end watercolors, but now I am reluctant to spend my money this way.

What do you use to make the initial drawing ?

I’m fascinated by the multiple layers. My attempts often result in mud dunes, or the paper itself being unable to let under layers shine through.

I heard of you in a painting group yesterday. We all watched your watercolor hacks and then got busy painting and it was a blast! I found your tutorial quite eye opening and it gave me even more ways to teach watercolor painting more effectively. Bravo for your advice to just let go and paint!

I love your work, just beautiful!! ❤😍🤗

A wonderfully expressive piece, love the inclusion of the cobalt turquoise ,it makes for a beautifully unique inclusion. ❤

I like your style but why do you not center the pupils in the eye?

They look like they work similar to Kuretake and other Japanese paints. I’m sure you e tried them but if not I think you’d like them and they are light fast

I like the look of the BORCIANI E BONAZZI brushes and will try to get some, what size are you using in the video please? Sorry, the video is a bit old so I hope you can help - thank you = )

So enjoy watching you paint, love the depth you achieve in the eyes, so luminiscent. Watching from Ontario Canada.

This painting is really beautiful! I have so many books and so much watercolour but haven’t used them very much as I never know where to start. You’ve inspired me just to doodle and learn how my brushes work.

I’m a rock star 😂 lol. Great vid!

Gorgeous as always Fiona, thanks for sharing and for the demo of these paints. They look really interesting. 😻

lovely painting. those paints look like they were fun to play with. thanks Fiona

As always …. a lovely way to finish a busy day watching your beautiful style of painting …. Erica, South Australia 😀😘🙏

That eye within the rose is amazing. Gorgeous work ❤❤❤

From what you show they are reminiscent of the kind of student quality paint I used to have made with dye instead of pigments. Truthfully I’ve always seen it as a case of preference over one being “better” than the other. I made plenty of beautiful art with it and it very much moved the way you showed. Almost floating in the water until moved as long as the paint was still wet. Those paints are long gone as they were lost during a sudden move situation, but I’m thrilled to have been shown a possible replacement for them. Gratefully, -Puck

My favourite art supply purchase of 2024 (oddly enough) is water soluble charcoal..you MUST try it. Is so fun to manipulate..i do portraits mainly. The brand is Schminke Kohle..it’s expensive…but a little goes so far. Ive used my so much and barely into the tube. I squeeze some in a little tin and let it dry…it makes a cake like a watercolor cake. Just rewet like watercolor, and away you go. I wipe my drawing with a cloth after its dry as a grit remains on the surface…the drawing stays however. A warning though, dont use your best watercolor brushes, its hard on them.

I watched it most for the girls face painting, wow. Amazing what you can do with cheap chalky watercolors, beautiful results and colors.

I fell in love with your eyes, it doesn't matter what you paint with everything is just stunning, I love the rabbits also. Maybe the paint has a lot more filler? The colors are beautiful. I wonder if they're archival or will they fade, maybe make a swatch and leave it in a window and check periodically how it does compared to a well known brand.

Hi Fiona! I love your videos and your paintings! I’ve already learned a lot from you and appreciate it so much. You explain things very well and make it easy to follow your instructions. May I please ask what color mix you suggest for painting dark skinned people? Thank you for taking the time to share your talent and knowledge in the amazing world of watercolor! 🎨💕

Your style is so beautiful!!! I love watching your videos!

What a beautiful way to wind down from a busy weekend watching you create . Thank you! 💜

Hello, Asking again..because I love your work. How to draw a face looking away..like the video .."Best Tricks for watercolor eyes"

Beautiful spread, I'm hoping to join into this month's drawings. Living in Australia we do have a lot of those types of paint sets coming from Asia and I have to say they are 80 percent of them are a good buy, but there's that line that they might not. I will look into this one. Thankyou again ❤ oh lightwish sell Paul Rubens, that's a good Chinese brand

Beautiful spread. Thanks for sharing, these appear to be a great value.

actually if you received them for free it is considered a sponsorship etc at least in some countries as you received goods in payment for a review.

I really enjoyed your video and music was relaxing . Made me have a burst of creativity to paint . A happy new subscriber ❤

Awesome and mesmerising 💖

I love your work, really beautiful and your thoughts and tips were so inspiring and thoughtful! Thank you so much. I just subscribed. 🤗

This is the first of your videos I have seen and found it so helpful that I subscribed. I will now go look into the list of your prior videos. Ah, but first I am going to go put brush to paint and paper and have some fun. Thank you.

Hello again, How do I draw the eyes at the angle you have here? I almost got it, free hand, but I am off a bit. Thank you!!!!

Smart lady. Thank you 😊😊😊

Hello, I'm a bit confused, I'd love to learn this, but are you letting paint dry before you line the eyes?

My first art teacher showed us some basics then said ,"Now you have to make 10000 mistakes. Get started,"

Thank you for the Inspiration. I am a watercolour landscape artist...but I love how you have combined nature into your portraits and people into your nature studies almost abstractly. I love it and it has given me some great ideas I am excited about now. Much appreciation. ♡

Love your beautiful work.💖

Listening to the story of your portrait subject, is really interesting, and gives it so much more meaning. Thanks Fiona. And, could happily listen to your accent telling more stories. K 😊

Came across you on RUclips quite by accident whilst looking at pastel painting, which has been my medium of choice until now. I was so impressed with your style and use of colour that I immediately subscribed and went and bought some watercolours.

I have just found your channel and I absolutely love your work. Thank you!

I feel like I'm watching an alchemist when I watch your magical transformations!🤩

I so enjoyed this video. The advice is very useful and your voice, the music, and the painting is so relaxing.

What a lovely tutorial, so inspiring and encouraging, thank you 🙏

So relaxing to watch your videos and I learn a lot. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of watercolor and your wisdom. The music is so peaceful. Have a great day! ❤❤❤

Hi Fiona, I just discovered from another artist (not sure if I can name her!) that Baohong and Meeden are the same paper! They are in process of re-branding to Meeden! Baohong paper is older stock! Never would have guessed…

What a wonderfully helpful video, Grazie mille… 🇮🇹😉 Subscribed and loving everything x
