    I love your loose paintings. This is what I am trying to achieve. I take on your advice for keeping the excise fun and for me also not to have great expectations. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing your posts ❤

      Thank you so much 😊 I agree, it truly is all in the process - I find that things fall into place when we let go and simply have fun with our watercolours. Happy painting!

    Thank you again for another beautiful demonstration of your technique and use of colors. I have a question. When you decide to increase the size of a watercolor, for instance if you should desire to double the size of the painting for whatever reason, would this change your approach and technique or is there no difference. I love that painting.

    • @AnastasiaMily
      @AnastasiaMily  4 месяца назад +1

      Thank you so much 😊 Glad you enjoyed this video! I use the same techniques for my larger pieces, but I use larger brushes to make sure my brush marks are still loose and expressive - this helps keep the painting “fresh” and stops me from overworking the scene…

    Beautiful colours. Please may I ask if you are painting on a watercolour block of paper as it doesn't look to buckle when you add lots of water?
    Many thanks
    Jen

    • @AnastasiaMily
      @AnastasiaMily  4 месяца назад

      Thank you so much Jen! I do paint on blocks of paper, I use Baohong Master’s Choice. I love that the paper comes pre-stretched and ready to go, and that it doesn’t buckle. It makes it easier to start new work when I don’t need to get the paper ready…

      Such a good colour combination - I love how those neutrals make Quin.Sienna pop even more. Have fun at the art store 😊 Thank you for watching!

    Wow! jusqu'à la moitié de la vidéo, ce genre de peinture est intriguant avec plein de suspens. C'est un peu comme regarder un film d'aventures avec des scènes inattendues. En tout cas vous maîtrisez bien les couleurs. Vous avez un sacré talent et une immense imagination. J'adore! Je vous souhaite bonne continuation. Encore Bravo et merci! ✌👍✍🙏💐

    • @AnastasiaMily

      Thank you again for watching and for sharing your thoughts. I love your analogy, and I agree - painting in watercolour does feel like watching an adventure movie as you never really know what's around the corner! I wish you a peaceful and creative day!

    Bonjour Anastasia
    Toujours aussi magnifique
    J ai une question pour vous
    Si vous deviez partir sur une île désertique avec aucune possibilité d achat quels sont vos trois pinceau préféré que vous emmèneriez .

    • @AnastasiaMily
      @AnastasiaMily  4 месяца назад +1

      Thank you so much 😊 I love your question! I would take my DaVinci Casaneo long mops series 490 of different sizes - they are such versatile brushes and they make the most fun and expressive marks.

  • @JuanitaBanana-z8w

    C’est très beau . Au départ les couleurs partent dans tous les sens, c’est vraiment abstrait et on se demande ce que l’on va en faire.
    Et puis tu crées un arbre avec des couleurs vibrantes et tout se met en place pour réaliser un beau paysage. Quel talent!!
    Je vais le faire . Pour moi c’est difficile d’ajouter les couleurs finales sans déplacer celles du dessous et sans que ça fasse de la boue!
    Ça ne fait qu’un an que je peins mais je persiste…
    Merci Anastasia.

    • @AnastasiaMily

      Thank you for watching and for such a thoughtful and kind comment! It does take a while to figure out how watercolours behave on paper… it took me years. Glad to know you are persevering with that - have fun!

  • @MrPblackstock
    @MrPblackstock 4 месяца назад +1

    I absolutely love your style and technique, and enjoy your RUclips videos so much. Something I'd like to bring to your attention is the lack of contrast between the text of your written comments against the background on which they appear. I'm advanced in age and am having difficulty reading them from a short distance across the room . . . and I have a large screened TV. Please consider adjusting the font color so that it is a darker value.

    • @AnastasiaMily
      @AnastasiaMily  4 месяца назад

      Thank you for watching! I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying my channel. Thank you for your feedback - I will try to increase the contrast for the text when I edit my new videos.

    I love your ability to "see" a painting in abstract. When I do this I end up with a colorful blob.

    • @AnastasiaMily
      @AnastasiaMily  4 месяца назад

      Thank you for your kind words! It is not always easy to spot a scene in a rather ‘messy’ mix of colours on paper, but it feels so good when it works 😊
