Wow. I have seen so many tutorials, but I don't think anyone has ever mentioned this thing with the staining and non staining pigments. This was so useful, thank you! Now I understand why my favourite artists all use different pigments depending on their style.
Thank you 🩵 it’s true - depending on the style and technique different staining properties might be more valuable 😊
I can’t believe you freehand the sketch down to those little details! Wow what amazing work
I am 73 n never hold a brush in schools as my subject were different but I hv loved drawing n painting as a child !
Now as I hv retired decided to take art as a hobby n by looking at your finest work n I got inspired n trying to paint
Taking your tips n hope I will be able to do as I wanted to so someday with pride as an artist! Haaaa
U hv are a good educational tutorial n an excellent quality of a teacher to most of us I believe
n keep up your great amazing sharing n really appreciate it!
God bless u with good health n happiness too🎉❤😊
congratulations! I’m 72 and just started painting also. So much fun and Anna is a fantastic teacher! She has helped me immeasurably.
Welcome to “senior club “ happy that I am not alone 👍🏻🙌😀❤️🤗
Likewise! I am 72 and have just started watercolour!
Hi Anna, you asked about our thoughts/ preferences about watercolor paper texture, so here are my thoughts: I’ve been studying all kinds of watercolor paper, hopefully with an open mind. Before I continue with that thought: There is a very informative article on various types of watercolor paper on Jackson’s art supply website. I don’t work for Jackson’s, but I am a trained librarian and researcher, who likes to gather and organize information compulsively!😄 My own personal preferences tend to gradually change over time. Up until recently, I preferred hot press 100% cotton paper, because my art primarily focuses on portraits, wildlife, and botanicals. I’ve only recently begun using watercolors, mostly since the COVID lockdown. When that happened, I was advised that hot pressed paper was the paper of choice for my chosen subjects because it tended to show every little detail. Then I discovered, probably by accident, that other textures can lend some very unique effects as well. So, I guess now I tend to think first about the effects that I hope to achieve, if I want my painting to be more realistic or more ethereal and dreamy, and then I choose the texture based upon that. I don’t tend to like doing the same thing all of the time, and try to push myself out of my comfort zone in one way or another in order to grow as an artist. As my watercolor skills (hopefully) improve, I’d like to be more innovative with my future work. This includes the paper, because I tend to think of paper such as the kind we use as an art form in and of itself, not to mention a wondrous scientific invention!
Another amazingly informative video Anna! I love to use both staining & non-staining pigments! The trick which I found works best when glazing with low or non-staining pigments is to allow them dry for a few days up to a week! That really allows the pigments to soak and settle into the paper, then I use very soft squirrel brushes to apply my next layer as to not disturb the under layers. That works really well!
@@ohbli_oh I only use the synthetic ones too! I guess I should be more specific!
Also try to aplPy a layer of pure water on non-staining pigments after your drying time and before applying a new layer of pigments. Just water and let dry. It helps the pigment to be soaked in into the paper even more.
They are not skinned alive. They kill the animal first. All very sad no matter what. It’s easier and more efficient to skin something not moving around wouldn’t you think? Not that I could do either, but after spending many hours on friends’ farms as a kid and running away fast when it came time for the ummm “ harvest” shall we call it I can attest to end the life then do the dirty. Escoda Versatil are excellent mimics of sable so there is hope out there.
I feel like you always create a video that hits on a topic that I’m battling with. Thank you as always for your insightful video. I hope you’re doing well and that your new year is going as you hope
Your tip about using staining pigments for crisper edges is especially helpful. I always learn something new from your videos. 💕
I think every beginner to watercolour painting should be made to watch this video first, it is so informative, I wish I had known about pigments and how they react when I started to play with watercolours, it would have saved me lots of frustration and filling my bin with disasters!! Thank you so much for all the advice and, please, keep videoing your inspirational paintings.
Thank you for teaching about staining properties, I had no idea! 😅
Beautiful painting, beautiful voice, and a well thought out demo!
I love your videos! This is my idea of a perfect Sunday morning. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us. I learn so much!
Absolutely stunning 😍
thank you so much, Anna for this tutorial. I have just been struggling with the issue of raggedy edges and had no idea what I was doing wrong. I even thought maybe the problem was I needed to use only non-staining pigments so I could clean up the edges easier! I’ve just re-looked at the places that were giving me so much trouble and it was where I was glazing over a non-staining pigment like you showed. Bingo! You have saved many of us so much frustration and so many messed up paintings with this video. THNK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! 😊❤️
Thank you again for this tutorial. I love to teach Uber beginners and always include the pigment properties in understanding color and mixing class. I get many glazed, bored looks, but I know they will appreciate the knowledge in the future. I will direct them as always to your videos and especially this one. Excellent information and so wonderfully presented. I love to watch hypnotized as you paint. And draw. 😂 I am always learning so appreciate you very much. Thank you 🙏
Please make this a Patreon tutorial! It’s gorgeous.
I asked for the same but didn’t get a reply, hopefully this is a tease for what’s to come on Patreon.
Wow great video as always...I've been trained to paint using 4 pigments only, in both artificial and non-artificial versions of the pigment...this simply means that the option of choosing a non-staining pigment wasn't available...of course now, there's like over 200 colors in my collection but it's very refreshing to learn new things even as a watercolor veteran. thanks!
Thank you so very much!! I have been choosing low staining pigments because I thought they would be easier to lift when I make a mistake. So I have actually been staying away from the paint that I actually should be using! Really an eye opener!💕
Thank you Donna! It’s good to try both and I think you will really enjoy the vibrancy of high staining ones 😊 let me know how it goes! 💕
A wonderful, very useful presentation for any watercolor artist or student. Thank you.
Such a critical tip for a beginner. I can't wait to try staining vs non/low-staining colors myself! Thank-you for your videos- I find this the most useful watercolor channel on UTube!
over the years ii've gotten better at absorbing more details about different supplies, how they play/or dont w/each other, & how to better pair things in layers that are pleasing, you touch on a significant one, with regards tp pigments properties, & while seemingly unrelated, you also hit upon the frustration ii have held about my self, not even considering the incorrect supply used rather than actual skills practice. Ty for clarifying what seems a mountain of info ii didnt know how to broach.
I watch and listen to everything. I also love to read every grateful comment from the community because it it now drilled into my brain so I won't forget it . Thanks to you and everyone.😊
Just found you and love your work and your explanation is perfect thank you
Welcome!
Very useful technical information, even though I'm not especially interested in crisp edges it's good to know how pigments and paper interact 🙏
Lovely soft voice commentary... very helpful techniques, cold pressed paper is my favourite due to as you say, slower drying time, allowing easier blending.
I love your tutorials and the manner you present with. Thank you for all the tips . I never knew about the staining effect ♥️
Lovely demo, great explanations!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Thanks so much for this video. I really learnt a lot and probably saved a lot of money buying the incorrect "variations" of similar colours.
Such a helpful video!!! Thank you so much!!! Gosh, you really are an expert in watercolour!!👏
Thank you so much 😀
Анечка, как прекрасны ваши картины. Они заряжены позитивом. Очень интересно рассматривать ваши картины.
Спасибо Александр 😊💕
Thank you so much for this information. As a self taught water color painter I had no idea about non staining colors. I will now make sure I’m aware of what type of paints I’m using!!
I loved the information about the the different paints . I did notice how some paint blurred and some did not, never thought to check it or and find out why . I learned a lot thank you
This was exactly what I needed to know. Thank You!
Very beautiful Anna I love your style of work witch every time ending up in an amazing piece.
Greetings from the Netherlands GJ
Thank you! As always, a very interesting, informative and helpful video. If only my mistakes and errors looked half as beautiful as yours!!
Thank you for all the precise information. This will open a lot of windows for me.
Thank you Julie!
Thank you so much for this tutorial and by the way you have very beautiful soothing voice, I truly enjoy your videos and learning a lot ❤️💐
I use hot press watercolor paper for inking with watercolors. I usually don't blend much with those type of illustrations. If I need blending with my watercolors, I'll use cold press but that means sacrificing clean, detailed inked linework.
For inking definitely hot pressed all the way!!!:)
Drawing is my first love. Watercolor my second. I have purchased glass dip pens and India ink to try. Plus some water colors and a variety of cotton wc paper. Now I need to dive in. 😂
@@jaehaussling1894 I am very similar in a sense that I spent most of my life drawing (and still do for my commercial work) but fell in love with watercolors in my 30s 😊 Enjoy! You will love both 💕
Thank you so much for your amazing tutoring, I never would have known the effect of staining colours on crisp outlines. Greatly appreciated!❤❤❤
Thank you Roselyn 😊
Your work is magical and so ❤️ beautiful
Thank you so much!
Hello Anna, your video of the cutest little finch and the great info on the staining watercolour paint is so helpful! You are so generous with sharing your amazing talent! You are a beautiful painter!❤ Thank you so much! Helene

You're the best teacher. Can I share you my drowning, that you have taught ? 15:26
Changing from cellulose to cotton made a big improvement on my paintings, I stick to cold press cotton and the way they absorb pigment allow me to create beautiful layers, comparing to cellulose where usually my paints looked to saturated. I haven't checked much about pigment properties as I still using my cotman set, but I would have it in mind when upgrading into tubes. Thanks Anna!!
Thank you for sharing your talents and material preferences. Excellent tips and painting! Your way of explaining the salient points is wonderful. Seeing the difference in styles and material preferences among artists is always illuminating. Rachel Parker Varner, in her latest tutorial on hot pressed paper, uses only non staining pigments. Her style is looser and she is still able to get a full value range. We can all learn from each other. (Okay, we will all learn much more from you than the other way around! 😉)
Black often looks like a hole because it absorbs colors. Phthalo blue, phthalo green and a red together creates a black that is colored. Also, Payne's grey is a blue black that has color. Love your work.
Great recommendations thank you!
I grabbed a staining color to do sky that changed the style of my idea. I keep going back trying to figure out why it just works and I'm now practicing to finish in a completely different direction 😅. Now I understand why. Thank you 😊❤
Enjoy!!! Cobalt Blue and Cobalt Violet are just perfect for skies - you can “lift”super soft fluffy clouds and subtle granulation adds beautiful texture 👌💕
Thank you for the tips. This is so beautiful!
Cant wait to see this on Patreon 😍
Morgen thank you! But as I explained in the video there were mistakes / incorrect pigments used to illustrate a point so it’s not really suitable for a tutorial 😊
@AnnaBucciarelli yeah I did get that part. I've seen you paint the same image several times so I was hopeful..(I reaaally like your orchids!) . Whatever you post next on Patreon, I'm sure it will be fantastic.
Thank you so much for this very informative video! I do love hot press for the crisp edges but I dislike the fact that the paint dries so fast.
Everytime I start to believe that I'm a very good watercolor artist, I watch one of your videos and rip up my latest painting. 😂
Never rip your work!!. You can always look back and see your progress and be proud. Your efforts are about expressing and having fun after all. Best luck.
Thank you so much for your beautiful and useful videos! ❤
Thanks Anna! Appreciate your expertise.
Thank you. You are inspiring.
Thank you for the video. I learned alot !!! Beautiful work
Such a helpful tutorial! Thank you!
Gorgeous ❤❤
Lovely, lovely, lovely, I have to get back on your patreon again.🥰
Thanks so much for the valuable tips you have shared, Anna.
The veins in the petals are just stunning! Thank you for sharing your wisdom & talent with us :-)
Extremely helpful, thank you so much 😊.
Fabulous video, super helpful tips! Thank you!
I have not painted for 2 months due to moving houses and found all my new paintings feel muddy. I always go to your channel whenever I feel frustrated with my paintings and your always pull me back to the right direction
Nice piece of art🎉😊
Thank you, Anna 💐! This video was a real eye opener for me especially your explanation on staining pigments!
Beautiful colors using this artwork❤
Great tutorial-thanks for sharing your knowledge 🌸
I love to watch you paint. Your videos teach so much, I have to watch them several times. I wish I could have the results you do!!❤
I just love how vibrant this piece is, i absolutely love those birds, so colourful. Very inspirational thank you for sharing your stunning work with us ❤️ 😊
Such an amazing tutorial that helped me understand why I'm struggling so much lool
😊💕
So thankful you addressed staining colors, I'm gifting myself some artist quality watercolors when I reach my goals & this helps me select the right pigments 🧡
Very informative video and descriptions, lots of tips, thank you
Great video! I opened RUclips hoping you had a new video and there it was posted 3 minutes before. I am so excited you made a video about this topic because it was something I asked about. Very interesting content. I will start paying attention to staining properties! Also I like how you were doing the charging technique again so heavily in this demo.
Thank you !
Lately for me the paper has really become so important. I like to sketch my subject, and then paint well of course, hot press is the easiest to sketch on. And perhaps because I was really into botanical drawing with Wendy Hollander, using coloured pencils, the hot press, and the coloured pencils are perfect partners as far as I'm concerned, but I found out that hot press is really not much fun to paint on with watercolour and just now watching your video you said that the paint dries faster on hot press and now I know why I can't lift color! One of those "DAH!" moments for me!
Great points - Hot pressed is definitely more suitable for pencil work and gouache for that matter 👌 for watercolors though it was never my preference because it dries so quick 😊
One word...MAGNIFICENT ❤
Your such a wonderful teacher! I love getting to sit down & talk about (listen to) creating & thats how it feels watching your videos. I always learn something new & I love hearing about your opinions, process, & tips. I've been painting with watercolor for a while now & I fall more in love with it as the years go by. Such a wonderful way to express oneself. Would love a video with any tips you have for portrait watercolor (totally understand if that's not your thing) but I think it would be interesting! Lots of love! 🙏🌈🎨
So beautiful and great 👍🏻🤩 thank you for the Tutorial 💐 regards Tanja G.
Thank you so much really amazing tutorial
Great information! I’m going to organize my paint tubes by their staining properties so that I don’t have to look at the tubes or websites for each painting!
That's a good tip about the low vs high staining paints. I hadn't thought about that before. I'll have to check my glazing palette to see which kind I have.
Fantástica ilustración del diamante y las flores , el volumen de de la obra en general sus colores y sombras con esta difícil técnica
Wonderful tutorial and beautiful painting 👏‼️🖼🎨. Learned so much. Thank you for sharing your technique, tips, and talent ‼️👏‼️👏👏
Wow, didn't hear about it before. Thank you for sharing this information with us
😊🩵
Love your videos. 🥰
Scarlet lake color,I had a colored pencil in that color from the brand.It’s just lovely,a pale dusty pink lavender.
You are very talented!
Thank you so much!
That’s such wonderful advice, thank you. I like to paint a lot of layers in my realistic watercolours and I often use inktense paint pans as a first layer because I know they are super staining. ❤
Jadore ton travail. Magnifique
superb!💌
Lindo seu trabalho!!❤
Patience! Thats what I forget when it comes to watercolor. Letting each layer dry when necessary.. they say you should work fast but you have to slow down to learn and enjoy the process. Speed will come naturally.... (This is a remimder for myself and those who struggle with anxiousness and perfectionism)
I'll add that I will be the first to admit that perfectionism isn't something you can easily get through. Do what works best for you. ❤ We can all do this!
Excellent points!!!! 👌💕 learning to enjoy the process albeit slow sometimes is key
I want to add that there's also the thing as using enough water for the layer and not any more. When I knew the water balance, one layer stopped taking an hour to dry 😅 (it takes 20-25 minutes instead because of my climate but a fan does help)
Happy New Year. Gorgeous painting, love your videos.
Happy new year! 💕
great information thank you so much. Love the painting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful and informative 💕. I can't believe how quickly you cover a large area with a small brush!
Thank you so much!
Such an interesting video! I am just about to play with hot press paper so thank you so much for the warning! I can't ever be quick enough for the cold press (even with the slowing medium) so hot press might not be my cup of tea however, I did like the idea of a smooth surface!
Your tips on staining paints are very helpful. Yes, we are all guilty of buying some gorgeous color and then having issues as we glaze or deepen colors. I have just started identifying my most commonly used paints with their staining properties (and I have EVERY Quinacridone color!), and that should help, along with your tips. Thank you!
This was soo informative, I never understood the differences and how the different properties, staining and non staining pigments and the uses. Thank you so much for this, your such an awesome artist💝🎨.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you Sara!
Thanks!
Thank you so much Nancy! 😊💕
Great video!!! Beautiful watercolor. TFS! Austin TX USA
Yes, my results can be a bit hit and miss and I’m getting to a point, as I get more proficient where I’ll need to consider transparency and staining properties. I definitely prefer cold press paper and generally 100% cotton as it suits my style of painting. Like someone else mentioned, I’m thinking of putting together a palette made up of non staining transparent colours. Especially for more delicate and precise subjects. As always’ I love you tutorials ❤
Thank you Nancy! Non staining ones are so lovely and delicate - enjoy!
I learned so much with this video, thank you, new sub.
Welcome to the channel 💕
This is the very first time I've ever heard that hot press paper dries faster than cold press. I've even watched watercolor paper comparison videos where they c compared rough, cold press, and hot press of differing brands, and it was never mentioned. (You'd think that'd be a pretty important point to include!) Lol... I recently bought my first 100% cotton hot press paper block just to see what the smoothness factor is all about (I've always worked on rough or cold press) so this will be super helpful to know going in. Thank you! 🙏☺️
