    Anna, I’ve been a longtime fan of your work and this is now one of my all-time favorites. I love how deeply you understand how to bring out the glow of watercolors. I know you probably feel like you have to make lots of different kinds of content to keep all your subscribers happy, but I for one could watch you do just macro flowers over and over. 💜

Ive watched many watercolor artists on youtube whose art i like, each with their own preference of how to approach painting and layers, and I find myself gravitating to your methodology. It makes sense to me and is reassuring knowing one of the best watercolorists i know does it this way. Thank you for sharing.

That past is one of the reasons I really love your many interests and you have the most accurate.

    Amazing video, so beautiful and enlightening, thank you! Do you have any advice what colours to use for painting a blue summer sky? I made a mistake by using ultramarine, the color was nice but maybe too granulating and the end result was patchy. I would like to add a nice blue to my palette. Or maybe the problem is my tehcnique?

    • @AnnaBucciarelli
      @AnnaBucciarelli  7 месяцев назад +1

      I used to do the same thing until I realized I didn’t like how intense and granulating blue was for the sky 😊 I would try softer granulating cerulean or the classic Cobalt blue - most perfect for sunny blue skies. If you want to avoid granulation altogether then I would try very very diluted Phthalo Blue Red Shade 💙😊

    Hi Anna, I have some questions about joining your patreon and the other one. I know the other one is a free month to start but I don't fully understand the difference between the two. Is the content the same on each? I looked at the pricing for the patreon. I'm not sure which to choose if I went with that one. I know I would really like access to spoken full tutorials with the sketch that I can print out. I'm not big on lives as I'm autistic and ADHD and often find it hard to sit through a live. I prefer being able to have access after. I'd also like to pay monthly. So, from that info, which would be better the patreon or the other and if it's the patreon, would the $16 one fit my needs best? I think $16 a month is very affordable.
    My next question, I currently have a small W&N palette, I also have the Koi palette, an inexpensive set of tubes from hobby lobby and a decent set of brushes. Would my paints be sufficient for the time being? I do realize that my results will be different but I won't be able to justify the cost to my husband till I produce results that warrant the more expensive paints. I realize I must learn the techniques.
    I've been searching for a watercolor teacher and I just have to say I love your subject matter, the colors you use and your calming voice. I'm so excited to get started.

    • @AnnaBucciarelli
      @AnnaBucciarelli  7 месяцев назад

      Thank you for your message! Definitely would opt for PATREON - all my classes are pre-recorded and videos can be watched as many times as you want (I never teach live ). On tier 3 you would get access to my Skillshare classes as well. I am less sure about the supplies… I use quite a variety of pigments - many from Winsor & Newton. I think if you have some basic pigments from this brand, you want to invest in 2-3 more depending on which palette you prefer or which tutorial you want to explore. I would recommend investing into cotton paper above all else - not having cotton paper would prevent you from being able to apply multiple glazes. Brushes are least important aspect 😊 hope this makes sense! Enjoy 💕
