Self-taught artist learning how to share her art works.
For years I worked alone and didn't really show my paintings to many people. Because in my mind, everyone can do it and what I produced is never good enough. Yet I realise that if no one gets to see my work, they might as well not exist!
On this channel, I will share my artistic journey, the tips and tricks of drawing and painting in watercolors that I've discovered over the years, and the self-motivational tools that have helped me keep going as a self-taught artist.

Why I Stopped Resenting My Creative Process| Sketching Japanese Storefront| Urban Sketching
Переглядів 27221 годину тому
I saw my process of going through thumbnails and sketches before attempting the final work as a sign of my lack of skills for a long time until I realised even professional artists have their own process. That stopped me from equating having a creative process to my skill level. I'm also going to paint an easy ink-and-wash painting of a Japanese storefront to take a break from the usual panoram...

What I LEARNED painting in watercolour for 3 years| Ink and wash| Painting Rome Skyline (Part 2)
Переглядів 116Місяць тому
In the past, I never felt like painting a good drawing of mine. I was afraid I might ruin a good thing. As I improve at using watercolors, painting becomes the process I enjoy. In this video, I am painting a drawing of Rome's skyline in what is now my favourite medium - watercolors.

This Rome Skyline is just the drawing to prove t...

I too have struggled with the concept of making quick wobbly lines for a loose appearance. However, I am a Virgo and a die-hard perfectionist and to be honest, like the look of more intentional lines in my artwork. Beautiful painting!
That was what I realised too! I have since found artists with very detailed paintings and I love them. So much to see in just one painting and I then realised there is nothing wrong with details.
Incredible work, I love this! I’m embracing my need for detail in my art. I’ve tried and most times failed when painting in a loose style. Even when I paint or color florals with coloring pencils, I prefer to paint or color one flower with detail, depth, and dimension, than struggle to paint a bunch of flowers in a loose style.
That is what I decided after a few failed attempts to paint loosely. I love details and I love paintings with plenty of details and I think there is nothing wrong with that. You do it your way and there is definitely value in that :)
@@UniquelyChie 👍☺️
Love this one.
Thank you. Glad you like it!
I’m an intermediate amateur artist and I avoid videos and advice on finding one’s style. Practicing is more important than finding one’s style. How I paint naturally and comfortably (which is semi realistic) is my style. I love your line and wash art. I’ve been avoiding detailed buildings and I think line and wash for architecture is spot on. I’m in the process of drawing and painting some buildings in line and wash, otherwise I can’t see how I will manage to capture the details. Thank you.
You are you style! That's what I believe in. I was afraid to attempt detailed buildings for a long time then one day I decided to go for it and it turned out better than I expected. Good luck with your line and wash paintings!
You have so much talents!
Thank you. I just practise doing it a lot.
A very good approach
I hope it helps!
Skylines are intimidating for me! I get too sucked into every detail. I love your approach!
Thank you. I hope it helps!
Beautiful! Thank for the advice and wonderful video!
Glad it was helpful!
I loved your technique and advice! What was the white color you were using for final details? Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Hope you find it useful. I used titanium white in gouache.
You have captured the holiday journey in such a memorable way. Love it
thank you!
Gorgeous sketches, love the way you've documented your trip.
Thank you. I am quite surprised to discover that it's quite fun and very rewarding.
Feel I am at KL

"Excuse me, could you please tell me what brush number you're using for that piece?
Hi, thanks for stopping by. I was using Winsor & Newton Cotman no. 8
I like your watercolor technique..thank you very much for your videos. Carole from France.
Hi Carole, thank you so much for stopping by and glad that you like it!
I like your painting a lot and recognized Our Ladys Church at the first glimpse (I live not far away). It’s great, how you choose other colours than the original and still catch the scenery and mood (even more so than sticking to the photo). I am not brave enough to do so but I will give it a try. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you! I always experiment a little for each painting I do and with this one I was trying out the idea of different color combination. Most of the time I am not brave and in that case I will do a color thumbnail to find out if my idea works.
your painting process is so calming, love it!
Thank you so much 😀.
thank you 😀
Thank you!
Love your painting and the way you cropped and positioned the subjects! Thank you😊

Thank you! 😊
Thank you for this helpful and beautiful video❤️ for me I struggle in choosing the right colour palette to use and end up depending too much on the reference photo.. any advide for this ?
Hi @yara8271, after I've done all my sketches and value studies, I usually put the reference photo away when I paint to keep myself from looking at it. Hope that helps!
Stunning, love this!
Thank you so much! 😊
Excellent! Great dynamic range in shadows by using thoughtful colour palette. Good work, thank you for posting.
Thank you!
