it's clear what you mean to say, about the layers and about the edges in water colours. Very instructional and inspirational video. Lovely to see you enjoy colours, shapes and techniques. Thank you very much. Anna
Ira, I love your style of painting. The pieces of advice you gave us in the beginning of the video are precious. I enjoy watching you painting. Thank you, I wish you every success :)
I really like your watercolor techniques.That's super aweosome! And I always practice and modified your artwork to improved my coloring scale.Fortunately,it's work! thank you always sharing your the technique.
Your English is so good! I'm really impressed; especially since its supposed to be such a hard language to learn. You were right - here are some of the words and phrases you were struggling with: you build up the depth in watercolour by laying transparent and opaque colours. You are an amazing artist. I look forward to so many more videos by you. Your art style is so much looser than mine, so I'm going to have to go and practice a painting that looks like yours now :) Thank you for the inspiration!
Beautiful as always ! Your style is so magical... "Onirique" I would say in french (because I wanna use fancy words ! ) Could tou please do a video about your selfmade watercolors ? I never heard of the thing before and though I would probably find a lot about it on internet, i'd like you to talk about it (what, why, how...) Keep painting !
hey hey Iraville! I recently started posting on UA-cam and I love watercolor just like you. Never got the guts of using browns and greens. Then I came across your videos and saw how beautifully you use these two colors! Just wanted to say thank you for being an inspiration! :D
You know you can mount your camera on the opposite side and just turn the video upside down when you upload it to youtube? This way you will not even notice it and will be more comfortable when you paint and record your art. And hopefully you will paint and upload even more ! Really enjoying!
This is amazing!! I'd love to see videos of you actually drawing the pieces you colour in too! Especially the people because I love your style and would love to see how it comes together :)
i dont feel very comfortable when i sketch or compose and the cam is on plus that i only sketch very rough and light and i dont usually do it at my desk, so i can´t record it. thats why i hardly do that. but i do it from time to time just for my followers . in the nex Video i did it but believe me, thats the most boring part of the video ;) most happens in my head there and thats something i cant record XD
I love this! you make me want to grab my brushes and start practising again! problem is, I have two cats and they just want to be involved in everything I do lol
If you have trouble finding topics on what to talk about (because you switch to music very often) I'd recommend you to talk about your daily activities or interests. Keep up the good work ^v^
Sooo schön! Ich sehe deinen Malprozess und deine Videos so gerne, dass sie mir gar nicht lange genug dauern können :D Ich versuche mich auch gerade an Illustration, bin aber immer ein wenig entmutigt, wenn ich die Arbeiten von so tollen Illustratoren wie dir im Internet sehe... :) Danke für die wunderbaren Videos!
Nein, bitte nicht entmutigen lassen!!!! Es ist alles nur eine Frage von Übung, Erfahrung und Zeit man selbst sieht seine eigenen Arbeiten eh immer viel kritischer als andere. :)
hi! really love your vídeos! i was wondering if you can teach us how to make your homemade watercolor? that would be really amazing and so funny to do.
Your English is fine. I just sometimes think I'm more clever than I am. From now on, I won't try to be a comedian. And you can keep being a wonderful artist.
Your work is so beautiful and clean. And I find awesome and very cute your efforts trying to explain everything in english so we can all understand ❤! (My native language is spanish and I can hardly pronounce english ;-; )
Hello there :3 I just discovered your work and I am binge-watching all your videos and pics on Instagram, you make such simple yet beautiful, heartwarming works! Love them 😍 can I ask you how do you choose when to make a detail with colored pencils and when with watercolour? I'm having a hard time choosing all the time.. I thought it was just a matter of smaller lines = pencils, and thicker ones = watercolors (cause it's easier... I think?), but I'm starting to wonder if maybe the effect is different in specific ways... I dunno, I'm a super beginner 🙈 anyway, amazing work, thanks for sharing the process ♥️
Love your work! Do you use coldpress watercolor paper? This "mask pen" is awesome! Never saw something like that! But I think here in Brazil it is very hard to find. =/ By the way, it's the best part of the video, when you take the mask of, seems to be funny! =D
amazing! I had a question about how you mix your watercolours though... do you add the paint to water in a little dish thing or add water to the paint? also i was curious about what to do about paper buckling- I know you can stretch paper but I dont really know when to do this... is it only with certain types of paper? only if you are using alot of water? I actually went out today and found a molotov masking fluid pen and was inspired by your video today to spend some time trying to get better at watercolour! Thanks for making such amazing videos! :)
well i pick up the paint (from pan) with a brush full of water and put it on my Palette and then i add water somtimes less sometimes more. and i hardly Stretch the paper because i am too lazy doing this ^_^ i only do it when i do bigger illustrations or illustrations for clients. or sometimes when i paint big areas wet in wet. but almost not for my daily personal stuff, there i just tape the paper down. i also bought some big Sheets of 640 gms paper because it was 30% reduced and not that expencive anymore
Ich würde richtig gern mal ein Video auf Deutsch von dir sehen. Deine englischen Erklärungen sind zwar gut aber ich glaube sie wären auf Deutsch einfach detaillierter und besser nachzuvollziehen 🙈
und kaum einer würde sie verstehen ;) ich hab vor 2 jahren sogar deutsche Videos gemacht, die haben aber niemanden interessiert. Aber vielleicht mach ich mal eins so aus spaß, obwohl ich jetzt schon weiß dass es Däumchen runter regnen wird :D
Lol I too get my Ws and Vs pronunciation mixed up all the time and its frustrating but whenever I hear her say wideo, I'd giggle cause its so adorable!
+Artrovert me too, I love her German accent. It's a shame all the commenters on UA-cam teased her about it. There is joy in diversity, unfortunately not all see things that way. 😔
I'm joking. It means you're so good it's making the rest of us look bad. I'm sorry that I made a clumsy joke. In my head, it was hilarious. From now on, that's where the jokes will stay....I still think you're great.
oppps ^_^ sorry that i didn´t get the joke XD i was just confused and didn´t understand what you ment. maybe my english is not good enough or maybe a emoji would have helped to understand ;)
it's clear what you mean to say, about the layers and about the edges in water colours. Very instructional and inspirational video. Lovely to see you enjoy colours, shapes and techniques. Thank you very much. Anna
Your self-made watercolor flows like magic! What spectacular details!
I really appreciate the voice over. I understand that english is not your native language so I (we!) appreciate the effort, very instructive!
I love your style! You would make an excellent children's book illustrator! X
Ich möchte nur hören, wie du den ganzen Tag sprichst. Dein Englisch ist so süß!
Gorgeous! I love this illustration!
I absolutely love your paintings. I have heard watercolor described as laying several sheets colored glass over each other
yeah, opacity is the right word! your process is always so nice, and filled with information. lovely art!
Ira, I love your style of painting. The pieces of advice you gave us in the beginning of the video are precious. I enjoy watching you painting. Thank you, I wish you every success :)
I love the music. And the Illustration too. They are very good together!
You are so very talented. And thank you for the beautiful music too.
Thank you very much to share your beautiful work, please continue!I learn day after day with you!
Thanks for sharing your talent and unique style. I'm enjoying your work very much.
You have such control! I am envious. Your artistry is so inspiring.

You're so sweet thank you for this!
your accent is so nice?? i love ur art,,, i am yelling
may I know what white gel-like pen did you use? Your painting looks so awesome :)
Love your work! Do you use coldpress watercolor paper?
This "mask pen" is awesome! Never saw something like that! But I think here in Brazil it is very hard to find. =/
By the way, it's the best part of the video, when you take the mask of, seems to be funny! =D
Love your work! Did you use the raphael 8402 or 8408 for the first layer? What is the difference between the 2 brushes?
Do you still color correct your prints? or do you have them as is?Do more of these stuff love it..
What brand of gel marker are you using as an under-layer in your small leaf plants, please? It looks really brilliant in the final product.
i think you mean my masking fluid marker? its by molotow
Thanks.
Love your unique style.
You find yourself in your own style, I love it!
Your full name is Irina to?))
thank you! :) and my Name is just Ira, not Irina ;)
iraville just Ira?)) Well, than we almost namesake) nise to meet you! :)

I was curious as to why you put paper underneath your hand while painting. Since it's dry it shouldn't get on your hands right?
It’s probably to protect the painting from the oils that are on your skin.
Just curious, new to your channel. If you don’t mind me asking, how long did this piece take real time for completion
what kind of pencils do you use with ur watercolor painting?
Really nice! :) I was wondering - do you have to use a red color pencil for the outline sketch?
no, you can use whatever you want ;)
Beautiful work as always. How long did this piece take you?
about 2 1/2 hrs (with sketching but without drying time)
Te amo.
This is so amazing, you make an INCREDIBLE picture. Me: cant draw a straight line :D
L o v e the p e n c i l Detail.
You said it perfectly 🙄
brava
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤗🤗
Hmmm... your accent kinda sounds german. Where does my guess come from? My mom articulates herself very similar to you, when speaking english.

Ja das hab ich mir auch gedacht :D Ich fänds aufjedenfall cool und einen Daumen hoch hättest du sicher :D
Aww you don't say wideo anymore. 😔
Lol I too get my Ws and Vs pronunciation mixed up all the time and its frustrating but whenever I hear her say wideo, I'd giggle cause its so adorable!
+Artrovert me too, I love her German accent. It's a shame all the commenters on UA-cam teased her about it. There is joy in diversity, unfortunately not all see things that way. 😔
Absolutely agree with yu!
i am sure i will say wideo from time to time, because i am not sure what exactly is diffrent in this Video compared to my videos before ^_^
Great as always. I think you're in a rut. Maybe you should do a substandard job, just once. But don't post it on UA-cam.
huh? dont get what you mean. i just doing my thing
I'm joking. It means you're so good it's making the rest of us look bad. I'm sorry that I made a clumsy joke. In my head, it was hilarious. From now on, that's where the jokes will stay....I still think you're great.
