Simple and brilliant technique ! Watercolours are wondrous subject to explore for me! Very difficult to master! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! Bless
Thank you,madam...I'll learn from your technique, it's look easy but not really to paint easy. Your experience teaching everyone to know to find their way, I'm the one in these persons. God Bless You and your families
Hi, Jenny. May I suggest 3 things? Go buy 3 or 4 tube watercolors, remove the word "never" from your comment, and try. I believe where there is such appreciation, there is ability. Have fun. If a child said she couldn't do something, you would probably suggest she try first, right? 💖
Today was a Serendipity day for me. I found your video. Magnificent. What control you have over that paint and water. What control you have knowing when to stop. I will devour all your other videos and if you don't mind attempt this technique. Thank you for sharing so freely.
🥰🙏🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🙋🏼♀️just WOW, I LOVE your work, the end results are just gorgeous BUT what I really like the most is the absolute joy on your face as you look at the finished magical masterpieces. Thank you so very much for sharing and shining. 🙏🎨😍 Can you say what grade, thickness of paper you are using for us with a new love of watercolour. 💜💞
The paper is normal watercolour paper 300 g. If it buckles, I turn it upside down, put water on it with a big flat paintbrush, and after 5 minutes I tape it all around and let it dry. Then it is straight again.
Hi Lena I love your work and I tried out some of the techniques I see.you do. I use Bockingford watercolor paper 300gsm. I do have a couple of questions for you please. Do you have to enhance the colors after they dried? Mine dried very faded. Why? Is it the colours I'm using?
Dear Louise. If the colours fade it is either because you don't use enough paint or because of a bad quality. The cheeper the paint is the longer there is between the pigments.
@@gianfrypj4 I usually use Winsor & Newton or Lucas which is very good but cheaper, but I think it doesn't matter as long as you use artists watercolour.
Yes - it is not made for watercolour. I had a lot of work myself to find it, because it has to be acidfree. Some people write to me, that they will try Yupo, which I guess is some kind of plastic. But I use cardboard a little bit shining. Ask the store if they can deliver it acid free.
@@lenagemze662 thank you for your reply. I am mesmerized by your work. You mentioned in one reply to try cardboard. Do you mean like poster board? Should it have some absorbency. I will continue to follow you and hope you can shed some light on this. You are so kind to share your beautiful paintings.
@@janeschafer9931 Dear Jane. In the video above, I am using cheap watercolour paper 300 g. In other videos I sometime use cardboard and maybe it is the same as poster board. It does not absorb very good - thats why the colours run so fast. After I paint on cardboard I use a spray fixing for watercolour paintings. Does this answer help you?
@@sand3882 Thank you! I shall try it some day. But still it is made of plastic - I think it is polypropylen! But I know that many artists like it and use it!
Love your paintings, I have tried your technique and love the results, how many colors do you use for each painting and do you use mostly the same colors for each picture.
Thank you Georgia! Right now I like the most: Windsor & Newton: Quinacridone Gold, Antwerp Blue, Ivory Black, Sepia and Lucas: Paynes Grey. The paintings look very different - it all depends on how much colour you use of each one..
It is acidfree cardboard usually used for posters not mend for watercolour painting. 400-700 g. It is smooth (much smoother than watercolour paper) but not shining, and in fact it is very cheap.
Lena! What can I say? I've watched your amazing videos!! This is absolutely Gorgeous! Can you list the colours? I will attempt this on a small scale. Thank you for sharing!😘👍💖 🎨
Thank you Liz. Sorry for answering so late. You can see the colours at the beginning of the video - about 13 seconds from the start. I took a photo of the tubes.
Love your technique. Hate the music. Would much prefer to hear the artist talking even if it's just babble. I always turn the sound way down. Watercolour is my favorite medium. It's magical.
Thank you! Guess it's good without sound. And: Yes! Watercolour is magical!!! And we are only a little more than 5 million Danes, so I am not talking on my videos.
Hallo ich bin Benedikta und habe gerade Deinen Kanal entdeckt und gleich Abonniert. Freu mich auf noch mehr Videos von Dir. Vielleicht hast Du auch Lust in meinen Kanal rein zu sehen. GLG Benedikta
Nina Oak if you get any reaction it IS art just not your type of art. And that’s what makes art so fantastic. We all feel, see and appreciate different things from each and every piece of art we see.
I absolutely love this! As someone who recently switched from painting in acrylics to watercolor I'm so happy this popped up in my feed.
Thank you!
Wow I love this technique. Looking forward to seeing more of your art.u.k.
Thank you!
You absolute genius, you! Love it..... thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you to you too!
Hi Lena,
I absolutely love your style! I am so glad I found you. Your videos are great, can't wait to see more of you. Thanks, Ray 👊😎🎨🇺🇸
Thank you. I shall soon upload a new video!!!
I so love watching you create! It’s a joy🥰
Thank you Janet!

Wild and loose, but with control. Beautiful and freeing!
Thank you Karin!
That is beautiful, lovely technique. Thank you from Dublin.
Thank you from Copenhagen to you Ana!
Estimada Lena, gracias por compartir su creativo trabajo. Gracias por mostrar su arte.
Reciba mis más cordiales felicitaciones.
Muchas gracias!
That is wonderful! It is wild to watch your subtle control while at the same time you so completely let watercolor do its thing!
I guess the secret is, to let the water and the colours do most of the work - but still you must be the captain!
Aye, aye!
Simple and brilliant technique ! Watercolours are wondrous subject to explore for me! Very difficult to master! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! Bless
Thank you to you too Evangel!
Not too shabby. Nice snappy music too.
That was mind blowing

I didn't see what colors she used except for the tubes of paint. Couldn't read. The painting is magnificent!
Really enjoyed watching this
Very beautiful, you are very talented, thank you for showing us this - I haven't got tubes of watercolour and anyway I could never do it like you do!

Dear Jenny. I can not give you a better answer than San did yesterday. Go ahead - have fun!
@@sand3882 OK, thanks, I might buy the tubes and try... Already got so many art projects on the go and unfinished though.
@@lenagemze662 Thank you.
@@jennyhughes4474 , yes! 😃💖
Oh l Love watching you working in your watercolor Art Style. 🥰I have tried to do it similar. I think my watercolor Paper is to soft.🤔🤔🤔
Then buy a harder quality or maybe simply: Cardboard instead!

Thank you! For the same result, just use normal watercolour paper 300 g fine grain.
@@lenagemze662 Thank You so much, I have that. WOOHOOO 😃
So beautiful 👍👍👍
Peter .Uhlig Thank you Peter!,
Beautiful
THIS IS FANTASTIC.....I JUST GO ME WATERCOLOR PAPER LIKE THIS FOR LANDSCAPES..... TFS....:)
Good luck Ann!
Amazing. Don’t know how you’re working like this and not getting back runs or cauliflowers.
Thank you: It's a combination of attention and experience.
This is paint porn not for the faint hearted!!!! You are a genius Lena and I cannot get enough!!!!! Thankyou so much 😉
Incredible
breathtaking! Please tell what weight paper you are using and how you prepare it to use with so much water.
It is normal watercolour paper 300 g made of cellulose. I do not prepare it - I work fast!
Very Clever!!!
Elaine Neumann
Thank you Elaine!
Extraordinary technique!
Sure - thank you!
Thank you Lena
More please : )
Wow Very nice 👍🥉👌
Thank you!
What colors did you use on this piece?
Wow just wonderful!!
Thank you!
Remarkable.
Beautiful Lena. Would heavy hot press work well? Also if one does get buckles how best to remove? Thanks so much for showing your talents🤗
The paper is normal watercolour paper 300 g. If it buckles, I turn it upside down, put water on it with a big flat paintbrush, and after 5 minutes I tape it all around and let it dry. Then it is straight again.
I would love to know more about the paper and colours you use. Love it!
I use thick paper 400-700 g for posters but acid free. It is coated and a little shiny. The colours ar Windsor & Newton and Lucas.
IM LOVING THE MUSIC ALSO!!!!!!!! WOW THANK YOU
Thank you to you too!
superb..
Thank you Aurelian!
Please describe the technique, which colours used, time between applicants.

Want to see more from you.please
Lena, what weight of paper are you using please.? Beautiful work.
Thank you! 300 g in this video and it is cellulose paper.
😃😃
What kind of papers do you use ?
In fact it is common cheap watercolour paper 300 g
Fantasticoooooo
Graaaaaaaaaacia!!
Sorry, Winsor&Newton or Schmincke? Thanks
@@gianfrypj4 I usually use Winsor & Newton or Lucas which is very good but cheaper, but I think it doesn't matter as long as you use artists watercolour.
Meget flot!
Tak!!
.you leave the paint line dry?
Yes - I think it makes the painting more interesting. Else it would all be wet/wet.
What is clay coated paper. What kind of paper are you using. This is new to me.
Yes - it is not made for watercolour. I had a lot of work myself to find it, because it has to be acidfree. Some people write to me, that they will try Yupo, which I guess is some kind of plastic. But I use cardboard a little bit shining. Ask the store if they can deliver it acid free.

Please advise what colours used
Thank you for watching. Please look right under the video where I have written information about colours etc.

@@lenagemze662 oh wow, perfect I go try then! Thanks you so much you are amazing love your art
How do you prepare your paper
I do nothing - just water and watercolour!
Lena! What can I say? I've watched your amazing videos!! This is absolutely Gorgeous! Can you list the colours?
I will attempt this on a small scale.
Thank you for sharing!😘👍💖 🎨
Thank you Liz. Sorry for answering so late. You can see the colours at the beginning of the video - about 13 seconds from the start. I took a photo of the tubes.
Which 3 colour you used, name please?
Winsor & Newton: Antwerp Blue, Sepia, Ivory Black, Quinacridone Gold. LUCAS: Paynes Grey.
@@lenagemze662 thanks
I’m sold at this pint 2:27.
More please
Coming soon!
Love your technique. Hate the music. Would much prefer to hear the artist talking even if it's just babble. I always turn the sound way down. Watercolour is my favorite medium. It's magical.
Thank you! Guess it's good without sound. And: Yes! Watercolour is magical!!! And we are only a little more than 5 million Danes, so I am not talking on my videos.
I love the music, why would you try to get the artist to change just for you??
Lena can do what ever she pleases. It is also alright to express an opinion. People learn from hearing what an artist has to say as she/he is working.
@@lenagemze662 I understand the language problem but there is a translate button which I have just discovered. lol
@@susanhamilton1822 What could she possibly learn from your personal taste in music. Don't answer that, it's a rhetorical question.
Please let me know what your other colors are. I can make out Antwerp blue and quin gold but not the others. Payne’s gray?
0.11 in the video I show the colour tubes: W&N: Sepia, QuinGold, Antwerp Blue, Ivory Black and Lucas: Paynes Grey
Lena Gemzøe , thank you so much for your response!
Well hell, I can do that!
Good luck then and thank you for watching!
Eso es arte?????

@Lena Gemzøe *ME THINKING 🤔 O NO WASTED PAIIINNTTTT. ORYT DIS IS JUST EXORESSIVE SO SHUT UP ROCHELLE* 😂😂
??
The hell was that? A landscape?
Yes! To me it is a coastline with electricity poles and mountains behind. What do you see?
Is there a name for this kind of painting? I love watching you do this.
Not as far as I know! I guess watercolour is all the ways with water and colour! Andrew Wyeth was often painting with dry brush.
