I always learn so much more when there is a good and then better comparison.
I am glad to hear you have found this video helpful! Thank you for watching 😊
Wow!!!! I didn't know how the first painting could be improved but it certainly was and with just a few changes and additions. Thanks for this.
Thank you for watching! I so am glad you have found this video helpful 😊
Thank you for sharing this valuable information -- using colors this way certainly adds to the interest and unity to the painting. I will definitely remember this trick!
So glad you find this helpful! Thank you for watching 😊
Oh, my! Thank you for giving away your secrets. 😊❤
Thank you for watching, and I am glad you find this video helpful 😊
An interesting approach to teaching - side by side demos tell you much more than a comparison after the fact.
Thank you! I think so too - it makes more sense when we see the process for the both versions and compare it stage by stage.
You have a real mastery for blending colors. You are right, they really do enhance the visual level, giving extra richness to the painting. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge and advancing the degree of beauty in artwork.
Thank you for watching and for your kind words. Colours have so much power, and it is such joy discovering what they can do!
I think the comparison is outstanding! Thank you for your instructions!
Thank you so much 😊 Glad you find this helpful!
This is a wonderful way to emphasize the importance of tonal contrasts and complement. You are such an effective artist and teacher!
Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
Very beautiful! I thought the first painting was beautiful until you painted the second one and explained why you did it differently. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of watercolor painting!
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed this one!
yes, i can see it…tie and mirror. i really like the blue addition to the right tree. thank you!
Thank you for watching! That little hint of blue does make the painting so much more exciting. I love the powers the colours have!
Thank you for sharing your color harmony trick. I will keep it in mind when I am painting. 😊

Artistic harmony of warm and cold paints.Love tree#2.Thanks.
Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
The comparison is really helpful and makes it a lot easier to understand why we can’t just use the colours straight out of the tube
Glad you find this helpful! Thank you for watching :)
I really like how the buff titanium adds depth and misty essence.
It is such a useful colour for landscapes! Very subtle, but it adds so much to a scene.
Thank you for this! IT makes so much sense seeing it!
Thank you for watching 😊 It does help seeing the results side by side!
Wow that was really informative! By demonstrating it, I could “get it” because just looking at the two finished pictures I wouldn’t be able to say why one definitely looks better. Thank you so much!
I am glad to hear that! Sometimes little things like these hints of colour are hard to spot but they do make a big difference. Thank you for watching!
Excellent, informative demo - thank you 🙂
I am so glad to hear that! Thank you for watching!
Although the painting on the right has more depth and dimension, i find the clouds in the left painting more soft and natural. 😅
I do love the clouds on the left too! That's the thing with watercolour, when you paint wet into wet, it is almost impossible to recreate the exact same wash, and I love it because every piece is unique. But this video was not about painting clouds, it was about how I use colour to create harmony. Thanks for watching 😁
GENIAL...!!! Anastasia...👏👏👏👏👏🎶📽️🖋️📖🖌️🎨
Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
Love your style.
Thank you so much!
Your explanation makes me think maybe it wouldn’t be so hard to paint something like this myself! Thank you.
I am happy to hear that! Thank you for watching, and have fun painting this!

Beautiful! I have one question though. Why the white gap between the land and the sky? I don't know why but that I find that annoying. Of course I am one of those people that blends everything to death and has a very difficult time with negative space. I always feel that I need to fill it in with something.
Thank you for watching! When I paint my landscapes I am guided by the rhythm and the relationships between different elements of the scene - between the lights, the midtones, and the darks, and between the colours I choose for that particular scene, and not by trying to make something looks realistic. I use a lot of white space (the pure white of the paper) in my work to bring more depth and atmosphere to a scene, and to separate the different elements/areas of the landscape. In this particular one, the white line represents areas of morning fog to me, but it also separates the hills and the fields, making both areas stand out more, and the the same time pushing the hills further into the background, creating depth. I love how much "fresh air" the white brings into a landscape, but we are all different so you don't have to use it in your work - that's the beauty of art, we are all unique in our creative expression. What someone finds annoying can look lovely to another person, and vice versa.
One of the things I learned is "add the colors you've used even if it doesn't make sense. Hope that makes sense.
Exactly! I love the way you worded this. You only need a little touch of those colours to create harmony. Thank you for watching!
Exactly! Perfect explanation)
For me as a dabbler in watercolour I ''invented'' my own trick: in case of any unclear situation - add violet dark )) now I start to guess why!
Thank you so much for your tutorial!
Thank you for watching! I love your “trick” - adding Violet often bring such beautiful colour contrast to many landscapes ✨
