Love this! Thanks. Right when you said " looks like a disaster area" , I was thinking " oh beautiful". Lol. Can't wait to see the finish.
LOL! Thank you, Debbie, I appreciate your positive approach!
Beautifully done and you make it look so easy.
I greatly appreciate this video. Well I appreciate many other teachers and tutorials- I do sometimes feel that it is a little bit disingenuous to teach a watercolour video that starts with a very detailed pencil drawing as many teachers do. I appreciated the way that you actually just started painting as I feel like more watercolour teachers should just teach water colouring because to fill in a pencil drawing to me seems very similar to just filling in a colouring book. Whereas your tutorial is actually true watercolor! Thanks!
April, thank you so much for your comment! It means a lot because I do not like coloring book watercolor, but it seems a lot of people consider it to be the height of artistic achievement. Certain control is of course necessary, but I much prefer to give the painting a certain freedom to develop. Btw, have you seen my Loose Watercolor playlist? There are a lot more videos in this style, I'd be curious to know your opinion on them. Thanks again!
Beautiful and impressive.
Thank you!
You give me hope that I can improve my technique. I appreciate everything you share and explain. ♥️
Maggie, I know you can! Just keep painting and have fun!
Beautiful. Love the idea of doing a loose beginning outside with detailed work back at the studio.

If you have Skillshare membership, I'm on there too. :) Did you watch the other two loose watercolor videos I have here? Here are the links just in case you haven't seen them yet: ua-cam.com/video/o_lDS9oqxMs/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/vCzDq5ntK2s/v-deo.html
Lovely. It looks so easy….
Thank you! Just a little practice... :)
It's a very nice watercolor art 👍
Thank you so much! 😀
I would love to learn from your tutorials but those of us who are not true artists, this video is fast. Oh just thought maybe I can slow it down. Would that work?
Peggy, if you click on the cog wheel on the bottom, you can adjust the playback speed. Also if you look at newer tutorials, they are slower. I have a whole playlist on watercolor flowers - ua-cam.com/play/PL1dHnU6CKLW0WxaxQAJZjIsY3usnjvuvk.html Hope this helps!
@@KseniaAnnis my gosh thank you so much for responding and quickly! I shall go to your web site immediately. Blessings to you
Hey Ksenia, beautiful painting indeed. Are you able to help me with the kind of water colour brush you are using? What bristles does it have? Many thanks!
Tarun, these are Asian art brushes that are sometimes called Chinese painting brushes or calligraphy brushes. The ones I'm using have natural goat hair. I can't recommend a brand because I bought them from my Chinese painting teacher, but you can find some online. Just make sure and check the description, some of them shed quite a bit and some are better quality.
Beautiful I will be trying this. What kind of paper? Do you treat it before beginning
Thank you, Jacquelyn! This is 140 lb / 300 gsm cold press watercolor paper. I think the brand I used was Canson XL. I didn't do anything with it before I started painting, just taped the border and pined the corners. Tag @tummyrubbstudio if you post on social media, I would love to see your painting!
👏🏼💜💜💜
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you. This is beautiful and I love your technique. Can’t wait to try. Did you stretch your paper?
Hi Gilbert! Thank you so much for watching and your nice comment! I don't stretch the paper. I've put sticky masking tape all around it and then I used push pins to hold it in place better. I paint on a piece of foam core board, so pins are easy to insert. I found that the tape only doesn't hold the paper when I start wetting it. Also after I finished and dried the painting, I turn it over on a clean surface, spray the back with water very lightly and put it under weight, it stretches the paper even if it warped during painting.
i am new to your channel
how do you paint without any guidlines? like how do you paint without the lineart?
i am a beginner in watercolor thankyou so much!!~~
Welcome to the channel! I usually do have a pencil drawing, just a very light one. During the painting process I also draw with my brush. That helps the painting to develop more organically and intuitively. I show freehand painting exercises in a couple of recent lives, if you’d like to check them out. :)
@@KseniaAnnis yes thankyou
Nice
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful! What brand of paints do you use?
Karen, I use mostly Daniel Smith with some Winsor & Newton, Sennelier and Holbein colors. If you scroll through the posts in the Community tab, the very first post is my palette with all the colors identified.
I love your brushwork and style! Can you please tell me the brush you are using?
Thank you, Donna! These are Chinese goat hair brushes. I can't tell you the brand unfortunately, I bought them from my Chinese brush painting teacher, but I'm sure you can find something similar on Amazon or on orientalartsupply.com/. They are also sometimes called calligraphy brushes.
@@KseniaAnnis Thanks so much! I’m looking forward to seeing more of your demos.
So, the bloom is wet-on-wet technique?
Yes, for the most part. I started on dry paper with a yellow wash, but after that all the colors went into that wet paint.
Love your style. Please let me know your name to follow you for more videos. Thanks.
Thank you! My name is in the name of the channel - Ksenia Annis :)
please post your name on the beginning of your videos
