    This was the key message: "architecture is just a tool and excuse to paint beautiful light and shadows". I needed this philosophical approach very much. It's not about the building, it's about the light that sits so beautifully on it. Thank you❤

    This seems like just what I needed in my watercolor journey! Always wanted to paint cityscapes loose to balance my wholistic rational mind, but it is not easy to find tutorials that explain things in just the right way. I think I just found mine!)

    found my niche finally, after watching different techniques and styles of water color, this is where my mind has been and it is explained so logically and simply. Can't wait to experiment. I am a photographer and light is always the key factor. Logically then in watercolor its so important to focus on and she clearly explains that. thank you

    • @nvfineartstudio7296

    painting structure as painting art does not required specs strickly, but the familiar and common primary landmarks or identity of the structure itself or the landscape of structures, whatever the style, as long as what is there that exist is present in your work, unless its a architectural perspective that you design or required to be paint or you are promoting or advertising, painting deals different styles and form, you can hve it in surreal,realism the most common, impression, destortion, whatever , thats painting artistically, but perspective, you hve to put all the detais required to represent the finality of your structure, nice explaination of the host, happy painting

I’m a beginner and now feel I could give a scene like this a go! Thank you so much, I have subscribed as I want to see more of your work. Can I please ask what pencil you are using to sketch?

    • @nvfineartstudio7296
      @nvfineartstudio7296  4 місяці тому +1

      I usually use 4b 2mm for videos, as the camera is not catching anything thinner and lighter, but it's a bit too thick and dark for a normal situation. I'd suggest a mechanical 2b 1mm. In this video I used charcoal woodless pencil, but again it's a bit too strong for normal situation, you have to sharpen it every other painting and hard to erase with kneadable eraser.

    • @nvfineartstudio7296
      @nvfineartstudio7296  Рік тому

      Hi Mark, you can make it by mixing white (Chinese white is semi opaque, Titanium white is fully opaque, I would recommend Titanium) and either B.Sienna or Yellow Ochre. If you have primary colors only, then, yellow with a touch of red to make orange and then a touch of blue to neutralize it a little. I have a video "mixing primary colors" in my "beginners" play list. I replicate Jaune Brilliant there.
