Hi, Maria incredible painting😍beautiful beautiful 😍 love it so much. you are amazing really enjoy watching this vedio so so so much😍 thank you for showing and sharing. .🌊 the dolphins are enjoying their times😉😊 in the sea and I am enjo watching they were painting😉🌹
Hi Maria, I love your art work. Thank you for sharing and I am going to try this to give to my daughter for her birthday and I certainly will be giving you heaps of credits. I think I have watch nearly all of your videos and love them all. Happy painting and please don't stop. 😊🌹🌹
This is absolutely gorgeous I love water art, I live near the beach so this my favorite art to see. I love watching you do your magic with watercolors!
Thank you so much Loretta 🐳🐬where are you from? I'm on the West Coast and feeling very lucky to live by the water. That's where a lot of inspiration comes from ❤️🎨🌹
I love water art also.and that is the reason why I live where I do.because all those beautiful animals live in my beautiful state.florida .I can't live any place else.ever the ocean is everything to me.😁💡🤘👍☕
I forgot to add that I had never used masking fluid before and had never attempted an underwater watercolour painting. I had always been afraid of blues but now.......thank you again Maria!
Thank you so much! I wanted to send a painting to a friend of mine in Greece who is crazy about dolphins so I decided to use your painting and techniques as an inspiration. I painted mine on a smaller piece of paper and included only one of the dolphins. I think I made the middle part far too small but I really enjoyed following your demonstration and learned a lot! Again, thank you!
sooo coool! if i didn't see how its done, i would have thought this was a photo..actually all your paintings are so close to the real ones, it gives me the feeling that i really am there at that moment..thank you for the experience..
Hi.Maria.I felt so lucky found your amazing world here. I love all of that in your Ig.Actually, I had a really bad fall and my bone has broken two weeks ago.I feeling so happy at this moment...
Maria, that's so beautiful it made me cry! Lovely music too. Wish I'd been encouraged more as a child. More than half of my lifetime has gone but you are inspirational and if I only ever get to be half as artistic as you at least I will have had some fun. Thank you!
beautiful as always!!! I love all your artworks, especially the ones relating the sea such as sea sceneries, boats, dolphins, etc. the combination of different blues and turquoise is incredible, which makes me feel peaceful and relaxing 💙💙💙💙💙 please keep up with your great works and thank you for sharing your talent!
Thank you so much Alice 🦋😃🐬🐬🐬I love painting water and all water related scenes... so I will be posting a lot more paintings like this one🐬😃💕🌺Thank you so much again!
Wooow ...my fav was the humpback n its calf but now ....🤔🤔 i loved that reflection of rays from dolphins back .💛💛💞 Instead trying my hand at painting, i'd rather watch u guys paint 👍👍👍
I goofed!! I'm looking for the sketch of the Watercolor Underwater Whale Painting Demonstration. This is so magical to watch - I super super enjoy 'trying' and because of finding your work - I'm having a great time and praying i'm having some success. I have not put any of my little painting out for view - but tempting!!!!
this is very beautiful. your art always inspire me to paint even though I'm just a beginner and I make more mess than an actual painting . but I keep trying and I've started seeing change. Thank you for posting you paintings and I hope one da I'll be as good as you.😊
Beautiful tutorial! I. Definitely going back to painting, my right hand shakes bad cuz de Parkinsons put, I'm sure I can do it again. Thank you so much for your work and for giving me hope! God bless you always!
I just couldn't believe it was a painting...seemed to me a photo, but probably it's even better than that! It's a pleasure to observe you creating and to know that there Artists like you in the world: this let me hope that all the beauty that's in it, won't pass away without we notice it, at least for a while. P.S.: I beg your pardon for my bad english!
This painting is absolutely gorgeous. when you did yellow ochre, viridian and turquoise. Did you just dab each paint a little and not mix??? Thank you for your videos. Also thanks for putting the colors with what kind of paper it is. Now the size of the painting and we're complete. You do so much already I almost hate to ask (almost) he-he-he-he.
haha thank you Bob :) This one I painted on Arches, Hot Pressed, 140lb, size 9X12... slowly and slowly you will see more and more info in my videos haha so I didn't pre mix the colors on my palette I just grabbed as I went with each and mixed them on a paper. Like when I already had turquoise, viridian hue on my paper..., I just added/mixed in yellow ochre. Thank you :)
Hey I just found your channel. And I love it, since you do animal painting. My father whom an artist, has always told me to keep creating artwork but I'm now a vet so yeah maybe animal painting would be one of 'middle ground' for us. Thanks for sharing your great techniques.
Awwwww....I LOVE THIS!! Awwww, the baby is adorable with its Momma! The water is beautiful. I've never seen anyone paint water so perfectly, it's absolutely gorgeous! It makes me think *what do they see* when they're swimming? LOL! Have a fun, relaxing, loving, satisfying and amazing Easter, girley! Hugz, Tree 🌞💕🥚🌸🍖🐇🌹🐰🍗🏵🥚💕🌞
Thank you so much Mia :) You are so kind :)) xxx btw I started a new Patreon site where I upload two (for now) real time videos per month (these videos are not available here on youtube) and depending on your subscription tier, there's an option where You can request any pencil sketch (if available) from my already posted youtube channel videos (paintings) for digital download. Just fyi :) www.patreon.com/mariamorjane xx
its just so beautiful and relaxing.you're really very kind 😊 you're think about our requests and choices,you're really an amazing artist I respect you very much!!😄😄
Hi Priya, thank you so much for both of your comments :) It's a bit personal for me to talk about my dreams or myself on my YT channel. I share my art and I hope that's enough to get to know me :))
When I first saw the picture on the video I was amazed at the light and reflection detail! May I ask, have you had formal training as an artist, or is this raw talent? Also, do you go by a mental image or a picture? Just curious on that one. I was happy to see the baby dolphin had a head! LOL! I think maybe you said something about it looking the other way? I didn't catch it. But for a long time that baby looked headless, poor thing! I love dolphins, btw, hehe. Great job, again! ~~Liz
hi Liz ;) glad the baby dolphin turned out ok at the end haha No I don't have any training, I'm just a self taught artist, I started in 2012. I always have something in mind I want to paint then if I need a reference photo then I will look for couple photos etc thank you :) xx
This painting looks like a definite sense of satisfaction! I appreciated knowing how you achieved your light coming down into the water, and the building up of the dolphin's was fascinating. I just had a young friend of mine request a dolphin painting, so this is very helpful and the timing is perfect. Thank you, Maria!
Hi! I looked at your FAQ section and didn't find anything on what brand of paints you use! Also do you use your watercolors straight from the tube or let them dry? :) thank you so much!!
Hi :) I create my palette before I start painting, some paints are already on my palette from a previous painting...dry.. so I just add water to it and its just like out of a tube. when I do need more paint, I just squeeze it out of a tube on my palette. :) and sorry, I just haven't started listing everywhere what brands I use..right now I paint with Holbein watercolors but these dolphins I painted with winsor/newton professional. My paper is by Arches (Hot Pressed) thanks!
Excellent dolphin video. Thank you for sharing. I'm at a crossroad on technique; I'm painting a CA brown trout under water and while I like where it is going with the colors I do not know how to make the fish look wet after the watercolor paint is dry. It just has the appearance of being 'flat' (not perspectively) and dull. Any tips and suggestions or videos (yours or anyone else's) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you Liam! To make the fish look wet you want to find light, so with watercolor preserve light and then build up the layers.. if you already have colors in, you may want to try to lift up the colors. I don't know if I have a video of a fish that has been posted.. I did another painting of a dolphin but I don't think that one is showing "wetness"... maybe someone else will see this comment and will have a video in mind.
Is there a way to do it without the masking fluid? Will it make a difference if you carefully go around the edge of the whale/blank places with the paintbrush?
Hi Mathilde ☺️🌸Yes you can and it will not make any difference :) I paint without using art masking fluid all the time, you just have to go around and make sure the paint doesn't go inside the dolphins :)
Toujours un vrai bonheur de vous regarder peindre ..... Merci !
Merci beaucoup Christiane!❤️🤗😘
