I just found you today. Boy, I am impressed! My baby lilacs have a few precious blooms, I will follow your lead. Just like those fast gesture drawings in school! I subscribed, too. Thanks!

[@AnnaRoseBain]

Wonderful! Thank you so much! Have fun painting your lilacs. I don’t have any in my own yard so it’s pretty special whenever I get some from friends.

[@joycesmith5786]

I learn so much from you!

Awesome job! Twenty min is tough.

Thank you! I am tempted to spend another 40 minutes “finishing” this one. 😬

Hi, Anna. I saw you have paints from many different companies on your palette. Since you're using a lot of the higher end brands, I'm wondering what makes you pick a pigment from one brand over the same pigment from another brand. Is it pigment load, viscosity, or is it just as simple as what you grab out of your kit? I met your sister last year at PSOA (couldn't go this year). You are both so very talented and I'm loving all the art and content you're both creating. Thank you!

[@AnnaRoseBain]

Hi there, thank you for your comment! Yes, I am selective about which colors I use from specific brands. Generally speaking I like my lights to be opaque and buttery, and I like my darks to be transparent... and also very buttery. :-) After LOTS of trial and error, I've settled on the ones I use most often here in these videos. But I'm still always experimenting with new colors and brands.

@@AnnaRoseBain awesome! Thank you for the response and explanation, Anna.

Just say red, yellow and pink. Sound like a snob when you talk like that. Not to mention, my paint from my local craft store Windsor and Newton paints work just as well as your Fancy pantsy paints... My $5 or $10 ( depending on tube size ) tube will do the same. 🙄 Ok now my rant is over. I do like your work, continue 🫵🏼🤨🫴🏼

[@AnnaRoseBain]

Hahahaha! WHICH red, yellow, and pink?? Gotta be specific you know.

[@ronniejones1425]

@@AnnaRoseBain I don't have the fancy paints that you have. I got some crimson and some venetian red 🤷🏼‍♂️ that's all I'm working with right now.

@@ronniejones1425 you can't have too many reds. The reason being: they lose their vibrance as soon as you mix them with another color. I would recommend adding a red to your arsenal that leans a bit more towards the purple. WN makes a good quinacridone magenta.

[@ronniejones1425]

@@AnnaRoseBain I agree, I have a Windsor and Newton magenta. I wish KZbin would let us send pictures because I did a painting of a beautiful woman ( not as beautiful as you of course 😬 ) but I used blues, pink and magenta in her hair. It came out very pretty so yes, I do like magenta. Side note, I watched one of your videos where you was outside painting the beach. You did a great job. It is my favorite painting ( so far ) of yours.
