3 doodles to get you started with watercolors

[@lorilazise1521]

Who gives a thumbs down to art?! This is so nice to watch....relaxing. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@Nianiani]

Aww thank you so much for your encouraging words! ❤❤❤

[@sophiaesanchez]

Maybe because it took awhile to get to the doodle part? IDK 🤦‍♀️

[@sarah4264]

Trolls and professional haters, that's who.

[@aleidadiaz2261]

These ideas are great for bujo themes. Also, fun to do when you don’t know what you’re feeling about what to paint, but still want to create and use your hands and paints. Tfs.

[@Nianiani]

Yeaa! XD they're very easy themes to do for bullet journaling too 😁 happy you liked it!

[@MsTilda2]

This was the best video I,ve seen on youtube, I juse to paint with my father, whom was really talented and painted many paintings and portraits, I had a waterpaint box at christmas from my father, and this is the first real painting i have made, using the tecnique you show, I allways just use to sit and watch and admire my dad.Thanks this made hope for me..❤❤🙋

[@Nianiani]

Thats so cool! You probably have it in ur genes but just need to get started! How exciting for you ^_^ best of luck with your future art! ❤️

[@nancyfava1050]

Love this as it is showing that to paint for the pure joy is what it’s about, not for an end product. Doodles and a sketch diary are wonderfully freeing words to me!

[@Nianiani]

Yep! The medium itself is fun enough to play with. No need to paint anything fancy 😊😊😊

[@anadarchi6683]

Thank you soooo much for this tutorial!!! I’m a beginner beginning with watercolouring and this video is perfect for me. 😊

[@Nianiani]

Great to hear! I hope you have a lovely time painting! ^_^

[@alison943]

I haven't painted since I was a child. As we are in lockdown I decided to look at art and doodles. I found this video very easy to follow and have found this therapeutic. It is great to get back into art. Thank you very much.

[@Nianiani]

Welcome! I'm so happy to hear that! :D:D

[@mmmmlllljohn]

This looks like a fun, no-stress activity so I’m going to try it as I’m new to watercolour. TFS!

[@JVan-yd3zz]

I'm really loving this video! The thought of another trio of cards I can paint easily in under an hour sounds fun as an overburdened student haha.

[@Nianiani]

Lool! Yeaa.. If thats the case.. I totally understand! XD

[@FORADESALA]

It's so relaxing. One thought crossed my mind while I was watching: where are my watercolor papers???? I want painting right now!!!!

[@Nianiani]

Oh noo! Hope you found them!

Your art works give me so much joy and confidence to try watercolor painting! They are easy to follow and so beautiful to me.

[@valerieb8006]

Great idea for a stress free time of doing art. Really like the combination of watercolor and doodling! I can see how it can get one familiar with their watercolors and grow from there. This gives me a lot of inspiration! Thanks so much for this video!

[@Nianiani]

Yea they're just easy to follow along watercolor doodles for everyone. I'm happy you understand where I'm coming from :)))

[@doreenharkeharke2856]

I love this variety, I’m a beginner, this gives me confidence that I may do Allright, maybe!!

[@Nianiani]

Aw I'm sure you will. As long as you're having fun it should b ok 😁😁😁 best of luck with your painting ❤

[@Dorafiori]

The trees look like they're straight out of a children's book 😄 Also love the sketchy style of the flowers. Need to try these doodles some day.

[@Nianiani]

Hahaha yea! You could technically make it with any pattern or shapes you want 😁

[@timh7246]

Appreciate the time you took to explain some basics. At this point, I've watched tons of w/c KZbin posts & bought lots of supplies, but haven't painted my first thing -- your approach encourages me to finally start, knowing I CAN make something attractive right away, and I WILL get better with some experience. THANKS !! ;-)

[@Nianiani]

You can do it! :D:D:D

[@lisafries1715]

Thank you so much for your video. Your artwork is quite lovely.

[@teresazade7496]

So calming and beautiful. Thank you.

[@andreagooglification]

I am a beginner as well and you have inspired me so much. Your art is lovely...and I am so proud that I have learned about you! I just found my liking toward doodling and was surprised how much I’m really seeing the beauty it reveals. Just so pleasant!!! Thank you!!!

[@Nianiani]

Thats so awesome to hear! Doodling is awesome esp during an art block. Just blotching paint is satisfying enough 😁😁😁 I'm so glad you've been enjoying the vids! ❤

[@moonliight7776]

Look😊

[@lizreynolds4554]

I love doodling. I used to paint all the time, but I have been distracted. It is great to watch you create. You inspire me. Hopefully, I will be able to get more done, soon. Thank you. Liz 👩‍🎨🍀🧠🇺🇸🦓🥄

[@Nianiani]

These paintings are a good way to start painting again. They're so easy and fun to paint 😊 hope you enjoy painting them! Have fun ❤

[@shraddhak3788]

It was really very simple and beautiful 😍, I loved it very much. KEEP GROWING LIKE THIS WITH MORE AND MORE SUCCESS 🙌.

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

These will definitely all find their way into my own journals. Thank you for keeping it simple so that someone like me, who loves to do art but is not traditionally "skilled", can succeed. Liked

[@Nianiani]

Happy to hear that! Best of luck with all the doodles :DDD Happy painting!

[@izabelagaezowska4654]

So nice and easy!! Please, more watercolor doodling. :-)

[@Nianiani]

^_^ glad you enjoyed it. I have a playlist of mini watercolour doodles that I try to keep updated if you're interested.

[@Nianiani]

@Mireille Soto Yea.. art blocks are not fun :/ Feel free to paint along to the doodle videos whenever you're stuck for ideas :)) Happy painting!

[@beafitze5909]

Very useful lesson and beautiful music!

[@Nianiani]

Thank you! ^_^

[@kathykaura7219]

I'm new at painting. I'm playing with acrylics and finding that adding water to them can be fun, which is why I'm watching watercolor videos. I love this style of painting; it's like 1960's illustration. Thank you for the video. I'm learning so much.

[@Nianiani]

Thats great to hear! Being very creative by watering down acrylics! ^__^

[@ndlz1]

Very pretty doodles, relaxing music, and good instruction!

What is the first blue color you used? It's pretty.

[@debbr2304]

TYX💜, I've been wanting to pick up my paints. Your doodles are now on my list. I'm going to take a step up from the color washes in my planner.

[@Nianiani]

[@vamonarch4740]

Love this! I think I’ll try these for making custom postcards or greeting cards. Thanks! P.S. Your voice is lovely :)

[@Nianiani]

Happy you enjoyed it! Hope you have a great time painting them ^_^

[@dianes1717]

After nearly 60 years of no watercolor painting (even though I took watercolor classes and painted obsessively as a teenager) I decided to try again. Painting with watercolor like "coming home". The muscle memory is gone, there is so much practicing that needs to be done and there is so much I've forgotten. Which brings me to the reason I'm posting this comment. I cannot understand a word you are saying. I know the current trend is to talk fast, but anyone with hearing problems, or isn't around young people a lot probably is missing more than half of what you say. Judging from the visual part of the video, you have a lot of information and observations that I am clearly missing and want to understand. Please try to talk a little slower and I will use the repeat button. Thank you.

[@Nianiani]

Oh that's very interesting. No one ever told me I talk fast before :/ In fact I thought that I talk slow compared to other ppl just coz I'm not a good talker xD Sorry about that. I'll try to slow it down, but I usually try to talk according to the timing of the video during a certain step. Maybe it might have something to do with my accent too since all over the place, american/australian/maybe a bit of indonesian without noticing haha I'll see where I can meet in the middle or if others mention the same thing, because I do have to cater to the majority of my audience and find a good balance. Maybe you can also turn the subtitle (CC) from youtube on to help? I know it's not the best and not 100% correct, but it'll probably be better thn trying to figure out what I say, if I babble too much. I really appreciate you, taking the time to type the long comment to let me know ^_^ I'm always open to suggestions and good constructive criticism. Hope you get into painting again soon :)

[@frana6121]

if you go to the settings you can slow down or speed up the video/sound...

[@lauratwining3143]

I wish I knew what pen you were using. I can see “waterproof light”...love your commentary as you’re painting and doodling.

[@Nianiani]

It's snowman brand. And it is waterproof, made in Japan and it's really common to use here in Indonesia

[@WormHome]

I got some cotman watercolors!! Thanks for inspiring me to do watercolor, I’m totally trying these things!!! :D

[@Nianiani]

Yay! Have fun with ur new set! They're a joy to paint with 😊

[@TanteDorle]

love the trees 💗 & the flowers 💗 & the trees ;) What is the black pen you used? Is it waterproof? Thank you so much for showing dear 💗

[@Nianiani]

It's an art liner. Here in Indonesia, it's a well known brand called snowman, and it's waterproof, since we're working with watercolours :)

[@TanteDorle]

@@Nianiani ha, wouldn't have suspect snowmen in Indonesia :D Thank you for letting me know. Since I started with watercolour I'm looking around local for waterproof pens & ink without succes so far. Ordering online isn't really a thing because the prices for shipping are often pretty barefaced. But I will look out for a snowman now :)

[@Nianiani]

@@TanteDorle LOL xD yea it's such a common brand here. And that's been the one that I use all the time.. so I'm not too sure about other brands.

[@gioere-er8517]

I'm a big fan of your works. 😩😩

[@bonniebutts1505]

[@simplypatti6705]

This is my first watercolor video; I’m wanting to try watercolors. What paints would you suggest for a first-timer? Should I just buy cheap kids’ paint to start? Will it be easier to learn with better paints?

[@Nianiani]

Hi! This really depends on your budget. In terms of paint you can get cotman or van gogh which is a student grade if you have a good budget or use pentel if u have a smaller budget, but if you don't want to spend too much, hobby watercolours are also fine. It really doesn't make too big of a difference if you're really new. I think the paper is more important than the paint. Make sure you use watercolour paper instead of just thick print paper or something like that. I think 200-300gsm watercolour paper would be good, I use canson a lot and it's not too pricey :) and for the brush I'd recommend for you to use synthetic brush it's much easier to control and it's really cheap, so if you damage the hair, you can replace it easily. Hope this helps :)))

[@271E]

I love this! I don't have any hobbies and don't feel like I am a creative person at all. I can't draw and actually never do. But I've watched a few watercolor videos and feel like this is so fun, but I'm scared to try because of this and I am a perfectionist.

[@bluerain369]

You can do it..

[@Nianiani]

Im sorry, I've somehow missed your comment. Go ahead and give it a go. Try to do simple stuff first so even if its nt as perfect as you'd like it to be, you'd only have spent a short amount of time on it. And either way it'll still be gratifying because you've tried and went over your hurdle of being scared to try 😊 wish you the best of luck ❤

Thank you for your encouraging words. I've bought a small watercolor set and the supplies, next step is to actually paint!

Hi Nia, thank you for inspiration and simplification, I have lots of fun with your videos. A question, at the beginning of this video, you mention your color choice - sap green and - braiding hue? I am not sure about the latter, have I got it right, and what is it?

[@Nianiani]

Ouuhh xD I'm out at the moment. Not too sure what that means either, but I'll try to rewatch it 😂

[@Nianiani]

Might be viridian hue? Which is a rich and vibrant dark green colour

@@Nianiani Thank you. I could tell it was something unique-- then saw the price, whoa! It looked like such a finer surface... with low topography(?!). I'm a total beginner, but immediately I wanted to paint on it! Would like to find a more affordable alternative. If you have time, could you briefly describe here (or in another vid) what you think about that paper and how watercolors behave on it? Many thanks!

Do you have any ideas on what you could do with the pieces of art you do on loose paper like the ones you use in the video (what I mean is paper that’s not attached to your sketchbook)

[@Nianiani]

well you could sell them, give them out or display them? But that's why I personally prefer painting on sketchbooks to keep everything in one place.. one down side is that you don't have the ability to change the paper size that's all...

All 3 a beautiful! The 3rd is my favorite. The process was abstract and all over the place with no guidance, yet it was so calming to watch. I muted the music and it had the same effect.
