Hello! I'm Anthony. An independent artist and illustrator based near Paris in France. Watercolor painting was my first passion. So a few years ago I took out my old paints, and rekindled my love for watercolors. I decided to start sharing some of my watercolor experiences in the form of my blog, “WatercolorAffair.com” (and now through my KZbin channel). My objective was to start sharing some of my hard won knowledge in the hope that it will help and inspire others to paint with watercolors! Thank you for following !

your voice is like a guided meditation I listen to when I cannot sleep, so calming, but I'm going to have to revisit this in the daytime, you have made me so very sleepy.

[@pascalebeguin-lawler4829]

Beautiful! You are very precise in your tutorial. Thank you for sharing it. ❤ I will give it a try. I'm wondering what kind of background would be suitable for this little bird.

[@WatercolorAffair]

Hi Pascale - the original reference photo had a blue sky background - it made a nice complementary color to show off the robins red breast 🙂

[@pascalebeguin-lawler4829]

@WatercolorAffair oh thank you. It makes sense.

[@mauriciosik]

Hi there. I cant seem to find your sketch and reference photo under description. Only supplies, music, etc. Can you help?

[@tyrawu7266]

I am looking for the sketch and also can't find it. :(

[@mariavicentaSegarra]

Nice class , thank You very much, but I would rather listen to the English language version. It is a pity that the Spanish translator is terrible
