3 Watercolor Techniques Every Beginner Must Learn!

#watercolortutorial #annabucciarelli
Welcome to another intricate watercolor composition where we can practice 3 essential watercolor techniques:
🍋 1) Glazing {slow and gradual layers - the best way to build depth and volume while preserving luminosity with watercolor};
🍋 2) Blooming {quick, easy and very beginner-friendly way to watercolor - suitable for anything and everything, especially the background elements}, and
🍋 3) Wet-on-dry {this never gets old and is always helpful if you like additional realistic texture and extra impactful shadows}

This is beautiful! I would not add a bee or butterfly. It would be too much. Right now it’s perfect.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you 💛🍋 I’ll leave it as is 😊

[@aubreysun3377]

Agree, keep the bird as the focus!

[@LauraCourtneyette]

The turquoise is exactly what the painting needed. Like everyone else has said it’s stunning! No need for a bee or butterfly 👍🏼

[@kristilyons8735]

Along with all the folks who said this already, your painting is just gorgeous, and inspiring. But I'd also like to add that your voice is very soothing, and you speak so clearly, with no ums nor errrs. A very refreshing change. I will be checking out more of your videos.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you so much! 💗 I spend more time writing and editing than painting for this channel and my classes and your feedback means a great deal 😊✨

[@jcepri]

Without a doubt, this is one of the most beautful watercolor paintings I have ever seen. You changed my mind. I have never really liked watercolor until I saw your work. I bought oils and I quickly realized they aren't for me.. I am going to try watercolor now. I have never liked that translucent wishy-washy look, but now I can see how those blooms can work in your factor. Thank you!

[@simonzhang3D]

because when we first used water colors we were dumb ass kids hahaha. I feel you. Lately i was playing with the thought of buying water colors

[@StudioXue]

This is stunning! The colors are so pretty together and the overall composition is delightful as is.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you 😊💗

[@jojo_watercolors]

I love it so much!!! Yellow/green vs perylene violet is such an interesting contrast. And turquoise gave an amazing wow factor. Great painting Anna!!!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you Jo! And also for helping me get through my little “meltdown” last week 😂 I quietly re-released the 1st chapter this morning here on KZbin and will keep it up for a few weeks - the algorithm is ignoring it completely so that’s all good 😊💗💗💗

[@rajajay007]

my son is a fan of your painting and we both regularly learn from this ....thanx for such beautiful sharing

[@melindarincon7571]

Absolutely beautiful!!! this painting needs nothing more. It's perfect as it is. The colors are wonderful.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you Melinda 💗😊

[@sandrahardisty341]

I love this painting as is. Bird is the focal point and there is plenty of textures and details to look at as it stands.

[@trinawilliams1395]

I love this just as it is. I agree that an insect might detract from the beauty of the bird, lemons and gorgeous foliage. BTW, I really really like the addition of the turquoise in the greenery. There is always a lovely, unexpected surprise in your color choices!! I will be watching the full length tutorial on Patreon. Blessings sweet lady!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you so much - especially letting me know how you felt about the turquoise . Sometimes I add new colors last minute and I am not sure but here it seems to have worked 💗😊

[@marielucier7982]

The painting is beautiful as you have it. I love the use of colors. No bugs. It is best as it is now.

[@amandatempleman1160]

This is seriously SO beautiful! What a talent.. my favorite watercolor tutorial to date. 🥰🥰

[@ellielane730]

Wow this was so insightful, I was always so impatient with watercolour in the past but now I'd love to give these techniques a go. This is a wonderful and inspiring video thank you 😊

[@AmericanPatriot447]

This is very, very beautiful. I wouldn’t change a thing or add anything else. It might take away from the bird and the way she shines its magnificent..

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you so much 😊

[@WorldWideWebObserver]

Gorgeous painting! Thanks for sharing your techniques.

[@NayadaraT]

So beautiful and insightful ! Thank you so much!

[@romypie3725]

Thanks a lot for the demonstration on your technique, it’s really helpful. Your painting is just gorgeous!❤

[@tabbi888]

Personally I think a bee would be perfect to balance the empty white space above the beak. Also I think the yellow of the bee would compliment the existing colour palette and unlike a butterfly which I think would take the focus away as it would be too large. The bee would be petite enough to serve the purpose without being too distracting. Whatever you do it's always beautiful anyway, I absolutely love your style and use of colour, it's magnificent. Thank you for sharing your stunning work with us ❤️ 😊.

[@hawkeye9382]

I love the added turquoise! It's gorgeous!! Thank you for your wisdom!!!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you!!! 😊 turquoise was a last minute decision (and I sometimes regret those because go too wild with too many hues hehe ) but this time it seems to have made everything better - I think it would be too boring without it 🍋💙 have a wonderful day and thank you for your support!

[@joeyjoe7930]

This is awesome and beautiful! I’m going to try these techniques in my next painting!

[@dneel468]

Love this painting Anna it’s beautiful. Just this morning I started a lesson of yours on Skillshare, the leaves using negative painting technique. I’m really enjoying it you’re such a good teacher. I would love to follow you in painting a bee but I feel it might steal the show of your beautiful bird. Thank you for the video, always inspiring.

[@laudicerocha]

Que trabalho maravilhoso ! Parabéns

[@santanainspirartes]

What a stunning piece

[@christicovington]

[@sayusayme7729]

Beautiful work, thank you. Can’t wait to take some courses to learn as I’m self taught. Grateful for these amazing opportunities. Thank you

[@m.s.252]

I just bought some cold pressed paper with pretty heavy texture. I might try this tutorial on it. You just made me itch to paint ❤❤❤ ps I really appreciate that you brought back the 1 hr long version on youtube.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you 💗 yes! I made a mistake initially by mixing up the files for upload 🫣 but brought it back since so many people started watching before I realized an error - I will post about it tomorrow 😊 thank you for your support! Ps: heavy cold pressed is my jam 👌🥰 enjoy!

[@brendajuarez6811]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@SharonNolfi]

Yes, add an insect! You always combine elements in a beautiful way.

[@nicolem376]

Never have I seen a painting video that made me want to follow on patreon as fast as this one! When my budget allows I will keep you at the top of my list. Edited to add: I would love to see you paint a bee but I don’t think this painting needs it. ❤

[@michaelklein5242]

Absolutely! I'm about to look into Anna's Patron page myself!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you so much Nicole! 💗 I really appreciate your comment because I take my time with my videos and reinvest a large portion of whatever I make online into better gear and video editing classes for myself - my goal is to be able to provide the most fun, inspiring visually captivating and accessible art education 😊 reading your feedback really made my day! ☀️💛🍋

[@abnologanslogan7355]

[@connieebinger6343]

Anna, your work is absolutely stunning! I feel like I need a lot of work in order to even attempt following a tutorial. I’m not sure how to judge things or see if the composition makes sense or the values makes sense, so I’m pretty lost. But I absolutely adore your work. It is beautiful! if you add a bee or a butterfly, it’ll be that much more stunning.❤

[@JennaRaineyChannel]
