Beautiful work, Alina ❤

[@jaclee6]

Very practical tips! Thank you. Your plein air paintings in the sketchbook look beautiful!

You're amazingly talented. Once you get enough videos uploaded and more exposure over time this channel will explode. I'll be around to see it!

[@alinatulliart812]

Thanks so much, Stephanie! Yes I hope so haha

[@vani519]

Me too!!! I found this channel today and saw that there are not very many subscribers and I immediately thought: WOOOW I am one of the subscribers of the „very beginning“!!! Not doubting a BIT that this channel will be HUUUGE in a split-second!!! 👍🏻

[@LostinBoston_92]

I agree. I just found this channel. I very much like your art. Please don't be discouraged if it takes some time to build an audience. I'm looking forward to more videos.

[@alinatulliart812]

Thank you so much! And I actually don’t mind having a smaller audience for now. It gives me some freedom to make mistakes and figure out what I’m doing =D

[@susie1216]

Very helpful advice! I have a tendency to over pack, so thank you for showing me the calmness of just taking essentials.

[@alinatulliart812]

Same! Just thinking about packing makes me not want to go plein-airing sometimes so even a sketchbook and a pencil is enough sometimes:)

[@sadiatanjil5643]

Love all of your painting they are really well done❤❤

In this video I share some plein-air tips but do not follow most of them myself 🙈 They certainly make your plein-air experience more enjoyable. Let me know in the comments, what was your funniest plein-air story⬇️

[@josefvalenta415]

Thanks for interesting video! One more tip: if you are choosing company for plein air and your choices are golden retiever or toddler, choose the one who mastered command "stay" better. Specially for painting pond or creek :-).

[@alinatulliart812]

Hahaha I love that! I can see how that's a very important command to master near the water 😄

[@vani519]

[@sarabrankaer7796]

[@pierrecuenca6378]

Je viens de vous découvrir et j en suis ravi. Je pratique l aquarelle depuis 3 ans j ai dépassé le stade des tutoriels mais je ne parviens pas à faire des tableaux originaux sur le vif. Vos conseils sont très utiles et vos aquarelles très belles. Merci beaucoup de 🏡🇫🇷

[@alinatulliart812]

Merci beaucoup! Je suis content que vous ayez trouvé mes conseils utiles. Je pense que la meilleure pratique pour vous aider à créer des tableaux originales sur le vif est de faire des croquis de composition et tonaux. Bonne chance!

Great video, thanks for sharing your tips, really helpful and inspiring 🙏😊

[@alinatulliart812]

You're very welcome! ☺️

[@jillm6468]

Just found your channel, really enjoyed these tips. Your painting turned out beautiful 😍 you deserve more subscribers. I'm painting about 6 months and I think I really need to now focus on value more, I really like your idea to value sketch prior to painting

[@alinatulliart812]

Thanks very much! And yes, value sketches are really helpful☺️

[@silviameazzini4955]

Molto brava!!!🤩🤯

[@alinatulliart812]

Grazie mille!

[@siggeludvigsen6387]

Thank you for the tips in this video😊 I was wondering, since you mainly do washes, what do you do while waiting for the layer to dry? I often find myself too impatient to wait for it to dry completely and then end up making unintentional cauliflowers and the like.

[@alinatulliart812]

I try to make it dry faster by waving the paper in the air 😅 Outside it usually dries pretty quickly.

[@mn5900]

Amazing channel

[@cranberrycanvas]

Nah I would have painted that first one especially with watercolor I literally might just use this video as reference and paint it myself lol. Great video thanks for posting

[@vani519]

I try my best since I started painting in 2017. I am not good at it, but I enjoy it a lot. Just that I am not producing some paintings that someone would say „oh, that looks good“ is making it real hard to go outside and paint. I know that I am only getting better when trying, but it is not too motivating to see people look at my stuff and laugh while passing by. Or comments like „I was able to paint better when I was 4 years old“...are unfortunately bringing me down. Although there are people who say nice things...I can’t forget the others... Does anyone have any suggestions for not loosing the motivation then?

[@alinatulliart812]

Oh first of all, good on you for keep trying! I have never heard such mean comments in my address on pleinair, so I can’t imagine what that feels like 😔 Sorry that you experienced that! I totally see how that would upset you. Just know that those people are probably in a really dark and unhappy place themselves, if they decide to say those mean things just to upset someone else. I would suggest when you go on plain air, try to position yourself so that no one else can actually see what you’re painting, or at least very few people can. Pick a place that’s not too busy. With watercolour it’s very hard to achieve a good painting on pleinair, even if you’re experienced. Most importantly, you enjoy the process, so that’s a win!

[@vani519]

Thank you 😊 I‘ll just keep on trying. Next time when I hear those things, I‘ll hand them supplies and say: „Ok. If you can do better than I, would you show me how I can get better?“ I am doubting that anyone will do so. But I always like to learn.

[@alinatulliart812]

@@vani519 haha, that's true! That's a good tactic to use 😄

[@itssoxdelicious]

Hi Alina ! Thank you for the video. Do you have the full demo ?

[@alinatulliart812]

Hi Emily. You're welcome. I didn't record a full demo of this one. I might try to do that another time ☺️

[@itssoxdelicious]

@@alinatulliart812 It would be awesome. This one looks great ☺️

[@rakisk8r]

Really enjoyed your video, thank you! What is the brand of your palette, please! Many thanks!

[@alinatulliart812]

You're welcome! My palette is from AliExpress, I'm not sure what the brand is.
