[@karenrees2039]

There is something quite magical about lighthouses. I love visiting them. Your painting is absolutely stunning Anastasia, you have captured the magic and beauty so well. Thank you for sharing your inspiring paintings. ❤

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for watching this one, and I am glad you enjoyed it 😊 I agree, visiting lighthouses always creates so many wonderful memories, and they never fail to inspire me to photograph, draw, and paint them!

[@richardsemione7012]

I love the textures and the colors of the foreground, the greens around the lighthouse and the sky colors and effects. The overall layout of the painting is so pleasing and well balanced, too. Wonderful.

We just visited Cape Disappointment in Washington State. I finally understand the deal with painters and lighthouses. Just gorgeous, Anastasia. I could feel the wind, the sun, the negative ions.

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you so much! Lighthouses never fail to inspire - there is a certain kind of magic about them. And the scenery is always breathtaking! I looked up Cape Disappointment - what a stunning place. I hope I can visit it one day too. I realised we drove past the area many years ago when we were road tripping along Highway 101, but there was so much to see and so little time...

I ❤️ the rock painting!! Idk what happened. I came back with pen and paper to take notes 😢 I truly appreciate you sharing your talents. Can you repost it? Thanks!!! 😘

[@AnastasiaMily]

I posted a rock stack painting reel on Instagram the other day, is that the one you mean? I am going to post it here tonight too as a short.

[@along9971]

Very good, great color choices, but I'd have quit at about 15 min in and come back to it in a day or so

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for watching and for your kind words!

[@gabriellataragni6086]

Ammiro molto le sue opere e cerco di riprodurre. Grazie

[@nigeloram3524]

So clever…don’t know how you do it😃

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you so much! It has taken a lot of practice 😊

[@kaktus0486]

Lovely! What kind of salt do you use? I always struggle with it.

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you so much! It was table salt, the usual supermarket kind… I haven’t had much experience with different types of salt, but I think I prefer the finely ground table salt to crystals…

[@Sglinert]

Wait! Where are the seagulls?

[@AnastasiaMily]

I totally forgot about the seagulls 😁 Only realised it days later haha

[@Юань...777]

Всё красиво! Но огорчило что не видно какую краску Вы берете по цвету. Новечку сложно смешивать краски не видя какой цвет ...😢🍀🍀🍀🧖 Жаль что это видео понятно только опытным...

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you. I do mention the name of the colour as I introduce it to the scene as I paint, in the written notes displayed on my videos. If I don't mention it, it usually means it is the same colour or mix I have already used in this painting. I also list every colour I have used in the description of each of my videos. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching!
