A Mountain Scene in Watercolour

[@christinemareeyoung]

Those mountains are the epitome of "negative space". Spatial, glacial, majestic, and magical. The treat for the viewer is how the scene slowly comes into focus. That is where the magic is!

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for your beautiful feedback Christine! I miss snow-capped mountains... They are my happy place. But I am so lucky to be able to recreate them in watercolour.

[@suresh.karthikeyan]

Love the confidence with which you paint. That together with a simple palette, makes your painting wonderful !

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for your kind words. I love watercolours - you can express so much by only using a couple of colours and washes

[@nancylennon2117]

It's so relaxing to watch you paint and bring the scene to life. I love the sense of Harmony in your work. Beautiful!

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you so much Nancy. Your comment means a lot as harmony is what I am trying to achieve in every painting!

Fantastic! My favorite type of scene. I miss the majesty of mountains.

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you so much Caryn. I miss the mountains too - no snow-capped mountain in sight where I live - thank goodness for the memories and the photos from our travels.

Beautiful colours. I loved watching it, loved the trick with the splashes at the end. thank you for sharing

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you so much Nina, those little splashes add that little extra bit of texture in watercolours, I love using them as a finishing touch.

[@tillysprenger6318]

❤ Au moins ce sont de vraies aquarelles....beaucoup d'eau et peu de couleurs...c'est tres beau..., pas saturé. Tres délicat ❤

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I do find that less is more with watercolours

[@jaysea5873]

Stunning! I felt like I should put on a winter coat to look at this painting. Great tip about using cotton swabs to lift.

[@AnastasiaMily]

Oh thank you for such great feedback - I am happy I have managed to capture that cold and wintry mountain feeling. Cotton swabs are very useful for lifting watercolour paint and fixing small mistakes too.

[@lorrainemanning3809]

Superb! Looks so dramatic, stunning piece

[@Britgirl58]

Once again, a beautiful painting. Your use of white space is marvellous! May I ask, is that something that you have learned, or did you find you naturally knew where to leave the white areas? I love the texture you accomplished in the front of the picture, and, without any piddling around, you have made a detailed painting that puts me in that mountain clearing and listening to the birds calling each other. Thank you.

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you so much. Your question about the use of white space made me think - I feel that at this stage of my watercolour journey I know intuitively what parts of the paper to leave untouched but this came after practicing consistently... Things certainly become easier the more we paint :)

[@mjrtla]

This was fantastic! I just love your mix of the rich DS pigments! You really make the paints come alive! Could you add what colors you used?

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you Tami. I can't remember the exact list of pigments, but here are a few I used from memory: Sodalite Genuine, Lunar Blue, French Ultramarine, Buff Titanium, Aussie Red Gold, Burnt Umber

[@mjrtla]

@@AnastasiaMily Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my message, I really appreciate it. I absolutely love your videos on KZbin!

[@ranjanachand9306]

Beautiful

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you so much!

[@Deankut]

May I ask which colors you used?

[@AnastasiaMily]

I can’t remember all of them but I can name a few: Sodalite Genuine, French Ultramarine, Burnt Umber, Buff Titanium, probably some Lunar Blue too

[@Deankut]

@@AnastasiaMily I guess3d all but the Buff Titanium. Thank you for taking the time. It's much appreciated! ❤️

Самое главное вовремя остановиться. Небо до 5:20 было лучше, на мой взгляд. Лаконичное суровое небо в буран. А уж когда вы на него набрызгали, -совсем стало не интересно. А в остальном отличная работа!

[@AnastasiaMily]

Dear Viktor, when I share my painting demonstrations here, I share my process without expecting every viewer to like it - that is the beauty of art and every artists’ unique vision. Thanks for watching!!

[@janiceandjim4418]

I am in a watercolor class at our library. We take turns teaching if our teacher can’t come. May I use a picture of this project as a sample for our class to try to paint? I will use your name. Thank you

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for asking - please feel free to use it and mention my name and my channel. Have fun!!
