The trouble with subscribing to a number of channels is that you don't necessarily get notifications from the ones you most like. I've been subscribed for ages l believe, but never have l seen any recommendations. I found you on Instagram, and l shan't look back. Thank you for your wild and vibrant art and inspiration. ❤

[@AnastasiaMily]

KZbin’s algorithm is a mystery… I know what you mean. If I want to see the videos from the channels I am subscribed to, I need to go to the actual list of them and see if there have been any new videos added. I am glad you are enjoying my videos - thank you for being here 😊 Happy painting!

I just discovered the difference between y43 and y42 and have determined to paint with granulated easy lifting paints.... love your work .

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you so much! I agree, easy lifting paints are so forgiving, and I love all the light effects you can achieve by lifting paint.

Hi! I was wondering have you studied nita engles seascapes techniques at all? Part of this video kind of reminded me of her when you were doing the wave. Love love love your channel and content! ❤ P.s. What could i possibly mix for a trans red oxide?

[@AnastasiaMily]

Yes! I bought Nita Engle's "How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself" book probably around fifteen years ago and it was a massive influence when I was learning to paint in a loose style. It is one of my favourite watercolour books ever. Nita's techniques are out of this world. I haven't picked up that book in a long while, so I thank you for reminding me about it - I am going to sit down and pore over all those pages to gather inspiration. And thank you for watching my videos too 😊 I am afraid I am not sure what a good substitute for Transparent Red Oxide could be... I often use Burnt Sienna if I need a warm reddish brown but it doesn't granulate, and TRO has such unique granulation, it kind of looks like rust. If you are after its granulation, and if you have Potter's Pink, I would probably mix Potter's Pink with Burnt Sienna, or Burnt Umber for a darker brown....

[@lindamiller1921]

I am very new to art and especially to watercolors. You used some brilliant colors that I have never heard of. Thank you so much for your generosity in creating the video, your explanations and your talent. I will save it and watch it several times in order to try to understand your techniques.

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for watching and for your kind words! How exciting that you have found watercolours - they are the most magical medium (in my opinion 😊). I remember when I returned to painting after a very, very long break I discovered all these new colours that I never knew existed so it was so exciting to paint again and play with all of those beautiful paints. Have fun!!

[@van_creative]

beauty! thanks for sharing. Loving your videos as always

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for watching and for your kind words!

[@Bearwithme560]

Can you suggest a substitute for the sodalite genuine, which I'm having trouble finding? Perhaps a blend of Paynes grey and indigo? As l said elsewhere, I'm delighted to have found my muse.

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you 😊 If you have Ultramarine Blue, you can add a touch of Burnt Umber to it to mix a colour that is really close to Sodalite, and this mix has a similar granulating effect too. Hope this helps!

[@Bearwithme560]

@@AnastasiaMily More than helpful. Thanks, Anastasia.

[@maryannconklin7231]

How could you create the solidare genuine color in the sky?

[@AnastasiaMily]

Try mixing French Ultramarine with a bit of Burnt Umber - I tried it a few times and the results look quite similar to Sodalite Genuine!

[@maryannconklin7231]

With the sky, after the initial wash did you add water just to the paint or did you spray?

[@AnastasiaMily]

I dropped some water into the paint with my large brush after the initial wash

Beautiful work! I have many paints but no granulating paints. If you were to buy only one or two…aiming to paint skies and seas, which would you recommend? If you could possibly respond today, I could buy them on sale! Tytyty Ellen

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you so much! I love Manganese Blue Hue by Daniel Smith for painting sunny skies, and it granulates. Sodalite Genuine is a beautiful dark and moody blue, and French Ultramarine is very vibrant and I use it a lot. These are warm blues so I use them for the stormy scenes like this one. Cerulean Blue and Cobalt Blue granulate too. Hope you find a granulating colour to play with - they are such fun!
