Watercolor Compositions 🌹 Tips & Techniques for Beginners

[@rainbowfox1934]

I am a student on Patreon. My challenge to myself is to compose a new composition for each painting of your's that I am following. This helps me meet my challenge. Thanks.

[@AlessiaDonatocoaching]

Since finding your channel i am obsessed. I will become a patron soon ❤

You are the best teacher by far on KZbin - love that you go further and explain why stuff works. So interesting. I really feel like you are giving us a lecture that i missed out in art college. Thank you.

[@Rachel-art-and-design]

It is nice to see design principles applied in real time. I have two degrees, including a MFA, and the design principles are universal to all art and design modalities. Your presentation for watercolor is wonderful. Thanks so much. I love your work.

[@DanielleFung]

everything you shared is just wonderful. best teacher ever. im so grateful to you.

[@kathymoffat761]

A beautiful composition with lovely colours. I love the way you have partnered the doves with the Christmas Cactus. I would not have thought to do that but it makes for a beautiful harmonious composition. We had those cacti on my dining room windowsill as a child, they bore fruit. Rather like strawberry flavoured fruit. Thank you for the memories. X

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you Kathy 🩷 I had this plant too - on my grandmothers bedroom 😊😊😊

[@kathimanville4203]

Thank you so much for sharing. As a self-taught artist, it is always extremely beneficial to learn from my peers. Thank you for your knowledge! These are great tips.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you Kathi! 😊💗

[@borborosap1526]

Best video I ever watched about watercolors ! Bravo +++

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you sooo much 😊❤️

[@bethwood4265]

What a lovely video! Beautiful compositions and very nice explanations of your whole process. Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@tabbi888]

This easy one of the most useful tutorials I've seen in a long time. For me I'm quite advanced technically but there was always something not quite perfect about my work that always frustrated me. Now I can see it is the composition that was off, and your tips to bring it together are wonderful, I especially like the Chinese principal you described. Absolutely wonderful tutorial, for the first time I actually think I can now fix what I was unhappy with which had almost made me give up at one point. Thank you for finally giving me the solution to the last piece of the puzzle, I'm so grateful. Thanks again for reigniting the spark, I'd once lost, your such an inspiration. ❤😊

[@renee1292]

This is a fabulous instructional video. I knew some basic composition concepts but you taught me so much more and through your easy to follow, clear explanation. I have always loved your compositions and now I know how you create them. Thank you so much for generosity in teaching and sharing your wealth of knowledge. I think you would be more than capable of writing a book on your processes for creating watercolor art. :)

[@mariannekeller7504]

Very interesting!! I especially loved the host and guest technique. Thank you for sharing!!

[@judyptak7118]

Gorgerous painting.

[@judithwilliams5185]

I have gotten more out of this than any of your other videos. I recently joined your Patreon group and will look there for more instructions on composition and drawing. I’d like more on how to get the drawing correct and onto the paper.

[@elizabethexley5190]

This is one of the most useful tutorials I have seen. Thank you!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you Elizabeth 💗💗💗

[@jillpratt2447]

What an EXCELLENT video! Thank you, Anna!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

😊🩵🩵🩵

[@Ktpstudio]

Want to pop in and say thank you for such a thorough and well thought out video. It’s evident you put a lot of time and effort into creating it and I honestly need to watch it a few more times to fully grasp all that you have put into it. Thank you again ❤

[@donceltic4631]

For me this video covers the hardest part of creating art. Great tips!

[@Strahbaerie]

Excellent instruction. Thank you. I've learned much in a short amount of time.

[@leneprior9392]

Fabulous and appreciate your instructions are wonderful. Thank you

[@seemanath859]

I have been following your KZbin videos for the last few months. Thank You so much for sharing every tips & techniques that you have distilled through years of experiences. Also, your voice is very soothing. The composition, color combination, choice of music -- the whole thing gives a great deal of calmness ❤

[@sudarshanchopra7900]

Thanks u,teaching so nicely watercolour painting,

[@chatita9527]

I ❤ your paintings! So nice. Thank you from Berlin Germany 🤗

[@judymills873]

You’re one of my favourite artists

[@SharonNolfi]

Anna, thank you for your excellent explanation and demo! It's very helpful to see how you developed a painting by addressing each of the compositional elements. ❤

[@nancykoziara-clark5995]

Thanks so much. I will use your ideas in my future paintings.

[@lorriepaints1490]

Thanks so much for sharing ….this was wonderful to watch

[@HelenJohnson-g7v]

Wow! You are an incredible artist and teacher. Thank you so much for these videos!!

[@barbarachristensen9034]

Love your style of sharing, it is as if you are reading your subscribers minds. I Esp. loved your explanation of the differences in "paper", so very important to understand the differences and you elegantly explained them in details so everyone could clearly understand. Thank you for your sharing in your amazing style and knowledge, very much appreciated.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you so much for your feedback Barbara! I try to read the comments thoroughly here and on my PATREON so I can better understand the questions and areas of struggle / concerns that my students may have… I am lucky to have access to lots of “research” in that sense 😊 one idea I have for an upcoming video is to paint the same thing on cotton and regular paper side by side - to really illustrate the differences and hopefully save others a bit of time in figuring this out… have a wonderful day! 💕

[@elkepaull-keller9039]

Once again a informative useful and poignant tutorial. Thank you. Just where I'm up to in my process of creating.

[@claritzairosario68]

What an interesting technique is the Gongbi !!! I love this technique or composition, because I have a blurry memory of one of this painting around me when I was a child. It gave me nostalgic to see some of them, very beautiful painting! I love it! And I love all your composition too, very unique!!!❤❤❤❤❤ I'm saved this video for reference, thanks ❤😊

[@sonjaduplessis7315]

I thank you so very much for this tutorial. I learn so much from you!❤️

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

😊💗

[@luizaugusto143]

Amazing ! Fabulous !

[@BuddyLuv]

The tips on colour harmony are so eye-opening for me. This is what I have been trying to figure out about my work. So helpful!!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

I am so glad you found this useful ✨💕

[@ladym6738]

Wow, listen to this a couple of times. Great information. Blessings.❤

[@lindas.martin2806]

Excellent Instruction, clear points, great example, you inspire me. Best wishes for a fulfilling 2023!!

[@marybarton5651]

Thank you. I am just beginning to learn watercolor painting, watching lots of tutorials and learning techniques and practicing, with lots of trials and errors. Loved this tutorial and the composition is beautiful

[@skerrie1]

I love the way you explained the color recycling and colors used in composition. You explain in such a way that it is easy for me to understand, and I have been making the beginner mistakes as you have mentioned, lol! I will pay much more attention to my composition colors from now on. Thank you so much for your wonderful and easy to understand tutorials.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you so much Merrie! So glad to hear this was helpful :) Have a beautiful day!

[@jpan7071]

First of all, you look and sound good. Always positive. Your artwork always takes my breath away. And a wonderful teacher you are.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you 🙏 I am still very very uncomfortable recording my face (vs just painting hands) but the new lense makes it a bit more “tolerable” and even fun sometimes to edit - all thanks to PATREON supporters 💗) really appreciate you! 😊

[@AnnieMcGuire-ed7lw]

🤗Sending you mega grandma hugs, Anna. The heart, X, and V composition suggestions are exactly what I needed. I sort of had it, but "sort of" really doesn't work. Yeah, no, not really.😏 Love you, girl❤

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you!! 😊 hope this gave you some new ideas to try 🌷

[@grahamekellermeier8280]

Beautiful painting great artist.

[@angeladingwall5680]

Absolutely beautiful x

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you!

[@sharonsunshine2532]

Very helpful. 👍

[@gillianbc]

I love the Christmas Cactus and Easter Cactuses. That's what we call them in the UK - I hadn't heard of Holiday Cactus before. The colours of both are such a bright coral and rarely chosen as an art subject.

[@TaniaOrlovaArt]

It is beautiful!

[@claudiahowell9508]

Excellent tutorial, thank you.

[@susyaguero8968]

Antes que nada un gracias infinito por tu aporte a otros artistas!!!! Muy instructivo y lleno de alegria segun los colores que usas!!! Felicitaciones! Me encanta! Salud amiga! Desde Argentina ❤❤❤❤

[@MandiChudzik]

I am really enjoying your tutorials. They are very informative, relatable, and easy to understand. Your voice and video quality is almost too calming haha. Very soothing and I find myself very relaxed while watching. thank you very much for making these available. I am learning a lot.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you Mandi! Watercolor is my therapy 😊💕 maybe this is why it’s coming out a bit too calming hehe have a wonderful day!

[@karenmcelroy9571]

Such wonderful info and great painting! Thx

[@lemonade708]

Hi Anna, that's a really concise and helpful video, thank you so much for sharing your tips, I will be mindful about incorporating them in my paintings.

[@SarahAndBoston]

Anna, thank you! This is the video I have been hoping for on your wonderful channel. I've learned so much from you, but this video is jam packed with useful info! Thanks so much.

[@rachellemontoya5504]

This is so affirming and inspiring. So glad I had a chance to watch this before painting today. Thank you!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Wonderful! Thank you Rachelle :) ❤

[@Belcih]

¡Gracias!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you 💕😊🌺

[@lynnmccoysloan7705]

Very helpful and so pleasing to the eye! I'm ready to start painting my second EVER watercolor composition. (Bird of paradise with a monarch butterfly and tropical leaves) I have it all laid out so I won't be incorporating all of your tips this go around, but the recycling of color and not painting objects in isolation, for sure!! Thank you! Your works are as beautiful as you, and your voice - so soothing! ❤

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Your composition sounds honestly AMAZING! Both of those subjects are gorgeous and full of intricate detail of love to explore. I don’t I’ve ever done a monarch 👌💗 thank you so much for your feedback Lynn - do you have an Instagram where I can see your work? 😊

[@LadyJP6969]

Great info, however I read that it’s important to have 1 focal point & to paint the surroundings around the focal point w/ less details, meaning paint everything else w/ a light wash (&/or) a non vibrant color for the eyes to rest. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@martinagulan4151]

I deeply admire japanese exquisite aesthetic and its composition. But thank you for information on gongbi, lovely videos 🌺

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

My pleasure 😊

[@kennyglesga]

Lovely

[@lesleyking2815]

[@interiorsefforts]

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thanks!

[@ashishsoni6962]

Very useful thanks for sharing...

[@zinniazen9923]

If only I could draw. I love watercolour paintings but I can’t draw or sketch. 😢❤ beautiful art work!

[@EllaEllaEh]

I have painted a couple of watercolor birds and flowers, because of your videos. They aren’t great, but I hope to get better.

[@justtubingby8342]

Anna's videos go well with popcorn, too 💟

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

I really really try to make these a little bit entertaining 😊 and it’s a reward to see positive comments after 💗 Side note: I am obsessed with those individual mini popcorn bags from Orville!!! After kids go to bed 🍿 + an HBO show on my phone is an introvert’s dream 🤣

[@justtubingby8342]

Those special moments ...

[@jh5174]

THANK YOU...!!!

[@DesignsofValue]

You use a single brush holder in your videos. This would be so convenient, whrere do you purchase it?

[@r.satheeshmechuce-pkt1564]

Awesome

[@hannahthufvesson]

Hi, Did I imagine that you just uploaded another video yesterday/the other day? 🙂 I was so excited, but couldn't finish watching at that time and went back to see it now but it's gone? Very confusing! Did something not work out with it? Or is it forever lost to us? 🙂

[@maibisnavarroart]

Very nice❤🌹❤

[@judymills873]

I want to join you on Patron, I finally got a job working offshore but I’m on call and when I go, I’m gone for nearly 4 weeks

[@aschetochter2588]

Hello Anna! I am Nicole from Germany and I love your paintings. I want to be a patreon, but I have no credit card and no paypal. I could pay via google-coupon or regular transfer maybe. Are there other possibilities for payment? It would be a great pleasure for me to support your content!♥️

[@nelireingold870]

[@pikkuli1]

[@LatoyaParker-f9y]

Mame you have said much about the composition of water paint. This video is more informative about art and history than paint composition. This video is super misleading ! I give it a strong thumbs down.
