"Gaia" Watercolour Painting with Viviva Colorsheets // Let's talk about Fate

[@finnsinclair9486]

I love listening to you talk while you work on your pieces, it's so nice to get to know you as a person as a well as an artist and I look forward to these videos a lot

[@amandacota5223]

Ugh, I fucking love this. Your art never ceases to flood me with ideas.

[@aj1807]

I'm loving how you're playing around with the intros. I really like this one.

[@ninasue5948]

Inke Abernathy Me too 👍

[@FluegelchenNet]

Yeah, I agree - it's great!

[@elinamauno8833]

This painting process is just somehow so relaxing to watch. Just the relatively simple contrast and color scheme is just so satisfying to watch being laid down. Also it was nice to hear your thoughts about the process in your mind, I am always fascinated by how people come to do their pieces.

[@cutiepiedaina]

There's a quote I like, "ah! you are exactly what I have been looking for," and that has really helped me through those moments of 'ugh why is this happening to me' and if you reflect long enough, you'll always notice this is true! basically it just means you should try to find a way to look at every negative thing as a way for a positive thing to happen later on :)

[@hk284]

Daina Zhou so true

[@AudraAuclair]

I really like that!!! n_n

[@skystruck236]

YOU GOTTA HAVE SOME RAIN TO HAVE A RAINBOW!!! I love this painting, I’m glad this gave you some pep in your step again, all things happen for a reason and there’s something so great around the corner

[@cutiepiedaina]

when hands are too small, they look like a mistake. but when they're too big, it's an artistic choice ;)

[@skelarton6672]

I love all your comments xD

[@CrashCassie]

Thats her personal opinion, she didn't say you had to have the same as her :)

[@butteredbread5534]

have you seen y a o i h a n d s

[@lorelig]

Daina Zhou I've found the same! a little too small and they look wrong, but a little too big and they look fine! obviously to a certain point haha

[@gemusefreund2652]

Daina Zhou have you seen Otto Dix works his humans are very provocative and obscene but the are always beautiful

[@JediCoati]

Aside from adoring this piece, I also love the anecdote and revelation you shared of how less desirable events do pave the way for better things. It's something I've recognized several times in my own life, but it can be hard to always remember in a given moment. Putting out good vibes that happy things continue to come your way.

[@morgan9029]

You are my favorite artist in the world. I hope you keep at it forever. I'm 18 and when I discovered you awhile back you inspired me to become a freelance artist. I know praise from a random girl on the internet doesn't matter much, but thank you for existing. As your fellow Canadian artist, I wish you all good vibes girl!

[@NeverLoveNiila]

I watch this video everytime I am stuck with painting to get reinspired. You have no idea how important your art is to me.

[@sherrycous]

I like your chatty videos. I actually subscribed to you when one of your "let's chat" videos randomly showed up in my recommended list and I watched that 21 minutes video to the end and subscribed to your channel afterward. I like your art and how honest you are about things.

[@celice_]

These types of paintings/drawings make me feel like I would stare at this for 24 hours and find a new part I didn't notice before SO MUCH DETAIL

[@augustatkinsonillustration9866]

I'm in love with your "Gaia" Watercolor Painting with Viviva Colorsheets

[@debra77888]

This is beautiful. I love the flowers on her cape.

[@111nin]

this is definitely my favorite video from you so far :^) the colors are so beautiful and I love the tulips you've had around lately

[@ninasue5948]

manuka Right?!? These COLORs!!!!!! 😍😍😍

[@meemomori910]

I love your talks/chats on the things that happen with you and your life. Hearing stories on peoples' lives are just so interesting/moving to me and yours especially have drawn me to your videos more often than not haha. Many thanks to you for sharing!!

[@rachelstray2769]

you make watercolor painting look effortless but that's because you're soooo good at it

[@Ally-tf5ex]

your story reminded me of the Chinese idiom about the old man who lost his horse, and his horse brought back another horse. A blessing in disguise.

[@sleebs]

i love the color palette you chose for the painting. its so gorgeous

[@m00uni]

I feel like the hand actually add a wide feel of god like for me. With this it's so beautiful!

[@annalolaxillustration3630]

Really like your videos when you chat about just life and art and stuff while painting. And beautiful end result!

[@ThimblewolfArt]

this is lovely. I especially love the flowers on the shroud.

[@220dramaqueen]

Wow this is so striking. I'm sorry for your troubles but it's great you see the positive outcomes. Thank you for sharing your light!

[@meemomori910]

Uughhh this is so loveellyyyy, and that red and blue contrast is just UGGGHH. My eyes thank you!!

[@homotristesse]

Your art really makes me feel some kind of way. It's hard to describe but it's a good thing. This painting is absolutely amazing!

[@tiffany8014]

When hands are big they draw more attention to themselves, or the movement they make. I think in this piece they look really great!

[@SavaSosa]

You are honestly my favourite artist and favourite youtuber. Not only is your art so stunning and original and truly inspirational, but your voiceovers are so real and interesting. I can watch your videos all day and not get tired of them. So thanks girl 🙌

[@Dragonjoscc]

what a great painting! and I really liked all the things you were talking about. life's been pretty rough lately and I really needed to hear your reflections about how if the bad things don't happen then the good things wouldn't have happened either. so thank you for your wise words!

[@joannetiffany8047]

This is my favourite art work you've done so far!!! You made the colours work get together x

[@lizwilson7219]

I've literally had the worst day I needed this thank you so much audra :')

[@lizwilson7219]

[@gabieitavi672]

Hey, loved the video, your watercolour is so crisp! x btw, FUN FACT: Audra literally means 'Storm' in Lithuanian is actually somewhat popular name in Lithuania :)

[@LK-no8om]

I actually like larger hands in illustration. Hands are very expressive and making them slightly larger than expected can make them more readable to an audience.

[@katmanley6113]

this is absolutely beautiful! you are extremely talented! xxx

[@caramelshark]

THAT IS SUCH A COOL PALLET!

[@claire-nt5hp]

This is so gorgeous! I would totally love it if you continued the zodiac sign painting series, I seriously adored the few videos you did with that! Anyways, beautiful as always! Love you xoxo

[@MYMONKEYBERNARD]

we love hearing you blab :) and I enjoyed learning about the cool paint book.

[@AmberMarz]

ahhh this painting is so lovely. i really love how you talk about what you want to improve on and how you want to grow as an artist, it's not just inspiring but interesting to be able to see someone pick out what they aren't as good at and find a way to improve it.

[@miriamgillham6701]

This is a great review and an exciting painting. Thank you for sharing!

[@radioactive_angel]

It's so beautiful. Pure inspiration

[@brickelleful]

Your voice is so soothing and I love the choice of colors in this piece.

[@LironYan]

Beautiful painting and character. It's intriguing for me, because it's really a different style from what I'm used to doing (plus characters / people are my weakness). Thank you for sharing 😊

[@XionFan95]

Liron Yanconsky I keep seeing your comments on all the watercolour videos I've been watching recently! It's so cool to know that artist youtubers I admire also watch the videos of other artists I subscribe to, even though you do completely different stuff! *^* 💖

[@LironYan]

Kat G Haha I'm happy to hear 😊😁 Yes - I try to learn from as many other artists as possible (and comment as much as possible too!).

[@carla_the_strange7234]

Fantastic color palete! My fav part is the hood! Very well done! :)

[@victoriamasotti4223]

I have stuff to do, but your art is SCREAMING at me to watch your videos!! It is so beautiful and I love how fantasy based it seems your art is, especially your art style.😍😍😍

[@frimpungping]

i love the yellow, green and red skin tone. i too hv been experimenting diff colors for skin tone to make it interesting.

[@jeckadraws7914]

Beautiful 😍 you are so talented! Thank you for sharing with us!🥰

[@9sunrise1]

Beautiful painting! Love the way you painted the hands!

[@deevinay]

This is probably one of my favorite pieces of art EVER. I *love* the colors I love the way you drew everything! It's just sooo beautiful all together!

[@remilemonde]

Love this. Great use of color and I especially loved the floral detail.

[@anshu281]

This painting is so beautiful and amazing

[@Suzysuze15]

Absolutely gorgeous

[@encryptedritual]

She makes me think a lot of the empress archetype in a tarot deck. I think considering the length of her arms that her hands don't actually seem all that big to me. I would say it's more like you're viewing from a lower angle so they appear larger than parts of her upper body? I can totally agree about bad/stressful things happening for a reason. I've grown so much as a person over the past several years because of the various trials that life has thrown at me and it has made some truly beautiful things happen. Thanks for sharing about the colorsheets! I like the idea of something so flat - I've found that my watercolors sometimes separate from their pans the more that my bag gets jostled around. @_@ I think you gave just enough info without it seeming too advertise-y. I think at a certain point that people need to try a product for themselves because you could go on about it all you want but if their methods aren't the same they may have a different experience? (and haha - I thought I was commenting on something from like a week ago, not a year, whoop)

[@maudeb.3613]

The colors are beautiful Audra !

[@MoonacreHandmade]

i am getting the Vivia Color Sheets in the mail today... and ugh i'm so hype for them. Your work actually made me buy them lol.. i loved how vibrant they are

[@aliciavictoria6969]

Gorgeous painting! I love how you are able to get tiny details in with watercolor. I am still new to watercolor and trying to paint small details with the right proportion of water to paint. Love your paintings so much!

[@breewilliamson2741]

I actually love this painting so much! And not even that I love you! The way to talk in this is so soothing, and the way you can come up with the prettiest of things, and ahhh I don't even have any words 😍😍😍❤️❤️🙌🏼

[@lovebats]

When you started using red and that teal i know it was going to be good ^^ those are the compliment colour combos i like the most

[@nastenkad00m57]

Inspiration for my heart, mind, and soul!

[@SashaFitzgerald]

Stunning piece, I love the colour and detail. 😊

[@meghan369]

Wow! This painting is so freaking gorgeous. You've inspired me to grab my watercolors and just go for it, and let the colors flow.

[@stephanieortiz8508]

Those paints are so cool! Love the colors on this piece ❤️❤️

[@marienacraig0393]

When you mentioned that a Med student came up with these, I wasn't even surprised. Med students always have a good but of things with them. And at least two of those things will be heavy (unless they go paperless and use an iPad with all of the apps lol). So less weight to carry is good. And I've heard that some fields like medical require you to do reference photos or anatomical sketches. So this makes sense and is pretty cool. And if you travel a lot, one or two of these would be great.

[@LucasAlves-zb2ii]

I just loved the painting!!! So beautiful!!!!

[@melissanovo6279]

I love the colors! color away!

[@jennysoulsofabundance2380]

Hi I've just found you on KZbin so I am not sure yet if you did do more of these paintings but I will say I think you totally should, she is stunning.

[@rinlehtisaari6419]

oh.... yes... i was wanting to see you use these sheets. great job.

[@ArtTribute]

I LOVE how your style changed recently I thing it's beautiful and fresh and it's super cool how you achieved it! 🌾🌙 🎏

[@ichliebebrotmann9709]

There are some pieces of art (on social media) that just kinda stick with me, and sometimes even the rant/voiceover that kinda goes with them. This is definitely gonna stay in my head for a while. I'll try to remember the "positive things coming out of bad things" part for future reference, and I think a lot of people are going to be great full for that kind of thought process.

[@gentlethemstitcher6278]

the colors are insane!!

[@kadenmorris3108]

My favorite intro so far

[@angeldeleon5812]

It's been a year since I've worked with watercolour, been working with dry media for a couple months now after half a year of break, this vid makes me wanna do pickup the brush again, thank u

[@harriet5088]

so beautiful!!! I'm in awe

[@cahs87]

This painting is so beautiful

[@Johnnyperezart]

Beautiful as always! So inspiring, and I think it's great if you can get "endorsements" for things that you care about because it helps you and your confidence in them helps them. Artists have it tough enough so help is great so I don't think you should feel bad about it. The mentality that we do it all alone is crazy. We get help in lots of ways, we learn from others, we teach others, and it's very cyclical in my opinion.

[@elowings9319]

I really love the way you use colors with warm/cool tons, it's truly unique ! :)

[@MojoDi]

This is so gorgeous ❤️

[@Celtychan1212]

this is my favorite painting of yours!

[@ahobbitsgrow2109]

I love this video, and just wanted to say that you are one of my favorite artist.

[@myfallenlove]

Beautiful work as always! Would really love to see you continue the zodiac series. Interested in seeing your interpretation of Pisces.

[@taytaybeynippy486]

Audra it's been two months since you've uploaded anything the youtube art community is just nothing without your videos.

[@SeaWiseBrain]

It’s two years now 😬

[@BrookeMaloney_google]

The colors are so pretty in this one!!

[@RaynaPerryArts]

I'm a firm believer of fate, and karma, and the saying everything happens for a reason. :3 Also don't mind the chatting at all, pretty sure most of the people here would agree haha! I love how this turned out, you made all the colors work so well together! And when you did the background it took to the next level.😻💛

[@oscarmartinez702]

I love your art hi
