Inspired by your feedback on the previous tutorial, I made one about the 3 biggest watercolor mistakes I used to make - things I wish I knew when I first started working with the medium. One may be obvious to You, another may surprise You { and one I still struggle with }. Hope you find this helpful! 🙂

[@lisaedelson9830]

You have a wonderful teaching style. I am learning so much!

[@melindaavila498]

I will be watching this again. I have struggled with water control for so long.

[@nancydavidson4899]

Yes please, I’d love to hear more about the things you’ve struggled with. I love your paintings. Thank you for sharing.

[@KateShaw2]

I’ve watched several videos on water control, but this one has a lot of extra good tips!

[@Clogo100v]

Beautiful 😍 love 💗 your painting your so talented 😊

[@esinfa]

Honestly I loved the purple bleed on the birds neck😃 To me, it is what makes watercolor, watercolor.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

You are right! These unpredictable accidents often add charm 😊💕 thank you!

[@griffmic10]

Excellent!!!

[@sharon9532]

Thank you,great useful info.

[@lagunamangano]

Such great information Anna! I could sit and watch you paint for hours and hours. Your work is so delicate and refined, and simply beautiful.

[@britbrat4559]

Oh my gosh I ignored this video at first because it's always the same thing. Every time someone covers mistakes with watercolor it's always blooms and muddy colors and paper qualities. But your video surprised me! Thank you for this!!!

[@corinamarin834]

Thank you! Could you explain more in the next video about using granulating colours?

[@annenglish2935]

I'm a beginner 8 months or so, but have taken a month off at a time and other times. So I am always looking for new beginner friendly tips !!! Thank you! 😊 With love from a California Gramma ❤️

[@patriciascandora4656]

This was an awesome video Anna! I'd love to learn more about when to use staining colors at which stage/layer.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you Patricia! ❤️ you know I am all about those super staining Quinacridones 😊😊😊

[@amymbeauty8765]

I actually purposely started blending edges like the light blue and pink on certain things because it can give super cool effects and interesting fractals for cool details!

[@togetvj]

Like Shirley Trevena, a renowned British artist who has a particular, immediately identifiable style and who has been a big influence on me (she breaks all the "rules"), I love watercolour blooms and actively encourage them. I hadn't noticed that they only occur with granulating paints.

[@MultiRusty50]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and tips. Your paintings are exquisite.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

My pleasure 😊 💕

[@mikelkirby2791]

Thanks for your tutorials. I have learned a lot and helps me build my confidence.

Very helpful video! Thank you for sharing

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sylphofthewildwoods5518]

Thank you, so much! It really helps to understand how to avoid mishaps and how to use shadows and light. I recently started trying my hand at watercolor, and as a previous oil and calligraphy artist, your attention to detail and your style of instruction is incredible, and makes for a pleasurable learning journey. Many thanks.

[@ireneyan1611]

That was very helpful, thank you!

[@bbrosser694]

Thank You! I am in stage one of a complete start over with watercolor; your teaching is well-constructed with care and patience for someone like me. I intend to go slowly and carefully with my re-entry into watercolor as a Beginner.

Thank you 😊

[@SharonNolfi]

Another great video! I appreciate you sharing your experience learning about watercolor. Plus, the colors you use for demonstration are always beautiful.❤

[@maggiedoor6093]

Have a 2" x 12" watercolour paper strip clipped to the side of current painting. (cut up old failed painting backs) when I wet a piece on my painting I also wet 2-3 tiny areas on my test strip. Then test the paint first on the test area, to see if I need to wait a little longer, i also test color strength there.Hopefully one day I will know when it's time, still learning.

[@jojo_watercolors]

I love ultramarine blue violet from QoR. I used it as “white” for my iris painting 😄 it does granulate but I see it only in big washes. In the iris I painted it’s smooth or the granulation is not that obvious. I actually use it now in almost all my paintings. But I agree, granulating pigments have to be used where needed, they hardly ever have a place in botanical art.

[@carostewart6322]

Thank you!

[@Linda-kh6rl]

Thank you so much for taking your time for this expaing. An i love to watch you art work ❤

My pleasure Linda 😊

The magenta migrating into the blue at 1:46 gives a very interesting "tree like" effect. Might be good starting point for trees or other interesting things.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Definitely!!!!! 😄 and it’s even better if you tilt the page - the effects can be really stunning!💕

[@creative2716]

Fascinating.

[@tonimcclure6546]

As always you are such a great teacher. Just watching your video's relaxes my soul and gives me hope on my next creation. Thank you for being selfless and so completely sharing your skills with all of us! You are a blessing and I am grateful.

Thank you for more tips! I absolutely love poppies--the ones in my garden are just about done for the season, so I'll be very happy to see the tutorial!

I'm so pleased to have come across your channel. I really like the way you structure and deliver your tutorials. They are a treat just to watch let alone learn from : )

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Welcome to the channel Shar! 😊 Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback 💗

[@connieebinger6343]

Thank you so much for this video Anna! I’ve been trying to get that flow when I put the paint down and had no idea about the granulation stuff or that the color would make the difference. I will check out your video on granulating colors. I was about ready to give up on watercolor, so thank you!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

I am so glad it was helpful! It’s ok to put the paint away and restart when you feel up to it, and maybe with different type of medium / paper. It took me 3 attempts until I got serious about Watercolor in my 30s - with long breaks in between 💜 enjoy the process 😊

[@ankiac6309]

Excellent tutorial and very helpful and informative. Thank you !!!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

I am glad you enjoyed it! I’ve been having fun doing these recently as a change from narrating compositions 😊💕

[@alisonhendry2928]

Fabulous tips and explanations. Intuitively I felt that second one, but now it is super clear and makes SO much sense. Thank you.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you for your feedback Alison! ❤️😊

[@markdonovan1540]

Very interesting and helpful, thank you. Do you ever use granulation medium to add to non-granulating paints? If so, do you have any videos about this?

[@saltedspruce]

THIS!! This is so helpful, thank you for this video, I would love to see more of this nuances that you've discovered along your watercolour journey ~Kk

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you Kelly! Glad it was helpful 💜 I’ll sprinkle more theory and exercises in between lengthy tutorials 😊

[@thea1360]

hallo,does the thickness of paper play a role and if so how thick is that paper

[@im2bz2bcn]

I have a problem with my first layer of watercolor drying to quickly! I do live in high humidity so turn my dehumidifier on during the night and it’s a must. Suggestion?

[@melaniebaynes2730]

Hi Anna, I absolutely LOVE your work! Thank you for sharing so freely of your time. You mentioned that you have a video about granulating watercolour paints, I have looked and can't see which one it would be. Could you possibly point me in the right direction? Thank you. 🙏💖

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you! One video on granulating colors is here HOW TO PAINT REALISTIC GREEN LEAVES 🍃 Advanced + Beginner-Friendly Watercolor Techniques kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJTPd2WLeZuXr9k 😊 and I much longer tutorial is on my PATREON (the one with a partridge in a pear tree) 💗

Helpful video, thanks! Another topic might be softening edges. My skills are getting better, but I still struggle with this one. There are a lot of videos out there and I do what they say yet still find a hard line when I soften. Any help here would be appreciated.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Great suggestion! one of my favourite things to do especially for larger more complex composition - will DEFINITELY make a video on this :) Thank you!

Cobalt blue is a true blue without granulation
