I am totally in love with Japanese art , especially cranes! Thank you!

[@kathiehayes865]

I’m in awe. A few brush strokes and “wha-la” you’ve created a Japanese Crane. You’re good, Harriet. I’ve got to try this. Thanks for your time and sharing your talent. I’m off to wake up my watercolors. 😊

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Go for it!

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

Harriet, you are a natural. I can see how much you enjoy loosen up. It would be lovely to see a white stork painted in loose style❤

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Maybe one day!

[@djozwowski]

Beautiful Harriet. Here in Central Wisconsin from April thru late fall we have Sandhill Cranes which look just like your Japanese crane here....the Sandhill is just grayer but they have that lovely red top knot! Can't wait to try this. Thanks!

Lovely. Next in my list to paint. I pretty much do every tutorial since I discovered you in December. Also, I paint along with a group on Facebook that is following your A Year of Watercolour book. I have your other 2 books which I plan to also paint everything in them….I am having loads of fun painting.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Wonderful!

Thank you! 😄

[@johnsalamone3152]

[@paularoper6243]

I absolutely love love love this! Question though, can you give me an idea on how to make my own moon glow colour when I don't have moon glow? It looks kind of grey and purple, am I correct there?

[@coldundertow]

I have a limited pallette with 6 colors (set of 3 primary colors and their cool + warm versions), would you mind recommending how to mix/substitute for moon glow and buff titanium?

[@deWintonPaperCo]

I have tutorials on that kind of thing on my patreon. But for more general colour mixing check out my watercolour painting for beginners playlist.

[@cristinatort8280]

Hello there!!!😊 I am searching for your latest books in spanish but GG don't have them in their Katalog . Any further help 😊? 🙏

[@deWintonPaperCo]

I’m pretty sure we do have Spanish versions

[@cristinatort8280]

I would be happy to buy them if I knew where
