I like the blue, it’s what first drew my attention to your vid.

[@debbieyoung4411]

I loved the technique you used, plus I liked how you worked through your uncertainty or the process. It was a true learning experience. Loved the video and the painting.

[@debralarrison2596]

Loved watching this, and thanks for keeping the reference photo in view so we could see where you were going, very helpful!

[@thetravellingwhiteleys9594]

I actually think the blue works really well, in fact at the beginning of the video it was the main thing that jumped out at me, in a good way.

[@glenda7921]

Cheers to your bravery and thank you for showing us the whole REAL process. Looking forward to more. I think it’s lovely.

[@Mr59Kenzo]

enjoy your spontaneous approach I used to be way to detailed with my watercolors your approach gives a really nice dynamic feel to the sketch. Love watching your videos

[@Elizabeth58886]

I’ve been wrestling with how to tackle bricks and I absolutely love how you did them here. Thank you!

[@andrecardon2141]

At a loose tec, it looks very sophisticated. I was surprised. That means that the only difference is the amount of time we spend on it.

[@wenwake7584]

Hiya Taria. Loved it at the end when showing what you thought you'd mucked up, while thinking how to troubleshoot, then say blow it because, 'messing around is totally valid'. You are totally talking to people like me, lol. The going overboard is my archilles heel yet you say simply, do another sketch, ha ha'. That is so spot on as we're all continually learning. I applaud you 😁 So back to the beginning of this episode, I was delighted by the top tip using a wet sponge to cut down on kitchen towel. Although gouache isn't your primary medium, I've been experimenting with it the last few months and I've fallen in love with it. Sure it dries super quick, but I've bought a fab container that keeps the gouache moist and only needs a teeny mist of water once a fortnight or Iso.. (can't spell it off-hand) alcohol, and remains moist (5 or so months and counting for me in the UK, and not a spot of mould in sight). Loving the gouache challenges which handles differently to watercolour of course, yet I'm finally using my flat/bright brushes to block in architecture and big shapes. S'funny because I was wearing an old Tokyopop sweat/wristband before to wipe my brushes. No worries as I don't use Cadmiums, but I have a couple of cobalts, and I did get a few skin rashes, yikes! So that water sponge tub is something I'll be trying for sure. I'd looked at that Etchr sketchbook but it's expensive. I've had fun making my own sketchbooks this year with papers of choice and painting my own original covers. It kinda makes it more fun and personal. I think I'll always be buying loose sheets now, especially knowing which medium I'll be throwing at it. Putting colour washes and blocks down first, without worries of precision, is a fun process. I've come to like this process more and more. It psychologically puts you in the play head-space. And, it works! Your painting turned out great, even if you are highly critical of the side building shading and such. And I love all that commentary. It means when the devil sits on our shoulders we should shove the devil off and be done with the negative feelings. Another side note of painting with gouache is that I no longer need gell pens or poscas. I used to hate how those highlights flake away in my sketchbooks. Now I use teeny bits of gouache straight from the tube with spotter brushes or the tip of a small rigger and loving the results that look more natural in the composition (if that makes sense). Anywho, loving the sketch and will try to make time to see what types of architecture or houses you've saved on Pinterest. That could be another rabbit hole though, lol. As always, 👍👍👍

[@lesleydodd2483]

I love it!! And the blue!!

[@lesliethompson4588]

So I’m not the only one that does this.. 😘 great vid

[@andrecardon2141]

Love your channel and your search on material and how to say it an sketch in a different wayS. MERCI

[@sharonjohnsonart]

Hello,Taria! I really love your loose watercolor techniques. It was meant for you to add the blue. Your watercolor skills are great! 🖌️🎨 I will try the loose watercolor technique skills, as well. It will not be perfect, but I will like it. Keep going on this journey, and I will journey along with you. Beautiful watercolor! 🙏🏾♥️🖌️🎨

[@marymccaslin1690]

Oh man, I love your approach on this…I find when I do the same thing when it’s kind of not what I want, I throw even more paint at it. You are the real deal and I am impressed you didn’t edit! Thank you for sharing!❤️

[@kimallen8521]

I really like the blue! Great pic as always, so nice to see your honest approach to your work ❤️

[@AndreeaEremiaArt]

So beautiful art video. I love your all videos. Good job dear friend ❤🤗❤

[@rhonda1631]

Thank you for keeping the process of the blue in! I loved seeing you work your way through it. I would love to see more of this process, if possible. Thank you for all your help

[@ianwalker3922]

I've not watched any of your Art for ages the last time was lock down time I've not been drawing much neather but you definitely inspired me in to getting my kit out thank you Ian.

[@user-ez6ie1ym5z]

👍👍👍

[@ianwalker3922]

Brilliant Taria

[@kindle7191]

Hi Taria, I really enjoyed this house portrait. It was fun and informative. Very cool.

[@artscience9981]

Great video, Taria. I was thinking before you added the blue that the house looked a bit stark by itself without any background on either side. It takes courage to try something new that late in the creative process! It reminds me of videos you’ve done, I think, on other artists, when they put in just a limited shape of the sky. Thanks for letting us see the ups and downs of your creative journey!

[@ezmereldaglutz9151]

Cold here in Melbourne Australia too!

[@lee-oralusis5030]

Love it Taria! I’m new to watercolour, practicing techniques. Thank you for the inspiration😁. Keep warm, it’s cooling down her in New Zealand too.🥶

[@cecilialadaga2811]

Lovely, congratulations! I love this type of painting!

[@helenedahlberg6729]

I LOVE this technique! I have to try it! 🥰

[@wheelchair_charlie]

Very nice! Im just teaching myself watercolour and im taking it way to detailed & seriously, your videos inspire and remind me to relax and have fun and enjoy the looseness of watercolour, so thank you!

[@agold1702]

Great demo, thanks!

[@scrapsimone]

Magnifique 😍

[@sallybally9731]

I love this one and think the blue definitely gives it something 💙 you've came so far, amazing work 👍🤓

[@jenniferpayne2381]

Love it :)

[@horacioevelazquez3250]

I need to practice aaaaaaaaaaaa lot 😞

[@travelwell6049]

I’m getting really fed up with how bland and milky watercolour is. Every time I think I’ve finished the painting, I come back when it’s dry and it looks pale. I have a better experience with Ink and wash, because I can apply the colour thick to start with.

[@Elizabeth58886]

I felt like this for a while too. I don’t know what paints and paper you use but once I started using professional grade of both and painting with a much higher concentration of paint, now I love how vibrant it is!
