Ok. I need to practice this. I have a tendency to try painting in the exact colours I see which Dont always translate well. And I need to let there be more white space. I always cover everything and regret it when I’m done.

[@stanwellback]

I’m a big fan of, not only your paintings, but your easy-going manner, Taria. As a stickler for detail I need to adopt your "let’s try this… so what if it doesn’t work out?" approach. I believe I’d get more enjoyment from my own artwork if I was less of a perfectionist. Thank you for an inspiring video. 🙏🏻

Personally speaking I find borrowing the grid system usually utilised by graphic designers helps with layouts like this. the grid i use is dependant on the size of the sketchbook but generally split the 12 grid system into 3 x 4 grids. I dont stick to the grid rigidly but I find it gives my a good starting point for where to place my subjects.

Bought your book. Looking forward to reading it.

Thank you for sharing this ❤

This is so helpful. I tend to do my architectural paintings with so much detail and precision. I need to practice loosening up!

[@josephfiore2843]

Book pre-ordered... looking forward to it!

[@PensandPaint]

Great video and I also a a big fan of your style. Thanks for sharing it with us. BTW Im looking forward to the release of your new book.

Liron Yanconsky does this kind of thing. It's so beautiful! I don't know why I haven't tried it yet myself. It really is a style that lets watercolor be watercolor.

[@BIGPROWLER]

the black and brown upper right remains in your pan looks like a perfect male profile head

[@popfisher3714]

I'm a complete novice beginner and I don't understand why the sketch book picture looks so much cleaner than the one you just painted. It looks much more muddy or murky than the original. Is that because the paint hasn't dried yet? Thank you

[@margaretpinsent6388]

No two pictures will ever be the same...

[@user-by7yc6ju6e]

You mentioned Quinadicrone Rose, but I don't seem to find that actual color anywhere. There are several other Rose colors...Can you please be more specific?? Thanks!

[@AliceDel]

happened to see your comment. it's Quinacridone Rose. :)

[@mathilda6763]

hi. I don't know where you are in the world, but over here quinacridone gets sometimes written in a different way...like "Chinacridone."...maybe because it's easier to read/pronounce for people. so maybe that's something at your place too depending on the local language. I think a good magenta colour might also work for this if you have difficulties to find quinacridone rose. :)
