This flower reminds me of garlic in the bloom stage. It is very light green almost white. My dad grew garlic. very pretty

Un grande ringraziamento dall' Italia. Ho scoperto il suo canale di pittura ad acquerelli che mi ha incantato! Le sue spiegazioni e la sua arte spiegata passo passo sono veramente fantastiche. Oltre al piacere della pittura, ha una dote speciale nel preparare le sue lezioni, questo non è da tutti. Ha una sensibilità ed una osservazione bellissima. Elisabetta (Roma)

I love this, but I'm really challenged to get the same beautiful flower. Great explanation with all of your videos. Thank you for the encouragement.

[@Nianiani]

You can do it, Wendy! ^_^ Its okay if it turns out a bit different. Everyone has different soft motoric muscles, so it's only natural for something to come out in your own style. Hope you keep painting! :))

[@perennialgypsy6491]

I feel like the people that thumbs downed it didn’t get the outcome of painting they wanted.. It takes practice💖Watercolor is hard! Hence why a lot of artists avoid it But you Can achieve it, just practice Some of mine look hilarious but I still try😂😭

[@Nianiani]

Good on you for keep trying! You're right, like any form or art, painting does take some getting used to. Even as I keep making tutorials, there are always new things that I'm learning as I paint - which also makes it more fun. Progress is fun! :)

[@perennialgypsy6491]

Nianiani Thank youuu💖 Definitely agreed! Progress is fun, plus you find your own unique style in the process. I enjoy allll your videos, thank you for taking the time to make and break down water color step by step🙏🏼💖

[@Alex-fc8xn]

I'm allergic to anything in the allium family (onions, leeks, garlic, chives, etc) but I have to admit they have pretty flowers. I could only paint from photos if I wanted to paint them, though! Not a flower I can sit in a garden and paint, unless I want to react and have an asthma attack.

[@Alex-fc8xn]

When I was little and the allergy was milder I used to each wild chives that grew around our house because they tasted "weird" and "spicy" and I thought it was interesting. Never connected the rashes I got on my hands and around my mouth or the sores in my mouth from the burning/tingling reaction that I thought was spice. I was like 5 and didn't tell my parents bc they didn't like me eating random plants (for good reason, obviously)

[@Nianiani]

Oh wooow thats a horrible allergic reaction :( I'm so sorry to hear that. Pardon my ignorace though, because I also imagine a cute 5yo eating wild chives thn getting told off by parents to kind of sound so adorable 😅

[@Alex-fc8xn]

@@Nianiani I have an even cuter story of toddler me eating plants. I loved the smell of green tomatoes and the crunch of biting into them, but I've always hated the taste and the texture of the inside. So when I was little I'd sometimes go into the tomato patch in our garden and find the perfect unripe tomato, take a single bite for the satisfying feeling of that crunch, then spit out the bite and leave the tomato by the plant to eventually become compost. I was really sneaky about it, and when I mentioned it to my mum last year she was shocked and said she had always been confused by the green tomatoes with small bites missing. She thought they were animals but it didnt make sense that the animals would leave the rest of the fruit, or that they would go for unripe ones.

[@Nianiani]

@@Alex-fc8xn omg I straight out laughed so hard at this xD thats so adorable hahahahahaha kids.... least it turned to compost xD

Hi !! Can I ask you for tips for how to make a painting more realistic yet little bit anime ? Btw Iam a big fan of yours !! I love your leaves and flowers tutorials !! Love lots from the Philippines ❤️💕

[@Nianiani]

Well personally, I think if you want to paint realistically, you'd have to have a good art fundamentals, and should be able to draw them realistically first (as it's the basics). Realistic paintings require realistic proportions and realistic colours/lighting. Anime though, is a style... which exaggerates certain proportions by enlarging or making elements smaller than realistic proportions. They also exaggerate certain elements like gloss or highlights, and it's much simpler in terms of colour compared to a realistic painting... I think a tip is just to practice the basic fundamentals by drawing realistically first, so if you'd want to have a slight anime style, you'd be aware of certain things that you want to exaggerate to achieve different feel to your paintings. Hope this helps :)
