Hi guys! Its October, and my fav month to paint mushrooms! I love Autumn (though it doesn't exist where I live) so I really wanted to use fall colours for my paintings this month. Today I decided to paint Porcini Mushrooms, for the really cute plump shape as well as the nice brown shades and I hope you guys enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed painting it ^_^

[@immapokeyouwiththetruth1476]

Hey Nianiani! Your art has been always a inspiration to me and one day I want to be as good as you in water colour but as school came and made me spent less and less time on drawing, now I am actually sick because of school and your videos have been a joy to watch! Wanted to increase a little joy in your day have a good one ❤️

[@Nianiani]

aww thanks for sharing your experience with these videos. So glad it could help accompany you. Hope you get well soon!

[@artforfun101]

Wow... what a beautiful Mushroom couple... the whole composition turned out amazing..

[@Nianiani]

Thank you!

[@RadishTheFool]

You are so good at creating projects that are both inviting (because you calmly walk us through them in just the right level of detail), and rewarding (because the end result is honestly wonderful). Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to giving this one a try. 😊 Edit to add: You're also extremely good at giving just the right amount of realistic tips on how to problem-solve or adjust things while working. I truly appreciate that aspect of your paintalongs. So often, us not-quite-beginners try to follow along, but then if something goes awry even slightly, we get lost and discouraged. Whereas working out those inconsistencies with our previous expectations while we are painting is so often a core activity of painting with watercolours. And, at least to me, a major reason I enjoy the medium so much. Watercolours surprise me, but then also allow me to gently nudge them towards the inspiration that I got from that surprise. ☘️

[@Nianiani]

Aw thank you so much for your feedback! I too feel like things aren't going right a lot of times (today was one of those days actually). I'm so glad that the tutorials could help get over that hurdle! ❤️

[@debbiebuttars5598]

Oh Nia! This is so beautiful and earthy. I always adore your tutorials. But every now and then one just strikes a chord in me. I can't wait for tomorrow to try this myself. Thanks!

[@Nianiani]

Haha I guess it shows when it's one of my favourite subjects to paint xD

[@jennyc5132]

Why wait until tomorrow Deb do it as Nia does it...1🤭🎨

[@TracyIndy]

So adorable. I love all those color mixtures and It' s perfect timing for the fall season. This is the first time Ive noticed you using a rigger/ script/ liner brush. Its so funny because I spent all day researching and pricing this type of brush. Thank you for the usual Friday Joy. 👍🍄🍁🍂🌞

[@Nianiani]

Thanks Tracy!! I bought this in Japan a few years back, it's very handy to paint branches because it keeps more paint load on the long bristles and can randomise the crookedness of the branches :p
