The flower background ended up so pretty! I am enchanted with how it turned out! I think your patience and perseverance in doing it definitely shines trough in a mesmerizing result

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much!

[@laylay2200]

Your content is criminally underrated

[@Itsbaberuthless_]

The lineart is always the part I look forward to the most but in this one it was the background that had be mesmerized. She’s gorgeous, as usual!

[@ChantelleArts]

I love the gold and glitter accents you added, this painting looks so gorgeous ❤❤

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much 😊

[@alexz26]

I love your art! You have such a fun and warm presence and your videos have encouraged me to practice my own art again. Thank you for all you do!

[@ChrisHongArt]

this turned out so beautifully!! and so striking 🤩 my brain cells would struggle so hard w the negative painting haha

[@inmyformalsweats]

omg i cracked up at the light pink and light blue color combo examples tinaaaaaaa

[@imawonder]

Bahaha the kpop brain rot persists :P

[@fuzzydragons]

that looks wonderful! they look great next to each other 🥰

[@morganas.creative]

This is such a beautiful painting and they both go together so well! The borders are absolutely chefs kiss. I want to be her 🥹

[@etheraea]

This turned out beautiful!!! I love these characters! honestly i think the idea of a love triangle is so cute 🤧A pink & blue duo is always precious idk i'm really big on colored based duos LOL. Also that method of having a deep contrast in values in a floral background always looks soooooo clean i've been wanting to try it for awhile bc it really looks magical 🥺💖

[@imawonder]

Thank you so much!! I'm also such a sucker for colour based duos hehe

[@CC-jy3el]

I just love watching your watercolor process. The way you blend out the colors is so lovely and relaxing.

[@theebobrossofmakeup4926]

I love to watch your water coloring videos. This looks amazing

[@jazzyjay4358]

Loved this video ❤ Most of my watercolour pieces have no backgrounds or do simple color washes but when I try to make detailed ones, I use acrylic gouache.

[@YvesGeorgeSanchez]

I’ll definitely try this digitally and with other designs!

[@missblisspresents]

So excited for the paint brushes ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TonyTylerDraws]

Love these two.

[@CC-jy3el]

I love your Knight and Princess characters! (I'm also on Team Knight, haha.)

[@imawonder]

Hehe I'm so glad thank you!

[@myTaintedHearts]

watching you paint the flower & leaves was so calming! the end result looks great!

[@oneinathousand2156]

This is really relaxing for me to watch after getting frustrated with myself for ruining a painting because my masking fluid ripped my paper.

[@changemymind06]

Awe, yeah, i love the negative painting technique! You can do so much with so little...well, except patience - you need a lot of that, lol. I LOVE how this turned out! You really nailed the color palette and the proportions of each color within the painting. Watching you paint is always so enchanting especially the sparkly stuff 😊

[@imawonder]

So much patience haha! Thanks so much!

[@laneybrooke1284]

I ADORE this video, and it is such a fantastic example of why I love your channel- you have such a wonderful way you explain your thoughts and processes. Your explanations are SO accessible and beginner-friendly, but so clearly a product of tons of practice and consideration and experience. You are without a doubt my favorite artist to watch on KZbin! I have oodles and oodles of respect for you and your art and videos. I always come away from your videos inspired and more knowledgeable than I was before! Thank you so much for not only sharing your wonderful work with us but also taking the time and energy to share what you've learned.

[@imawonder]

Ahhh wow wow I'm so touched! Thank you so much for your generous compliments! It really motivates me to keep making videos! I really appreciate it

[@CreativePhenomenonArt]

So beautiful. Thanks for all the invaluable tips Tina. You are awesome 🤗💕

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much 😊

[@silviaparda9001]

Love this. Thanks for sharing this technique and also for admitting that your hand cramps up 😂 I’m trying to paint/illustrate without constantly holding my own death grip but sometimes it’s unavoidable and I feel like I’m the only person making art whose hands/fingers cramp up or hurt. Why don’t more people talk about how physically demanding art is?!? 😅

[@elizathepainter8604]

Loved watching this detailed background come together. Will definitely give this technique a try! Great art and voiceover as always

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much!!

[@georgianarotaru8474]

Your art is so beautiful. Thank you!

[@romanrodriguez3643]

Cool work dude

[@deborarosa9080]

I love your tutorials 🧡

[@kyleedoma]

I really feel like you’ve outdone yourself with this vid/illustration, Tina !!!! I’m obsessed with these characters. Can’t wait to receive the prints. I also need a whole tarot deck of them & their friends like yesterday 🥹

[@imawonder]

Haha omg thanks so much!

[@richatdastkey3555]

I like this video a lot im learning so much about this medium. I've had some himi goauche gathering dust for a couple yrs now and im going to try to use it w some of these techniques. Soon ill get some water colors and acrylic inks

[@AndreeaEremiaArt]

Another amazing video 😊😊😊

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

So stunning 🤩 I love how seamless your color gradient is, really good tips on how to do this. The background, although tedious to block out all those leaves, the results are so beautiful!

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@BrendaFOBRocks]

the guard - queen - king love triangle is giving me big Lancelot and Guinevere vibes!! not sure if you've read The Guinevere Deception trilogy but I have a feeling you'd like it :)

[@imawonder]

Ooh I've never heard of it but I'll add it to my list, thank you!

[@tashaanicole62]

Wow when i saw the thumbnail i thought that was washi tape 😆 I did something kinda similar that with roses its very relaxing to me. I love when you paint your knight and princess characters i hope we see more of them! 💛

[@imawonder]

Ooh yes I could see that haha Thanks so much, yes more to come!

[@melanie990]

Wow!!!! Okay, this is GORGEOUS 🥰🥰 I would've passed out holding my breath while doing the black gouache against the gold! I've never seen that glitter gouache, where did you find it?!?!?!? And what paintbrushes are you using? Their tips are absolutely perfect! I've bought really good brushes and still never got that fine tip unless they're brand new! I love your art, you are my favorite KZbinr by far ❤❤

[@imawonder]

Thank you so much!! Glitter Gouache is by Turner's and the brushes are a custom set I'm currently working on! Will be available in the coming months :D

[@missblisspresents]

Yey a new video ❤

[@querenism_1199]

I scream when saw seonghwa and san picture 😭❤️

[@imawonder]

I love them with my whole being T^T

[@lohferreirx]

random but can you draw another xdinary heroes member?? i just love seeing them in your style 🥺 (ps: the princess and knight concept is just always so beautiful 😭💖🩵

[@whereslaska]

"As you wish"

[@Poorstargazer23]

Maybe I missed it, and I checked the description, but who makes the watercolor brushes you used? I dont really need more supplies or tools but...The colors are so cute.

[@Poorstargazer23]

Lol, nevermind, I caught the part about "keeping an eye out" 💜

[@missblisspresents]

What brand is the thin painters type ❤ love this picture ❤ excited to receive them

[@imawonder]

I think it's 3M? I got it ages ago haha Thanks so much!

[@HaydenTheHistorian]

dunno if the typo was on purpose but you misspelled "painting" in the title

[@angeloliver4487]

Hey!! Theirs a misspelling on your title! ;-; you should fix it to be good with the algorithm! Love your videos!! :)

[@ThatVeganNerd]

Will the prince find their forever love?

[@CC-jy3el]

A court mage or royal advisor for the prince! :)

[@ThatVeganNerd]

@@CC-jy3el im shipping him with a couple, creating the perfect little triad. Although i am curious what imawonder's creative and fun mind will come up with when or if the time comes for said prince to find their match

[@imawonder]

I love the theories and investment hehe! I do think the Prince is due for a happily ever after too..stay tuned!

[@richatdastkey3555]

Lol im a huge weeb but know little about k pop and frankly for yrs id been thinking those colors would only work in art but those kpop dudes were styling
