This was an AWESOME video!! I feel like I learned so much from it 😂 I'm the worst at painting floating heads and leaving the backgrounds blank. I will have to try this fun splashing technique out one day, thanks for sharing!

You have no idea how much you've helped me grow as an artist. You're my inspiration *-*

[@brookepage3752]

Can you eventually do a more in depth video of how to paint eyes? This is the main thing I struggle with in water color portraits.

[@saithe6realiser]

Same here.

[@LouchanArt]

I believe this is more of an issue of knowing how to paint an eye, so I recommend Istebrak for that! I'd be really nice to have a video from Lioba in watercolors though.

[@B1ackDahlia767]

Sennelier watercolors are lovely for glazing layers, and St. Petersburg White Nights are great for beginners, in my opinion! Your paper and brush type may effect your lifting abilities, & certain brands/pigments can contain dyes or colors that are more staining, (like QOR, which I adore as well, especially for wet in wet works,) which can make lifting more difficult. I've heard tell, people have used the household cleaning product, "Mr. Clean Magic Erasers", to lift or correct areas nearly back to the white of their paper but personally have only used these to clean stains from my palette so far. Wonderful description of the burnishing technique with colored pencils, Lioba! I, too, utilize the Luminance and Polychromos & absolutely love them! This is a gorgeous painting, and you've done an outstanding job with the piece. I've been enjoying your videos over the years! Thank you for your time, efforts, and generosity in sharing your artistic experiences & knowledge with us all! Blessings. 🎨💜

[@LiobaBrueckner]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Barbra!

[@rainbowfox1934]

Watercolor fills in the tooth of the paper well and colored pencils give such detail. Thanks for a great video.

[@user-xj9tj7vo4t]

Lioba, I love your style. I do portraits right now, but I am so obsessed with photorealism that one could ask Why bother with painting? Why not just have the photo? Good question! So I love the idea of making my portraits more painterly. I just don’t know how. I like your incorporation of color pencils with watercolor. I have been using watercolor pencils with watercolor. I should try color pencils. Thanks so much for your art and sharing your techniques and skills!

[@brucetidwell7715]

Beautiful portrait! When you started doing it, I really didn't think those splashes would work but they do. I really recommend Arteza paints for beginners or casual painters. The quality is quite good at a very affordable price compared to the more professional brands. I work with watercolor pencils, traditional color pencils and some watercolor for washes and backgrounds. I like having a matching color pallet across all the mediums. It makes it possible to get some really neat special effects. Great explanation of what you were doing, as well.

[@melindawolfUS]

I recommend Da Vinci for my beginner watercolor students, the price is SO good for professional quality. I don't believe students over the age of 12 should use anything but high-quality supplies because otherwise, you're fighting too many battles to increase your skills and confidence -fighting your unpredictable supplies at the same time as fighting inexperience. I add Silver Black Velvet brushes and Arches paper, too of course ;)

[@sarahlaw5797]

Melinda Wolf Da Vinci watercolors are professional grade?? I always thought they were student grade because they are a great price. Maybe I should try them.

[@melindawolfUS]

@@sarahlaw5797 I find Da Vinci to be similar in quality to Daniel Smith and for classes I can buy them in larger tubes and give everyone a pan full to try. I first heard about them from another KZbinr about 6 months ago. I am not an expert on their colors but all 6 of the ones I've tried are very high quality and have the benefit of being good in layered washes as well as being able to lift color when desired - with Qor and Daniel Smith, colors do one or the other well but usually not both things.

[@theredemu]

@@melindawolfUS what 6 colors have you tried? I've considered trying them due to the price too.

[@eugenecharlesindico1906]

That was AWESOME! I don't paint much with watercolor but this inspires me to take another adventure. Lioba, can you make paintings in the style of Monet? That would be a great masterpiece of yours again!

[@DrQuizzler]

Beautiful result, as usual. You said the model's name like she's famous or something. I don't recognize the face or the name, but boy oh boy does she make a good model!! Her whole face is so pretty and expressive, and you captured every aspect of her face and hair wonderfully, and were still very free with the colors and composition elements!! It's funny how you said doing splashes makes you feel like a real painter, although your being a painter seems pretty real to me all along!!

[@NavilleT]

DrQuizzler she’s KZbin famous 😂

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

Kenna (Cozy Kitsune) is a KZbinr and Instagram model. She’s been problematic in the past, like stealing artwork and then chastising other people for “stealing ‘her’ artwork”. She’s pretty, but she’s had a bad attitude in the past that has hurt her reputation a lot.

[@AlottaBoulchit]

She's an awful person and it sucks seeing such beautiful skill wasted on a lying, cheating, stealing, dehumanizing twit.
