BEAUTIFUL, Anna. Good tutorial.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you! 😊

[@gillianbc]

Showing the stages side by side is great - I wish all artists did this. I can pause and work up to the next stage - this gives me something clear to aim for.

[@jimcorbett3764]

OK, that is impressive. Up close, the blends and brush strokes are apparent, but looking at the whole picture, it looks very tight, the only give away that it is watercolor is the shadows on the table surface. I like the demonstration of the lifting technique, as well. Very nice.

[@nydiaroman9714]

Impressive technique mastering shadows and light concealing multicolored painting into a refined natural effect !

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you so much Nydia 💜

[@GeorginaEliason]

This is the best watercolor tutorial I have ever watched! Bravo!

[@NaomiCoutureArt]

Love all the layers you did to build up the color it shows through 😃

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thanks so much 😊

[@heidikaplan5110]

Loved this little study, and found it a nice simple painting to get into as a break from large and complicated still life(s). I think a grouping of several of these small studies would be beautiful together on a wall - especially in a kitchen!

[@akertes]

They look so real, beautiful!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you Andrea:)))

[@radharcanna]

Another beautiful painting. You make it look so easy!

[@susanmiddlebrook5882]

Anna, your artistry is glorious! I’ve been following you now for a few months and have taken a few of your classes on Skillshare. Every time I see one of your paintings I am impressed with the way you treat light, detail, layering colors and color selection in every piece you render. Your art is very easy to identify because of this. I want to sincerely compliment you. You are wonderfully talented, and a true artist in every sense of the word. Thank you for blessing me with beauty. Also, I once heard you mention that English is your second language. You were concerned you weren’t pronouncing some things accurately. I assure you did so and I was stunned to learn that English wasn’t your native tongue. The very first time I heard you speak I honestly thought that because of the quality of your voice and the enunciation of the language you easily could be an announcer or something of that nature. You speak beautifully whether English is your first or hundredth language! You are also an excellent teacher. You are clear and present information precisely in much the same manner as you layer color- precept upon precept. 🍒🖌🎨

I wouldn't mind tutorials on summer fruit 💛😉💛

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

@@justtubingby8342 Which ones are you thinking? Apples? Pears? something more exotic? I have lotus flower for next week, something new / not a flower would be nice.

[@justtubingby8342]

dragon fruit, pomegranate ? 🧡

Thank you 😋 I ate like 10 lbs of cherries last week while painting it hehe ❤️

[@carolbenson6524]

Perfect 😮

[@pinkbeautytwinkle]

Hello Anna, great tutorial. I think it would be very helpful to tell us when to let what you are working on dry.

[@corespond1274]

I did it twice (not the same size). I think I will do it again so than I can improve. It's not as good as your painting but It's much better than my previous paintings. Thank you very much !!! I improve thanks to you !

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

I am so happy to hear that you are using the videos to progress - trust me it’s sooo key to getting better and you will notice how it plays out in your future paintings 💜 thank you for putting in the work! Have a wonderful day 😊

Dear Anna, your videos are fantastic👌, very informative and, there is excellent explanation step by step👍🏼. I Love the details and the materials mentioned at the bottom of the video , this information is very helpful🙏🏼. Thank you so very much, your idea and choice of colours is joyful, uplifting and pleasing all together🌺🌸🌼, wonderful. I am fairly new to your videos and started subscribing, the algorithm worked beautifully 👍🏼thank you and bless you. 🙏🏼

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you so much for your kind words Jeanette 🙂 Welcome to the channel- I am so glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Have a beautiful day!

[@mariliarodrigues7137]

Love it!

[@peterstratten3087]

Lovely demo Anna. Can I ask, was the surface wet at all times, so that the colours blend without hard edges, or did each shade dry and then you glazed more colour on top, blending out the edge with a damp brush, again to avoid edges? I have a lot of confusion over glaring and adding later detail and avoiding the dreaded cauliflowers.

[@artygilly3777]

Oh good enough to eat, thank you 😊🇬🇧

Oh no - the algorithm does strange things - sometimes I wonder how they decide to recommend what and when 🤔

[@karenhakes8031]

Too many ads. Imm waiting for directions. I don't see them
