You are welcome!❤

[@joniyoungart]

You’re a master! This is exquisite work 👌

[@marybirder5663]

You're doing such an amazing job with all your paintings! Thank you for providing the sketches for your tutorials, as well. One thing I think I should add is to stay away from transfer paper that is "waxed", b/c it cannot be erased from your watercolor paper. It's very easy to make your own transfer paper using graphite sticks and a sheet of tracing paper, which can be found in any art store, Michael's and also Amazon. Simply rub a sheet of tracing paper with the graphite stick until the tracing paper is completely covered. Your DIY transfer paper can be used over and over again and erases very easily on your watercolor paper. Hope this helps! Thanks again for all your hard work, no doubt you will grow your channel quickly. I've already subbed!

[@MarenaART]

Thank you so much, Mary. That is a great tip. Definitely something to look into. :)

Impressive painting, Renata! Everything looks so beautiful and realistic. Even the detailing is done quite nicely. Good Job! :)

[@MarenaART]

Thank you tons, Shania! I love you sweet comments.😊

[@SharonDraws]

@@MarenaART Dear Renata, thank you! :D

[@kathyschieb6686]

Love, love, love. Can you share the paint brand and colors you use the most please? Also was there only one hinge on purpose? I love your videos and these are amazing!

[@MarenaART]

Hey, Kathy, lately I use mostly watercolors I make myself, but apart from them, white nights. I love trying out different brands, so sometimes I use Sennelier, Etchr, Schmincke, W&N. I wasn't really thinking it was a hinge, but a metal piece that holds some of those board together. But if you would like it with two, add it.😉 Why not?!

[@KaleidoscopeVisuals]

Enjoyed watching your painting 🎨☺️ I see a lot of nature and outdoor scenery based watercolors. Do you work on any city life scenery?

[@MarenaART]

Thank you! 😊 Not really sure what you mean. Wheather I take inspiration from one particular city?! No, I do not. I actually paint a lot using reference photos I find online. I would love to travel lot more a nd paimt what I see, but unfortunately I don't. Not yet...🤷‍♀️

[@KaleidoscopeVisuals]

@@MarenaART Yes, inspiration from the city life. Hopefully, we all can return to normal life, pre-2020. 😀

[@anadelgado1946]

Renata just watch a new video of yours on your blog. So so beautiful. It says it was the latest But can´t fint it here...

[@MarenaART]

😁 It's just one before this one. Loose landscape. It's not really the last one, just among the latest. Try to go to my channel page, and you'll find it in uploads category. And I am glad you like it, Ana.😉

Gorgeous! really loved it! What is the nunmber the brushes you´re using?

[@MarenaART]

Not sure if you think of any particular one. Round ones are 4 and 8, mop is small and that gorgeous handmade (Lebenzon pqintbrushes) is also small. But that all depends on the size of your painting.😉

[@anadelgado1946]

@@MarenaART Thanks. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing

Can you paint some Spanish houses?

[@MarenaART]

Probably, yes. :)
