I find it so generous that artists like you are willing to share your experiences, skills and time with people who, like me, are new to this medium of watercolor painting. I am amazed at how your waves turned out. That is something that only comes with time and experience so thank you, again for sharing. I subscribed and will look for you on Instagram. Be safe and well. 💕

[@TheVerucAssault]

When I started painting, I started with watercolors. I was 12 years old. I'm now in my late 30s and returning back to them. I watched this then tried doing it myself. I don't give myself enough patience with layering. I'm going to keep at it until I'm happy with the way it looks.

[@alexachepura]

it's very magic, fantasy-realistic, esthetic, rainy beautiful)

[@SayHelloToOblivion]

Beautiful piece of art! You give a lot of great tips for a beginner, thank you. Suggestions for future instructional videos for beginners: 1. Please say whether or not you are tapping the brush on a tissue or something after you load with watercolor. Sometimes it looks like you are doing something off camera, but I'm not sure. As a beginner, this would help. 2. What brushes are you using for each part? 3. During what part of the process did you let the paper dry? Some of us have no idea what we're doing and are still learning the basics. How much water to pick up, when to let the paper dry before moving from one part to another... etc. Thanks so much!

[@LeighPogue]

This is the best “calm wave” video I’ve seen. I really enjoyed watching your process. You also had some really good tips too. I just found your thru the recommended section. So glad. I’m just self-teaching so it’s nice to find good tutorials and inspiration.

[@MrldCtyGrl]

If you add a small drop (grain of rice) of liquid honey or glycerine to the pan first, mix it with a toothpick with a drop (like a small pea) of the paint. Mix it really well until it doesn't separate, then add about half a pan of paint and stir gently again to incorporate. Then they don't dry so hard and won't crack and fall out.

[@williams4146]

I'm just starting to get into watercolor painting and videos like this are so helpful. I'd never think that I would be able to paint something that looks like this, but you break it down beautifully. It's so generous of you to share what you know for beginners like me! Thank you so much! I'll take what I learned here and use it lots more.

[@mulishdavy]

I had to subscribe since you are a lifesaver. I bought brushes, and watercolor and kept on changing them thinking that they were the problem. as it turns out, my skills suck, so you are my number one teacher here on youtube for watercolor painting

[@BolaGuys]

Please more tutorials like this. For a beginner artist like me this very helpful. Your full demos are very helpful too. Thank you so much.

[@aprildegele1510]

This was very helpful, thank you! Most watercolor painters I've seen for floral and landscape start with the light and work towards the dark. That seems counterintuitive to me in some cases. As you said, the darks dictate where the lights will be, and that is also in keeping with what I've learned in oils and, in some ways acrylic. To me, it's much more intuitive to put in the darks first and form the lights around that than it is to try to be super subtle with the whites and lights and work down with glazing to the darks. Makes more sense to me. Dark to mid-tones is easier to see. Besides, if you end up coloring over your lights, you always have gouache to bring them back. Thanks again.

[@lauriebulson3579]

Finally, I was able to create a beautiful ocean. The tip to create moutains made so much sense. Thank you for your generosity sharing.

[@kalliopilyviaki]

Wooah im so happy the whole mountain thing helped you too 🖤 thank you so much for being here ⭐

[@tiffanykoon5028]

You are right. It's like mountains and valleys. Thank you so much. Painting waves doesn't look so difficult now!

[@melrose5963]

Painting is my new hobby now. After watching videos about watercolor painting from different artist I realized i dont have a flat brush 😁

[@TaniaRouserArt]

When you paint these misty serene landscapes, you immediately feel peaceful. And then later this feelings comes back when you watch your painting. Although I work predominantly in acrylics, I love watching watercolor video tutorials and demos. Thank you!

Kalliopi-san Thank you for using your precious time to make a beginner video. I am old and i was not allowed to study art. Now that I can, I do not have th means. I appreciate you so much for the gift you have given to me.

[@fionafrazer8820]

Wonderful painting - for beginners, I think it would help it you told them which colors you are using as you paint. The touch of gold at the end was such a great idea!

[@danikatheresaholmes]

It was nice to hear the happiness in your voice when you were putting the gold details. It was the same as a happy child, and we all need this! :)

[@markduckmanton4227]

I tried yesterday to paint it, not as easy as it looks! My family and friends were amazed, it’s only my second painting! Honestly though it’s not a patch on the one Kalliopi painted. I just ordered a copy through her Etsy shop, I like it that much!

Guys we can make indigo blue by mixing Prussian blue + burnt sienna ....... hehehe just a small piece of advice for those who don't hv indigo blue , I did not hv it so I made it hehehe ..... hey btw ur painting is toooo good..... I am trying to make it . First time I am painting from youtube usually I paint things and plants which r in front of me 😅😅 Edit after 12 hours : it came out beautiful , ur tricks worked it is a bit less prettier than ur painting but it came out to be beautiful

[@adhdbookworm]

The way you describe nature (where the sea meets the sky; waves are like mountaintops) is so beautiful! Gorgeous work

If it will help, sometimes a few drops of gum arabic placed on top of the fresh paint will keep the moisture in. Just a thought. Cheaper than replacing a palette of paints.

I don't think gum arabic would work. It is the binder for the pigment but you could always try it and see.

It's a masking tape/artist's tape/paper tape, whatever works 😊

[@codycurnutte7084]

I’ve always been drawn to art but have an engineer brain. I try to break down art to a set of rules that help you produce a product. But the more and more I watch painting I see that it is just a base set of techniques and then a bunch of try and adapt. Truly is an exercise of make the best of what you have at that second. You also have to look ahead and plan certain details to be added later but also have to be flexible to go with the flow since it’s hard to cover up mistakes with water color since it’s so transparent and hard to fully cover up background layers.
