[@sandra-ve5mr]

Each of your paintings has a hidden gem. This one for me is the little grayish cloud looking like a castle waiting to be explored. Lovely!

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for watching 😊 I can now see a castle in the sky too!!

[@deniseguylabriet4404]

I love your painting : how light and rich in colours. Besides your explanations are clear and interesting to follow. Thanks a lot.

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for watching and for your kind comment 😊 Glad you are enjoying my videos. Happy painting!

[@marieaubry8605]

C'est magnifique, le ciel est incroyable, dommage que les explications ne soient pas en français. Belle soirée 😊

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for watching and for your kind words! Apologies for no French

[@joelleteatinocazana2938]

A friend of mine gave me a photo for painting it. It's nearly the same scène !!! So you help me a lot... thank you

[@AnastasiaMily]

How wonderful! Have fun painting this! And thank you for watching.

[@massimostrippoli3297]

Molto bello! Nella sua semplicità incarna a pieno lo spirito della tecnica acquarello. ❤

[@AnastasiaMily]

[@josesantiagodevicentemarti4031]

VERY NICE...Anastasia...MANY THANKS ...👏🎶📽️🖋️📖🖌️🎨

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for watching and for your kind comment 😊

[@christidoe9431]

Love the tree….my eye kept going to the one cloud on the left which threw me off a little

[@AnastasiaMily]

Thank you for watching! It is fascinating to learn how differently we all react to a work of art - the reactions and the perception are always so unique.

[@francoforleo4971]

I had fun painting with you….🙏🎨🇿🇦

[@AnastasiaMily]

So wonderful to know that 😊 Thank you for following along!

[@raulalonso-aued5905]

Blues always make me feel calm no matter how stressful a day has been... as do the earthier colors like burnt sienna, raw umber and burnt umber.

[@raulalonso-aued5905]

All the brushes you use I can get here across the pond. However, I canot get the NEEF brushes. In fact, I´d love to get a whole set of NEEF brushes. Where, please???

[@AnastasiaMily]

I agree, blues are always so calming! Playing with my paints often feels like colour therapy 💙 I am not sure if NEEF brushes are available outside of Australia. I buy them from seniorart.com.au/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=142_235_2667 but I don't know if they ship overseas or not, maybe you can check with them? I have heard great things about Silver Brush Black Velvets but I haven't tried them myself. They are a mix of squirrel/synthetics so I think their mops would perform in a very similar way.
