Wow, her portrait skills are amazing! No water edges, astounding talent.

Hi there, I am a retired art teacher/lecturer from the uk, i watched this with interest because although I am good at teaching watercolours never pleased with my own results, today I have learnt quite a lot from a very good teacher Janet, the translucency and alive portraiture and also the way of mixing the colours on the paper…with a butterfly wing…superb at almost 83 and I am still learning which of course I will pass on and whats more encourage my students to watch this page on utube and I do find it easier to work in oils and pastels but now I will hope to succeed with the watercolours…

[@user-oz7bu2jp4k]

Janet Rogers, must not forget that name

Oregon..i intend..Roxanns

[@user-oz7bu2jp4k]

I thought had better explain the comment …’with a butterfly’s wing’ please do not take this seriously, its simply means very lightly

[@user-oz7bu2jp4k]

As for saying she is not very good at explaining, you learn by watching more than you do by hearing, artists are called the eyes of the world as musicians are called the ears of the world, so watch and also note two things, how important the white of the paper is, this is what gives the freshness…you never ever cover all the paper with paint…but no more, I am a teacher, but this is the teacher you should be watching you will learn so much

[@arlenemurphy804]

Love it. Not as easy as it looks…she is a very talented artist.

[@user-me8we2dc8w]

She is doing here it is what we call in the 60 a Che Guebara portrait

[@pierceandrews4975]

Hi from Southern California. Can you tell me what color of green that she uses?

[@janilledutton139]

I believe she mixes yellow & blue. Her palette consists of sets of warm & cool primary colors, with which you can achieve most colors. Plus her own rose violet. She often mixed aureolin with cerulean or ultramarine to get green.

[@cheataview]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@mersedesbents]

❤I will try

[@TheWatercolorPainter]

Curious to know the small see through glass like hand size palette she has in her hand

Green

[@lenkam3712]

Aerolin is fugitive!! It browns over time and fades to almost nothing. Aerolin is fine for art to be made for reproduction work, but never use it on original art to be sold and displayed in homes! There are so many yellows that she could have used such as transparent yellow or raw sienna that would have similar if not same results.
