Thank you for sharing the techniques for the Japanese temple, distant mountains and cherry blossoms! I'm headed to Japan in April for the cherry blossom season and can't wait to paint in my journal that travels with me using some of your suggestions.

[@suesheehan5958]

My son is going to Japan for a holiday & I'm making a journal for him to take to record his experience... I'm painting a picture on each page leaving space for his writings... will definitely try this on one of them. Thanks Harriet.

Thanks to who ever suggested this, and to you for painting it. I love the cherry trees and Japanese traditional architecture.

I absolutely love that!

[@Justathimbleful]

(Love the uh-LIZ-uh-rin 🦎 crimson! 😉 ) Granddaughter just returned from her studies/trip to Japan. I'll paint this for her!

[@chandrawong449]

I've only heard it pronounced how you did it, but then I've only heard it on KZbin from North Americans artists. I assume the pronunciation is different in the UK like aluminum and aluminium (which is also spelled differently in the UK).

[@gaia_x_3322]

[@satyajitkanjilal3674]

Use indigo or charcoal black instead of paynes grey -I am a very senior hobby painter from Mumbai . You are indeed very talented!!

[@carolward6833]

Delightful, thank you

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Angie-pl3uw]

This is lovely, but probably too difficult for a first try Could you try all the landscape and a pretty bench where one might meditate. That is often seen in Japan. I LOVe the color palette!a, BTW, many, many moons ago my family and I lived in Kapan for three years!

[@peggybrownelliott783]

Like - Dislike, there should be a button for Amazing!! Really loved this one. Thank you!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Oh thank you Peggy!

[@Poethead50]

I really love this. I want to paint it because of the colors, as well as because it’s so pretty.. At the very beginning when you start, you mention using imperial purple. That is not listed on your colors of the paint that you use for the painting. Is that the color you use to mix with the alizarin red? I know if I don’t use the same colors, it won’t be as lovely. Could you clarify for me, please? I can’t wait to try this. Thank you!

[@josheehan6026]

I am a total beginner and my big love is Japanese watercolour scenes. With sun’s, mountains, reeds etc, Can you tell me the size brush I need for fine detail like the trees, I have some cheap brushes from a well known Danish chain ( but not fine enough ) and as I’m totally shit just need to know the basic brushes I could use for these types of paintings. Thank you and love your work xxx

[@BelindaColless]

I love your work. Am I correct in thinking this was wet on dry?

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Yes, correct

[@hulyaakk]

Hi, I don't have moonglow. What color can I use instead?

[@NaturalHealthAngel]

What color is Moonglow?

[@Poethead50]

I found the answer to my question below with regards to the imperial purple. Please just ignore my question. Thank you.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Glad to hear it.

[@loriannferraioli2698]

Wow this was complicated to draw. Arrrgghhh

[@barbaracallan7672]
