[@이우동-n6c]

Your watercolor video is mysterious at all times. The coloring is so natural and beautiful

[@mariamorjane]

You are very kind :) thank you so much!! Have a wonderful day!

[@philpecoraro3687]

Because of your great talent and generous heart to share, i have created some really nice watercolor paintings, despite having just a few months of experience. Thank you Maria!

[@mariamorjane]

aww that's so awesome Phil :) I am very happy to hear this!

[@viviancattaneo1474]

Thank you Maria for your stunning painting. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your work and how you do it. I am sure there is a lot of planning before taping it. I enjoy the relaxing atmosphere you provide. I like that there are no words, just music together with your art. How you display your materials is perfect. I hope I, and others take advantage of your teaching. Thank you

[@mariamorjane]

Hi Viviane :) thank you so much for your comment and how nice of you :) I really enjoyed reading your comment. Thank you for your support and I am really happy you like my channel the way it is :) xx

A pleasure to watch you work...and the music is lovely. Thank you.

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you🙋🏻‍♀️🌹

[@thechazz5794]

I absolutely loved your color choices. A nice mix of vibrant Quinacridones and natural earth tones that played well together. Well done as usual.

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you so much :)☺️ I appreciate that!

[@debbieekes5718]

This was fascinating and instructive to watch. Thanks for sharing. Trying to get my courage up to trying something like this.

[@ilovetobemom]

Thank you for teaching me this. I went to a butterfly event and enjoyed myself so much. So quiet, serence, the sun was coming into the windows with all of the plants and humidity.

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you so much Crystal🌹🦋🦋😀Your event sounds amazing!

[@boubella11]

Thank you! What i love is that you are so proficient but also don’t chatter on and on. Your edited info is exactly what we need and your camera angle is perfect for seeing every detail. This is beyond the best. You are my favorite go to watercolorist instructor.

[@mariamorjane]

aww thank you Kathy, this means a lot to me☺️🌹

[@Kandicookheller]

Most beautiful butterfly watercolor ever. What amazing technique. You are brilliant and so fun to watch. I can only dream to have skills like you some day. It's my hope to learn from watching you.

[@mariamorjane]

Hi Kandice☺️🌸Thank you so much for your support!! and how cute your profile picture! that dog looks like it would be fun to paint. Just keep practicing and painting a lot, you will get there☺️

[@Kandicookheller]

I wanted you to know that my first butterfly sold the day I posted it on Facebook! I hadn't even put it up for sale yet. Thank you. I just watched your video again and I"m going to go paint another one. i'm sure it will be better than my last one. I learned even more watching you the second time. You are amazing to watch.

[@farmwife7944]

Oh, this is just lovely! you have such a delicate touch, your butterfly is ethereal.

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you so much 💖😀

[@chammikaiser7740]

Very lovely and delicately done butterfly. I really enjoyed watching this come alive. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you so much Chammi🌸☺️🌷

[@Artistandkeepsakes]

Absolutely stunning

[@mariamorjane]

🌹Thank you so much!

[@lindahale1643]

Oh my, your paintings are so beautiful. I love each and every one of them. You have inspired me to start painting again after a couple of years of not painting at all. I have always used acrylic but found that I was watering them down so much that is was almost like painting with watercolors. So after watching you tutorial of this butterfly, I just had to take out my paints again, this time the tubes of watercolor paint, and try to render the butterfly in watercolor. It turned out very nice and I am excited to be painting again. I shared the painting, of course giving you the credit, and was very encouraged by the response I received. I am falling in love with watercolor paints. Thank you so much for sharing you work. God Bless you. Gratefully yours, LAH

[@mariamorjane]

HI Linda☺️🌸I am so happy to read your comment, I think you were always meant to paint with watercolors... it's your thing🤗💕🐝I'm happy I was able to inspire you to paint again thank you for sharing and have a nice weekend💜

Beautiful !!!

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you June🌷🌷☺️

[@amyovard4817]

Maria, this is so pretty!! When adding the second layer of color, how do you know what shades and colors to add. I know that it’s all personal preference, but do you have a photo reference or anything that inspires your decisions of what colors you add? Or do you just put color down? Sorry for all the dumb questions.🙈😃

[@mariamorjane]

Hi Amy, thank you for your comment, and that's no problem at all ☺️💕I didn't use a reference for this one, I went with colors based on a color wheel, I added some yellow undertones to make it work, too, but I basically went with some of my favorite colors. This is an older video/painting, so I am sorry it's not that clear. I do offer classes and tutorials if you are interested ( My main site www.mariamorjane.com ) in a lot I cover about colors, and color wheel. Thank you so much.

[@amyovard4817]

Oh! You know what? I just looked and realized that this was from 4 years ago!🙈 It’s still a stunning painting, though, and I’m going to try it out. (I just need to stop doubting myself.😁)

[@pragya360]

Yay! I‘m early! XD beautiful - like everytime! I love how you painted differently this time. Like, that it doesn‘t look smooth. (Idk how to explain 😅) It‘s wonderful and really calming! 😍💝😉☺️😊 thanks for sharing and have a great day!

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you so much Paet🌸😀🦋every day I am trying to think of easy tutorials haha maybe a bumble bee again would do it😅

[@creativepat66]

Maria Raczynska you‘re welcome! 😊 oh yeah, a bumblebee is cool! But maybe also a swan? I don‘t know how hard that is xD

[@mariamorjane]

I have painted couple Swans ☺️posted one to my YT channel, but perhaps I need to paint one again, more of a close up😅

[@creativepat66]

Maria Raczynska you don‘t have to, it‘s just an idea xD maybe (if you didn‘t already do it) you can paint 2 swans with a sunset. so they look like a heart together, when their heads are touching. I don‘t know how to explain that 😂😂

[@abbychappuis9417]

Is using acrylic paint instead for watercoloring the same?

[@mariamorjane]

hi Abby , watercolors are completely different from Acrylics. Watercolors are to be mixed with water and used on a watercolor paper, you let the paint/water absorb in the paper. Acrylics are a different type of paint you do not add water, they stay on top of the surface, do not absorb in the surface like watercolors do, you paint on canvases and actually any surface you can think of.

[@mahtabalizadeh1021]

Do you use a hair dryer to speed up the process?

[@mariamorjane]

Hi Mary, I used to but not anymore, the paper dries pretty fast
