whaao your color choice is just beautiful *__* I love every version of it xD

[@EnolaElorie]

it's just so awesome that two of my favorite German artist met and like each other...art connects the right people

[@bhunyee]

Laovaan ikr!

[@LiobaBrueckner]

Awww thank you so much, Laovaan!!!!! 😍💕🌸😊

[@DenissedelaFuente]

Omgggg i loooovee your art!!! ♡

[@maskedfoxx7173]

Hello father Laovaan! :D

[@goldfish1871]

It's so helpful and encouraging seeing you do different versions of a beautiful piece. Sometimes when I finish my paintings but I don't like them because I don't think that those paintings are my best work, it bothers me when other people tell me how much they like the paintings.

[@MS-kc1sd]

I am impressed how you paint a face with watercolours.😮😮😮😮It is like in reality. It is beautiful. You have a big big talent. Thank you for share your talent with as! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋💋

[@michelerellita7936]

Watching you paint, especially the face area, always mesmerizes me. I love ALL your works here -- and you said you were not happy with your early versions; well, I'm happy with all of them :) Usually, great artists (and you are one, for sure) are never fully satisfied with their art work. They always push for more, going up another level higher. A perfectionist you are, me thinks :) That's why your works are GREAT!

[@evebroadbent7125]

It's nice to hear that sometimes you have to restart paintings. I always feel so discouraged as an artist when my paintings don't go to plan, and it can feel as if I'm not good enough!

[@tashedwards99]

Really loved this video! The colours are amazing and its always great to see the artists we look up to trying again and again

[@hellencristini7889]

I just love the way you work with watercolor! Most of the time the way a work with it doesn't fullfill me and I end up giving up on them... but, you really help me and I'm just waiting money to buy a better paper as well to try the way you work!! You're one of my biggest traditional inspiration and I'm so glad to discover you, really

[@wladapoljakova7006]

Again, so interesting and helpful. Thank you Lioba! I personally like the dark areas in your first painting a lot, but then I also see why you do your rigorous quality control. That's very brave. You go, girl! 😊

[@Bitcrossfire1]

im happy to see videos where there is experimentation being done. As well as if it works or does not work for the piece you are making. Very beautiful thank you for sharing.

[@WaniArman]

This video is really helpful. Thank you for your advice on switching medium to get different look on same painting. It's really helpful.

[@elisainwonderland3057]

this is so beautiful 😍 and you are so talented! I love your paintings!

[@bevroberts8440]

So pretty! I love Alphonse Mucha's work and I adore calla lilies.

[@tuthillg]

Such gorgeous paintings and watercolors! Love them and watching your process! TFS!

[@jordankelley128]

I love the colors you used in both! They feel very Alphonse Mucha with the background and flowers but more lively.

[@suga9470]

This is so beautiful ! Simply amazing. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@obbie1055]

I love the creativity within each piece! Currently binge watching your videos

[@helenlowe1722]

Oh my goodness - what beautiful paintings - the colours are just amazing - and they are so lifelike - I can't believe anyone who creates such beautiful paintings can say they aren't good - to me they are absolutely magical! They do say you are always your own worst critic. Thank you so much for doing this video - I shall now endeavor to paint more in watercolour - and will try and keep your hints and tips in mind . I couldn't ever achieve anything as beautiful - but I'll keep trying xxxxx

[@LiobaBrueckner]

Aww, thank yous so much for your lovely words, Helen!

[@tattoolane1]

Lioba Brückner you're more than welcome Lioba xxxxx

[@helenlowe1722]

You're more than welcome - thank you for your stunning art xxx

[@blueberryshake333]

Beautiful work, Lioba. Very inspiring. This is my first video of yours and I'm very happy to have found your channel. Best of luck! ♡

[@melanietruth]

It is often faster to start over than to try and fix something. I have made up my mind to do more drawings and color studies before I paint - hard to keep that a priority especially if time is short! You do beautiful work, thanks for the video.

[@ellieval206]

aaaaahhhh I love your accent ❤ It's very soothing for me It's also nice seeing different versions of the same them/idea/subject

[@silkeschumann7261]

Get an anti-slide mat for carpets and put the under the easel. With the rubber under the easel you have a hard time to move the easel and it will stay in place. The same goes for table easels. It is lightweight and therefor a mobile solution, too.

[@ladyamalthia7688]

its always helpful to know how the artist feels about their work. first glance, this peice looks amazing and i never would have thought you didnt like the results.. there is the image in our head we try to translate to life and what acutally takes on a life of its own. 😉 thanks for sharing, i enjoy watching the process. good reminder to experiment and its ok if your not thrilled with the result. you learn.

[@tracy-eire]

OMGosh that watercolour is gorgeous! Whoa!

[@leviroblox6913]

Absolutely gorgeous, Lioba! I love your style and technique! Grüße aus Florida!

[@angelakate9922]

Now that i am joining an Art Nouveau theme exhibit, i started to appreciate this kind of style. And i really enjoy it since the very beginning it's just that i get to see and really study it up close now.

[@honey3762]

Ich liebe deine gemälde, sehr gute arbeit! I love your paintings, very good job!

[@akshaydhamdhere9472]

Beautiful painting and so much detail oriented.

[@lunitadeplata1]

Thank you very much for the background tips! *.*

[@sharonw2008]

absolutely beautiful! xx

[@vidyawitch]

gorgeous painting!!!💕

[@cherieadamsdodd256]

So beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@sassysup]

It's lovely to know ur insight thoughts behind the painting process n why u didn't decide to choose it... u were going pretty well with it till 15:46 😍 then u went overboard with experimentation! However I feel experiments are important too, coz they teach us a lot.. merely thinking is not enough, we have to do n see ourselves what comes in our creative mind n where it would take us!! ❤️👏👏

[@AnastasiaDraws]

All of this paintings are amazing

[@maryamkhaled9033]

You're one of my inspirations

[@anaperezfernandez2413]

OMG there's so much going on in this piece, so many/much (?) media, gorgeous! New sub here :)

[@LipsitaArt]

Gorgeous flower portrait

[@Stitchxavi]

[@ighordobelin5458]

Omg your art is so amazing

[@TraciMann]

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Bexx74]

This is one of my favorits

[@artsychindiiMD]

hello! lioba :) could you do some video review in fixatives in watercolor? or how or what you use as fixative in your watercolor paintings? it will really help newbies like me. loves from the Philippines 😘

[@najathkarim3075]

Try stencils with gesso to produce stamp like effects but with more texture 😊

[@LemiaCrescent]

Your paintings are just so beautiful. T_T

[@skullingtonfly]

Wonderful 😍

[@vulcy9023]

This is amazing!!

[@liliawebb9377]

You can seal the watercolor paper in the areas you plan to use oils by just painting the paper with white acrylic paint. I use 3 thin coats and separate brushes. Works great for me.

[@Noshidesu]

amazing beutifffful! aaaaaaah!

[@sunsurf8555]

i always enjoy your videos :)

[@mohamedrefatelshazly7994]

very very very beautiful

[@najathkarim3075]

Btw, your painting is 😍 as always

[@DennisCNolasco]

Hi Lioba, great work! What is the name of the vertical stick you used near the end of the video?

[@mothdustdreams]

Have you ever tried "masking fluid"? It can be used very precisely to protect certain little spaces of the painting. Maybe an alternative for the tape ;) I am currently trying to use it more myself.

[@janiebaker6591]

Such a beautiful work of art ..i can't wait for my wages hit my bank next week because I would love to buy one of your gorgeous paintings 😁😁😁

[@LiobaBrueckner]

Aww! :3

[@DestinyFineArt]

Hi my love! I am a pop surrealist , I make tutorials and I love your art! I get inspired by your elements!

[@Jungcakes]

I wish I was as skilled as you are ♡

[@aoi1053]

so beautifuuul

[@jessicawallace259]

your first one was the best! Don't be so hard on yourself.

[@leahollsson129]

What paper do you use? I’m currently using a mixed media paper but it is still quite grainy. It’s perfect for the watercolours but leaves a texture when applying my polychromos. I do blend with paint thinner but it still leaves texture... any suggestions on smooth paper that would take the watercolour? Your work is magical!

[@VitasArtworks]

sehr cool geworden ^_^

[@LuisNgchongJrArt]

yoiur painting looks great as is

[@amjadalherk7356]

Thanks

[@charliethespook7586]

What are you doing with the white paint at the very end?

[@monicabilicic1057]

Hi Lioba I looove ur art. I wanted to know what brand of colours are you using and if you wait a little bit for the watercolor to dry as my paper starts wearing off and the colours don't really paint.....xxx

[@cathyherzberg201]

monica bilicic I'm

[@OrRain00]

สวยยย

[@reaberilla7134]

I like something like this, to do, for me! I think this wud be great!

[@rosannepomerleau893]

beautifull composition, and face ! But if I can make a little critic, I find that there is to much greys and blacks , it dulls out your painting. For better light you can use crimson with emerald it makes a vibrant bleu grey that carches the light.

[@melodyhsueh2557]

Hi from Taiwan! I want to ask abt the watercolor paper u used? And the part of ur hair is acrylic?

[@dale_crossley_art]

Wow, you do beautiful work! I have a question, though, about how you use the Polychromos with the watercolors. I noticed that after you lay down the pencil work you go back over it with a brush. Are you using mineral spirits, water or something else entirely to get the smooth blends? I'm getting ready to try my hand at mixed media with water colors, ink and Faber Castell Polychromos and have been debating on what to use for the blending of the pencil work? Thanks for any tips you can give and once again, beautiful work! :-)

[@LiobaBrueckner]

Hi Dale! I don't use mineral spirits in general for my watercolor based artworks - this one was an exception and I didn't use them for the blendings! ^^ I heard though that there are solvents to get smooth blendings with color pencils! To blend I go over each area with Caran d'ache LUMINANCE pencils! In white or grey tones, makes the areas a bit gray though! If you find those solvents that I've heard of please let me know!!! :D

[@monicab7809]

HI, what camera do you film your videos with?

[@lunawolfcrossing]

Is this done on hot or cold press paper?

[@jennalevering5377]

Brautiful pieces! Do you have a link to paintings of yours for sale?

[@LiobaBrueckner]

Yes, on my website at www.lioba.info/shop 🥰

[@christineingram55]

She is stunning..I liked the others but this one does have that something more than the others did not ..but I love everything you do anyway lol

[@sophiakiesler5612]

Sehr talentiert :) Hast du Kunst studiert?

[@marymikel9193]

FINALLY a artist that understands. Like the art is nice and all, it gets complements, and your also happy with it but its just not 'THERE' you feel I can do better. it's alright your not alone.

[@Tiffany-bd1eb]

Typo in "madness" 😋

[@abdusshahid5305]

How does the paper not get textured. When I paint, after 2 layers I get texture

[@hannahdeards9652]

Abdus Shahid high quality watercolour paper is the answer!

[@SebastianTinajero]

You work very well in watercolor , my favorite work of yours is probably the ones you do in watercolor

[@mr.pizzamarlon]

Second ❤️

[@LiobaBrueckner]

🌸🌷😊

[@michellelowe7127]

Omg. I thought I was the only one who does one piece over and over. I was beginning to think I am too obsessive. I love your work!

[@ladyamalthia7688]

something else you can do is make your own stamps. its SUPER easy.

[@imagismus]

At the beggining of the video the character had a very pre-raphaelite vibe to it

[@ang.giselle2024]

Do you always have to get a model release on each drawing for pictures you use? I thought you Frankenstein your reference photos and don't need permission or that it's not infringing on the copyright? ❤️

[@leiladeli]

I only recently discovered your beautiful art and I'm so in love with it, you're use of watercolour is so creative. I've watched many of your videos by now and I really enjoy the content you create. Plus I've found gorgeous models following you're recommendations! I thought I'd return the favour'. I follow a model called sarawberry on Instagram. She has a very interesting face, in some pictures she looks very sweet and in others she has this dark, alluring presence. And that's enough rambling from me, keep on doing your thing 💜

[@preranasingha1955]

First 💖💖💖

[@LiobaBrueckner]

🌸🌷😊

[@Tinawasserbauer]

How is it that there is copyright on stamps? You buy them to use them for your art, so copyright should not take place. If you sell the same pattern as a stamp, then it makes sense that that is a copyright breach. But to use them for what you bought them can’t be possibly wrong.

[@katielycett7012]

I realize this is an old video but regarding the stamps as you bought them they can not copy right you for using them and selling work with them.

[@xiulizian]

hmmmm her brush seems expensive :v

[@ll-sd5bu]

I love love love your videos but for some reason the breathing in this one made me a lil anxious and I just couldn't listen to the audio :/
