✰ WATERCOLOUR PORTRAIT PROCESS ✰

[@georgezakhia125]

I wish someone loved me the way Tina loves magenta

[@somber2873]

At least people don't love you the way Kasey loves purple. Just keep your chin up ♥️

[@imawonder]

LOL HONESTLY SAME

[@annebates3890]

I recently painted a portrait and it's the first time I've actually liked and was proud of it. watching your videos has helped so much with understanding where to place light and shadow and using color theory to my advantage. Love your art and art style so much. It's very inspiring.

[@michal752]

I’m glad for you!! Good job💗

[@imawonder]

That makes me so happy to hear!

[@asakeith533]

Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me

[@kellenkye554]

@Asa Keith Instablaster ;)

[@asakeith533]

@Kellen Kye thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

This artwork is one of my favorites of yours! It's so pretty!!

[@imawonder]

Aww thank you so much!!

[@positiveartist3989]

All of your drawings look so gorgeous!! I still have to practice a lot. Btw you're such an inspiration for me and my channel 🥺💕

[@imawonder]

Aw you’re so sweet thank you!!

[@AlssadaryaM]

This piece is so inspired! I love how you've added extra bits to your videos like colour mixing, brush washing and going into more detail about your process. It was so helpful and is an example of one of my favourite things about your videos that you always make the extra effort to connect to your viewers in a very genuine way.

[@doodleyournoodles675]

She looks absolutely amazing! So beautiful! I love all the blue in this art piece.😍💕 It really helps when I see other peoples process and especially when they talk about it too. Thanks.😊

[@imawonder]

Thank you! I'm so glad!

[@usagi_snax9684]

perfect timing! I was hoping for a new watercolour piece!

Yay happy to deliver!!

Omg its's posted!!! I got so excited when you posted about it on your story!!!

The lineart for the hair is SO nice!! I love the ""finishing"" details like that - it really pulls everything together in a way thats SO fun to watch :D

[@michal752]

THIS LOOKS AMAIZING you never fail to wow me. Your prices are all so beautiful and creative you’re seriously my favourite art channel💗

[@AbsoluteAma]

I love how dreamy this piece is! The stars in her hair, and the waves?!? Beautiful!💕

[@natyeh]

your videos make me so happy 🥺

[@aishicchi7685]

I must say.. Adding the last touch up of yellow for her skin made her skin pop up more. It became warmer tho but it contrasts the background and her hair, that's why in the end your painting became a lot more amazing and unique~ nice decision Senpai hehe Keep up the good work and stay safe!

[@imawonder]

Thank youu! I'm glad!

[@lisa-sz8jj]

Love this. I've almost only used alcohol markers for the last 2 years but she's convinced me to get back to watercolour and gouache againnfor her october challenge 🎨 top tips as usual 💛

[@imawonder]

Yaaay so exciting! Hope you have fun with them!

[@alexisachickennugget3500]

So ✨stunning✨ We can always count on Tina for premium content 💜💜

[@fanastyfinder]

This is absolutely stunning! And you are so informative while you talk, I love hearing in detail your process with actually seeing it

[@fIamangoes]

I love hearing your process, and she turned out gorgeous!

[@sugarbee6151]

The ultimate form of trust the process.

[@chapterandclawstudio]

I love watching these videos while I'm drawing. It's like drawing with a friend.

[@Amy-bi5vg]

I'm interested in using more watercolors so it was helpful to hear you talk through your thought process including the trial and error. The piece turned out lovely~ Also, this hair looks really fun/relaxing to paint lol

[@klaudeaclouds3863]

I can't believe how much you improve everytime you upload! It just looks so good and I can't help but fall in love with your work and of course with you,Queen! Hope you are also doing well and so is your family,Queen! Lots of love from🇵🇭

Beautiful painting!

[@cutiechriss98]

I'm so obsessed with the painting! Amazing!🤩💕

[@angelicvortex5492]

this painting hits different 😌💙

[@LivWis]

The blue is so satisfying in this piece! Do you paint flat down for filming only, or is that your preferred painting layout? Do you ever find you get a sore neck/shoulders?

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much! I sometimes prefer to sketch on a tilt but I almost always paint flat because I don't want the paint to run. But funny enough filming helps me have a more upright posture cause otherwise my head will block the camera :P

[@crustyquesadilla4630]

i would love to see you painting Yue from Avatar: The Las Airbender!!! i know all of your artwork is amazing and I would love to see how you would paint her💜

[@kiayahb8893]

I’m OBSESSED this is so prettyyyyyy 🥺

[@sydneybturnerart]

This painting is beautiful! It was really cool to see how you mix and blend colors

[@leeskathy123]

Can't wait to receive this print! Do you stretch your paper before you paint or do you just stick it down ? Do you have much trouble with buckling ?

[@imawonder]

Thanks so much! I actually don't stretch my paper cause I'm lazy/impatient lol! If the paper is warped I'll cover the back side with water, put a piece of paper on it and some heavy books overnight to straighten it out :D (I really should just stretch it though lol)

[@leeskathy123]

@@imawonder ahhh so clever!! I'm the same too impatient! I'm definitly gonna try this I paint quite small so it should work well for me.

[@samyart7109]

Hi I just want to say you are my favorite artist in the world, you are so so good and inspire me so much! My style is a little similar to yours but you inspired me to do so many drawing that without you I wouldn’t have done.Thank you for being here and inspiring me to draw everyday. Ily ✨💕💕

[@hershidrawz]

Ahhh Ma God this drawing turned out so amazing!!!💖✨

[@kforkalopsia]

You should do a series of this artwork, it would be cool to do the moon, the stars, the clouds etc.

This was amazing to watch, I actually love the talking about your thought process voiceover 🙌🏻✨ I’m going to sign up for your Patreon as soon as I’m able!✨💛

[@imawonder]

AW yay thank you so much! No pressure!

[@elinbirgis]

have you ever done a poster study? do a portrait, choose to include x number of tones, hmm lets say 4 tones plus white! yeah so when you done the sketch you decide where the tones go, you could go all the way to black, but you usually keep the darkest part in some color, so choose that. But you gotta map them out on before hand! Have fun😄

[@marshmallowdawg4358]

in the initial sketch layers she was looking like a Greek god and I LOVED IT

[@iilbeahoo9407]

Waking up to one of your videos is always the best😍

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

Wow you,re painting is so beautifull i wish i could draw like you. I love neadeble earesers too. I always play whit them wen i am drawing or sketching

[@emjayflores6098]

This is soo beautiful!!! Love all your worksssss!!!

[@etheraea]

Ahhhh how inspiring!! This really turned out amazing and I absolutely love the concept. I think it was very helpful to see your process and have you talk through it. It also made me realize it's not as scary as I think it is to do a watercolor portrait, it just needs practice and patience. Another thing is earlier this year I felt discouraged to do simple portrait drawings with fun or pretty magic elements because I felt like it might get boring to people since it's pretty common. Watching you draw so many lovely girls in these amazing portrait shots kinda reassures me that it's fine to do that if it's what I really like to do. Thank you ^^

[@imawonder]

I'm so glad! I thought it was important to show the small mistakes so that helps reassure people not to get discouraged if they experience any set-backs! Patience is definitely key! Also, YES! I am a film believer in creating the work that makes you as the artist happy!

[@aliciadovebridenbaugh1198]

To ima wonder she looks like a wind spirit or a mermaid very pretty.

OMG the hair reminds me of that Legend Of Korra episode with avatar Wan!! This looks amazing btw!

[@imawonder]

Oooh!! That episode with Avatar Wan was probably my fave from Legend of Korra, it was so cool and the overall style was so good!

[@kailinhenriksen]

This was stunning omg. I love all of your work so much and this is definitely a new fav

[@yorga6544]

You're one of my fav artist! I hope one day i can turn into a good artist like you!! ♥

[@shinigangyt5727]

i also don't like how i could possibly ruin the paper when sketching on it directly, so that's why i use a light box! i'm very heavy handed so i can easily go ham on sketching with printer paper then i just transfer it onto my nicer watercolor paper without worrying about the sizing getting affected. hope this could help!💜

[@imawonder]

Oh totally! I also often use the light box method too! Depends on how complicated I think the piece is going to be haha

[@mariapias]

This gives me pisces vibes 💙 Beautiful as usual!

[@msclark024]

Idk if this is the exact same paper but I bought it bc I thought it was a better brand than canson but as great as arches. I have a hard time keeping the paint on the paper. It lifts too easily. I wonder if my window Newton conman are mostly non-staining. The blue/green is the only few colors i could get to stay on the paper. I know the more expensive paint has a denser color & stain better. Daniel Smith being one on my list but I just can't afford it at the moment. This pencil looks super useful. I have water color pencils & these prisma Verithins that are somewhat erasable.

Wow I’m early. Absolutely loved the painting!! Amazing as always!!💛💛

[@KaineRodrigues]

I started to paint because of youuu

[@imawonder]

Ahh that's amazing!

[@DrQuizzler]

Usually, I look at the length of the video and if it's over 15 minutes, I just kind of SKIP to the next one. I was so curious about the process behind this beautiful painting that I clicked. Then the trial and error and many adjustments on the way to the end result got me. The gal looks so chill that I just figured she took one, maybe two steps, but this was actually quite a ride. You stuck with it to get to that wonderful sense of cohesiveness at the end. How many hours would you say this took?

[@imawonder]

I'm so glad the video was worth while for you! Thank you for the kind words, this piece took about 3 hours :)

[@nekomata8996]

aaa so pretty! I love watching your videos ❤️

[@Mass1951]

When you said Hokusai all I could think of was how there would def be nips in it if they painted this 😜 Love the skin-tone and the face! Really excellent💚

i always get intimidated trying to watercolor a sketch, especially if I really like it. But your videos always inspire me✨. So I'm gonna step outside my comfort zone for the zodiac challenge this October and create some watercolor portraits. Wish me luck 😂. P.S. this piece turned out amazing 💕

[@imawonder]

YAY, I believe in you!! Also you can always take a picture or scan your sketch before you paint it just in case!

[@iamhodas4616]

Make more of these videos I LOVE IT 🤩❤️✨✨

[@joan_of_snark]

my cheapo canson watercolor paper tends to leave a ring of darker color around my colors and I'm not quite sure why. it's either that or my also fairly cheap watercolors lol

[@Lemu_with_a_shirt]

It's probably a combination of technique, paper and paint, that dark outline is definitely tricky, I haven't mastered it at all myself, but you can train yourself to a better technique and it will happen a lot less.
