감탄, 또 감탄 하고 가요. 인물이.. 수채화 특징 그대로 맑고 투명하게 표현되었어요. 한글이 영어로 번역 될 때를 생각해 최대한 점잖게 표현했어요.^^

I can’t remember the video, but you mentioned the quest for the perfect red and ended up with a lot of reds! Yeah, me too! Right now, Schmincke has THE RED to end all searches. If I’d had this historical hue when I began watercolor painting, I’d only have made one purchase of red. Not kidding. It’s their limited edition vintage cochineal red. It’s not vegan, if you know the history of the color. But I got it at Jackson’s and because it’s on sale right now, I’m about to order two more tubes (I never want to run out). At its most concentrated, it’s a deep, bright, carmine red (but without any purplish tones at its darkest), and as it’s diluted out to mainly water (you can still get a sweet pink when you’re using what amounts to dirty paint water, basically), it becomes the most perfect, pale, unassuming pink.
I get nothing by sharing this info… except for knowing I tried!
You’re an amazing artist! ❤

I’m going to subscribe to your Patreon for the just to see the portraiture. I’m interested in all aspects of portraits. I’d really love to see how you’d approach wrinkles, bags underneath eyes and blemishes on the skin.

I appreciate your style of instructing.

Anna thank you very much for this. Please do more portraits. This is fantastic. God bless your work. Please keep it coming. God bless you Susan ❤❤❤

Yes it's true. This is nota at all easy. Thanks for your support ❤

Thank you ma'am

Hello Anna ! I absolutely adore your content ! Thank you so much for posting those vibrant watercolors...
I wanted to ask you, which size are you using for the escoda brushes? They look so handy and perfect for all those detailed paintings. Thank you so much :)

Watercolor painting looks beautiful.❤

I hope you release more videos about drawing people. Tks!

Thank you so much for this video! It is extremely helpful! Would love to learn more about your color choices when painting the skin tones, especially as you get into the shadow areas.

Hello. Are you related to the artist Rita Bucciarelli?

Beautiful! I’m wondering what blue is similar to ultramarine? I’m trying to avoid granulation on the skin. Thanks!

Hi Anna! been loving all your videos! thank. u for sharing us ur wisdom! Just wondering if u know the Polina Bright brushes? and would u be able to review them for us Thank u🥰

You had me worried for a minute or two Anna, I thought you were going to leave that big dark shadow that looked like she had a giant bruise on the right side of her forehead. lol! I should have known better! As always the painting ended up beautiful in the end. What an amazingly beautiful green eyed little girl. I had green eyes as a child, they later turned brown as I got older and my blonde hair darkened to brown. Green eyes are the least common eye color, and always my favorite eye color.

She is so beautiful and your painting is so well done and thankyou so much for the instructions.
Your work is always so wonderful❤❤❤

Beautiful portrait and very helpful tutorial!

Love this, please do more portraits!! I'm signing up for your patreon after seeing this. 😍

Beautiful!

amazing Tutorial, best explained I've ever seen , Thank you. ❤

Extremely grateful for this lesson Anna! You make it look so easy and inspiring to paint portraits! Hopefully I will be able to give it a try soon!

Definitely SO INTERESTED in watercolor portrait painting! Please do more!

You are very skilled at portraits. QUESTION: Is there a book about portrait drawing / painting you would recommend?

Outstanding clarity and quality of explanation, priceless, thank you very much for this.

This is such a beautiful portrait!! I should really try portraits in watercolour, which I find really difficult compared to pastels or colour pencils - maybe the key is really a limited palette, so I will experiment with my 6 colour travel palette now. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

OM🌟 ! I never even knew you painted portraits! I'm THRILLED to see this video! You're such a fantastic teacher & my main goal with watercolor is realistic portraits. To learn this from you is more than I expected. TYSM😊

I would love to see dark skin as the next topic. Also I seem to prefer artists who pain dark skin with a purple undertone or a variety of as opposed to using a variety of browns. The layers of brown pain make the subject seem lifeless. As you used multiple colors on her skin, I'd like to see the colors you choose when painting rich warm dark skintones. Like a cinnamon skintone.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤❤❤❣

You are such a talented artist

Anna, you don’t know how long I’ve waited for you to paint some portrait for us. Please, I beg you, paint some more and show us you tips and tricks for it. Very, very happy. Thank you

Thanks you for such a thoughtful video.

Beautiful work ‼️🖼🎨🖌️. Thx for being so transparent in your instruction. Very helpful information 👏‼️

Your generosity as an instructor fills me with profound respect and so much gratitude. 🙏 Thank you for making such rich instruction available to even the poorest among us. 💗 There are many great YT artists and instructors out there, and I appreciate them all, but you bring a unique something-something that I really treasure. Thank you for the privilege of learning from you.

I think we're past the fact that her voice is angelic already, but THESE VIDEOS?! so helpful, informative and inspiring, whenever I watch them, my hands start itching to create something new. Thanks Anna, you're a blessing to this platform!

Thank you for this Sunday treat. Is there anything you cannot do? The clarity of your instruction spurs encouragement in attempting these feats ❤

You make it look so easy... beautiful.

Beautiful both your painting and the subject. Would love the see you paint a more mature face also how you would paint some subjects in monochrome. I always learn so much from you, watching you paint is kind of magical. Thank you.

Beautiful! Thank you for all your help. Your work is incredibly wonderful.
