The similar painting to this one done on the same paper but with Kuretake paints is here: Abstract Intuitive Botanical Wet in Wet Watercolor with Mixed Media Mark Making Doodles kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKKs3MSoe8WqdKg.html

Listening to the rooster crowing in the background is so delightful! The perfect accompaniment. :)

I really respect something you stated. You were talking about drawing the leaf shapes. You acknowledged a leaf you like using, but, accepted that it was not 'your' shape. Others make it and not something you alone are the creator of it. I turn away from artists very quickly when they claim they invented, created, or are the origin of elements. Recently, I heard someone say that painted open circle was their patented creation. Wow, how old they must be. (lol) Thank you for your grace and honesty.

23:20 I started using a sock instead of a sweat band in place of my watercolor towel. I had so many singleton socks skulking around from my now-adult kids, It was easy to find one with a still-nice clean cotton cuff, trim the foot part off, and use the sock cuff as a wristlet.

It turned out lovely and the paints are very nice! I enjoyed hearing about your daily soup ritual and the broccoli soup sounded delicious. 🥣 How about a cookbook Diane with the ingredients printed over a painting of a primary ingredient like an herb!🌿 💕📕This is the part of your videos that I enjoy about you while you so effortlessly guide us through a new painting adventure.

"Knives"! Oops. Also, nice set of paints! This set is 21% off right now on Amazon US, so from $32 down to $26, then there is a 30% off coupon if you check a box under the price making it about $18.

It is, isn’t it!!!! I was genuinely thrilled to see those colours come alive. I can’t wait to do another landscape like that!

I've recently purchased a tin of derwent inktense ink pencils. I've swatched them all out and really love them when they are used like a watercolour with the paintbrush. It's my birthday so I've had a bundle of art supplies and currently swatching everything so I have a systematic record of the colour and as you said I'm getting used to the medium, how it moves, how much water I need etc. I'm looking forward to finishing swatching and moving onto playtime with all these new goodies. I haven't yet played around in full with the inktense but I've already planned out using it in different ways with watercolour paints, trying dipping the pencil in water first and seeing what sort of line it produces, placing it on wet paper and seeing how much the line difuses, using it as my mark making item for drawing out a design (rather than graphite pencil) and painting in between and seeing how it mixes, plus the colour on colour play you suggested. Can't wait.

You can do it! One of the good things about Gansai Tambi is that you can take it in stages. There is no pressure to finish a painting in one go. So even if you did one fairly large (say half the size of mine) you can stop and start as energy allows. I’m going to do some really small ones soon too, as the little ones make great gift cards and are a lot of fun - even bookmarks work like this don’t they!

I have always taken my Gansai Tambi paints out of their box and replaced them in a more appropriate palette and I would do the same with these ones most likely.
