    Hey Leila : - A Real "Curve-Ball" Subject/Material This Upload??!...... And, you sound a bit like a kid with a brand new toy = Legit Excited (nice to see + hear!!). This reminds me of 2 things straight away - one of 'em from my hedonistic "rock + roll" past in the 90's. Good luck taking it through airport customs, as - It looks just like Pakistani Hashish !..... the same soft and mushy texture, and exactly the same colour. Obviously, the smell of it would luckily put Mr./Mrs. customs officer at ease (!!). And, I make a custom-mixed lubricant for tuning air rifles - a putty, not a grease - by mixing a very fine mineral powder very similar to graphite called molybdenum, with a small amount of already black "standard" grease : - Like you wisely did = If you handle it without gloves on, it's just a total disaster..... It gets in your pores and under nails, and you look like a right tramp for about a week - however much you wash your hands!!!. Both are harmless, but - just blacker than black (Lamp Black, Mars Black etc. etc.). It's Just Lovely To See A Very Experienced Artist Having Genuine Fun. Indeed as you said, your scope for unique and "one off" patterns and shapes is literally endless. Cool Stuff. Thanks as always Chuck - Great to have you on The 'Tube...... Nick x

    Haha yes ‘rock and roll’ that’s a really good way to describe this material 😆 I didn’t really know what to expect from this and got it because it looked interesting and was on special 😊 the messiness of it is not the best thing but it does seem to wash out quite well. Most art materials are messy so I guess I’m used to it now. Glad you’re enjoying the videos!

    Once again, great stuff Leila! I have found paper is so important for watercolor painting. I have been using cold press 300 gsm / 140 lb. from Arches. A bit pricey but good stuff. Thank you Leila, I've learned much from your tutorials. Watch out for that Kiwi weather...

    I've never painted an apple with watercolors before so I used this video for a little painting session. I followed the tutorial with some cheap Gansai paints and cheap paper. Since I only wanted to do a short painting session, it wasn't much that I was expecting. There was no time to think about the exact color choice, wait for it to dry or pay attention to every detail. My apple was finished just before the end of the tutorial. I skipped the finishing touches. What can I say, I love my apple 🥰 It's more of an old wrinkled apple but it has character and the more I look at it the more I like it. But the best thing about it is the shadow, it turned out just perfect. This spontaneous short painting session was wonderfully relaxing and a great experience for me, completely outside of my comfort zone. Thank you very much 🤗🤗🤗 Btw it took me more time to write this comment than to paint the apple 😂😂😂

    Hey Leila : - 2 uploads in fairly quick succession..... Good Effort. I like the new "overhead" camera angle at the beginning - and very clever how you set in a zoom function at the same time, you must have a decent/high spec. video camera??. The apple you've painted looks like it's been polished, maybe on the upper leg of a pair of trousers? - Something I'm sure people still do before eating it, though I've never seen anyone do this for decades..... I never saw the point of such an action, **it doesnt make them taste any better?!**. Perfect timing to find a new video from you = I'm just prepping for bed, it being 1.50 a.m in England. I loved the hail/thunder storm "featuring" too : - hearing it on the roof/ground when you're warm and dry in a house is a super-"grounded" and alive feeling??, being in a tent when this comes from the heavens is even more cosy and protected-a-sensation..... Thanks Chuck, and - all the best to you as always..... Bye, Nick. P.S : - Glad To See Your Glorious Head Of Hair Hasn't Been Cut - yet anyway (I won't hold it against you if/when you do!!).

    You do beautiful work but in order to really learn are you saying on patreon that we would have to pay 100.00 a month? The 14.00 a month doesn't speak about teaching anything nor do the lower selections. Am I reading this correctly ?

  • @LeilaAtaya
    @LeilaAtaya28 күн бұрын

    It depends on what kind of teaching you’d like to receive. If you want a face to face , one on one learning session with me then it’s 100 for a class. If you’d like to learn through videos and ask questions through messages then I’d say $8 a month is the one to go for. If you’d like to be able to win prizes then go for a 14 a month. There’s a $2 a month too but that gives you access to posts and you can still ask questions. There should be an introduction video but it’s quite old- there are new things now as well like feedback videos and more games etc.

    Hey Flower : - A Great Start To The Weekend !...... It's always a nice treat to find a fresh upload from you, I don't want "notifications" a new one is up - as it's not as pleasant a surprise as physically checking (?!). I love watching waves moving from the land/edge - It's almost hypnotising??. Your picture also reminds me of seeing mountain ranges from an aircraft window?, with the clouds resting in between the peaks??. There was a "scratch" in the paper - near centre - up until about half way through the video..... "That's Going To Be Hard To Remove/Cover Up" I thought..... But, of course with you being a Pro = not an issue at all to get rid of....!. Hope all's well down there, the U.K is **eventually** warming up - we're due 22 degrees and sunshine all day today : - Just a shame I'm not visiting the seaside !!. Bye Leila - Nick.
