Diane

Sounds like fun. How do we join?

Cindy Moothart

I can't make it at that time, will it be recorded?

Koko

This is truly wonderful. For the first time I'm able to make it. What is the time zone for it?

Koko

Ooops. I see it now. Thank you. Please disregard.

Koko

Darn...its today. Bummer. 😞

Carol Francis

Wish I could be there. Working gal. If you can record that would be awesome. Love 😘 be love your work. Ever apply your work to landscapes? Can you do any portraiture this Fall?

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you! A link will be generated and it will come to your email at noon - just click on it like a regular video ☺️

Anna Bucciarelli

It’s a first one for me too - I am a little nervous but excited to meet everyone “virtually” 🥰

Anna Bucciarelli

It’s my first time, but I believe yes the recording stays here and will be available 🥰

Koko

Now I see why I was confused. At tje top of the announcement it says the 26 and at the bottom it says the 25...typo.

Koko

I'm excited to meet you as well!

Diane

Thank you! I'm not sure if you can address this tomorrow, but I do have one continuing issue as I follow your tutorials. My paint dries SO FAST. I use Arches 100% cotton and Qor synthetic ox gall in my water. I'm always amazed at how long your paint stays wet on the paper, for lifting, etc. With AC in the summer and heat in the winter, maybe the air is just always too dry (I live in Virginia). Or maybe I never use enough water.

Christine

Hi Anna, this sounds fab, I’ll certainly try to make it! And I have a question for you: I’m always fascinated by how you are able to continue adding colours over several minutes, creating such a rich and varied overall effect. My paints seem to dry too quickly for me to achieve a similar effect – unless I’m really quick. I keep wondering if I’m not controlling the water levels in my paints sufficiently, or should use different paper. I also saw that someone mentioned ox gall on a comment to you, and I read that that helps control paint dispersion – is that the key? I’d love it if you could speak about water and paper and drying times. Many thanks!

Christine

PS Looking forward to seeing your lovely wee cat too 🤩🎨

Sammie Bryant

I will definitely try to be there, sounds like fun! Btw, I hope this pumpkin is a future tutorial, I absolutely love it and have since you first showed it.

Heike

I have to work and will miss it. Will I be able to watch it later?🙄

Catherine Brader

I'd love to attend, but can only be there for a few minutes. I hop it is recorded, and we get a link. What app is loaded by the QR?

Cindy Price

I’m so sad that I will be working but I will watch the video!

Jojo

excited to see the new studio!😍

Koko

QUESTION: Is using a projector the only way to enlarge one of your pencil sketches from an 8.5 X 11 to a 12 X 12?

Yvette

Thank you Anna for inviting me I will be glad to attend are you going to send a link?

Mark aka Pappy

I’m very excited! I have to be at work at that time, but can I watch it afterwards? It’s hard to think of a question because you are so generous with your skills and instructions in your book and Patreon! I am trying to complete my go-to watercolor palette, leaning towards primarily Daniel Smith to replace my Winsor & Newton as needed (though I find I prefer W&N Indigo). Why do you choose QoR over DS on similar pigments? Also what is your favorite reliable lightfast pink when you’re not using opera pink?

Mark aka Pappy

Also can’t wait to see your new studio!

Sharon March

Don’t see a place to connect. Are you sending a link?

Yakshini P.

Hi Anna, my question is regarding painting birds. I always find that the tiny strokes that I add to try and mimic feathers end up looking too graphic (too noticeable as strokes, of you get what I'm saying) while your feather-like strokes seem more natural. Is there any way to make those finishing strokes look less graphic?

Jean Daniels

There is probably a better way but roughly (I did this and it worked) Open Powerpoint: copy image onto powerpoint slide then grab picture and right click> click format size> change height and width (10x10 or 11x11 if you want a taped border). Line up the expanded image to the PP slide upper left corner and print. Do the same for all four corners, printing after each. Take printouts and piece together to match up the layers cutting away duplicate excess of overlays. Using least amount of tape, connect so that tape does not interfere with transfer. I would use graphite paper for transfer when using this method. It may seem like a PIA. But it is not as tedious as it sounds.

Denise Young

Is there a full tutorial for that pumpkin anywhere?

Cynthia

Hi Denise, you should be able to find it on YouTube, it was originally posted a year ago.

Denise Young

It saus there's a full tutorial and outline on patreon, that's what I am looking for.

Suelen

This super exciting! I’ll be working but I’ll try to be there!

Ve Butler

Oooh excited! Will you send a link hun? X

Cristina

Wonderful.Where is the link?

Kobie

O I lokes forwarde to it.

Kobie

I can’t see the link

Carrie

I'm here at work and I'm wondering if it will be able to be played again later? I may not be able to join in if there are other people here... like my boss. LOL

Dee

Would the live be recorded? It will be 2am where I am in Australia

Mirabelle

Can you talk about how you developed your personal style and chose colors for your palette?

Ashley

I have a request. For your future tutorials, I would really like to see your brush to palette showing what you are meaning by watery pigment more saturated pigment because I believe this is crucial for the newer beginner watercolors like myself. Would really like to see what you’re talking about you putting your brush to your pallet when you’re grabbing your colors being more visual would help tremendously. Watching as many of your tutorials that I have, I know that this question has been asked before. Thank you

Ashley

This is blue pumpkin and here in Patreon. Just search blue pumpkin

Sabrina Peart

Where can we find the LINK? Looking forward to it!

Amy P

Unfortunately, I have another meeting to attend. I would really like to know what your inspiration is when deciding on a painting.

Janene Mendalka

Hello to all :) How do we join the live session?

Janene Mendalka

Thanks so much! I am a self-taught colored pencil artist in my spare time. I accidentally came across a Youtube video of your and fell in love with your paintings : )

Jojo

Can’t wait! At work but thank god my boss is not here today haha

Ashley

The link is still showing that it is one day away on September 27 not today the 26th

Jojo

The count went all the way to 0 and then started again from 24h. I think Anna is gonna connect any moment now.

Debbie

Hi Ashley - where IS the link?

Jojo

Scroll down a bit. Anna posted the link in the comments

Debbie

I'm on the link but the timer is at Zero, no video. Looking forward to this! <3

Ashley

Just seeing this after it’s over. I hope you made it. So sorry I didn’t see before it began.

Sammie Bryant

It's not a full tutorial, it's just a few mins long. I've been wanting a full length on that one too. It's the best looking composition, I love it!

Denise Young

I think in the live today she said a full tutorial was coming for it. Sure hope I heard correctly! 🙏

Beckie Siganto

yes i am struggling with this as well, especially when you change mid stroke from one colour to the other

evelyne giovannoni

Was so interesting and to know you a little more thank you

Terry

I missed the live show Anna. Can I watch it.

Kathleen Highaam

Will you be teaching the blue pumpkin picture? I’d love to learn the texture technique on it.

Anna Bucciarelli

You are in! Thank you Nancy :) I hope you enjoy the replay (and the rest of the tutorial content).

Anna Bucciarelli

Hi Kathleen, The blue pumpkin image is from a demo I shared last year — you can find it, along with the outlines, in the Demo Collection here: https://www.patreon.com/collection/425559. This month’s tutorial will be a larger composition featuring several pumpkins — including a blue one where I repeat and narrate the same technique! 🙂 Have a wonderful day, and if you ever have any questions, the best way to reach me is through the Patreon Direct Message feature. I may occasionally miss comments in the shuffle of updates, but I always make sure to respond to Patron DMs every Friday!

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you, Amy — that’s such a great question! I had written down some notes but didn’t get a chance to cover it during the hour, as I was probably a little nervous and also trying to keep up with the live chat. I’ll make sure to start with this in our next session! Have a wonderful day!

Nancy Karnes

Anna, I dont see the link to the replay/tutorial on the FB Group page. Any particular place I should look? Discussions? I checked Media......

Mary-Anne Buist

Missed the live but I just went in to join the Paint with Anna Bee as well. Have your book 101 Watercolor Secrets and love love it. Perhaps may just have to join Patreon if funds permit.

Linda Garcia

I just joined your Patreon and would love to access the Paint with Anna Bee.

Anna Bucciarelli

elcome, Linda! I just saw you request on Facebook — I’m so glad you’ve joined the group! 😊 Enjoy the videos, and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. The best way to get in touch with me is through Patreon Direct Messages — while comments often get lost in the shuffle of update, the DMs go straight to my email, and I make sure to reply to these every Friday. Thank you so much for being here, and have a wonderful day! 🌿

Alita Phelps

I would like to join your next watercolor chat when will it be and how do I join?

Diane Shields

Hi Anna- I’m having trouble with my Patreon account. I’m guessing it’s because I started in the Cobalt Blue tier and needed to upgrade to a new tier. I checked with my both cc companies on the account and they haven’t blocked any payments. Anyway, I want to upgrade to the Emerald green tier and pay annually. Every other way I could find to contact you was blocked! Please help!!

Anna Bucciarelli

Hi Diane, I emailed you directly just now and I also copied Patreon Support so they can help us trouble shoot. Thank you! Anna

Yakshini P.

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand. What/where is the discord?
