I liked this tutorial, thanks for sharing!
You are so frigging amazing
Love your work!
How could you not love this mouse? beautifully real looking.
Oh How lovely! Thanks for sharing !
Anna, I always love your paintings…but this one is totally adorable!
You are a great painter! Thank you for sharing..
thank you for a truly inspirational tutorial. I had ‘painters block” now I’m off and away again.
Thank you for this tip video. The mouse is adorable and so life-like amid those green grasses. Will give this technique a go on a bunny rabbit!
I love you work, thanks for sharing!. Regards
Gorgeous.
excellent. thanks. you’re a very thoughtful teacher.
You always give painting tips in a very simplified way. Amazing to see magic of your each brush stroke. Thanks for polishing my inner artist with your lessons.
Anna you are truly an inspiration love your work
SO CUTE!!!! I love painting animals and critters. I love this video! Thank you!
Thank you for the tip video. Inspired by your video, I did a little practice of a puppy this weekend and decided to practice more paintings of animals. Thank you!
Anna, This is my first time to watch any of your tutorials. I have to tell you, it was absolutely amazing! My experience with watercolor is still in the beginner stage, but I aspire to keep learning and practicing, more! I am currently enrolled in an in-person watercolor class. My teacher’s technique is very different from yours, but she is very good! This is the first watercolor class I have ever taken. My former painting experience has been mostly in acrylics, with some oil painting in the past. I also have become quite interested in art journaling, which is interesting and fun! You get to interact with other like-minded artists from all over the world…….how state-of-the-art, we have all become!!!
I haven’t enrolled in your classes yet, but definitely am going to keep this on my list! I seem to love all of everything ! Just before stretching myself a little on the thin side!
Have a wonderful day or evening, depending on where you are, at the moment!
OK – I am inspired now! First I spent the whole day painting a pear (led on by your free tutorial) – it took me nearly 9 hours, but the result was worth the effort. Then I watched your video on painting a hand, and now I see the field mouse. I think I will have to sign up for the school…
So pleased you’re feeling fired up Vivienne!
Hi Anna! I adore this painting and so many of your others! Do you use a light box to transfer the photo image to your watercolour paper in order to paint it?
Hi Anna, just wondering what size brush you used for this mouse? As a beginner, I am wanting to go buy my first fine brushes, and I want to make sure I have the right brush to paint this in the future! Thanks for your amazing work!
Hi Katie, Anna uses a range of different size brushes. You can find out more about Anna’s brushes, the other equipment she recommends and where to buy them on this page here
So impressed, it was wonderful to watch but, unfortunately, I couldn’t benefit from your advice as there are no subtitles and I’m profoundly deaf. Bit frustrating really but loved the finished mouse.
Hi Suzanne, thanks for your feedback. The video does have subtitles if you click where it says ‘CC’ at the bottom of the video screen. I’ve just double-checked that they’re working and they are, so maybe you could try again.
I love this little guy so much. I am not talented enough to paint this little guy but would love to purchase one of your pictures of this one if it’s available. Thank you.
