阿尼亚·图尔帕诺娃 shared some favorite watercolor tips and tricks.

Here’s a Q&A with Aña:

你为什么创作艺术？
I do it because I can’t otherwise. Only because I really want to create.

你画画多久了？
I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember myself. My mom draws and she passed it to me from an early age. I started painting with watercolor in 2015.

你接受过正规的艺术训练吗？
Unfortunately no, although I always wanted to. Instead I studied, and still keep taking private classes from different artists.

你是职业艺术家还是业余爱好者？
I would like to call it semi-professional. It is my source of income, but not the only one.

什么能激励你？
Traveling inspires me the most. I love to see the cultural mixes, imperfections in people’s lives in different corners of our beautiful world. The pandemic period was very difficult for me.

你画画的时候喜欢听什么类型的音乐？
It depends on the mood. It doesn’t have to be music. Often I listen to podcasts or even watch movies.

你有没有过导师？
No, but I have a couple of very important people who helped me a lot and to whom I will always be very grateful.

你每天都画画吗？
Yes, I try to paint at least a bit every day.

你是一次只画一幅画，还是同时画好几幅？
Sometimes I work on a few paintings in parallel. If it is a large format – then just that one.

你更喜欢在画室里作画还是在户外写生？
I prefer the studio, but I also adore my sketchbooks of my memories from different locations.

你们使用了多少种核心颜色？
Ultramarine, Burnt Sienna and Yellow Ochre – the rest depends on the subject.

管状、盘状还是棒状？
Tubes, but sticks are useful for traveling.

你如何判断你的作品是否完成？
When it starts to look worse than a minute ago. :-)
