阿尼亞·圖爾帕諾娃 shared some favorite watercolor tips and tricks.

Here’s a Q&A with Aña:

為什麼創作藝術？
I do it because I can’t otherwise. Only because I really want to create.

你畫畫多久了？
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.

你接受過正規的藝術訓練嗎？
Unfortunately no, although I always wanted to. Instead I studied, and still keep taking private classes from different artists.

你是職業藝術家還是業餘愛好者？
I would like to call it semi-professional. It is my source of income, but not the only one.

什麼能激勵你？
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.

你畫畫的時候喜歡聽什麼類型的音樂？
It depends on the mood. It doesn’t have to be music. Often I listen to podcasts or even watch movies.

你有沒有過導師？
No, but I have a couple of very important people who helped me a lot and to whom I will always be very grateful.

你每天都畫畫嗎？
Yes, I try to paint at least a bit every day.

你是一次只畫一幅畫，還是同時畫好幾幅？
Sometimes I work on a few paintings in parallel. If it is a large format – then just that one.

你喜歡在畫室裡作畫還是在戶外寫生？
I prefer the studio, but I also adore my sketchbooks of my memories from different locations.

你們使用了多少種核心色？
Ultramarine, Burnt Sienna and Yellow Ochre – the rest depends on the subject.

管狀、盤狀還是棒狀？
Tubes, but sticks are useful for traveling.

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