Hello Everyone
+This is a watercolor painting demonstration recorded in real time. In this video, I emphasize ways of simplifying complex urban paintings. I also cover intention, composition, value design, atmosphere, and color scheme - as well as interpretation, formatting, narrative, drawing, sketching, perspective, etc.
+The subject is an aerial view taken from the Roosevelt Island Tram of the Queensborough Bridge (The 59th Street Bridge ) looking west toward Manhattan.
Thanks for watching!
Tom

I cant promise you'll be able to draw with this elite level of perspective but Matthew Brehm wrote the definitive book on learning all the different types and drawing them. Beautiful drawing and painting as always.

Amazing! Thank you so much Sir to share your wonderful work.

@lizhopewell0507 16 дней назад

I love the way your just flick that brush for the dry brush effects and the colours all blend flawlessly. Not sure this has been simplified, or at least not for me. Enjoyed watching.😊

@LizHolmArt 16 дней назад

Such a treat to watch you paint, but even more so, to listen to you explaining what and why. Love your relaxing voice, and the way you speak.

Thomas, Literally a towering piece of work! Your expertise in terms of describing the subtleties applied to what at face value appears incredibly detailed and complex, is appreciated and very welcome. I've always been put off attempting scenes as complicated as this, but I think you've given enough guidance to pull back from working out how to draw and then paint every nut and bolt to do these kind of structures justice. Brilliant demonstration, hugely entertaining - thank you once again.

I love the technical architectural pieces too. Straight, crisp lines are gorgeous. Wonky lines are okay too, particularly for urban sketching. But this type of drawing is great and looks great!

@thomaswschaller 16 дней назад

Thanks - I like both ways too

@cherietooms8961 День назад

The tone variations in the stone work under the bridge and the shadow on the water are breathtaking. I recently purchased one of your signature brushes and have to say I am in love. I will be getting some of the smaller ones next. Thank you for demonstrating this painting.

@cherietooms8961 15 часов назад

Do you have recommendations for which sizes are useful? I have the #4

@thomaswschaller 15 часов назад

@@cherietooms8961 The #4 is a good-sized - largish mop . I use it quite often. The smaller ones are particularly useful as well #0 or even 3X#0 if you do more detailed work

@pamelabozzi239 16 дней назад

I really enjoyed hearing your comments about your thinking as you work through you painting. Nice to see that it's OK to sometimes work through connecting shadows even if you have not done the lighter local in that area. Saw that you were very careful about meeting up edges.

@thomaswschaller 15 дней назад

i prefer to lap shapes over shapes rather than meet edges whenever possible

if you keep it wet - you can paint at any speed you like

@c.reyesc.6709 17 дней назад

thanks, mr Schaller. Most people keep their knowledge as dim as possible. You, in contrast, make it shine. Maybe another example of your beloved light and dark style

Wow 😲 very much looking forward to this tutorial. Thank you 🙏😊 from Brisbane, Australia. We have our Story Bridge that I will have a go at after studying your method, Thomas 😊

@thomaswschaller 18 дней назад

the story bridge is a beauty! similar design in a way

@LiNa-cn6mu 17 дней назад

Yes, it's very similar in its construction. I've painted it a few times en plein air, trying to work out how to depict the structure without overworking either the subject, or myself 😅

@bernardchan1166 15 дней назад

I’m in awe of your drawing prowess and the use of watercolour to bring it brilliantly to life. Thank you for sharing these videos. I’m a fan ! I do have 2 questions: 1. What’s your favourite flat brush to achieve the skid marks? 2. What is the “violet” paint that was used in many parts of this piece?

@thomaswschaller 15 дней назад

thanks so much - my fav flats for drybrush effects are all by Escoda - Versatil Series for the larger and Perla Series for the smaller. And I use Mineral Violet by Holbein mostly. Sometimes Imperial Purple by Daniel Smith

Maniacal drawing indeed! Raining in NYC? Thankfully it is pouring down here in Wyoming. The forest fires have been really bad this summer. Got to take Cat to the vet; we look forward to watching the rest of your video soon as I get back. Thank you as always.

@carolannefisher1516 17 дней назад

Quick Question…how long has the tram line been there? I don’t remember it at all. Born and raised in Boston but grandparents lived in Ridgewood NYC so I spent a lot of my youth in NYC. I’m especially fond of your paintings in which you let the pencil do a lot of the work. Brilliant!

@thomaswschaller 17 дней назад

@@carolannefisher1516 It was designed and proposed around 1970 and opened in 1976 I think . The bridge itself dates from about 1910

Simply spectacular! I also love this bridge and saw it in person for the first time a couple of months ago. I need to ridge the tram next time. Thank you for sharing your process. How did you create such an awesome pencil drawing with great scale to it? I am also an artist and architect. You are inspiring me to break out my drawing board and parallel rule. :)

@thomaswschaller 17 дней назад

Thanks so much - I just drew it directly on the paper - adapting the view quite a bit as I designed it

@jcline147 17 дней назад

I have a question. When looking at a photograph, it’s pretty easy to see where the darkest values are if you were to do a painting from the photograph. When you’re sitting down and just creating something from your imagination…is there a specific tip that you could give that might help guide ones decision-making as to where to put the darkest value? Take for instance…a “mountain waterfall” scene. As I am creating this in my imagination …finding the right place for the darkest value to pull the eye in often seems daunting.

@thomaswschaller 17 дней назад

Sure. Usually, I think about the center of interest. This is where the darkest and lightest values will be located. Then everything else in the painting can begin to fade a bit . So if you just think about the main focus of the painting - the "star of the show" - it's a good bet that this is where the most value and contrast will be found

@jcline147 17 дней назад

@@thomaswschallerthank you. That makes a lot of sense. ….and OK, so …if what draws the eye into the painting is the waterfall itself, the water is going to be basically white or pale, greenish blue…so the dark values would have to be the rocks underneath the waterfall at the base of the waterfall or on the cliff to the side of the waterfall… does that sound like the right direction?

@thomaswschaller 17 дней назад

@@jcline147 depends on the overall comp of course, but I'd try to use almost no paint on the water itself and keep the cliffs on either side nearest the top fairly dark - the base - I'm guessing - wants to look misty - so no dark there

@jcline147 16 дней назад

@@thomaswschaller thank you ..and yes ..that puts me on the right road. Believe me….I have engraved on the inner portion of my eyelids that which you taught me when I first found your YT tutorials….”we don’t paint the light.” 😂 …thank you for your help.
