A Simple Tree - Watercolour Demonstration by PETER WOOLLEY 

a nice painting with a realistic look of nature.... I'll try it soon........

While I greatly enjoy your art instruction videos I could listen to you talk all day no matter the subject.

this video was EXCELLENT !

trees are the most beautiful things in nature

I am a beginner in my older years loving your calm teachings hoping to relax + enjoy thank you

great lesson, so detailed, best on YT. Others afraid even to show they pallet, let along to share the paint they use. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

Simply beautiful and realistic. I love your flow and ease of technique, for lack of better words! I've started applying these techniques and it's so freeing because I can either leave it simple as in background trees or add some detail in the leaves and trunk for the foreground trees. They all look beautiful! Thanks!

Comes out wonderfully

Hello Peter :) this is one of the first watercolour painting videos I've watched as I'm about to start painting today. Thank you for taking your time to make this video and for sharing your ideas and techniques.

That brush keeps a tip beautifully. And I've never used rough arches, but after this i might have to try it -- it holds the color beautifully.

woow!! simple and beautiful... the way things should be in life!!

My arts teacher actually showed us this, and we had to use this video for our ''Tree Project''. I sucked at it, but great video!

The way he stroke the brush is just perfect

Hi demonada Three tones of green: Light Tone: Cadmium Yellow + Prussian Blue Mid-Tone: Cadmium Yellow + French Ultramarine Dark Tone: Cadmium Yellow + French Ultramarine + Burnt Umber Look out for the drop-down labels in the video... The paper I use in the demo is Arches 140lb Rough Cheers Peter

This is such a helpful video.. Thanks for uploading and please keep it up. God bless.

Thanks, Peter, for an excellent demonstration - so clearly explained and so helpful. Will be looking out for your DVDs!

Outstanding.......I love watercolor painting!

Hi Jasanna. Hard edges are usually created when water pushes the pigment to a shape's outer edges. Best solution is to just run your brush along the edge of your mixing palette after loading it up, and before applying it, to remove excess moisture. Hope that helps.

simple, yet awesome!

So simple and so beautiful... I wish I had your talent...

I love it😊 I absolutely love this tutorial, I want to subscribe and see more! Many thanks, mate.

Great work I love it thx

Hi Peter, thank you for this great little tutorial. Just over a week ago I've restarted watercolours again (after a hiatus of 20 years), and I won't say it's flooding back to me, but all your explanations trigger memories buried in the archives upstairs! :) I've done 3 paintings since I've restarted and I gained both confidence and proficiency with each stroke. Thank you for this little tutorial, tomorrow I am going to do a drill on how to paint different types of trees with different techniques and I like this one immensely. A request for some advice if I may - I'm going on holiday to Umhlanga (South Africa) in a week, and I want to do quick watercolour scenes in a notebook (to practice speed painting) - if you could kindly give your recommendations on 3 notebooks in the mid range. Secondly, I see you use those little tray sets (instead of paint tubes), does it not bother you that the paints get mixed? I am a little paranoid about that and I am not yet confidently versed in the behaviour of the mixed paints in such a way (my paranoia stems from my lengthy use and understanding of fountain pens and the plethora of inks). Your advice hereto would be sincerely appreciated. With Regards, Parti.

C'est Magnifque, Merci!

Lovely!

This is very helpful. Oh my gahr. I dont know what are the right pigments to mix. I mix my own greens but my tree doesnt look good. This light mid etc tone helped me a lot. God Bless! Thanks a lot! ♡

simple and strong method *Subscribed* :)

Thank you so much. I save your videos and am thinking about subscribing to your online course😊

and use a rest of watercolour for end a hill, whit a profesional terminacion! is a best work

You make it seem so easy >.

Thank you!

All you have to do is use 3 different green shades in the Prang watercolor 16 color tray. Don't get complicated with yourself with all those pre-mixing color.
