I'm so happy I found your channel. I've been learning for a while and got kind of burned out with the repetition: autumn foliage again, field of wildflowers again, mountain range at sunset again. These are beautiful images, but I lost my way since I didn't see the point of producing all these stock and cliched paintings. You always have a very real mood and purpose, and you draw this out. You use composition and light and color and tone and so many other techniques to do this. It's an inspiration to be reminded that art can evoke emotions in this way. Painting does serve a purpose. I'm taking it back up and looking for ways to express things I'm feeling rather than representing a landscape just because it exists.
Wonderful to see the light, the large shapes tying it together, and the atmosphere that glows through there. It does look like a favorite coffee shop. Looking forward to the next painting demo in the series. Thank you so much for spending this time with us.
Thank you Gary for another painting created from everyday life, who would have thought just sitting in a coffee shop would provide inspiration, as artists we spend so much time looking for something to paint, the perfect scene or composition, when all we have to do is get our sketchbook out over a coffee, you make the complicated very paintable!
You are without doubt a master at playing with light Gary, and worst still, you make it look easy. I love it and I also like how you explain everything you do. Brilliant and thank you.
Thank you Gary, a good set of points to think about. The centre of interest being one, and what exactly we want to say in a painting . Sometimes that goes by the way because we are preoccupied with getting the sketch done correctly and often too much like the reference photo. One thing I've certainly learned to focus on and that's the LIGHT. Your paintings always have a wonderful light source guiding the eye.
well said Barbara, we do become preoccupied with matching our motif - at some point we know enough about our subject - and we become able to improvise and think more about the stability of the painting...
Thank you Gary for a very helpful demonstration , you explain it all so well and I love the finished painting .Watching you you create wonderful light and atmosphere is what I want to achieve so many many thanks for explaining clearly how to obtain this result .
I tend to try and copy an artist's work as a foundation to my version of a painting. I don't seem to have the vision to see a scene and create property. You have the ability to develop a interesting point of view, and then render a work of art. Bravo to another painting.
Thank you so much Gary. This is a very comprehensive video, full of composition, center of interest, shades, darks and lights. Beyond all of these it contains a very beautiful conversation of you. You are a great teacher. Best regards, stay safe.
Enjoyed the process very much. Thank you for sharing your insight. It is a bummer that Loell Cornell no longer will be making a #8 pointed round anymore. I look forward to the next video. Thank you.😁
Love this painting , to be honest all your paintings I have seen. I’ve not long been water colour painting or any painting in fact but I love it and am getting better with every time I paint . I have have only recently found your channel and it’s my favourite. My fav artists are Joseph zubavic and David Taylor but you are quickly becoming my favourite. I am trying to keep my palette small for now while I get use to mixing colours could you tell me what you think would be the most important to start off with say six colours . Thank you
Fantastic video as always (bit of an autocorrect in your materials list though … unless you actually use Cancel Smith watercolours and W&N ultramarathon Blue 😂)
@@GaryTuckerArtist What is the shade of blue paint for the bottle? The materials list shows Ultramarine as the only blue but the bottle looks way too light to be ultramarine.
