Nothing wrong with mixing art and science.. Two of my top three favorite things ! ( oh.. the other? .. Banana splits and/or brownies.. Two out of three ain't bad) ; ] I love how you explained the subject .. very informative and helpful ! Really a great video.. ** Side note.. Cannon Beach .. oh my word .. Heaven on Earth ! great place to illustrate your points.
Thank you, Eric. I am currently attempting to achieve more depth in my watercolor painting. Your explanation and demonstration is very informative and helpful. I have gained so much from your RU-vid videos. Your explanations are detailed and easy to understand.
Eric, you read my mind. I was in Cannon Beach/Tolovanna the weekend before last and ever since I’ve been trying to paint Arcadia beach, which is one beach south of Cannon Beach. I have failed miserably twice, all the while I’ve been looking for a tutorial on how to paint misty beach scenes, couldn’t find any. Just sunny beaches! And here you are painting almost the exact same beach that I’m trying to paint. Unbelievable! It sounds like you were possibly even there the same weekend that we were, May 15th through 17th. I hope you liked it as much as my family does. We always stay at the Tolovanna Inn next to Mo’s. Thanks for the great tutorial, maybe with your great tutorial my 3rd attempt will be a keeper.
Thank you Eric for this wonderful demonstration. Your presence in my mind dispels the fear factor. I just feel like painting after watching your videos. What could be more important than this? Love to you Eric 🌷
Amazing explanations Eric!! I have a science mind so I liked it more than just the short facts 😃 I'm trying to use this in my illustrations and I think they are very important. Your painting looks amazing! I'm painting mostly fantasy art so I have to think about this depth in my mind before I put it on paper... But this kind of paintings are great for an inspiration. Thank you for sharing 💗🤗💗
Just amazing! It's watercolor at its best! Usually I watch your videos thinking I will try to paint the same pic, but then I don't like copying so I decide to find a similar photo and employ your techniques, but this one is too tempting so I'm gonna give it a try. 😀 between your vids and Young Chen's my painting is much improved. Thanks so much!
Whenever I watch your videos, it fill me with calm and inspire me a lot to continue improving my techniques. Thank you for helping us improve our watercolor art!
This is beautiful work. I paint with acrylics but I watch videos in watercolour and oil, too; specifically ones that deal with techniques and tips because they are universal (and/or adaptable) to all artwork. Thank you so much for your clear commentary and for sharing your knowledge and skill with others.
Eric I was so happy to hear you visited my state. We all love Canon Beach and all the coast which is completely open to the public (no private ownership of the beach is allowed in Oregon). I have painted similar scans myself but of course you do a better job. Thank you.
Thank you Eric, this was very helpful. Your explanation of depth is very useful seeing that I am a beginner and struggle with elements like that. It is a lovely painting and I think you captured the scene very well
03:11 anything we do systematic are science, in that manner water colour painting, techniques, strokes etc falls under science. In someway it is a science channel too.😊😊
Hmm this was interesting maybe when I take photo on landscape hmm maybe I'll get into drawing and painting it hmm I had a nack of drawing but maybe I could still because like they say never to late try hmm it really helps to something to get a little inspiration from hmm thanks Eric hopefully on day I'll make something out of this.
Thanks, Eric. You make it look easy and I know how hard it really is. I love the grainy texture you achieved on the large rock. Was that the color combination you used? I think burnt sienna and cobalt can create that?
Most learners are 'foggy' about how to create depth & dimension in their paintings... Thanks for helping to clear the 'fog' in our learners' heads by painting this foggy one! Lol
Eric, did I hear you to say that all the figures’ heads were more or less on the same plane? I can see that the size of the figures reinforces the depth illusion, but I had never thought about the heads being more or lesson the same plane....?
@@Cafewatercolor yes ur are absolutely right ..but sometimes i dont know which combinations u used for ur painting ... Just tell us that u mix that and that colour for particular objects
I like water colour,but some of my peers and family are always advising me go fro oil medium and they say artistical and structural paintings can be created only by the oil medium .what do you think I need to do .give some advice to me please
I personally think if you can somewhat master watercolor , the other mediums will seem like a piece of cake . Watercolor I believe takes more control and know when to let water do alot of the work
I am your biggest fan and would love to offer you our guest bedroom and bath if you ever want to paint in washington State . We have a very picturesque farm and mountain view’s
