▶︎Free Video Lesson: 8 Ways to Avoid Overworking Your Watercolor Painting www.learntopaintwatercolor.co...
When I first picked up watercolor, I thought the best way to learn was to complete a painting each time I sat down to paint. Whether it was stubbornness or a way to prove to myself I was capable, I just felt like I had to render an entire scene.
What I found over time was I grew the most when I painted small and often.
Sometimes I just focused on one particular area I was trying to improve in. By repeatedly taking the time to paint something like a sky, figures, or trees, I began to see improvement in those areas. This, then, was reflected in my finished paintings.
Watercolor requires such a sense of timing. The more time you spend practicing the basics and focusing on specific techniques, the more improvement you will see.
With this in mind, I recorded a simple demo that touches on a few key skills: painting wet-into-wet, positive and negative painting, and finding connections.
I hope you enjoy this tutorial! Keep coming back to the basics. You’ll be a better painter for it.

I am beginner and I followed step by step this video did 3 this painting the same evening, I am sooo happy with the results, you've made it very clear and easy to learn and understand the concept so I can apply them to any other paintings I do. And this gaven me a lot of confidence which is the most valuable take away here, to me! I appreciated it a lot! Thank you 💟 And my friends couldn't believe it was my first boat picture! 😄 I live on an island, sky sea and boats are what I wish to paint more.

Long time water color painter here, but away from it for the past 4 years. I enjoy seeing what I've missed. I've gotten away from true watercolor painting, trying to paint EXACTLY what's there, instead of letting the paint show me the way. (former student of Terry Madden)

Turning a photo upside down instantly changes the mind from identifying observed objects to identifying shapes of size - value and placement ! Best wishes and happy painting 🙏

And I love the results you get with rough paper. I’ve been using CP and it’s nice but I think I’ll move to rough to get those definitions due to the “valleys and mountains” in the paper

Thank you for this, I will watch again and try to follow along! I love your artistic style (I’m especially drawn to your green based landscapes) and your nice clearly explained video presentation style (I spent ages looking for artists who fulfilled both) Do you have more beginners lessons? There are so many videos it’s hard to find easier ones to start with. My mum did lots of watercolour painting but she passed away very unexpectedly a couple of years ago. I so wish I had asked her to teach me. I kept her paints, brushes and paper but am finding it very hard to start when I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t think you group your lessons into playlists for level or type unless I’m looking in the wrong place? Thanks again, your pictures soothe me somehow.

i am new to the watercolor world .. I followed the tutorial, and I am happy with my results... Thank you for the very clear instructions. I still need to work on the color mixing till I can reach the correct tones that I want. A recurrent problem is that the middle of the paper always dries faster ... especially if it has lighter colors, like the water around the bout for example. The DAMP phase of the paper is so short that I don't get to take full advantage of it.

I’m painting along - so far so good. When you say “ for the most part dry” Matthew, could you be more specific? . I just started the land mass when I realised it wasn’t dry and spreading. Panic. Just in time to stop. Whew, it turned out better than my usual. Thanks Matthew.

Love this but I wish you would tell us what colors you’ll be using up front. As a beginner time is not on our side. Me having my colors ready ahead of time helps me to focus on your tutorial wo feeling pressured to get the colors (I may not even have) ready before the paint dries.

I painted it! I had a hard time with the water, because I don't have Raw Sienna or Lavender, and I couldn't get my brushstrokes like yours no matter how hard I tried. But overall it came out OK, although not as nice as yours of course.

@yikes7607
@yikes7607 Год назад
At 12:55, at that point is it only damp because of the water you carry on the brushes? Is it still wet on wet then? I'm asking because previously you said you let it all dry before continuing the work. And just another newbie question if you don't mind: if you re-wet the paper after it dried, would the colours from that first layer move again as if they were fresh, or would they have settled? I realise these are probably very basic questions x) Anyway thanks for the tutorial!
@freizeitvideos5739
@freizeitvideos5739 2 года назад
How damp is the sponge, is it dripping, can you wring it out or is it just damp? How long does your paper hold the moisture, what if you have to rewet in between, how can you see that?

Drawing is the most important. If your drawing is not good, no matter how good your painting it will not look good. OK you can paint your picture without drawing, but you will have to be a good painter.

OK. I just tried this and completely failed. Do you use a different brush for each colour so you don't have to keep cleaning and re-loading the brush? Do you worry about cross-contaminating the colours from their pans?
