Matthew, I want to tell you how much I appreciate your tutorial. It is explained very very well which is not typical for many of the artist here on You Tube. Thanks for these great lessons for an old guy such as myself (70 now). Thanks a lot for your excellent techniques and watercolor ideas. Don Sylvester Houston, TX

Absolutely gorgeous. You are a good teacher!

Wow. This is just like a Turner sunset.

Can’t wait to try this today! Thank you!

this painting looks gorgeous, I love the colours 😊

Very instructive. So often you demo street scenes that to me anyway are not very appealing with the cars and plain buildings but I really love this one. Thank you.

Really enjoyed this one. For years I have tried to paint these sunrises and sunsets but they never turn out the way I have planned them. I’ll give your way a try. One other frustration I have with these scenes is when on sees a blue sky with scattered, often linear clouds. The clouds themselves are normally a gray to a dark gray with strong orange under belies that pretty much match the sun. No matter what I try the clouds turn to mud. I can wait for the darker clouds to dry before attempting to add the orange, or I lay in the orange and wait for it to dry before adding the gray. Still never looks right. If I go with both the orange and the gray while everything is still wet I still get a run of mud. Comments? Suggestions?

Very nice! I’m gonna try this soon. I am new in watercolour painting.

Great tutorial Matthew - thanks so much for these tips and guidance! :))

I been adding more water to my painting with acrylic paints. I like the idea.

I have tried this 3x and I am making mud when I add the bluish purple to the sky area. I have quin rose and pyrrol crimson for my cool reds. I didn’t think it would make a difference but maybe I’m not mixing them correctly. This is such a gorgeous painting but may be a bit over my head.

So beautiful. Tks for sharing your expertise.

Beautiful painting. Very helpful. Many thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous. Thank you for this tutorial.

Really beautiful! Great instruction!

Wonderful tutorial, thank you!

Complimenti, è stupendo 👏👏👏

Meraviglioso, complimenti!

Thanks for the tips

Do you feel sunrises and sunsets are different? Do you go deeper darker with sunsets? Or is it just what nature creates at the moment? Thanks!

З великою цікавістю переглянула відео. Дякую.

Thank you 😊

Quite nice!

You use "rose madder permanent," which is a color name used by whatever paint brand you are using. Can you tell me what the pigment number is? Thank you. Nice video, btw :)

Wonderful Video. How do you keep your paper that we+ ? Or is it just that you paint quickly? Mine dries too fast even when I saturate both sides. I use Arches Cp 140 lb.

So nice

How do you not get cauliflower blooms

Super mais comment vos couleurs ne tournent elles pas au vert ?

I have nooooooo idea how you use that much water without your paper buckling. Even with tape, mine is buckling.
