Today I'm showing you how to paint light in watercolor.
I am painting on Saunders Waterford Cold Press 140lb paper. I have my surface tilted to 35 degrees. I use a variety of brands of brushes. I mainly stick to a large mop, medium round and smaller synthetic brush with a point.
Here are the list of pigments on my palette:
Burnt Sienna
Cadmium Red
Cadmium Yellow Medium
Cerulean Blue
Cobalt Blue
Cobalt Teal Blue
Cobalt Turquoise
Lavender
Neutral Tint
Payne's Gray
Quinacridone Gold
Raw Sienna
Raw Sienna Light
Raw Umber
Rose Madder Permanent
Ultramarine Blue

Matthew, your teachings are amazing, I'm starting to paint watercolors almost a year after I retired, and I'm really enjoying it, thank you, who knows, maybe one day I'll be painting about 2% of what you paint. 👏👏👏👏

Your best tutorial yet. So much insight into your thought process! Thank you so much!

@coneyisland4568 17 дней назад

I know what that urge to 'jump ahead' feels like only too well. Because I usually paint with oils, I'm used to putting in my dark values early in the painting.

@scottenosh4548 17 дней назад

Hey Matt....if you havent already, could you make a video of your favorite paintings...that you produced???

@learntopaintwatercolor 17 дней назад

Good idea!

This is one of the best videos I've seen summarizing and demonstrating step by step the process of doing a watercolor painting. It's a plan that helps launch me to start. It might be helpful to do a video just dissecting Step 2, the middle values, and connecting. Thank you, Matt😊

I’m going to try a painting using your method again. It works so well for you Matthew. I think I probably wet the sides too much. I notice your first wash doesn’t all merge together like mine does. It’s exasperating. The greens with the greys and blues. Could you tell us just how wet the sides should be? Thanks.

@kristapedersen1828 16 дней назад

Great to have your videos reinforcing Andy’s method. Thank you! Your paintings are lovely. Question: why did you decide to cover over the light on the road in the foreground?

@lisaherrero7453 11 дней назад

Très bien expliqué merci! Vos vidéos sur patreon ont elles des sous titres en français?

@stefannorinder2892 16 дней назад

Thanks for all your great content. Could you explain what you mean by *connecting* shape and *connecting* values and why this is important to do from the wet edge?

@johnytwo 15 дней назад

You „need“ to include all the middle values in the second wash, so that the painting is nice and clean and connected. So you paint all the values you guestimate to be „middle values“ in one connected wash. The wet edge helps with this, because as long as it is wet, there is not gonna be any visible „connection“, which could happen, if you were not fast enough and the shape dries up and forms a hard edge. For more info see Andy Evansen „value studies“.

My rule: Add birds when needed :)

@gennydavidsonsmith85 15 дней назад

Thank you Matthew. Are you using rough paper?

@learntopaintwatercolor 14 дней назад

Cold press 140lb.

@kristinelockwood2431 17 дней назад

You make it look easy. I feel like I stop my paintings either with the first wash and they look flat or don’t have the middle values so they don’t look connected between light and dark. The birds, why must there be birds? It doesn’t always add perspective and doesn’t seem real. IMO

@johnytwo 15 дней назад

What percentage of your painting time are you squinting?

@learntopaintwatercolor 14 дней назад

Mainly when I'm determining the large middle shape. It's good to step back and squint from time to time to make sure you are simplifying.

@johnytwo 14 дней назад

@@learntopaintwatercolor That is good. I feel like I need to squint all the time, to prevent myself from painting too much detail. But I paint trees a lot, so that is why maybe.
