Just realised why some of my paintings can look flat. Watching you, I now know that sometimes I use the same flat washes by not varying the brush strokes as often as I should. Your picture shows flat and ‘dry brushstrokes’. I feel like this is what they call ‘A Light Bulb Moment’ 😃. 💡💡💡 So thank you Andrew for waking me up. It is all too easy to sink into monotonous painting.

@AndrewPittArtist 9 месяцев назад

You may have also noticed in the videos that I nearly always dip into another colour when I go back to replenish my brush. This helps to keep my washes interesting and varied (and not ‘flat’).The ‘trick’ is to change the colour but keep the same tone. Good luck and happy painting.

@jennetbowdridge Год назад

Fantastic advice as always, Andrew! Thank you!

Very helpful! When I see you apply deep pigment to the dingy wheel (example), I get nervous for the results but it works in the end!

@AndrewPittArtist 4 месяца назад

Thanks. I get nervous as well. But rich colour applied once will look better than applying many layers of colour. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

@dschmid8845 Год назад

Hi Andrew. Thanks for sharing another great video. I enjoyed this one very much. What I like about the pure watercolour approach is that I can start almost anywhere and do the sky later. By the way, I’m almost done reading your new book on how to paint fresh loose watercolours. I will comment more later, but will say the book is an excellent read! It’s packed with useful information and is beautifully illustrated. I plan to take it with me on vacation next week and hope to complete several new paintings.

@AndrewPittArtist Год назад

Oh, good, thanks for your encouragement. Glad the video and book are proving helpful. Happy painting on holiday.

@marycaloiaro7253 Год назад

That's another good thing about art! It gives you the freedom to choose your own rules!! Unfortunately, art is the only real form of Democracy and freedom left on this world. So...keep drawing keep painting!! Life is ugly without art!!

@rettain Год назад

It’s the wobbles that make me overwork my painting. I’m learning from you, thank-you! Watching for the next.

@AndrewPittArtist Год назад

You’re welcome. Your ‘’wobbles’’ will be different to my wobbles. Keep them. Try not to tidy up your painting and thereby spoil the parts you most like in watercolours by other artists. Good luck.

@miahughes1450 Год назад

The lightness, intense colour and freshness is so appealing and you make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing this with us. Your paintings have an immediacy lacking with multiple washes. May I ask about the use of paint fresh from the tube? Do you discard paint you haven’t used when you have finished a painting? Or do you let it harden in the pan? I find that the hardened paint can be re softened with water but it isn’t the same - however discarding it seems so wasteful. Do you have a secret for that as well?

@AndrewPittArtist Год назад

Thanks for getting in touch. My only ‘secret’ is paint regularly so the paint doesn’t get chance to harden.

@lisafroment856 7 месяцев назад

Andrew, you’re a painting of boats is stunning. I love your fresh colors. Do you place your watercolor paper under the mat and paint on dry paper?

@AndrewPittArtist 7 месяцев назад

Yes and I nearly always paint on dry paper. I don’t like introducing an unknown amount of water to my paper which is going to further dilute the paint which is going to dry lighter anyway - doesn’t seem to be a helpful technique to me. The ‘water’ part of ‘watercolour’ is the hardest bit to control. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

@eimertansey8738 Год назад

Thank you for sharing, I'm new to watercolours so found it very helpful. I was just wondering what brush you used, I loved the confidence you have with it and not changing to different brushes

@janetgoldstein7597 Год назад

Lovely painting. Please consider using a fresh clean towel! It’s a small thing but the towel you are using is loaded with paint and is very distracting! I’m going to try a watercolour this afternoon . Thanks for the inspiration

@AndrewPittArtist Год назад

Thank you, I will, although I’m quite attached to that old towel!

@willemienenklaar9564 2 месяца назад

Splendid video! Thanks a lot ! May I ask a question? I struggle with my brushes . Which brush do you use? I need to buy a new one , but am not certain which one

@AndrewPittArtist 2 месяца назад

Thanks for getting in touch. I’m not sure there is such a thing as the perfect brush. The only thing I recommend is keep to natural hair (avoid synthetic brushes). Also keep to round brushes, any medium to large size which points well. I will say, though, I have never solved a painting problem by spending money. Good luck.

@TheHosteen 5 месяцев назад

Hi Andrew, I was just wanting to check what you mean by using fresh gucky paint. Does this mean you fill each well of your palette with tube paint for each painting, and then discard the remainder when you are done? ie you wont come back to that old paint and re-moisten it for a further painting? I think I am probaly too frugal with my tube paints! That's where this question is coming from

@AndrewPittArtist 5 месяцев назад

Hi. Yes, I do replenish my paint when needed, but I don’t discard the old paint. I have to say I don’t have a problem with dried up, hard paint because I paint regularly. Painting often is the key. I don’t leave my palette long enough for the paint to dry hard. Soft, juicy paint is the key to rich colour. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

@TheHosteen 5 месяцев назад

@weenbraim265 11 месяцев назад

One of your previous tutorial you told that ...we must paint with a stroke at point to the others......but now mostly I look the style you put your brush at a paper is the opposite way....I mean you press with a dot without a nice stroke......we are confuse on that....

Sorry about that. Painting is full of contradictions. Use a variety of brush strokes.
