The section where you actually showed how you used the colors on the palette and laid in the colors on the rocks was of GREAT value to me. I am self taught and have been so frustrated by RU-vid videos by artists who don’t show them selves using the palette - I thank you so much for this demonstration!

Terry here,I live in Ireland. Just found Jos Tool Box, wet on wet very difficult. Going to use Flat Brush like you are doing now.look forward to learning from you.89 this year,widow ,living alone.

@snuuby5468 Месяц назад

The RU-vidr Anne Kerr teaches the Golden Rule for wet on wet. The wetter the paper the drier the paint. This little rhyme has been a game changer for me when painting wet on wet.

@ArtExpertAN 18 дней назад

Correct, I add onto this concept. The brush and paper become sponges because they both host water. I use the analogy of spilled milk on the floor. In order to avoid the milk puddle from expanding, the sponge needs to be damp but less wet than the puddle on the floor. If the sponge (brush) has too much water, the pigment will spread past the desirable degree of a readable contour of the image.

I started watercolor about 5 years ago. I'm still a beginner level, but I've made some great progress recently. However, I have felt held back because I haven't been happy with my washes. The colors never blend the way I want. After watching this video and others by Johannes, I tried his methods of partially mixing colors on the palette and changing colors every few strokes. I am blown away at how beautiful my washes look now. I am excited to try the different "lines" and so many other things he has taught. I have decided that I only want to learn from Johannes from now on for landscapes and loose painting. I have also bought his book and signed up for his next class. I found him because my grandmother sent me a picture of her yellow house nestled in the snow and I really want to paint it, but I needed information on how to crop the photo and make it more interesting. Thanks to Jo, I feel a bit more confident and I can't wait to implement what I have learned on this painting.

@cindysmac1187 6 месяцев назад

Johannes Vloothuis is a GREAT teacher - he teaches PRINCIPLES OF ART that apply to every medium. We learn how to do a painting but more importantly, we learn WHY. Then we can do our own creative paintings, not just copy what the teacher does.

OH MY!! Unbelievably interesting, helpful instruction!!! I took 7 pages of notes! I will definitely sign up for the Paint Alongs starting next month. Jo is the teacher that I'm excited to learn from. When ya know, ya know. I signed up for the newsletter and ordered Jo's book. Thanks so much for this RU-vid tutorial!

What a great way to spend my Sunday morning. I so appreciate that you spent this time on RU-vid for us beginners. I will spread the word for sure on the many watercolor sites I am following on Facebook. I learned sooooooooooo much! My name is Dottie, so I got the "Leave your dottie areas to a minimum." I will never forget that one! I hope to join your channel in the near future for sure! Great prices for the value for sure!

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! So much to work with. What incredible dedication; giving so much to others! Words cannot express my appreciation. I can go so far to state that your sharing contributes to my sanity, since your teaching facilitates learning an art form which allows me to enter and explore other, (more magical) worlds. Please excuse my effusiveness.

@user-refugebear 4 месяца назад

great video! I learned more in these two hrs than years of watching other RU-vid videos. You explained WHY rather than just painting. Wonderful!

@christhomas856 6 месяцев назад

An excellent review of techniques, materials and methodology to enhance my understanding gained fromJo’s book of “essential landscape painting” , watching it again now to fill out the notes I made from the live event. I would like to thank Johannes for continuing to share his experience in all media as I am a newby trying to get a handle on watercolour and oil/acrylic painting, now aiming to tune in to the January 24 workshops on Artists Network, I am fascinated!

@chiarinadicintio4531 4 месяца назад

Oh my goodness.. I just found this video and watched it through. I can’t believe how much I learned from this one video alone. Am now going to your website and sign up for your next course. Thank you for the time you put into this learning process.

@hArtyTruffle 6 месяцев назад

Thankyou! I never even considered starting in the middle of the form and allowing it to spread to the contour of (in this example) the roof and tower thing as compared to the trees. It really helps with the contrast of things, so necessary for making things come forward and fall back. Subbed ✨👍🏼✨

@cindysmac1187 6 месяцев назад

Those are two great examples of what we learn from Jo in every class. Our notebooks are full of terrific advice.

@lorimoran6136 6 месяцев назад

Thanks so much Joe. I took your December Paint Along after seeing your You Tube Painting Trees in Pastel. I am still working through those classes. But I will not be taking any more classes from anyone but you. I have learned more from you in two months than I have in five years of taking other classes. I love your book Landscape Painting Essentials. I work mostly in watercolor ( my first love, so to speak). Now I'm trying to break the round brush habit.😄 I would love a smaller session class!

I LOVE YOUR WAY OF EXPLAINING YOUR ARTWORK.I CERTAINLY HAVE LEARNED A LOT FROM . Thanks for being hear for the artist. I have trouble with trees

@ArtExpertAN 6 месяцев назад

The solution is as you are designing your trees make sure the two halves are obviously different. Also avoid foliage that fits in an implied circle. Go for the ovalish shape. Depicting leaves is not necessary. Create clumps instead.

@srab420 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! This was great.

@kristapedersen1828 6 месяцев назад

You are a lovely painter, and your work is beautiful! I love the looseness you achieve, that I’ve been striving for for years. I knew many of the techniques you demo’d, but your principal of contrasts was very helpful. I loved watching the close-ups, then seeing them in the final painting. I am travelling, so unable to try your course. Also, although Jude suggested we try it, I am really not interested in watching the other mediums. I know there are principles you will teach, but if I am paying, I only want to watch watercolour… sorry. You are both wonderful teachers, and being from Ontario myself, I appreciate your generosity and friendliness. Thank you for a great video.

@glenda7921 6 месяцев назад

Jo’s passion is obvious; the presentation ho, scattered Still learned a ton.

@shirliekplomer6993 6 месяцев назад

@glenda7921 - yes you would certainly have learned a lot. It seemed scattered because it was not of one painting being worked, it was short snippets of different works Jo had done using pointers on most aspects of watercolour paintings. This helps professionals as well as beginners to get the very best education without years of practicing mistakes. I do hope you will keep the link to return to it when needs be. Or join his monthly Paintalongs where it will not be scattered - it will be full paintings done from the first stroke to the very end of the painting while all questions will be answered. Each month there are 3 classes - one each week - one oil, one pastel and one watercolour - the whole lot for $24-95. Glenda, Jo is a Master Artist and therefore he has the best teachings to pass on to you.

@pennyclark9079 6 месяцев назад

Superb content Thank you for being so generous sharing your skills and knowledge. However for me I would find it more useful to have this almost two hour video split into 30min sections to make a series. Perhaps it’s my age but I find it hard to concentrate on a video for longer than this. Also I think you would attract more viewers to a series. Even in my retirement I find it difficult to dedicate two hours at once. Although I can sit and paint happily for hours on end!!!!

@joykruczay 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your talents with us. The courses look like an exceptional deal, although the video would be much shorter if you did not "advertise" them frequently and talk about your very considerable skills. Your style reminds me of Tony Couch (at best) and Thomas Kincade, with the glowing interiors (at worst - although everyone likes something different). Your thoughts on variations and symbols are straight out of Tony Couch and Ed Whitney's teachings. The Dremel hack is something I have seen for years on forums, and one can easily drill right through the paper. Even though I prefer more detail and more of a focal point, you are a master artist with such a fresh approach that never looks overworked.

@funstuffbyme576 5 месяцев назад

Hello - when you put paint in the middle of the palette, do you add extra water to the paint at that point or is the paint watered first and then you move it to the middle of the palette with no extra water? Thank you

@ivicamilosavljevic4706 5 месяцев назад

On the sky, to avoid green, when blue and yellow overlap, use different blue, and different (darker) yellow, with adding pinch of red to it...or in-between insert some greyish blue.. point is to make warmer blue before transition to yellow (but also use more orange yellow)... Should work, and dont rush in the mix... ;)

@teresasawicka5861 6 месяцев назад
