▶︎Free Video Lesson: 7 Secrets of Fresh, Powerful Painting www.learntopaintwatercolor.com/7secrets

I really love your teaching style. You're always prepared, have meaty content, get right to the point, and don't waste my time.

Thank you Matthew White! I appreciate your videos.

The best video on Watercolor landscape paintings 🥰💕

Your demos and teaching methods are great. Easy to relate and to be inspired by your ideas.

You are so right! I am a floral watercolor artist and before I learned the rule of thirds….I use to put my main subject in the middle of the page. Thanks for these helpful tips. Love your videos!

I love your channel, I'm a glass artist.

thank you!

Your videos are so helpful to me, someone who has just started watercolor painting in the last couple of months. These tips are ones I had but considered and actually I did have a habit of trying to play both sides if the field so to speak by splitting my paintings into halves instead of thirds

i love your watercolors

Very beneficial! Thanks!

Hi Matt, I love your videos and the way you teach. Could you please show us all how to paint realistic rainbows, Ozzy Michelle

Great lesson 💖

You have the best content!!!

Awesome

solid

Matthew. I love the way you teach watercolours. I have just answered a question from Graeme Cox below, I think you'll agree. Thanks.

I am about to start a new composition and your video arrived just in time! I have a much better understanding now that you explained the rule of thirds and that points of interest can be placed where the lines intersect. I'm excited to apply your suggestions. Thanks, Matt.

❤️❤️❤️

Thanks!

Thanks for the great videos. You asked for suggestions about future content. Something I always struggle with is the order in which to paint things. Obviously skies are usually first but not always, according to some of my art books. I then like to establish my darks and lights to get the balance right but maybe that is not necessarily the way to go either. In particular, if I am painting something with some figures which are going to be a main focus, I am never sure whether it is best to establish the background first and then paint the main subjects or vice versa.

Another great video! 👍 If you have enough requests, might you be able to cover leaving out extraneous detail? I'm thinking of street furniture, for example.

Your videos and more sophisticated style have really helped me improve! s couple of things i really struggle with are sophisticated stone buildings (versus having them overworked and stilted) and dappled light. Something on these topics would be amazing!

thank you for your videos. You asked if there are any suggestions for future video instructions. It's about paint. I have most of my paint dried in various palettes that i purchased and/or filled at various times and these are dry and some cracked and while i do have some tubes they are not inclusive of basic colors so most of the time as I paint i grab one palette and then a few others and then i have 4 of 5 stacked on top of one another and my area becomes a huge cluttered mess. I'm not sure what the solution is but if you have suggestions for keeping things neat in a small space as you paint that might be helpful for someone like me.

My problem - how to rationally limit the color palette

😓...I just finish one painting of a bridge base on a foto I took a week a go. In the foto I have the bridge on the horizon is 1/3 below... but for my painting I made the horizon higher right in half of the paper by meaning😣... so I shall try another one with the correct composition.

Is horizon line the same as the eye level line?

maaan i don't know if i commented on your video about this or not ...but i really really needed this video because its my college exam just after 10 days ... and we have a section of memory drawing/ composition in which we need to paint a scene lets say railway station scene..this exam means alot to me...thanks sir......can i request you for 1 thing ....please.... i mess up the timing doing depth background..... the time we get is about 1:30 hr .....can u please make a video .... increasing the speed while painting ..... while getting bright colors.....the problem i face is ....i am really good at doing figures individually but i mess up it with bg ......please sir ....still thanks for the amazing content ....may god give you all that you want ....
