I have suffered from a stroke 2018 and am left paralized as a musician i am can’t play my instrument anymore but with your help watercolor painting may become my new instrument thank you very much!!
Wish you best of luck for all ur endeavours , its heartening to know that u r a courageous person , starting to paint post stroke , U’ll nail it , u r already a musician it will come naturally to you. 👍👍👍🙏
Mr Fuller...I love this on so many levels....to improve my art but your lovely explanations and slow technique are meditative for the brain. Also most beginners can attempt this and view from my house can be often like this ,so I watch mist clearing within minutes sometimes.
Honestly magic. Seeing the reference photo and your final painting is just so inspiring! As a beginning artist it is nice to see these "slower" art videos where the painting process is shown and explained extensively during the video. Hopefully with much practice i'll be painting threes in the mist as gorgeously as this! Thank you for the video!
Mr. Fuller was a genuine inspiration. I hope his videos live on via RU-vid and elsewhere forever. He is missed. I pray his family are doing well, and thank them for sharing the talent of this remarkable man with the rest of us.
Greg Edmonds He passed away already? Its my first time watching a video of his and it got me so inspired that i was about to jump outta my bed right now but then i saw this and my heart just fell apart :(
So sorry to hear this. I only found this video yesterday and haven't had a chance to watch any more yet. My condolences, however belated, to his family and friends.
Coming back and watching his videos years later. Such a talented man. Such a sad loss. 6 years ago and it seems like yesterday. Still learning from you to this day. Every time I rewatch one of your videos or look in your books, I learn something new that I've missed in the past. Thank you for sharing your amazing art with us. I hope you are resting in peace 🖤
OMG I was reading the comments below and discovered that Mister Grant Fuller has passed away. I dont know him we never met but I loved watching his videos . Suddenly I find myself choking with sobbs and tears.He just sounded like a kind man. My condolences to his loved ones.
Thank you for this lesson I'm not the best at watercolour but you're inspiring me to have a try being an acrylic artist I've never really got on with watercolour great job regards clive
This was truly an inspirational lesson from a master watercolourist. I have many photographs of the magical qualities of misty pine forests near to where I live and this, dear Grant Fuller, is the painting lesson I had been searching. It also reminds me of a memorable trip made to Vancouver B.C. many years ago. Rest in peace.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I had a great time learning and am very happy about what the process taught me - light, proportions, flow, positioning, etc. Looking forward to trying another landscape from your collection.
I’ve been a sketch artist since seventh grade and I’m almost 24 now. I got kinda bored of not using color and I’m getting hooked on water color I’m a fast learner and will watch TONS of RU-vid videos to learn different techniques! This painting is quite beautiful. ❤️
we used to have to "paint" with watercolours in school. now when i see the gorgeous paintings made with watercolours i really regret not learning how to use them properly, as welll as annoyed that the teachers did not care to properly show us these techniques like how to do blending or warn us not to use waay too much water... it was usually more in the fashion of: paint butterflies, blend one colour into different shades & go!
@@user9675 Wisdom comes with experience - but only if there is intelligence there to start with. Experience comes at any age. But if an aged person has no wisdom, refer to my first statement here, and give them a break.
@@brandubh11 Well, I am aged, if that is what you are asking. Are you an ageist or just a smart aleck? I mean, we have user 9 there trying to be clever, are you just trying to out clever him/her/it?
Thank you, Mr. Fuller! I'm in the 21-day lockdown with the coronavirus in my country and it's hard to deal with anxiety and depression. Your videos are really what I need to learn watercolour which has been my favourite medium to use but I hardly have seen anyone else put up so much information as comprehensively, so generously free and as lovingly as you have. Thank you for helping me heal and stay sane while learning this beautiful art with you!
Absolutely amazing. It's like you don't even really paint the mist, you paint around it and your brain fills in the rest. I've got some supplies in the mail and I can't wait to try my hand at this!!
No frigging way! How?!... I mean I see "how" ( there's a whole detailed walk-through), but....HOW?!... Such patience, such dedication. The "detalization"! Result is unbelievable. Amazing tutorial as well. I'm in awe!
wonderful and inspiring tutorial, thank you for sharing your time and skill with us. I hope to try this soon. I hope I can achieve that serenity that you've managed to convey. All the best. Peace.
I rly like this painting, eventhough mine was way too strong in the colors it looks alright. I don't feel like I have failed and I can try this again knowing it's practice and all attempts are nice paintings too keep.
Thank you for this! I used it as a study in my self-imposed crash-course on watercolour, the art of which had previously always eluded me. This was very helpful in helping me figure many things out.
Today I found him for the first time. Grant Fuller! And to hear, that he is dead, it’s a shock! I was so happy to find him, and next second I fall in sadness. I love his kind of coloring, he was a really great artist. I will try and try and try with his kind of coloring, to get some day in the same way one kind of wood in the mist. Maybe, but I will try, and try . Really. Thank you Grant Fuller and Rest In Peace. Show all the angles, how to draw your wonderful paintings.
After an extensive search I was unable to find the reference image Grant used, hoping it might help me to paint. I assume it must be one of his original images of Vancouver Island. My search revealed that Grant has sadly passed away. Thanks for the great videos and the great paintings, this internet stranger will miss you.
I look forward to trying this on the coming weekend. Do you think the end result will be drastically different if I used hot-pressed and cold-pressed instead of rough paper?
Lonneke Vinken most of the time it's not you, but the quality of your paint, brush and paper. Even a beginner can make a great painting with better supplies. Also, for water color, it's about understanding how the water behaves at different time. It's wither you work with wet surface or dry surface. Disaster occurs when you try to paint in a kinda damp surface.
''FULLER, Grant William It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Canadian watercolor artist and teacher Grant William Fuller, October 8th, 2016 at the age of 73. Grant passed away peacefully at St. Joseph's Hospital in Comox, early Saturday morning from complications associated with a recent cancer diagnosis. As per Grant's wishes, there will be no formal funeral service, and following cremation, his ashes will be spread in a sunny location reminiscent of his many wonderful Vancouver Island paintings.'' Unfortunately grant is no longer with us so he will be unable to answer your questions.
elisa breaban And then you waste those money by not being able to produce anything decent,only crappy,unfinished paintings because you're a beginner and you have no idea what you're doing. :')
MediocreHaddie i never plan to do art for a living either way. Only a hobby, that doesn't mean I can't invest my money into something I love doing. Not everything I put money into has to bring me more money back. It's all about the satisfaction and happiness I feel when I'm drawing. So I don't see anything wrong with investing in something that makes you happy
elisa breaban Ah,me neither. I didn't say you have to invest money only in things that make money in return. I was basically saying that watercolour doesn't look like something that will happen for me since you have to go through a lot of paper and paint without producing anything decent in the beginning,and art supplies are more of a luxury for me and I'm sure for most people that do art as a hobby as well. So,since you have to practice to get better(and you obviously need watercolour paper to practice on),but I don't see any noticeable progress - more like ruining every piece of paper and sketch I try to paint - it feels like I'm wasting money on paper. ;-;
Don't hesitate to scrub off an old watercolour that didn't work. Some interesting "pentimente" (I think it is called) will occur. The better the paper the better the result. Leila.
