HOW TO DRAW for those that think they can’t No. 29 Clock angles FREE DRAWING COURSE
If, like me, you aren’t very good at estimating the degrees of angles never fear as there is a better method. This video shows you how to use your knowledge of looking at a clock to tell the time. You use these angles every day and this skill can be used in your drawing.

HOW TO DRAW for those that think they can’t No.28 FREE DRAWING COURSE foreshortening
Просмотров 2154 года назад
In the last video we looked at foreshortening. In this video we apply the same principles to the human form. Initially it looks complicated but it isn’t and from past experience I find that once students know how to use measuring, drawing the human form from a foreshortened perspective is well within their skills.

In the last two videos I showed you the importance of measuring your subject using an extended arm and a pencil. The skills acquired are applied to drawing foreshortened objects. I stress the importance here or believing your eyes and not your brain.

Following on from last week’s video where we used ovals to help us draw animals, the same system is applied here for flower drawing. This method superimposes ovals onto flower heads and then uses the skill (from precious videos) of “flattening” the shape of the petals.

In this video I reveal another drawing system which you can put in your “toolbox”. Overlapping ovals lend themselves perfectly to drawing animals whether they are moving or are in static poses.

Просмотров 1284 года назад
Line quality is often overlooked, much to the detriment of your drawing. In this video I show you the importance of varying your pencil line to indicate volume, light and shade. A clumsy drawing can be transformed into a more professional rendering by paying attention to the quality of your lines.

Lines are useful, even if imaginary. In this video I explain how by using horizontal and vertical line you can better construct a drawing. Imaginary lines allow you to constantly scan your drawing making corrections as you proceed.

This is a fun brain training exercise which has you out and about drawing cows, or rather the pattern on black and white cows. Again it stresses the importance of drawing what you see and not what do you think you see.

Просмотров 1504 года назад
Looking at the rendering of reflective surfaces. Drawing glass and metal use the same technique and this video reinforces video no. 13 which covered reflections in metal. I also recap what we found out about drawing ellipses. The emphasis is again on observation and the importance of pentimenti.

Просмотров 1774 года назад
Before moving on to reflections in glass, it is necessary to tackle ellipses, as glass usually involves glassware such a bottles, jars etc. Here I explain how your eye level effects the depth of the ellipse and what you need to bear in mind when drawing objects which have a circular opening.

i love your castle paintings ! ❤
Are you rinsing the brush between each color wash, or a different brush for each color?
The 3x3 grid not only helps you frame the composition and transfer the image to your page, but it also allows you to line up the composition with the focal points folthe rule of 3rds wher the piece is more aesthetically pleasing if the focal points line up with the intersections of the 3x3 grid. All of your examples did!
Thankyou very much for this. I visited our local church with light sand to very dark walls nearly black or dark green blue colour, gravestones etc and wondered how to mix. Thank you Mike
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is a excellent lesson, thank you!
I use this a lot with animals, indeed I used it earlier today... with a sheep!
Great for Urban Sketching
Wow, years of drawing and I didn't know that about ellipses. Thank you! Actually I've learned a great deal from your online course. I love you proper matter of fact way of teaching. More what I'm used to (55 years old). Not like some of the namby pamby 'art teachers' on RUclips. I trust your information and methods.
Thanks Donna 😊
Fantastic and clear instructions. Thank you so much👌
I'm waiting for your answer 🙏 l l am from India , namaste, 🙏
Hi, sorry for the delay. The aperture depends on the proportions of the paper that you are using for drawing. If the paper is A4 size then the aperture (hole) needs to be cut at the same proportion 1: 1.4 approximately. Something like 82mm x 56mm - aperture size - that’s what I use . The measurement of the outside piece of card doesn’t matter - whatever suits you best to hold. If the paper isn’t A4 you’ll need to measure the width and length of your paper and work out the ratio eg 1:1.4, 1:1.5: 1.1.6 etc and cut the apperture to that proportion. Hope that helps.
Ma'am what is the size of view finder ? Please answer me 🙏
🇮🇪👍👍
Great lesson! Thank you. My stone wall was flat!
This lady deserves an award for the selfie stick hack.
The envelope inside the sketchbook, awesome too
Thank you so much! You are a wonderful teacher!
Thank you Linda - much appreciated
Hello thistle:) so I did a view finder based on the measurements, but mine has a smaller window than the one you have. Can you please help here
Which store has a good deal of sketch books and don’t you shade your drawings
I found your channel accidentally as I was looking for a viewfinder and how to use it. I have to say " I love your videos and you are absolutely adorable".
short and sweet video, very helpful and well explained, thanks
Thanks Jessie. I’ve tried to keep these videos as short and informative as possible. It drives me nuts when watching videos on RUclips the presenter waffles on for ages before getting to the point . Enjoy your watercolour adventure 🤣
@@thistleheartprints7880 thank you! I will, ...and by the way, I had no idea about complementary colours! just done one with blue and orange which was great!
@@jessiebenavides3862 I use complimentary colours all of the time. Have a look at the impressionists paintings and you will see they very deliberately put green against red, blue against orange and yellow against purple. It makes a helluva difference to a painting and elevates your work to another level. Have fun and thanks for your comment
Wonderful! U are such great artist!!!
My favourite so far. So well explained
So clever. But now I want a garden tour! what an awesome view!
so helpful! So glad I found you!
Good one Where are you from?
Newcastle 😊
@@thistleheartprints7880 are you single for me😍😍
@@thistleheartprints7880 pls reply.....
@@ashishg4242 tf is wrong with you
Super tip! Ty🎨
I really enjoy your wonderful teaching. You really simplify the process! Cheers 🌹
I'll have to try this method. I've been using a kind of scraping-technique with an old store card. I saw Terry Harrison using it in a video. It takes a bit of practice, but it results in random rock patterns - ideal for cliffs and sma rocks. But for stones it lack that roundness you mentioned, or maybe I'm not doing the technique properly...
Hi Mark. No teacher has the “right” way so you are doing the best thing ie Seeing what others can suggest and trying out their methods. You’ll probably find something that is “your” way which uses a few ideas. Good luck and keep experimenting.
Thank you! Im drawing and painting with watercolor on digital PC but i really need to learn the real watercolor
Nice! Thank you for this lesson.
Excellent tutorial. Respect from India 🇮🇳
Very useful! Always thought that radii of curvature at the top and the bottom are the same 🙈😄 Thank you)
🤩 What a fantastic advice! Thank you so much for that. Now I know that it’s better not to draw from the head as I always thought that would be definitely the case with accomplished artists 😊
I don’t know any professional artist who would draw or paint out of their head. I think you are right though in that it is a misconception. “Real” artists look extremely carefully at what they are trying to draw and draw what they see and not what they think they see. Now that you understand this , it will open a path for you. Enjoy your creativity now as it is limitless. P x
Oh Pauline, I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for posting this series of drawing tutorials. You are a fabulous teacher! I am learning so much and it's working AND it's just my 4th lesson. Thank you, thank you!
That’s very kind thank you x
Wonderful! Thank you!
Please, keep making videos, they're SO GOOD and useful!
How many cm is that inside and outside
Outside 14cm x 10 cm. inside 8 cm x 6 cm
@@thistleheartprints7880 thank you soooo much
Very helpful, and your example images are gorgeous! \
Thank you for this. I am going to paint an old gate house made from stone so this will be very helpful
i guess I'm pretty off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released movies online?
I also am about to do a stone wall and yes I usually paint each one individually. Now I am going to do it how you have taught us. I will update and let you know how I get one. Great lesson so easily explained going to look at a few more. Great teacher
Thanks Trudy. Yes let me know how you get on. 😊
Well I am a fairly experienced artist and I have just learnt how to do a stone wall successfully. I would do the stones individually not as just individual blocks but kind of blended together. I now did washes as you suggested and it is a great way to accomplish a natural wall. I am really pleased with the result. You are a great teacher too. Thanks
You’re welcome Trudy 🙂
Something is terribly wrong with youtube if your WONDERFUL, EXCELLENT, FORMIDABLE tutorials only get so very few views... 😢 I love your “lessons” so, so much! Thank you for each and every one of them.
Thanks Alexandru. That’s very kind of you. The reason I get so few views is that I don’t actively promote my content as most youtubers seem to do. I am at the end of my teaching career and just thought it would be a fun thing to do. I’m glad you are enjoying them. Cheers Pauline
All this valuable information in such o short time! BRILLIANT!!! Thank you.
You’re welcome 😊
Lovely video. Do you have any watercolor paper recommendations?
Hi, I use Bockingford 300 gsm NOT 😊
thankyou for your clear instruction and encouragement you give for people learning to draw.
Thanks Marjorie for your feedback - much appreciated 😊
I love how much thought you put into this video! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks you very much. I have taught drawing for many years and luckily have kept my teaching aids . I’m glad you are enjoying the videos
Thanks for your feedback - much appreciate. 😊
This is brilliant, thank you!
Very helpful, thank you. My watercolours are far too tight at the moment, it is difficult to break free after years of doing it that way !!
I wouldn’t worry too much about being too tight. Painting style is very personal and perhaps it best suits you ,as an artist, to paint how you naturally want to paint. The pressure is always on to “loosen up” but not all artists benefit from that advice . Have belief in yourself - I’m sure you paint just fine. P x
@@thistleheartprints7880 How very kind of you to reply and your words meant a lot to me. You are right, I am always being told I "must"loosen up ! My favourite subjects to paint are architecture & portraits. I love doing the detail and so loosening up is hard to do - as you might appreciate ! I have however learnt to soften the edges and not to completely fill the scene with detail now. Your tips on mixing stonework colours will come in very handy so thank you again & I look forward to seeing more of your watercolour work.
Thank you for your great videos. You have a really nice way of explaining things and I appreciate what you do.
Thank you im aromatically subscribed 😁
We learned a lot from your video and you are a great art teacher, thank you! Keep the good work!
