How to Paint Watercolours Outside (despite the weather!)
Thanks for the art! I find the object you use to (i think) to keep down the paper far more interesting than the usual laying of tape . Does it have a name or was it designed by you? Because i am seriously encouraged by it.
Thanks for getting in touch. If you scroll through the free videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk you’ll find a couple of videos which give more details of all my painting equipment and materials.
If that's the Binning Monroe palette, it's over £500! Ridiculous! Quality enamel palettes are available on certain well known retail websites for a fraction of that price.
My palette is very old.
Thank you for your helpful and inspiring videos.
Glad you like them - thank you for your support.
We always enjoy your posts-thanks so much!
Thanks for your encouragement. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you so much, this answered a lot of questions I've been having trouble with. Looking forward to putting these lessons into practice.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I always look forward to your videos! Thank you, Andrew! Love your art and instruction! :)
Glad you like them and thanks for your encouragement. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I appreciate your style , but I don't like to paint highly realistically. Do you do looser , more abstract work ?
Thanks for getting in touch. Loose and abstract are two different things. Try not to confuse them. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I'm practicing skies at the moment and it is very tricky to make a convincing sky. This technique is interesting but the white patches of unpainted paper are not reading as cloud highlights because of their shape. To me they look like gaps in the cloud where the sky peaks through, in which case they should be a nice sky blue. The blue you put down early on blends with the clouds and looks more like cloud than sky.
Interesting. The accidental on purpose gaps are left to help control the washes and stop them all running together. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thanks so much for your clear instructions. You've laid it all out very nicely.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for getting touch. There are more free to watch videos available on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Hi Andrew. Thanks again for all your wonderful videos. You and I have exchanged message regarding W&N's Viridian (the now discontinued PG18 true viridian), and the new one called Viridian Hue (PG7, PY42, PY43). I have tried the new VH and compared it to the Daniel Smith Viridian (PG18). The mixes with Raw Umber, Yellows, Burnt Umbers, etc are very similar in hue, however, the DS Viridian has tons of granulation. Two questions for you: (1) Have you tried W&N's Viridian Hue and how do you like it, will you make it part of your palette? (2) Did the W&N discontinued Viridian granulate? I look forward to your answers. Thanks in advance. PS: I keep rewatching your vidieos over and over trying to see if I can emulate your "paint once and don't come back and paint over" approach. It must take incredible knowledge and control to achieve that successfully.
I have started using the W&N Viridian hue. There is no W&N alternative. The new hue Viridian seems fine to me. I have never used any Daniel Smith colours. I certainly don’t buy colours which are purposely designed to granulate. I like clear, transparent washes where possible. Some individual colours such as Cerulean Blue granulate anyway. As far as I’m concerned this is just a particular characteristic of some colours. So the answer to your second question is I have never bought a colour because it granulated. I do use a few colours that happen to granulate. Hope this makes sense.
@@AndrewPittArtist As always, thank you Andrew. Happy painting. Cheers!
😊
Please come to Hokkaido, Japan.
Advanced. Educative.
Thanks. There are more videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Such good advice!
Thanks - glad the video was useful.
Amazing
Thanks. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Hi Andrew. Nicely done. Is your Viridian from Winsor & Newton? Can you please tell me the pigment number on the tube? It’s in fine print and might look something like PG18 or PG7 or some other information. I heard W&N Professional abandoned the PG18 Viridian and are replacing it with Viridian Hue made of PG7 plus 2 more pigments. Cotman Viridian Hue is 100% PG7. Let me know. Looking forward to more paintings.
Yes, I have always used Winsor and Newton professional watercolour paint, including Viridian. I have now used up all my old stock of Viridian and found, like you, that it is no longer available. So I have had to purchase Viridian Hue which Winsor and Newton now sell in place of my old Viridian. I have looked at this Hue tube and the Pigment is PG7, PY42, PY43. Hope this helps. I don’t know why Winsor and Newton found it necessary to introduce this Hue colour.
@@AndrewPittArtist Thanks Andrew. That is exactly the one I purchased as well. I would be curious to get your feedback on how you like this NEW version compared to the OLD one you have used for a long time. Are you happy with the new Viridian Hue? Let me know. Cheers from California.
@ I haven’t actually tried it yet. Nor have I explored other makes of Viridian.
@@AndrewPittArtist I have tried the new Viridian Hue by W&N, and it's very nice. Mixes very well with good greens. I have never tried the real W&N Viridian. The Daniel Smith Viridian PG18 is a beautiful color but very difficult to mix with other colors due to its low tinting ability. Here's a great video exploring Viridians, including the old W&N, but video was made before W&N introduced the Viridian Hue. I found the reason they discontinued was due to quality issues. Let me know if you end up liking the new Viridian Hue. Thanks.

Tonight I decided to watch some watercolor demos instead of the tiring election news here in the US. I have been doing watercolor for about 15 years. I do more botanical subjects. Not many landscapes. I am however very impressed with many practices you exhibit. First of all, you are a drawing master. So many I know just want to paint but aren’t willing to put the work in of learning the fundamentals. I like your basic palette for what you are doing. I also make my own but use half palettes. I also have a large square porcelain I bought at a cookware store. Underneath I have all the pigments labeled on paper larger than the palette. I am also impressed that you seem to actually use very few brushes. No matter what style of watercolor people do, your instruction on mixing is great. I don’t mix in the palette box. I have small porcelain flat squares. I usually use two in order to keep the colors rather separate. I will try not to criticize your dirty water, yet the colors don’t look muddy. I always have half a dozen glasses for clean water. I notice you are a very confident artist. The wonderful loose drippy sky is marvelous. The painting has a wonderful fresh look. The white is so important. I’m not good at people at all. I know less is more. This is the second one I watched of your tonight. It is very relaxing. I will go do my own now. I have a frog in mind from my own photo. Thank you.
Many thanks for getting in touch about my videos. I’m glad they are proving helpful. There are lots more, all free to watch, on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you, Mr Pitt. I’m new to painting. Your clear explanation and advice were very informative and useful. I’ve watched your five videos today and I truly enjoyed watching your painting process. Thank you for your good work and sharing. 😅
Many thanks for your encouragement. There are more free to watch videos on my website if you haven’t seen them, www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Another great video Andrew and a really nice end result. I like how you paint freshly, from a location drawing and your memory of the scene. The video camera recorded the house in the distance, as being much smaller than it must have appeared to you - on the day. I suppose that’s an indicator of one of the stranger aspects of working from photographs; the altered depth scale of the camera lens.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you. And you are quite right, a photograph does tend to throw forms into the distance so they appear to be further away than they really are.
Thank you for your helpful videos. They're very helpful :-)
Glad you like the videos. Many thanks for your encouragement. It is much appreciated.
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed this journey! Your commentary is very calming which allows us to concentrate on the subject matter.
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Id love to see an overhead of the initial sketch before its painted if that's okay. i always follow along, TO be honest its not a big deal if its a hassle it just means i can jot it in easier with the overhead perspective. Thankyou for all your tuition, its so valuable.
Thanks. I’ll see what I can do. I have just posted the sketch on my Instagram account. There is a link on the home page of my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Sorry, wrong video, the sketch I’ve just posted is of the most recent video demonstration.
Beautiful
Thank you. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Are turps generally safe to use then? Thanks for all your valuable information and time❤
I’ve not had a problem with turpentine, as long as it’s good quality turps. Some people don’t like the smell, it gives them a headache. Just be careful how you dispose of waste turps. Good luck.
Beautiful!
Thank you. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you for this video. It is filled with all kinds of helpful tips❤
Glad it was helpful - thank you. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Really enjoy your style of painting & teaching. Like your paintings. Thanks
Thank you very much. Glad you like my approach. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Hello Andrew, are your brushes the calligraphy ones or something more expensive? Reason I ask is I have some of those but all the hair has shed and they don’t allow much control. I got them as they were good to hold!
As far as I know they are just ordinary Chinese calligraphy brushes. Many were a gift from a student who came on my courses from Hong Kong. They are not expensive or special in any way. Some Chinese brushes are no good - or at least they don’t work for me, but others are good. They are a bit of an acquired taste but seem to suit me. Sorry I can’t be more help.
@@AndrewPittArtist thank you Andrew, that’s very helpful. I will endeavour to keep trying!
Just come across your videos, this one I really enjoyed and will be trying. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 39:16
Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for getting in touch. There are many more free to watch videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thanks andrew
I always look forward to your videos and was so happy to see this one. I always learn something new or am reminded of things I should be doing. Lovely painting! Thank you!
Many thanks for your support and encouragement - it is much appreciated.
I really enjoy the music, it reminds me of my childhood and being allowed to go into the woods by myself to explore. I was wondering some of my colours come out diluted, would that be because I’m using cakes, I try to draw out a think mixture but I find it so difficult to. Sometimes I go directly from cake to paper as I find it annoying that they come out pale at times.
Thanks for getting in touch. I find the easiest way to get good paint consistency is to use tube paint. So as you use up your pans replace the colours with tube colour. I’m sure you’ll notice the difference. And try to add water to paint rather than paint to a puddle. Hope this helps. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you so much. I have enjoy a lot. 😊
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for getting in touch.
Thank you very much - I always enjoy seeing you create these paintings.
Glad you like them, thanks for your support. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Im also out in Hong Kong, love the amount of Chinese brushes i can get hold of here. just purchased a few of your videos and will start work on them today. Thank you for the great content. Cant wait to get back to Norfolk to work outside!
Glad you like them. Thank you. Have a safe journey home.
❤
Another excellent video - instructive inspirational and a pleasure to watch - thank you Andrew
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for your kind comments.
Oh, Andrew, this was just lovely to watch… I really enjoyed it. The colors are so nice….❤
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for your encouragement.
Absolutely wonderful andrew love it😊
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for your support.
Your way of painting is extremely difficult for me but I like it so much. Thanks for sharing your experience.
It does get easier over time. Painting once requires more restraint than many imagine. It’s the simplest way of keeping your watercolours fresh. Thanks for your interest.
Good to see your video in my suggestions! I wondered where you were! As to your advice to paint an object only once, I see so many tutorials where the advice is to paint in three washes. I must admit that yours has a freshness that others don’t and that you don’t strive for perfection, this helps with the ‘lively’ feel.
Thanks your support. I think many of us forget that all we are doing is making a picture with paper, paint and, of course, the subject. My aim is to produce a fresh, lively painting which not only looks like the scene but retains the integrity of the watercolour medium. And painting each area once seems to be the simplest method of achieving this. Dead right usually looks more dead than right. I certainly don’t aim for perfection.
@@AndrewPittArtist I like the point about being dead right! Thanks for your reply.
Thank you Andrew once again for a wonderful painting demonstration, it's good to see a lovely view of that house which is not normally seen I think. Well done
Thanks Alan. Glad you enjoyed the video. And thank you for your help yesterday. See you next Monday.
I was excited to see a new tutorial, Andrew. I often check to see if you are still painting for us. Thank you so much for your generosity. I learn so much each time. In fact, I hear your voice sometimes when I paint, especially about leaving the bits of white lifting the sky, and changing and varying the color on a shape. Love your work and listening to your thoughts as you calmly paint a scene. Best, Kathy
Many thanks for your kind comments and support. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

Hello from Canada 🇨🇦. Thanks Andrew for another great demonstration. Many beginners are unaware of the importance of composition and doing a sketch before painting. What I learned from sketching is that it helps one to check the composition of the scene, as well as the tones. If the composition has problems, the painting will be less successful, or unsuccessful altogether. Including the plein air sketch at beginning of your video was helpful.
Glad it was helpful. Thank you.
Muchas gracias muy disfrutable
Muchas gracias
Thank you! I always learn sifting you!
