I swore to my self-taught self that I would never try painting light again, but now I think I can! Thanks so much for teaching an 80-yr-old some tricks!
@Cindi Woodruff
Mam, you`re a hero❤
never say never
What your actually 80?
nice
I love your openness to life and learning! ❤
Rare combination of art, explanation and video production quality and summary at the end... No hesitation saying you may be one of the best tutors out there.
I was just thinking the same thing. 👍🏻
I agree with that statement Uday!
Great tutorial in not only how to paint but think like an artist. My take away from this demo is to maintenance focus on what is important, color harmony, and not muddy it up with distracting details. Thank you!
The tip for using rose matter permanent as a buffer between the yellow lights and blue sky to avoid getting green in the sky is much appreciated!
So glad that was helpful!
I'm self taught and still learning- in my 60s- out of touch and scared.
You're a great teacher and show rather than tell. Such minute technical points so beautifully clarified ❤ thanks
For the first time, I don’t feel tense when watching a watercolor tutorial. You don’t stress me out on the speed needed for wet on wet .. instead, it was a steady languid pace, where there’s time to mix the color that works. Thank you so much, you are a fantastic teacher.. and I’ve watched many others already 😂
Awesome! Thank you!
OMG!!!!! I love how you don’t have music ❤❤❤ You talk every second and your videos are truly helpful. I don’t feel uptight or have a headache after watching 💕💕💕 THANK YOU!!!!!! I will be back over and over.
A digital artist also need to learn this.
はじめまして。
私は趣味で絵を描いている日本人です。
このように美しい夜景と光の描き方をわかりやすく教えてくださり、ありがとうございます😊
絵の具のオフの仕方によって、光を表現できることが理解できました。
I like your teaching style. Very calm and meditative almost.
Glad you think so!
I have been looking for an explanation on this for YEARS THANK YOU!!!!
So glad I could help!
Absolutely beautiful painting! There is something magical about a streetlamp at night, and you captured it perfectly. Inspirational.
Thank you! I love nocturne scenes. I think there is some magic there too.
I agree something so moody and comforting!
Have you tried black paper...
Beautiful, I always wondered how they got that bright light and glow. Thanks for sharing 😊
I loved this. I enjoyed your calm clear speaking manor.
I'm so glad!
Also: great voice! Gentle and unhurried - makes it easy to listen and learn.
Well, I’m gobsmacked! I’ve always enjoyed watercolors and have never understood how a picture like this is constructed. I’d heard about layering colors and had no idea what that meant either. It was fascinating to watch you build this picture up, bit by bit. It seems a form of magical reverse archeological dig, so to speak. Thank you so much for sharing your talents.
such a beautiful painting! thanks a lot for your explanation and your calm pace, I am looking forward to try this!
You are a great teacher…clear explanations and slow pace. 😊 Thank You.
Thank you, Matthew! You are an exceptional teacher and painter. Your calm and clear instruction has enabled me to do what I didn't think I was capable of and watching you create your beautiful paintings is nothing short of magical. The step by step tutorials with various images are particularly helpful and I appreciate that you include specific colors, brushes and techniques used. At the moment, I'm struggling with trees/greenery and not filling every space, slowly learning that less is more-lol. I look forward to each new tutorial and watch them multiple times.
I had a problem with overworking in my art and your vd is very helpful for me to fix that manner.🥰
How come you have no likes? This is brilliant! And I love how it’s just watching you paint and explain, no music, no distractions.
I like that you're showing the picture you're drawing from. It's very helpful to see your starting work and end result. Thank you!
This vid was a huge help. Thanks, bro.
I am so glad I stuck around for the almost half hour long video, I will definitely implement a lot of the techniques I saw you use into my own paintings
Dang Matt...you've come a LOOOONG way since your first paintings.
I love the subject matter of this painting so much - just lovely. Thank you, Matthew.
I really enjoyed this tutorial and your explanation of the technique and color’s you’re using. Can’t wait to try one of your tutorials. Thank you.

New sub, keep going Matt :)
Beautiful work and excellent instruction. Thank you!
Always “enlightening” with your classes.
More so in this case.
I love Venice at night. Next time, I’d like to see how you manage it with fog. Thanks for your videos 👍🏻
Great suggestion!
Thank you Matthew. Nice to learn from you.
You are amazing. watching I will think initially that you’re off, but then it turns out to be perfect.
clearly I’m a newbie, but am so grateful to have stumbled onto you.
Very nice. Great result. Excellent tutorial. Makes me want to paint.
Great video. Love that you showed the reference picture as you painted.
Great tutorial on lite and simplification. Great impression of Venice, you inspired me to use one of my photos from my Venice vacation. At 70 I’m trying watercolor after acrylics. Thanks for this teaching! Rich B, So Cal.
It is morning and i am having my coffee and i watched your video on painting lights. Relaxing and very instructional. I want to try this immediately.😊
The gouache tip is fantastic...thank you...
I always wondered how to get that glowing light on lamps. I love your explanations as you paint. Thanks for all of the fantastic tips. This painting is amazing!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much for this! I’m teaching myself watercolours after years of digital art, where the process is midrange-> shadows-> highlights, so I’ve never had to think about light before even starting a picture. You’ve finally made it make sense, and now it’s time to practice
Illuminating tutorial. Thank you truly awesome Kathryn
Glad you liked it!!
You just make us understand complex things in easy way ...thanks you sir..
Fantastic demonstration with some really good tips for capturing the light and pairing down the background to depict an uncomplicated scene. Thanks, I just may have to give it a go.

Absolutely fantastic!
Thanks Matthew I really appreciate the lessons..I am having trouble getting light glowing with watercolors and simplifying the scenes I paint. Used acrylics in past in glazes on large projects. After illness I am just back to small sketches I add watercolors and or gouache to. So different to acrylics!! Thanks so much for inspiring me!! I get frustrated without understanding what I am doing wrong and how to improve!! Maybe more on how to really simplify things for painting and values. Also limited pallet work. I cannot afford as many colors as you used. ❤ and 😊 thanks from Canada 🍁.
Great! Wonderful demonstration. Thanks for video.
I really enjoyed watching this. It’s very helpful. Thanks so much!
