Great tutorial. I liked the way you explained everything first and then showed us how to put it into practice.
Yasmine S. Interesting. I actually never used gouache aside from painting some small highlights and such. :)
I liked that you explained technical stuff for example the 4 stages or levels of wetness and how to deal with it during the painting process :) By the way you can follow my @gatidibujos in Instagram if you like cats and illustration ;)
Don't go on autopilot!! Great advice I tend to follow my pencil lines to much :)
I like your calming way of speaking...gently guiding us to a better understanding of watercolor characteristics.
I like it too!! Calming
I agree!
For me, the most important tip was your warning about re-wetting making it less fresh looking.
I agree
Great demonstration! When you were painting around the river, I was very tense, almost holding my breath, and then you said it was stressful for you to paint like that and that you get quite tired afterwards. I felt validated, knowing I’m not the only one who experiences that kind of stress while painting. You are a wonderful teacher and artist.
You are so right. Knowing someone else shares that experience makes us feel less alone.
My artist tutor called it 'living dangerously'!
Yes.. You are a Great Artist 🙏
Beautiful paint!
Best feature of this channel is you always paint after teaching.
"adding more details breaks the scale"
As an oil painter, watercolor is such a mystery to me! I think it’s the surrender to the medium that’s necessary that I find so difficult. It does what it does and you have to accept the results, or find a way to manipulate it. I really enjoy watching your video and definitely learned something!
Dennis Tyson Plein Air thank you! I used to paint with oil and acrylic paint and then digital. Now watercolor, does take sometime to get use to, but I am familiar with it, it’s a very freeing experience :)
@Yasmine S. It seems to me with watercolors you almost need to paint in reverse. Instead of putting the snow on top of a pine tree, you leave the area white where the snow will be later, and paint around it with the darker colors of the tree. Why must I always pick the most difficult way to do things? I don't know, but the idea of my brain trying to figure out how to do this intrigues me.
Lol I’m a watercolor artist that feels the same way about oils!
Suggesting our practice, gives us permission to make mistakes from a very knowledgeable person. You are super duper thank you very much.
You talk the talk and paint the paint. Awesome.
thank you , principles are exactly what i needed. i watched a lot of videos about wet on wet , but you are the only one who gave me any idea of the time frame in which i should be applying the technique. (i had no idea of it ). i also never considered that drying paper was thirstier than wet paper , or the effect of having more water on my brush than on the painting .... i feel like i can now at least start diagnosing my mistakes instead of just staring at them .. thank you again for your calm explanation of things i did not know enough about to even ask
Excellent demo, thank you 😊
I learned so much from your video in just 15 min. Controlling the amount of water in your brush seems obvious but very important!
Wow, I have been missing this guy my whole life, and found him just now, 3 years later, I am late but very grateful of this amazing lesson
I know this is 2 years old already, but the way you explained and showed different wetness stages REALLY helped me understand. I was able to watch your painting and understand why and how you were choosing the paint mixtures, your timing, and the paint consistency! I'm kinda blown away as I've not seen someone explain wet on wet this way, so thank you!
Having less water in your mixture than on the paper was a revelation. Thank you so much!
Eric is not just calm, he is knowledgeable and confident which readily opens his student's mind. Gem Evans
putting your knowledge aside, I love your approach. I also like your soft and direct voice.
You are a good artist as well as a good teacher, thank God since I have happened to watch your videos.
I appreciate your way of teaching. Very understandable clear lesson. Thank you. I will be watching more.
Izvrsno prikazano teoretski i praktično.Hvala Vam!
A very helpful lesson from a very experienced and talented teacher.
I just discovered your work this week. After hundreds of hours of studying I can honestly say you give the best tips. You're articulate and detailed in explaining. I am grateful to all who teach me so a special thanks Eric. I appreciate it. I will continue to enjoy your videos.
R Brunet that means so much! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for your calm explaination and demonstration! I have never had a real-life art teacher, and drawing along with your videos helps a lot!
Yes, I agree with the comment about the "re-wetting", that is a common mistake! Thank you for your clear instructions and gifts!
Correct, I fought with this until I realized that it just is not possible.
A Beautiful painting from start to finish.
Trusting the water is SO HARD. Trying not to rework is SO HARD. Thank you for validating how challenging this is and that practice is key. I’m going to challenge myself to practice wet on wet everyday.
My hearties salutation for this free and valuable class......
"Namaste" from India...
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is the best watercolor channel. You are a great teacher. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you! ☺️
yes, its great,,but you should see some great artist as well,,you should watch Yong Chen.
Such an excellent tutorial . Thank you Eric. You are brilliant ☺
I love the way you speak as well as your painting
All the tip are helpful. They show your mastery of your medium. And your demo is genius. Thank you so much
Very nice demonstration Sir,Nice information Sir.
Beautiful. I love the word “Mushi” so cute. You have a lovely voice and teaching style
It was SO relaxing to hear the water flowing while you explained your steps and techniques. Your voice is also soothing. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Sherry Roberts so glad you enjoy it ☺️
Very helpful…enjoy how you talk over so its clear what your deicisions were as you painted
Great job. Not only are you a skilled Artist but a competent Teacher as Well. TY.
Eric are you planning on modifying your Subscription plan on your Lessons? Reason I ask is I know myself I learn in Small Steps and it would be more affordable for me. The Price is More than fair in my Opinion. Thanks.
Thank you for your teachings they are so helpful.
I love the simplicity of this as it makes me realise less is more.
I really love how you speak slowly and clearly ! Great tutorial and amazing artist!
Great video. The learning in this video is extraordinary. Great important tips...
Wonderful useful tips. The painting example used illustrated your points. Very nice painting! Thank you!!
Thank you for taking the time to explain things. I am like a sponge just soaking it all in. This landscape gives you a sense of vastness and beauty. You make it look so easy. Thanks once again.
Your explanations and tips are very logical, easy to comprehend and worth listening. Thanks.
I could watch you paint for hours. Your work is beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you so much =)
I like your relaxing approach. I like your economy of speech. Thank you for your generosity I appreciate the knowledge transfer.
Brilliant! This is one of the best videos on this topic! I like the teaching techniques, very organized and explicitly explained. The demonstration is also captivating. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the way in which you taught this video, with practical application, showing, not just telling, including the way you were mixing paints as you were painting, adding detail to the washes as you were painting. I will definitely practice this tutorial. It answered so many questions. I have been using too much water and too much paint. When I mix colors ahead of time they seem to dry by the time I'm ready to use them and I waste more paint by in between rinsing. The way you did this was so real time refreshing and efficient. Subscribed! I look forward to learning more from you.
Thank you so much for your démonstration!
Thank you - your finished piece is beautiful.
I love watching your demos. You are very knowledgable and bring it across in your soft way of speaking. Thank You! I will paint along with you later.
Very clear and helpful. Thank you.
An excellent tutorial, The end-result is lovely and memoriable.
Excellent work. I sometimes struggle with my wet-on-wet technique, so your commentary is incredibly helpful for me to remember to not overdo things.
This was fabulous, thank you! I am brand new to watercolor and the most helpful tip to me was to PRACTICE!
A truly beautiful finished result and a truly informative and helpful video about the process! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much. I struggle between wet on wet and dry-detail. This video helps. I’m new to wc with a past in acrylic where it’s all painting without any interaction with the paper, water or air (drying).
Wow thank you for your guidance… and your art!
You give a very clear directions with a relaxed manner. You are my new water colour teacher. Cheers 🥂
Love this! Love how you work from top to bottom and no over-working. Freshness is key!
I’m very much a beginner. All your videos are very helpful. From this one, I learned about the importance of knowing what you want to show and use darker color to creat shadow and structure. Thanks for doing these technique videos.
Goodness water colors are so terminating scary too but finally when we dive into this watercolor your method truly works thank you sir
Eric that was an excellent lesson in wet on wet principles and in perspective as well.Thank you very much!
What a beautiful painting!
All the tips are very helpful, thank you so much!
Have always avoided watercolour as too difficult to make a good painting. So interesting to learn the insider principles and then see you using a real painting to illustrate that principle ... I feel encouraged to have a try now..Thank you
Thank you for sharing your talent. I am 70 and learning watercolor.
Alicia Mersdorf wonderful! ☺️ welcome!
Thank you. Painted in watercolour before but haven't really done that much wet into wet. This was helpful. One thing I very much like is not painting everything I see....but so tempted to do so. Have a nice day!
I'm a beginner watercolourist, and love your videos.... I'm struggling with my paper drying during wet-on-wet and never thought to use your "rolling wash" method (as I call it), as you demonstrate here..... I'll try it tomorrow.... Thank you 😊
I just found your videos, Erik, and they are just what I needed today. Thank-you!
I keep coming back to this video again and again! When I have been away from wc for a while I use it as a primer to get ready. Thank you for this :)
As always, wonderful! Thank you 😊
The steps you ask to follow a water colour artist....a beginner.....are sincerely put! 👍👍👍👌👌👌😊😊😊 And I sincerly like your attitude or rather your approach!!!😊😊😊
Thank you for giving best advice to us.
From Chile. Thanks so much for your detailed explanations. This video has been very useful for me.
Eric, I really appreciate the patience and kindness that you speak with. You are easy to listen to and I have started putting your videos up while I paint, even if I am not doing the same thing because I always pick something up you said that I can use in whatever I am doing - even though I mostly screw it up! Your slight misuse of the English language is also endearing and makes it like I am listening to a friend. Don't stop your videos..! Question: I seem to be hopping from here to there, with no real plan to teach myself any of this. Can you recommend a set of lessons to follow OR do YOU have a set of videos that I can follow along that is good for a beginner? Tanks (haa haa). Kym
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 👏🏼💐
Thanks once again for a great tutorial....I like your idea of displaying your reference photo in oone corner...so we get to know what exactly you are painting...the tip on cause of back runs and how to avoid is v useful and a great revelation for me...
Love your painting! Learned a lot!
Thanks you for your helpfull sharing !
Thank you. Your lesson and theoretical method are very clear.. from Alex.☘
Painting too wet for second layer by not waiting for 1st to dry is one mistake (of many) I made. Also, I use too much water. Thank you for all your tips. Back to practice today!😊☺ Have a wonderful day.
Thank you ....love your painting and tips
You are a great teacher! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for the demonstration. I really enjoy watching you paint and seeing how the painting comes together as you progress. It is so helpful.
A lot of useful tips...I haven't painted in years but this video brought out the basic principles of watercolor...now, off to practice!
As always, critical information clearly presented. Great video Eric, and a lovely painting that really demonstrates the principles so well!
simpleshoes thank you Karen as always! 🤗
You are an excellent instructor. I am getting back into watercolor and have been mucking around; very frustrating. But your courses are helping me get some focus and teaching and reminding me of helpful techniques. Thank you!
great vid, could you please provide a link for your new brush? tia
Eric thank you so much. Your thorough explanations are so welcome. I’m watching a video of yours every day, but as you say it’s the ‘doing’ that’s important. I’m self taught. There were no videos, no Utube, no classes available to me 35 years ago. The only way for me was books. That was good, but I could read from cover to cover and unless I put it into practice it was useless. 👩🏻🎨 I’m still “doing”.
Barbra Joan thank you 😊 yes there are resources everywhere now. Aside from attending 1 physical workshop... I learn most of my watercolor online. We are in a good time to learn new skill!
I get worked up regarding the tone and especially the colour of shadows. Do you have a video on cast shadows. For example when say a boat hull casts a shadow on sand will the shadow cast be a darker and cooler shade of the sand or a grey tree trunks shadow on grass would be a darker shade of grass colour?? Etc thanks for the great videos I have just found on this channel. Regards Andy
Hey! Colourtheory is very important for this issue! Having your colour which is used for the non shaded part and then add to that the complimentary colour, this mostly gets the trick done.
Thinking about warmer and cooler colours also is important. Looking into that and then experimenting is inportant. Hope i could explain a little :)
Hi Eric. Thank you very much for your generosity. I have downloaded your ebook, which is excellent and extremely helpful. I will enjoy putting you tips into action. Kind regards.
Beautiful way you paint
Great video. Lots of good information. Thank you for sharing.
Your tutorials r so exciting n educative...Best wishes .!!
Thank you so much Eric. I have just started watercolor and I am so glad I found your video. I am sure it will help me eliminate my cauliflower edges and mud!
Also, I loved watching you paint but I am not ready to try that yet!
Wow! So good. I have tried wet on wet but l lost control and it ended up a disaster so I have been focusing only on dry paper painting. This lecture has been so helpfully clear. Thank you.
Wow! Thank you so much! You are a great painter and I am so thankful for you sharing your experience!
Thank you, I’m new to watercolor, this helps a lot!
An amazing lesson!!
Informative and helpful.
Much Appreciated. Cape Town
Thank you so much Eric. I love your videos very clear and understanding elaboration. It was very helpful.
Thank you! Glad you find it helpful ☺️
