I am a beginner and I watch lots of videos of many different artists. This is the first time I learned about what to focus on during different stages. Brilliant. Thank you. Subscribed. Please make more like this.
🙋🏻♀️Beginner here. Thankful this video landed in my feed. Of all the countless tutorials I’ve watched yours have made the most sense. Keep posting videos. And thank you!
Absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed watching. You are a great artist and I learned a lot. Now if I can just apply it in my painting. I'm way too much of a perfectionist. I don't want it to look like a child painted it. But the tightness causes it to be boring to look at. Yours is interesting and exciting. Thanks so much for posting.
Definitely, get in there and start painting. I understand the perfectionist urge, I have it too. But, get in there and paint and work through those issues. If you practice and develop a range of mark-making skills, it will get you beyond the child-like stage.
This is a very good demonstration who are not beginners, but, at mid point of students who need clarification on several points of their work to go their next level.
Thanks Rusty, as a beginner who watches many videos, I found this one (the first of yours that I've watched so far) to be particularly useful as you explain the progression of each stage so clearly. Very clever the way you use successive layers of glazing to create and develop form. Brilliant. I have subscribed and intend to watch more of your videos, thank you.
I really enjoyed watching your process. I’ve done drawings with charcoal in the past but I’m still very much a beginner at watercolor. I would have loved it if you could have explained what colors you used and how you layered and blended them. I’m currently watching a lot of videos on line and wash styles of watercolor but would really love to do work this realistic. Your art is beautiful
What will help color-wise is to paint yourself a color wheel and keep it nearby as you paint. It will help you make color choices. Keep in mind the harmonious colors, primary, second, and tertiary colors and the primary, secondary, tertiary triads.
Your video showed up in your feed. I’m so glad it did! I loved the explanation of the steps and the demo. Love the finished product too. And the music. Thank you. I’m subscribing.
Beautiful work, but one difficult thing that I find out is to stop at the right time, to know when one starts overworking the piece. I think you had completed it and some of the highlights weren’t necessary. It’s only my opinion not a criticism, since all artists tend to do this. You are a great watercolor artist, it’s a joy to see you working.
Great demo, thank you. One recommendation (or request) if you could include the colors used (and brand if possible) in the video description when you do these demos. Knowing what you’re using helps a ton in the learning process. ❤
I have seen in a drawing channel I follow that he post under community the picture of what he is going to draw, and that helps a lot as I can try to repeat the process by myself. Can you do something similar with your final painting? It will be great to try to follow the process by myself with the guide of your finished painting. Hope my comment makes sense 😊
Sure, I’ll try to do that in the future. Since several watercolors are from Pinterest reference images, I’m being cautious about copyright infringement.
Nope, get a cheaper grade of paper. You’ll need to practice a lot, so no need to burn through good paper. The 200 gsm will work just fine. You might want to tape it down so the curling won’t cause problems for you.
I have several palettes. In this video I am using a heavy porcelain palette with the colors arranged in a color wheel format. With this big palette, I use tube watercolors. I also have several pan color travel palettes (that I have been using in the shorter tutorials). Hope this helps.
Yep, here's the affiliate link from Amazonamzn.to/3P2QviZ. It is a Jack Richeson Porcelain Palette Stephen Quiller and it is a brick. It is heavy and doesn't move around on my tabletop. I hope you like it.@@yotlor
Sorry about that. I'm still figuring out the whole film-making aspects to this venture. Won't be doing that again. Thanks for watching and putting up with it.
I saw everything you did, and I'm grateful. The sheen from the wet paper from an overhead perspective would have prevented me from seeing well at that stage, so the side camera was a good call. Thanks for this

Thanks Judy. I'll be posting more every week with a different subject matter and problems to solve.
I watched this today and found your presentation and calm style of teaching incredibly valuable. Keep on! Excellent work. Brian - Tbilisi, Georgia
Thanks, Brian, I appreciate it.

Hey Annetta, Great. Keep watching and spread the word. Thanks for watching and happy watercoloring to you too.
At first when you were blocking, I really didn’t think this was going anywhere but I like the finished painting and your instructions. Thx!
Glad you enjoyed it! It was touch and go there for a while.

Interesting the slow enhancement with patient detail 24:10

Yes, If I'm not regularly painting and not in the "zone", I tend to overwork.
@@prof_nelson Thank you for your reply, your work is outstanding.
Brillant! Thank you

Bravo. Would love to know the colors you are using! Thanks❤
The little pan set is a Schipirerr Farben travel pan with some supplemental earth-tone Windsor/Newton colors.
Is it really nessesory to get an expensive paper at the beginning
Can I use 200 gsm paper
Nope, get a cheaper grade of paper. You’ll need to practice a lot, so no need to burn through good paper. The 200 gsm will work just fine. You might want to tape it down so the curling won’t cause problems for you.
Thanks , there are aot of artists who says for water colour you need expensive paper
Are you painting from a photo or an actual still life arrangement?
In this video, I'm working from a photo.
I loved the video but I think it would be helpfull to see the photo. Thanks @@prof_nelson
Thank you
Wouldn’t the thermas cast more shadow on the bowl?
I would need to check my reference to see if I omitted anything in my haste to keep the video brief.
Which Palette do you use?
I have several palettes. In this video I am using a heavy porcelain palette with the colors arranged in a color wheel format. With this big palette, I use tube watercolors. I also have several pan color travel palettes (that I have been using in the shorter tutorials). Hope this helps.
@@prof_nelson thank you. I like the palette in this video. Have you a link or the name of the manufacturer ?
Yep, here's the affiliate link from Amazonamzn.to/3P2QviZ. It is a Jack Richeson Porcelain Palette Stephen Quiller and it is a brick. It is heavy and doesn't move around on my tabletop. I hope you like it.@@yotlor
Thank you everyone for the encouraging comments.
Wish I could see what you're doing more clearly, but the view keeps changing to a sideways camera ! Such a shame.
Sorry about that. I'm still figuring out the whole film-making aspects to this venture. Won't be doing that again. Thanks for watching and putting up with it.
