    Exquisite Frank. When you added the dark green in the lower left-hand corner, the whole thing just went *POP*. Brilliant.

      Thanks Todd, you are right, as you go darker the lights get lighter by contrast.

    You paint so beautifully & keeping those first layers light so the true luminosity can shine through you have mastered! Still a beginner & going in to dark at first learning not best way!

    How interesting to do the darker bits and then glaze the medium values later! I've always learned to do it the opposite but your way felt so intuitive that I think I'm going to try it. Thanks! And I think it's a great painting, too!😅

    • @Frankwatercolours
      @Frankwatercolours  Месяц назад

      I don't use Paynes Gray, I mix cool ultramarine and warm sepia and get a more interesting neutral tint. But each to his own, no right way or wrong way in art.

    And a legendary question, what brushes you used?

    • @Frankwatercolours
      @Frankwatercolours  Месяц назад

      Always start the first light wash with a large synthetic mop style brush, use a no.10 round sable for the caligraphy stage, you are drawiung with the brush, it's all about mark making, not dabbing!

    • @philipduesbury8218
      @philipduesbury8218 Месяц назад

      Dissapointed to hear you are still using sable brushes, modern synthetic brushes are so good now, we don't have to support animal cruelty. Please reconsider.

    • @Frankwatercolours
      @Frankwatercolours  Месяц назад

      @@philipduesbury8218 Right then Philip, I've been in touch with my brush supplier raising your concern, here is the reply... "No animal is killed to make a brush, we are a by-product and use only the tails".

    • @Philip-q3s
      @Philip-q3s 23 дня назад

      Thank you for your reply and not just deleting it.
      The production of traditional sable brushes involves the use of animal fur, which raises ethical concerns related to animal welfare. Many artists are becoming increasingly conscious of the environmental and ethical impact of their tools, leading them to explore alternatives to traditional sable
      Sable is banned in the US because the species was grouped into a list of endangered species. Regards Philip.

    Its absolutely pure and fantastic for this type of painting. Your manner does not go with how good you. But this is always the case. By the way I think Picasso was a fraud and he stole ideas from everybody else. He was determined to succeed but I dont think he was a natural artist. Like Matisse Gaugin Monet.

      Totally agree that there is no right or wrong in art, the comment I made was a bit of fun with my online student about Paynes Grey, which I personally don't use. Students always ask me for my opinion, which I am fully entitled to give. I never belittle anyone, it's not my style.
