There are many good watercolor artists on the Internet but you stand out as a teacher because you show why things happen with our paints, not just how to copy. Thank you for this.
@@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442I concur. You are by far the best watercolor teacher I've come across. Knowledgable, thoughtful, and you're really able to see things from a beginner's perspective even though you're a professional. I really appreciate your videos 🙏🏼
Thank you for this man. I always feel like I am having a one on one art lesson from you. Long may you continue as your passion for watercolour is inspirational.
I have fallen in love with this watercolor teacher. I've been painting in various mediums over my long lifetime. Watercolor is my favorite painting medium. I wish I could have started my art lessons with tutorials with Oliver Pyle. Although, I'm grateful I'm able to watch him share his knowledge at this time to keep me interested in painting more. In life, you never stop learning with teachers like Oliver.
Brilliant tutorial Oliver, as usual. After doing watercolour painting for a couple of years I have lost motivation for it over the last year but your tutorials are giving me the zest again to keep going. Just have to not watch you late at night as your soothing voice always sends me to sleep and then I have to watch you again next morning! I think you are by far the best teacher on RUclips.
I have watched many great watercolour artists on the internet but you stand out from the rest as an excellent teacher who has the innate ability to impart knowledge to an unseen audience. I have learned so very much about watercolour basics from watching your videos. Thank you very much.
Finally! I have painted with water-soluble oils and also acrylics for a number of years. Now that I'm retired, I have been experimenting more - and although I have watched several other water colourists, your style is much closer to how I want to paint. Even though I sometimes enjoy just splashing colour around to see what happens, I enjoy realism the most - and your work is the first I have discovered on RUclips that 'speaks' to me in watercolour language. I have only watched about 3 of your videos so far and am delighted to see there are many more to choose from. I am so glad I found your work. Your teaching skills are as effective and inspiring as your finished works. Thank you!
Hello Oliver. I came to art late in life and needing something to help distract me from chronic pain, I tried watercolour and wow am I hooked. I've watched many of your videos and really appreciate the detail you go into, and how much you give to help people. Thank you so much, your videos have really helped me develop my skills.
I loved what you said about supporting small local businesses. This is one of the rules I follow, not limited to the watercolor equipment. I encourage others to do so :)
I am a beginner and I love watercolor. When I started, my artist friends said why do you want to do watercolor. I said because it's unpredictable with a mind of it's own. Thank Mr. Pyle. I feel validated! This was a great lesson and I'm going to watch all. I loved, "and neither do you!"
This is extremely helpful. Especially requiring oneself to just practice brushstrokes rather than jumping in to trying to create a painting. Thank you!
You are the first artist I have watched who has encouraged buying from local art shops…thank you, thank you….I am so tired of you tube artists always suggesting Amazon all the time…and yes, sometimes I need to buy on line as well but always try my local stores first. PS I love your work (and humour.)
I'm two videos in on your channel. So appreciate your tone of speech, you cadence, and thoughtfulness to the beginner (me). Looking forward to engaging the water color medium...now. Thanks again.... Nick.
You are a great instructor. I've been blocked on painting so I'm going through the basics again hoping it will inspire me. Thank you so much for this video.
This is the clearest and most helpful teaching on watercolour I have seen. It has certainly increased my understanding and watercolour skills! Thanks SO much!
!!! Greetings from Montréal, Québec, Canada !!! Since i am starting at painting at 62 yrs. old, I am looking forward to watching your videos and becoming a 'Fair' painter for the FUN of passing time !!! Stay Healthy. Cheers !!!
Total beginner and so happy to find videos by a left-handed artist. Extra bonus- I am from Texas but one of the best walks I ever took was to see Harry’s Rocks!
You are a wonderful inspiration Olly. I cant wait to learn from this series and strengthen my watercolour skills. This was a 1st class tutorial. We are privaledged to have access to your expertise. Thankyou so much. 👍
I am learning so much from your videos. Painting light to dark is totally new for me. I am 64 and just started painting 4 years ago in acrylics, then oils. It feels much like going from my experience as a water skier where I lean back on my skies to snow skiing where I lean forward. It is definitely foreign and one I will have to practice, practice, practice. Your calming voice and patient style is inviting and encouraging. I was just commissioned for a watercolor last week and started with a tree (from your tutorials) which got nearly 200 likes on FB thanks to you! Your teaching is getting me there. Thank you so much! I have shared your YT channel and FB page with friends and family.
I have watched many tutorials. Watching a few of yours was like the lightbulb blazing! The one two three wash is a game changer for me!! Totally relate to your original struggle! Thank you for waking me up to this! You are an amazing teacher
I am so grateful I came across your channel Oliver. After looking at so many tutorials I was becoming discouraged, as I couldn’t find instruction with application. You are so well spoken, and your guidance is so clear. It is magic before my eyes! Thanks from Canada!
best videos on watercolor painting I have found in the net! I am so excited to try out what you are teaching. Dear Oliver, many many thanks for that. Greetings from Munich/Germany
I started painting watercolour very recently and went in blind with a small watercolour set and pad. I did a few ‘paintings’ then came across your channel and your tips videos. Even after my first watch of one of your videos my paintings have vastly improved! And each video I watch provides massive insight and helps so much. Thank you for these videos, they’re great!. I also love that many of your landscapes are in Dorset, which coincidentally was where I bought my watercolour set on holiday a few weeks ago. It’s such a beautiful place and I aim to be able to capture its beauty on paper too.
Greetings! I've been watching, and some rewatching, your videos. So informative. And I really enjoy, and learn, watching your full-length painting demos. Thank you for these lessons.
Great video. Far from the first of yours that I’ve watched but I’d say yours are amoung the best in demonstrating and talking through the various processes. I’ve been painting in acrylic and decided to try watercolour a year and change ago. Small very limited palette aimed at portability and small studies to start. I think I have absorbed as much as I can so time to hit the paper and put these accumulated theories to work.
Thank you so much! such a great artist and awesome teacher. I start folowing your classes about how to paint skies, and I decided to see all your classes from the very beginning. Greetings from Caracas, Venezuela
Thank you Oliver! I watched a lot of beginner videos but you really helped me the most! You`re clear explanations made a huge difference for my paintings!
I appreciate your video,very interesting.I love the one hanging behind you.. That's what actually caught my eye,,which lead me in to listen. Thankyou for your time n sharing.
Great Video thanks Oliver. I've been painting watercolour for only a year but hardly scratching the surface yet! so many different approaches to painting on RUclips; Your style is good for me! Thanks!
it's great to see all those terms visible explained ,wish i had seen this when i started with watercolors, it would have saved me a lot of stress and disapointment-but now i'm very happy and i will spent a lot of time watching and listening to you before going over all the things i did in the past. Thank you so much for taking time to tell/show us what watercolor is
First video I’ve watched done by Oliver P. Hits the nail on its head, dead on! From what I’ve seen, I love his complete works. Close to what I want to achieve. Very well done
Thank you for this wonderful introduction to watercolors! It is exactly what I was looking for as someone who is just beginning my watercolor journey. You are a truly wonderful teacher and so generous with your time and knowledge.
Hi from Spain. I recently discovered your videos and I have to tell you that you are the teacher who has best taught me about watercolor. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It is a luxury to be able to listen to you and learn. Greetings from Granada, Spain. My apologies for my bad English. sorry
Thank you for uploadong these series Oliver! You bring it very clear and calm. Since ive been watching your videos I understand watercolors alot better. It motivates to get started, and helps to get on paper what i have in my head. Keep up the good work!
Wow... great video. Lots of helpful information. You explain things so well. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge with us. Hope i can find more of your beginner videos.
I have watched many watercolor videos, you have done the most to help me understand watercolors and what they can do. I am anxious to watch the rest of your videos. Thank you so much for breaking watercolor painting down to where it makes sense.
Thank you so much. Your explanations are so clear and unpatronising and I love your calmness. I am can't wait for the next one. I have been painting since 2019 and love the medium, but always more to learn. Thanks Oliver.
Thanks so much. I started my watercolor journey about a couple of months ago. I have so many questions. I have watched some of you videos in the past as I am interested in landscapes and love your work. The Color mixing videos inspired me to make the color study charts. So helpful. Anyway, I just found this video and love it. I was sidetracked. I am going to go through your library as you are an excellent teacher! This is the video that I needed the most I dare say. Thanks so much for taking the time to reach out to beginners in a way that can lead to success and love of the medium. You are much appreciated.
Oliver, you are simply the best watercolour tutor on social media, covering as you do, both the theoretical and the practical in a friendly and inspiring way. Best of all, you are magnanimous in offering all your skills and experience for free. For me, you have rekindled my enthusiasm for watercolour in which I had lost heart and had turned to acrylic and oil for solace! Your paintings are truly inspiring and I am so grateful for your erudite tutoring. May you live long and prosper Oliver.
Thank you for the introduction. Ready to watch the next video to gain more knowledge. I love your videos and your style of teaching. Keep up the great work!
Hi, Oliver, your tutorial is simple and easy to understand. My love for landscape had me painting since last year. I have so much to learn. Your paintings are subtle and effortless. Would love to see complete tutorial on your landscape paintings :)
Thank you so much for posting this wonderful informative video. I've been binge watching your channel and today started painting along. What fun! Love getting back to the basics.
very professional style and formatted video, thank you Oliver. A great beginner's introduction to watercolour. looking forward to watching the rest of this series.
Thank you for this introductory on watercolor. It states its the 1st of six-part series, I just want to make sure I didn't miss the rest of the series. Thanks again!
Thank you for this tutorial. I have been using watercolour for a while but not really knowing why things happen as they do. It is great to go back to the basics to try to understand how it works.
Hi Oliver, I love your tutorials, I was very fortunate enough to attend one of your workshops in 2019 and I struggled with my very first seascape but eventually later after the workshop I did manage to produce a lovely peaceful, atmospheric seascape, thank you for inspiring me. Great to see these tutorials on here, so many tips and techniques taught in a patient easy to understand way. Thank you, keep on inspiring us.
Excellent Marie - and thanks for attending. I'm starting to book some in now for 2023 which is exciting - I've missed ding these over the lockdown periods. Which workshop was it out of interest?
@@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442 Hi Oliver, it in March 2019 with the Alresford Art club in Hampshire , it was to create an atmospheric scene that meant something to ourselves, I chose the beach at West Wittering as it's my Happy place, like I said I didn't complete my painting until sometime after the workshop as it was new to me to attempt scenery, also I was going through a difficult time having only lost my Father 3 months ago. I feel now my completed picture reflects my feelings at this time , the picture just depicts a seascape with cloudy sky it was early eve with seagulls it, it is calming and no one around often as it is down there around 7pm when I I would go on my long beach walk b4 going home. It,s a very meditative walk for me , with only the sound of the sea and perhaps the odd sound in the distance of children or dogs playing etc, with most having gone home , fortunately enough to live closer now, although not been as much as I would have liked because of the lockdowns, but I'm surrounded by coasts here at only short distance from myself now, so hopefully many more opportunities to produce seascapes, boat harbours etc. Now again we are in very difficult times with the invasion by Russia, I'm just feeling so sad to see yet another war and the loss of many people, I'm just praying for it to end and soon. Thank you your demos, I'm sure they help us feel calm and able to escape if only for a little while. Kind regards Marie
Writing from the South of France :-) I just discovered your channel and videos, and started with this one. Thanks so much for sharing such valuable information ! You are the only one so far I watched who explains so basic but so important informations of what is watercolor ! I was looking for such information so long ! How to paint watercolor if nobody tells you first that it is transparent !! and so on... I will watch with careful attention all of your lessons, thanks a lot, i made your exercise and learned so much from it :-) Merci beaucoup 🙂
Thanks very much for making these videos. I've been struggling with watercolour for some time, and now at last feel I'm making progress in seeing where I'm going wrong, thanks to your advice!
There are many good watercolor artists on the Internet but you stand out as a teacher because you show why things happen with our paints, not just how to copy. Thank you for this.
Appreciate that Kathryn - thank you. I've always placed value on rationale and analysis, which are rather un-arty, I know!
Took the words right out of my mouth! 100% agreed!
He is indeed a great teacher
@@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442I concur. You are by far the best watercolor teacher I've come across. Knowledgable, thoughtful, and you're really able to see things from a beginner's perspective even though you're a professional. I really appreciate your videos 🙏🏼
That is so true. I will try other tutorials/teachers but continually finding myself coming back here.
Thank you for this man. I always feel like I am having a one on one art lesson from you. Long may you continue as your passion for watercolour is inspirational.
That's very kind Ian - thank you.
I cannot fault any part of your videos. I watch them repeatedly, and with undiminished enjoyment.

You are the only one so far I watched who explains so basic but so important informations of what is watercolor ! I was looking for such information so long ! How to paint watercolor if nobody tells you first that it is transparent !! and so on... I will watch with careful attention all of your lessons, thanks a lot, i made your exercise and learned so much from it :-) Merci beaucoup 🙂
Thanks very much for making these videos. I've been struggling with watercolour for some time, and now at last feel I'm making progress in seeing where I'm going wrong, thanks to your advice!
