A simple, yet huge take away: ensure that the values SERVE the painting. Thank you Ian, for these gems of insight.
Well said. Thank you and glad you liked it Mark
That was a bit more in depth analysis of how our attention moves through the painting: loved it! Very informative and soothing to watch. So much to learn still... pfff. Thanks!
Wonderful! Enjoy the process, and have fun.
This is amazing break down of values. Usually I got the impression that accurate value is what accurate like in real life!
Hearing you walk through the composition of this painting was so helpful, Ian. I really appreciated learning about the choices you were making and what you were changing versus what you left in from the photo. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us so generously!
You are most welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
Great timing for me, with this video. I'm at the point in painting to learn these things. Not using values had been what kept my paintings from the next level. The way you've explained it in this video is so helpful and such an important thing for painters to learn. Especially when you point out "its the values WITHIN the painting that matter." Not the plein air in front of you, or the photo you're working from, but the painting. Its priceless information. All of your videos are great, but this one is really special.
Thanks so much Alan. Really glad that idea hit home. All the best.
You are a genius when it comes to composition and colors.
This is so helpful. Perhaps I'm just getting dialled in, but listening to your thinking and watching paint go onto your canvas at the same time has really resonated for me this morning. I may try a 'copy' of this painting to reinforce the learnings. Thank you
Hi Joanne, makes me happy to hear the video resonated with you. Making a copy's a good plan if that idea inspires you. Good luck with it. All the best.
Loved how you led the eye to the center of interest way back and not only the value shifts, but the subtle color temperature shifts. This painting sings!
Thank you very much! What a compliment.
A true master class. Just brilliant. Thank you, Ian!
no shenanigans. just incredibly helpful. what great resource you are. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
This is magical! So glad I found your channel. I never understood values, but you explain it so well that I can finally begin to comprehend. Your videos convey this crucial but often vaguely-explained information incredibly well and I believe they might just be what I need. A subscription well-earned. Looking forward to all your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us, it is greatly appreciated.
So excited to find this channel. Started watching last night and can’t stop - so super helpful and informative. Thank you!!
Thank you - great info - loved how you took our eye through the painting...the puzzle of values revealed
I love all of your videos, you've inspired me on painting more landscapes while practising my techniques. Thank you!
As a watercolorist things are not as simple and require more planning but the essence of what you teach is still invaluable.
Ditto David, I work in Acrylics but yes, Ian's insights are applicable across materials
yes I apply this to watercolours too. He covers the basics of painting and visualising very well!
I agree. Composition and value are relevant to all media. Get lots from Ian's tutorials.
HI David, you know they call watercolor the medium of the masters because one most watercolor artists are looking for that nice loose look and using the accidents AND it takes a lot of planning so that is possible. But I'm delighted you find the videos helpful.
Delighted to know it Gerald.
thank you! this is the second video of yours that i've watched, and i'm learning a lot.
Oh wow, I always love your drawings - as evocative as your paintings.
Ian makes fantastic points about values! Thank you.
All of your videos are great but this one really took my breath away, Ian! Wonderful, evocative painting, perfect for illustrating your point about value accuracy being relative to the painting's needs as you designed it. Bravo!
Absolutely scrumptious use of color, value and design. New to the channel but going back over the many different lessons. Big Thanks because your content is easy to understand and thus useful and engaging.
Making that scene look easy! Great painting and explanation of value choices for the scene to read the way the artist wants instead of having to stick with what’s live or how a photo looks.
A lot of freedom in the idea that you could go on location and paint a bright sunny scene in a different way such a overcast, moody :)
Another beautiful moment- thank you for your generosity with your talent and skills- so helpful.
Thank you Ian. Your thinking process makes so much sense even if it’s applied to watercolour. Thank you.
you're an incredibly good teacher and you help with genuine problems artists have, you're like a guardian angel😇
Wonderful transition from a very dark composition through the different stages showing the lights and pulling us in…. Thank you Ian.
Fantastic demonstration. I truly love your channel. Thanks a lot Ian.
Thank you Ian. A brilliant lesson as always. I learnt so much more about edges and contrasts even though I thought I knew about them.
This really helped tremendously. I so often get stuck with photos trying to match values in frustration sets in and never finish. This is so exciting to know and be aware of. Thank you again for such an excellent video.
Thank you, Ian. This may be the most helpful lesson yet. It is inspiring to see that a shift in thinking can lead to such subtlety in the painting-and yet such a profound difference in the satisfaction of creating it. This was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you Don
Great lesson on where to place the contrast and stronger values. Thanks.
You are so welcome
I have been watching you for over a year, you are my saving Grace as I struggle with value and light.
You are the best with explaining. Your a beautiful artists and I admire you and your work. Thank you for taking the time to helping other artists.
Bless you.
Love this painting and demonstration - thank you!
A landscape painting of such strong composition and depth a viewer can easily and joyously fall into. Your carefully orchestrated values of mass and hue make magic. Happy Thanksgiving for another memorable art lesson, Ian.
Thanks so much Christina. Glad you liked the video, and the painting. All the very best for Thanksgiving to you as well.
Excellent demonstration. Thankyou !
This is very helpful! It clarified some questions I’ve struggled with, now I know why I couldn’t get where I want to go and what did I do wrong. Also gave me ideas on how to practice and improve. Thank you!
I’m so impressed, thank you so much.
So useful, relaxed and overall just so easy to listen to and learn. Beautiful painting as well. Great channel
Your videos are always so great. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Hopefully I'll put them to good use in my work
What a great lesson in values and contrasts. Thank you as always. Your knowledge and generosity are so appreciated.
My pleasure! Thank you Karen.
You are a fabulous teacher. Thank you.
Beautiful painting, and SUCH useful teaching . . . . thank you so much Ian! Again and again youre helping me to remember that I'm doing a painting that works, not copying a scene or photograph. I'm really enjoying being a "member of your art school"!
You are very welcome Jonquil! Delighted you are enjoying the videos so much
You are an amazing teacher. I learn something new, or understand something better, with each video lesson. Thank you.
Thank you for doing this one, it was my favorite of all the photos! Love how you simplified the subject. I look forward to trying this in my next session. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
You are so welcome! Happy thanksgiving to you as well
Ian , great demo and subject. The way you did it, sure turned it out beautifully. This one has been a great one for me to learn, big thanks and looking forward, Bob
Hello Ian, I really always learn something new in every painting you do! Great work! Love your style!
Happy to hear that! Thank you Megan
This is one of my most favorite paintings. And the explanation of the relative values was very enlightening. I'm sure that you may have explained the same thing before, but this time, with this illustration, the light simply turned on in my mind. I understood the difficulty I've struggled with in some of my maritime paintings, and more importantly, how to fix it. Thank you.
Stunning!
These are wonderfully informative movies Ian. Thankyou for all your efforts.
Wow the atmosphere created with the background is so amazing!!!
Thank you Paresh!
Great demo of a complicated scene. Thank you!
Great lesson thank you Ian! First time I've heard a Master say that the artist chooses the values🙏
Thank you for the explanation about values in photography.
Excellent lesson and tips! I found this extremely helpful. Thank you!
Gosh I’m going to learn so much from your videos. Thank you so much.
Thx for listing the colors you use. Thanks for sharing your gifts with others. Blessings!
You are so welcome Marcus!
Brilliant. Thank you. I always learn so much. 🖼🖌🎨
Thank you. I appreciate the distinction you just drew between the value needed for the painting vs being true to the photo. That is a leap I really need to make.
Thank you Laura. I hope you find it useful!
i LOVE your paintings!!! theyre so gorgeous!!
I am so enjoying Ian’s advice and find him to be an excellent teacher, as a person who’s been just getting back into making art after a very long pause. Thank you Ian
You are most welcome Brenda. Good luck reengaging. All the best.
Fantastic demo !
Glad you like it!
This was so helpful, especially the idea of letting go of those values in the photo but also in the real life view, in order to serve my idea of the painting is liberating! Thank you once again.
You are so welcome Helen!
Thank you Ian , Brilliant!
Learning so much here. Thank you.
That was excellent. I love your lessons. I think I am learning more from you that will help my painting then... well, possibly from any teacher!
Simply helping to understand what is values but I think the composition of painting will be a very important too ? I believe my eye what I could see much better than photo. Thank you so much. Ian Roberts .
What a wonderful way to wake up! I really like Tuesdays, watching you paint and having my first cup of coffee. It’s a beautiful painting. Thanks👍
Wonderful! I hope you enjoy your cup of coffee. All the best
Very helpful and a beautiful painting. Thank you for your time and your generosity. Each of your lesson is a great gift.
My pleasure. Thank you Joanne
Thank you Ian for yet another instructional video that is so helpful. I learn so much from when you explain your process while you paint. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Stay well!
Thank you Jan! Happy thanksgiving to you and your family as well
such a helpful video...my takeaway just like Mark Donovan..."ensure that the values serve the painting". Thank you so much for this.
You are simply the best!!
Wow that was fantastic Ian , thank you for your clarity of vision and explanation of value masses. I have always been bothered by my photos and why they didn't portray what I remembered when taking them. Thank you for taking us along as you produced a beautiful work of art. Craig
Glad you enjoyed it Craig. All the best
Love your perspective book!
Inspirational! I can imagine the wind in this painting, just look at the waves and the trees in the background. Just the certain amount of light and "wind". I am learning a lot from you. Thank you!
You are most welcome Selma.

THANK YOU, Ian for addressing the question from last week's video.. this is so helpful! I learned so much with this video... especially how you use hard and soft edges intentionally to guide the viewer through the composition. A stunning painting, too!
So glad you liked it. And thank you! All the best Lisa

Simply a remarkable concept, game changing

Happy to help!
this place is a treasure, easily one of the very best (and in some aspects, actually the best) youtube painting channel
Thank you so much. That is very nice of you to say
Very, very helpful! Great points and guidance. Beautiful painting demonstration. Thank you
You are so welcome!
Really like it, much appreciated Ian
Just beautiful, Ian. I see your point exactly about serving the outcome of the painting not the photo. I see what drew you to take the picture, but your painting is just much more striking. LOVE IT.
Thank you so much Martha!
Brilliant tutorial!! 👏 thank you!!
You are welcome Bibi.
Thank you very much, again. It is hugely useful to understand the contrasts.
Glad it was helpful!
Tea and Tuesday mornings with Ian, yay! Getting used to having my head shake with respect and wow! You make it so easy to understand. Such a master! So glad I found your book and that you continue sharing with your groupies.. this was amazing light and shadow and mist and rationale for it all. Thank you!
Thank you so much Alison. Very happy to hear that you are enjoying both the books and the videos. "Tea and Tuesday mornings with Ian" - sounds like a new reality show!
