Advancing with Watercolor - Building the Picture - part 2 “Along the Zattere"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- This video was created with the avid watercolorist in mind to address common problems that we encounter.In Todays episode I develop a project started last week in a previous video. I address how the artist builds the painting using color, edges, shapes, and composition. This image comes from a recent visit abroad to Venice Italy. The painting is a nocturne of a cafe along the Zattare. In this video I develop a larger watercolor based on the tonal study and several “practices” Tacking problems of design, paint consistency, and spontaneity as I develop the painting
Stay tuned.
Please share this video with your watercolor fiends!

After watching Part 1, I simply had to see how Part 2 evolved. Magnificent! Your initial washes, just as you explained, came through to produce the luminosity that you had hoped and more importantly, planned for.
After watching both of your two videos as my first introduction to your channel, I am ever more convinced of the importance of painting a tonal study of any sketch, thereby laying the ground work toward creating the very same image in the glorious magic of watercolor.
Another wonderfully talented artist, Niaz Hannon, stresses the importance of having your thumbnail sketches and making your adjustments, studying your light, knowing where your darkest contrasts will be and where your lightest light is. And then most importantly, having a plan.
These are best practices that I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to learn through this venue from such superbly talented artists as yourself. Your generosity of spirit is truly amazing and quite helpful to this little old/young at heart lady who has taken a love to watercolor in her sunset years.👩🦳🖌️
your contrasts of warmth involved in all the light and deep dark tones work so well
Thank you so much Gary! Few are so kind to show what goes on behind the scene so minutely! A zillion thanks and God bless 😊
Am really inspired thank you
Thanks very much Gary. It never fails to amaze me that after a first wash, which seems to confuse the pencil lines, that you manage to build up the layers effortlessly and produce Le Zattere by night. The atmosphere is perfect! I know the place well.
Watercolor has its mind you said is very true. I learned to lose my grip since I learned watercolor. You can really show me how. Thank you Gary!
Many thanks, Maestro *Gary Tucker*, an admirer of your style.
J'ai visionné un grand nombre de vos vidéos : j'en arrive à une conclusion ; on parle de spontanéité dans l'aquarelle mais en fait c'est un processus mûrement réfléchi et élaboré. Bravo pour vos réalisations.
Very enjoyable and informative. Thanks for taking the time to show us your process.
Спасибо ❤❤❤
Thank you Gary for the video and the PDF. Very interesting to read, thank you.
Gary l see your studio is bright and space,nice. I like your each of painting and you are a great teacher,talented artist help me a lot.Some time challenge gives anxiety,just doing comfortable way. I paint in portrait and landscape format,currently I study a book “Learn to paint people. “
I can also recommend Charles Reid’s book Painting Portraits in Watercolor....
thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, always a great tutor. happy long life
Thanks for another wonderful , informative video , your work is wonderful , I particularly like the tonal study you did to prepare for the main piece 😊 Thankyou for sharing your knowledge , so inspiring 😊
Thank you. Its been really informative following this study and I really appreciate the time you put in with all the extra materials.
I love this one.
Great painting.
Vibha- thank you
Great atmosphere, a masterclass in night painting!
Really nice Gary, as with the previous commenter, love your work.
Apple does not own rotating screens. Just an FYI. I don't know of a phone or tablet that does not have an accelerometer to automatical rotate the acreen. I love your videos and you have taught me a lot.
And I am working on a 3' x 4' oil. I started with a charcoal study to get my values where I want them and then a water color to check my tones. Repetition is good. I want to know every feature in my painting before I start a long oil painting process. Repetition is good.
Great tutor, learnt a lot from your tutorials
a big thank you for these gifts that he gives us. seeing the creation process is very important. Could you explain the use of the spry that I see use every now and then ? could then tell us what could be a good set of brushes to use (size and type of hair) ?thank you
Carlo - Thanks for taking the time to share your comments
I use the spray bottle to keep and area damp so that I can continue to build the color...

Thank you! 😊
Beautiful light....such a great tutorial and love how the painting turned out.
One question.... what colour do you normally use for the tonal study? Would Paynes Grey work? Thank you. Annika
Annika
Thanks for sharing -
I usually use neutral tint (black) or sepia because of the range in value - Payne’s gray would also work ;)
always interesting...ty
Wow, that's so cool...... ^^
