- Although this advice can apply to any medium it is probably most applicable to watercolor. In this video Painting from imagination for rapid improvement I explain why I make a habit of painting from imagination.
I also explain the difference between painting from imagination and only using photo's or other artwork to copy from. I hope that you enjoy this video and that you give the idea some consideration. It certainly worked for me!

Geez I learn so much from you. More importantly is the validation about painting from imagination. Thank you! I honestly think after years and hours of being a self taught watercolour aspiring (always) artist that you are undoubtedly for me the best teacher I've come across. 😊
Thank you, Howard. I've watched several of your videos over the couple of weeks since I found your channel. I have been painting watercolor for about 10 years now, but I am (of course) still learning, and your videos are wonderful for inspiration and ideas. I love this one for encouraging me to relax and expand my thinking about what appears on the paper as I paint. I look forward to seeing more of your teaching.
Brilliant!
Great lesson….I’m really enjoying and benefitting from your videos. Thank you…..😊
No doubt this is the most important video I have seen in long time
Thanks Michael 🙏

It has given me something to think about Howard. Your channel is one of the very very few that has much to say to me about where I am now. I sometimes spend hours overworking a painting, and end up dissatisfied, and then notice all the random paint marks I’ve made on various scrap bits of watercolour paper when trying out colour mixes and am struck by the beauty of the marks and colour mixes from colours accidentally overlayed. It’s quite frustrating when the rubbish around your painting ends up being much more interesting than the work itself! Do you begin with any idea at all what you are trying to achieve with your very first brush marks?
Hi Spike Yes, I know how frustrating it can be. I also know exactly what you mean about the incidental brush marks that look more exciting than the ones that you have laboured over. There-in lies the answer! It's not necessarily wrong to over work your paintings, we sometimes learn our best skills in these moments. I still do it myself! However, when I can't seem to break free from over working I turn to these quick exercises from imagination to get me back on track! To answer your question about starting with a specific idea: for these quickies I usually lean towards doing a land/seascape or city/townscape, sometimes a different subject matter will come to mind. Landscapes allow for far more freedom of brush work while cityscapes call for a more disciplined approach, you have to consider such issues like perspective etc, it depends on what I think is going to be most beneficial at the time. What ever it is that I'm planning to paint next will dictate the subject matter of the quick exercise! I hope that helps! Good luck! 👍
I'm almost there ...I'm still being kinda precious.
Don't be too hard on yourself Termite, I don't think anyone has ever "got there" It's more about the trying. Improvement is our reward! 🙏
Well, that was the dirtiest palette I’ve seen you start with. Perhaps that encourages imaginative painting.
Ha ha! Not sure about that but it does keep things simple! 👍
