  • James Gurney, Christopher L. Evans, and Jeanette Gurney paint Thomas Cole's Old Studio using watercolor, gouache, and line-and-wash. As they paint, they compare notes about perspective, eye level, and keeping brushes clean.

    Hello James….Really enjoy seeing Jeanettes ink drawing at first part of the video. Just got back from a month of drawing and painting in Kenya on safari and the coast and thought about how you put things together…might even send you one or two. Take care

    Jeanettes turned out beautiful! Normally I finish a video inspired by James art but this time I want to try my hand at a line and wash painting.

  • @michaelavolio
    @michaelavolio Před 2 lety +7

    Fascinating to compare three different artists' takes on the same exact subject from the same angle on the same day!
    And I'd always assumed Jeanette handled the camera when James didn't have it in his hands or on a tripod, but the moving group shot at 0:11 suggests there's someone else there (unless the camera is on some kind of auto-panning device)...!
    Also, thanks for including the practical advice about keeping brushes clean, etc. I find concrete tips are both extremely helpful and harder to find.

  • @mariakilson5851
    @mariakilson5851 Před 2 lety +14

    What an interesting angle! The house looks really tricky to draw! About cleaning brushes, I usually wipe most of the paint in the brush in a damp towel or paper towel, then it's less for the water to wash up. If you're using certain pigments or paints, it's best not to throw that dirty water out on the plants around you, so I try to make it last.

    • @recoveringsoul755
      @recoveringsoul755 Před 2 lety +3

      yeah, that is a good plan to preserve the water by wiping the brush. If you aren't using toxic pigments like Cadmium it "might" be ok to dump water in grass. I've been told never to do that though.

    Interesting building. I actually really liked Jeanette's version of this, it was the only one showing the stairway under the house, which added a lot to the image for me, showing the scale better
    Every time I hear "Line and Wash" I think of wet laundry on a clothes line, lol. Maybe you could paint that scene!

      @@jennifernewmanart haha, sorry. My neighbors when I was little had one of those umbrella types of clothes lines, on a metal pole that spun around while they stood there and took laundry from the basket and put it up with clothespins. So that's usually what I think of. Or if you're in a big city the lines hung between two buildings

    Thomas Cole is one of the finest figure of the Hudson River School of Painting and, in my humble opinion, you would make him proud sir! I just send you an e-mail via your blogspot (didn't even think to reach you directly in this comment section!) asking you if you had any plans to publish a book of reproductions of your urban sketches in watercolor and gouache? (that and your landscapes reminiscent of the HRS of painting!) since it's the aspect of your work I personally prefer and find myself loving more and more with each new post you put out there! I would loooove to put my hands on such a book! Anyway, keep producing such gorgeous work and all the Best to you and your loved ones!

    On the throwing away the water in the grass.. that is really bad. Some paint shave heavy metals that can SEVERELY contaminate the area. IF there is an underground water source it can get poisoned by it. NEVER throw water with paints on places that will not collect into water treatment facilities.

    I like Chris’s style but I don’t like the thought of artists just dumping their dirty paint water in the grass wherever they are, esp if that’s someone’s property. Paints almost always have toxic chemicals in them, that seems like you could end up harming any animals if they were to come by and eat/drink something, and even without that it’s still strange that someone would just dump those into the earth :/
