    Thanks Rusty, as a beginner who watches many videos, I found this one (the first of yours that I've watched so far) to be particularly useful as you explain the progression of each stage so clearly. Very clever the way you use successive layers of glazing to create and develop form. Brilliant. I have subscribed and intend to watch more of your videos, thank you.

    Absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed watching. You are a great artist and I learned a lot. Now if I can just apply it in my painting. I'm way too much of a perfectionist. I don't want it to look like a child painted it. But the tightness causes it to be boring to look at. Yours is interesting and exciting. Thanks so much for posting.

    • @prof_nelson
      @prof_nelson  Před 6 měsíci

      Definitely, get in there and start painting. I understand the perfectionist urge, I have it too. But, get in there and paint and work through those issues. If you practice and develop a range of mark-making skills, it will get you beyond the child-like stage.

    I really enjoyed watching your process. I’ve done drawings with charcoal in the past but I’m still very much a beginner at watercolor. I would have loved it if you could have explained what colors you used and how you layered and blended them. I’m currently watching a lot of videos on line and wash styles of watercolor but would really love to do work this realistic. Your art is beautiful

    • @prof_nelson
      @prof_nelson  Před 5 měsíci

      What will help color-wise is to paint yourself a color wheel and keep it nearby as you paint. It will help you make color choices. Keep in mind the harmonious colors, primary, second, and tertiary colors and the primary, secondary, tertiary triads.

    Beautiful work, but one difficult thing that I find out is to stop at the right time, to know when one starts overworking the piece. I think you had completed it and some of the highlights weren’t necessary. It’s only my opinion not a criticism, since all artists tend to do this. You are a great watercolor artist, it’s a joy to see you working.

    • @prof_nelson

    I have seen in a drawing channel I follow that he post under community the picture of what he is going to draw, and that helps a lot as I can try to repeat the process by myself. Can you do something similar with your final painting? It will be great to try to follow the process by myself with the guide of your finished painting. Hope my comment makes sense 😊

    • @prof_nelson
      @prof_nelson  Před 4 měsíci

      Sure, I’ll try to do that in the future. Since several watercolors are from Pinterest reference images, I’m being cautious about copyright infringement.

    Is it really nessesory to get an expensive paper at the beginning
    Can I use 200 gsm paper

    • @prof_nelson
      @prof_nelson  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Nope, get a cheaper grade of paper. You’ll need to practice a lot, so no need to burn through good paper. The 200 gsm will work just fine. You might want to tape it down so the curling won’t cause problems for you.

      I have several palettes. In this video I am using a heavy porcelain palette with the colors arranged in a color wheel format. With this big palette, I use tube watercolors. I also have several pan color travel palettes (that I have been using in the shorter tutorials). Hope this helps.
