- Hope you are well. Today we are going back to our interview series. This time with Andy Evansen. I have been a huge fan of Andy’s work for years. Admittedly, you can see his influence in my work in recent years. I took his workshop back back in 2021. He’s a master when it comes to painting beautiful lighting, capturing wonderful moments, and with a great sense of peacefulness. He is a wonderful teacher as well. He taught me about the importance of value study. This helps simplify my painting a lot. I had the pleasure of interviewing him again this year. We talked a lot about personal style. His journey to become a well-established artist he is today, Obviously this interview is in English, but I still added the subtitle. So you can turn it on if you wish. Ok, let’s grab a drink, get comfortable, and enjoy today’s coffee talk.
I am a specialized doctor but unfortunately, my salary in a third-world country cannot really afford Andy’s courses. 😔 I joined his free workshop this month though through Artefacto and I really had so much fun and the impact to me was truly positive! Next year, once things hopefully get better and once I have a more stable income, I will definitely enroll in these fun and really impactful courses. For now, just want to thank people like you and Andy and the rest of the artists on youtube who provide helpful watercolor techniques and advice! 😀🙏🏾
You welcome. And, I believe with enough searching you can find many useful free resources out there. 😊
Im same like you...but im totally thankful to youtube for such free stuff
I started painting watercolor when I was 13 years old. I painted all through high school, but I quit because I was never happy with my paintings, and now I know why. I was painting old houses and boat houses around my area from photographs. I was at a show one time, and someone said, hey, that's my uncle's boat house down on Back Bay! Now I realize that that was not a good thing. I was painting every knot hole and drip of rust and blade of marsh grass. I could never acheive that loose style I admired so much.
I've started painting again after many years and I've watched a lot of Andy's demonstrations. I did my first value study with connected shapes and it was so freeing. I am really excited to paint again.
thanks for sharing. Love Andy's work.
Thank you, Eric. I am a fan of your work and Mr. Evansen’s. Your videos have been thought-provoking at the same time peacefully inspiring. I admire both of your approaches with the value studies and have been incorporating them into my own work.
Great interview Eric!
Thanks Matt :D
Great video!

Great interview! Yes watercolor is always a challenge! That's why it's so fun!
fantastic interview was really enjoyable listening to Andy, his watercolours are fantastic and have a quality to them that you dont see often
Such an enjoyable interview Eric, thank you. There was much food for thought for me and my search for my own style of painting. I owe a lot to all you wonderful teachers. 🙏
You have found some really fantastic artist to interview. I have enjoyed this series more than I imagined. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Lovely to listen to ❤
Great interview, Eric. You guys have such a great rapport and it was so enjoyable to watch. I appreciate the topic as well, I needed to hear this!
Sure did enjoy this! I’m currently taking one of Andy’s online courses and wow is he an amazing teacher and watercolorist. I wish you both continued happiness and success
Enjoy!
Very kind of you both

My takeaway is that take ingredients and write your own recipe. Thank you 😊
very well put!
从b站来youtube打卡🎉🎉🎉
Eric will you come do a demo here in Australia.We can offer free water mate.
Visiting Australia definitely sounds good. Maybe in the future. 😊
Mr. Eric, Im new to your channel. Im curious if you have made a detailed video on the brands you use (paints, brushes, papers, etc). If not, would you mind making one? I've recently picked up water colors, and Im gradually becoming familiar with the 'market'. Recently I bought some Chromtech paints and discovered that price DOES MATTER lol...so I scored a Windsor-Newton tray today, and there is a huge difference.
