    I rarely watch a watercolor video of this length, but I couldn't turn this one off. You made it thoroughly informative and entertaining. I felt like I was constantly learning the entire time. Beautiful painting. Thank you!

    From the depth of the Sonora Desert (Arizona) how refreshing, how green and blue! All through the demo, I held my breath, the tree on the left is too fuzzy, too soft... then with seconds to spare walla! Sunlight, and the fuzzy tree has form. Thank you. Excellent demo!

    I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for these videos and all you do. After becoming disabled last year at only 41 yrs old I started taking my painting serious and it has saved my life. Your teaching has cleared up so many mistakes I had been making. Much respect and you have a big fan here for life. Thanks again.

    Hi Grahame, thank you for this lovely demonstration, I have been struggling to get going with the 3 layer wash system, but at last success, your words "if there is no bead your paint is not wet enough" has done it for me. Kind regards Clive

    • @PaintingWatercolour
      @PaintingWatercolour  Před 3 lety

      That bead is so important Clive and painting wetter can make such a difference to a painting. Glad to have been of help.

    I came across you by accident painting this lovely picture and I absolutely love how you instructed everything so clearly along the way. I learned so much. I’ve always wanted to paint in your style but never seem to be able to do it. Fabulous picture. Thank you so much. I hope you have more paintings along this line. Can’t wait to see them.

  • @kbaroland

    That tutorial was / is fantastic. I’d go as far to say it is the most informative video I’ve ever watched on watercolour painting. I love the clear colour references and the ability to see you mix them and to know your thoughts when choosing the colours and when and where to put them. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

    IT’S REALLY LOVELY HOW THE WHOLE PAINTING STARTS TO HAVE THAT SOFT GOLDEN GREEN GLOW TO IT, AND IT REALLY BECOMES APPARENT AFTER THE DARKER TONES ARE ADDED.
    There are a couple MASTERFUL water colorists on YT and you’re on that list!
    Thanks for sharing!

    Loved your video as usual Graham. I think your greatest attribute as a 'teacher' is sharing your vulnerability as the painting develops from am idea in your mind, to a statement on the paper. You don't know exactly what is going to emerge but with experience and confidence you do achieve your objective and this gives the viewers hope that they too are just as vulnerable to this testing medium as you are.....but with practice it can be done!
    thank you from Cape Town.

    That sword rigger is fantastic. I think I have one, it looks fantastic for painting branches. Do you twirl it around, while you paint? I was trying to see that...
    Thank you so much for taking us all on a trip though bluebell land.❤️

    • @PaintingWatercolour
      @PaintingWatercolour  Před 3 lety

      I don't really twirl it Maria. Instead it is more like little quick jerky movements to create the twigs. If you paint too slowly, the twigs can become rounded instead of being relatively straight.
