work was done with 140lb rough paper, cad yellow light, lavender, cad orange, cad red, and ult blue and neutral tint and a series of small and large mop brushes.
Thank you

This is one of the best water colour painting demonstrations I have ever seen. Thank you so much for your time and efforts I myself being an artist learnt a lot from you.Thank you once again.
Thank you Mr. Tucker. 😊 Loved the thinking out loud approach to teaching. I can feel the energy in this painting. I learned how you went about developing the idea. At the the same time there was practial instruction for tonal value studies, warm up, setting intention, color intensity, moving light to dark, creating and paying attention to the center of interest. The lavendar sky was lovely. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this tutorial. I appreciate the fact that you talk about your process, really helps us understand the whys and hows of a painting.
This is so beautiful! I will start with the tonal study. So inspiring and so vibrant. Thank you! Best regards from Berlin!
Great art, as we see here, transcends the material... captures a piece of God and brings it to earth for all the world to see... or in the case of music, to hear. EXCELLENT WORK, Gary!
Great advice in life and in watercolor. This is a Stunning painting! It’s in the top five of my favorite ones that you have done. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and talent with us. I’m already looking forward to the next lesson. Blessings, Stacy
Inspiring, your sensibility is perfectly connect with your krafts, it,s a pleasure to listen to your video.
Great lesson. I always learn a lot from Gary’s watercolor videos
What I find also so amazing is how the brush skipping along the surface of the tree form closest to the fore, has given the appearance of snow nestled into the bark. Your whole process is wwonderdul - thank you!
I like the way you describe the details of this painting ( the shadows of the people before seeing the people) perfect.
This is the true definition of an optimist and superb artist Gary,
many thanks for sharing this video..
Very beautiful sketch with a combination of soft fading strokes and sharp edges and complimentary colors! I love the energy as it bursts forward from the invisible sun in the background! Thank you for posting your talent and love of painting with everyone!
Tina - a beautiful description - thank you for sharing 👍
Watching this picture makes me feel the cold weather, the bleakness of that winter day. Great piece of art.
I love how you admired the sky. such a beautiful glow. nicely done. you have convinced me to take watercolor more seriously. I currently just have a little kit with limited colors. thanks
HIS DEMO IS GREAT & INVALUANLE FOR AMATEUR ARTISTS..
Beatiful painting! I thank you so much for your clear demonstrations.
Wonderful way to paint using strokes.And the commentary is very precise
I love your use of limited pallete and loose, lively style of painting....very satisfying to watch, thank you!

Gary you are very gifted and enjoyed seeing you painting and thanks for your words of wisdom also you have so much passion for art and I look forward to seeing your videos soon.
Absolutely stunning Gary! That sunset and shadows realy did the trick.
Thank you so much for sharing! 💕
Wonderfully painted, especially like the loose style of the trees, the color of the sky and reflections. Thank you for explaining your approach to the finished piece.
I have just discovered you and your wonderful teaching. I have watched five of your videos and I'm hooked. The glow that your painting have is amazing. I love your work and want to try and advance my paintings with your advice. Thank you for the videos. They are surely helping me get through being home.
Thank you Kathy, I am happy to read that you are embracing watercolor during this challenging time. Thx for the support
I can't relate to this subject being from California originally and now in Florida, but I love the premise of unity and using these tonal studies before jumping into the painting. Thank you!
Wow! Another awesome masterpiece. Keep sharing your awesome talent sir. ☺️💕👍🏻
Excitement and delight at the your creation, building of a beautiful painting is how I am affected. Thank you.
Found this by accident. I was looking up 'Unity Watercolor Shadergraph'. I just wanted to say that this looks amazing, man. Keep up the good work!
Thx for the support :)
Pure brilliance thanks fi this I frequently get cough up in a painting the cough out by loosing focus. And then my place
I'm only just getting into painting as post strokecognitive therapy
No real question but thanks for sharing your technique kind regards mickT
SPECTACULAR!!!!! Thank you so much for such a helpful video and for sharing your amazing gift with us!
super work, Gary. Very similar painting style to Sean Terrington Wright - a fine British artist. Great to see Impressionism alive!
Merry Christmas to you Gary .
The painting was so good. I liked the strokes very much. I would like to know how to practice those strokes.
Hello Mr. Tucker! Normally I don't enjoy a speedpainting video, actually, yours is the first one I really enjoyed. Together with your calm explanations, it worked perfectly for me. I am a beginner in watercolor and do a lot of experiences with different ways to use a brush, strokes etc. The problem I came across when I started with watercolor is the fear to start. I don,t know if this is normal but I can,t really understand it. The Video is fantastic! Thanks!! I will overcome my fear and have great hope one day to learn to express myself freely. You have a Portuguese follower. Obrigado!

I agree....having to overcome the fear of making mistakes!!

Loose energetic brushstroke.Beautiful.
I really love both versions. I'm seeing more and more the value of doing the tonal study...you get an extra painting out of the deal too! I don't think I have ever asked myself, "What do you want to say in this piece?" I would like to hear more of your thoughts on this idea. I guess I just have usually wanted things to be "beautiful"...whatever that means.
lovely work i subs11614
Lovely painting. Simply done with few colors. Great job
I paint it,it is so beautiful.How can you always produce such high quality paintings,you are the best.The sun give us the warm,l always pleasing to feel it.
Thanks for the supportive words Fifi - I am flattered you think so :)
Thanks for your reply Gary.❤️
Stunning!!
So great. I wonder why it works, although logically the trees should have shadows as well. I'm glad he didn't put them in. It would have pulled attention away from the focus area. So satisfying lose style.
Really an outstanding conveyance of idea through painting. The effects you produced on my mind were exactly in accord with your description of your chosen techniques to do so. A case of calling your shots and then making them. Super instruction (I paint also).
Oddly, though I love the painting, I’m strongly inclined to think the figures are better without the highlights. I think perhaps it added drama that they were still mired in winter while the promise of Spring lay unrealized at their feet. Cover the highlights in your mind’s eye and tell me what you think?
Nice painting
Gary is a terrific artist and has a wonderful philosophy with art and with life. I am taking his virtual class each week, and have learned a lot . Hope to continue to take Gary classes as long as he has them.. if you have some time, you might want to investigate his classes. I believe his contact info is below. It is so worthwhile...
Thx for the kind words Sarah - much appreciated
Thank you, this was so enjoyable and helpful to watch.
Do I see an accordion ?Art Van Damme was a good friend. My uncle taught him , before he moved to Chicago. I grew up listening to accordions as my uncle lived with us. His name was Ernie Caviani. He went to Chicago to teach also. Have a good day!
Extra brilliant ,. Very. True to nature excellent painting
I just brought a watercolor paint set and I'm going to try and do some landscape painting. Because I alway's wanted to learn.
Thank you!
Wish I could step into this painting. So serene.
It would be helpful if you mentioned the color you are using as you are applying them.
Terrific as usual Gary
Mr. Tucker good day! I am a 60 year old homemaker, formerly a classical performing artist who has retired and am now an aspiring watercolor painter. I have watched your videos and am so inspired by your loose style (i am a very detailed worker and desire to loosen up a bit.) I have a request...is it possible for you to slow down your video so i can appreciate your strokes better? 😊
Amazing work, many thanks.
Magnificent painting thank you very much
Beautiful and very informative! 👍🏻❤️
I like your video a lot. Would you please tell me what brand of the small short handle brush you used in this demo? Thanks
Oh yes, your painting was fantastic.
What brushes are you using?
very good ,,, thanks for the class
Beautiful!
Thanks Gary - I've been back to this lesson as this episode is masterclass if ever there was one. I should ask though, no long shadows on those trees in the midplane? The figures have a nice long shadow and shouldn't the trees? Although I should say, it looks great as it is.
Good question Mick, I guess I would say that including shadows from the big trees would take away from my center of interest-which is the two figures and their long shadows, a good example of sacrificing something beautiful for the bigger picture...
You are just amazing ❤
Thanks Gary for sharing your great lessons can you please say few words on the brushes you suggest to use.
Mr. Tucker is it painting or photograph i Think it a painting Sir you using texture paper or texture color
What a marvel!
like it very much Gary
Capolavoro invernale dai toni caldi
Спасибо все хорошо. красиво. Вот только вопрос. люди и тени это есть.а деревья и тени где? А ведь это немаловажно и естественно. Ни в серпии. ни в цвете этого нет. Ошибка? Или я так вижу?!
Enjoyed watching...
Very nice
Thank you Vijay
FAST AND PERFECT
Marvellous
This is very nice Gary and i look forward to viewing more of your videos Are you on Patreon?

Awesome
Where is the tree shadow?
Minimized the shadow to avoid conflict with the shadows from the figure
Lovely
