Love the way you teach and love the way you paint Mr Pitt, thank you for all your content.
So nice of you, thank you.
Just realised why some of my paintings can look flat. Watching you, I now know that sometimes I use the same flat washes by not varying the brush strokes as often as I should. Your picture shows flat and ‘dry brushstrokes’. I feel like this is what they call ‘A Light Bulb Moment’ 😃. 💡💡💡 So thank you Andrew for waking me up. It is all too easy to sink into monotonous painting.
You may have also noticed in the videos that I nearly always dip into another colour when I go back to replenish my brush. This helps to keep my washes interesting and varied (and not ‘flat’).The ‘trick’ is to change the colour but keep the same tone. Good luck and happy painting.
You are a master of color and technique. Thanks for this.
Wow, thank you.
😮 Wow well you have convinced me to have a go with boats. Not one artist as persuaded me , I can hardly believe it. Also I find that I totally understand why you say as you take your time 👋👋
Thanks for watching. Good luck with your boats
I love this painting! Very inspiring. Leaving out all the tedious details and your use of color makes a person want to look at it. It draws you in. Just lovely. Thank you
Thank you very much.
You make it look so easy. It’s wonderful to watch. Thank you for explaining all the colour mixes too. It’s great to be able to see both your painting and your paints. Looking forward to part 2
My pleasure, thanks for your encouragement, it is much appreciated.
This is just amazing. I become an artist just looking at your work. Couldn’t do much during chemo and this is what kept me going.
Thanks very much indeed.
Hope you soon get better.
Thank you, Andrew! You are such an inspiration! Excellent tips!
I appreciate that. Thank you
Thank you, Andrew, so much freshness and light. Your work is gorgeous.
Wow, thank you.
I like the way you explain lots of tips all in the contect of a full painting. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks
Thank you for giving us your tips, its very encouraging for me.
You are welcome, glad the video was helpful.
I Just started back into Watercolors. And I love your art so much better than the others. As you say, "Paint it Once." I don't like all the others with wash over wash . . .
Thank You for your Style and Watercolors 😊 just BEAUTIFUL
Thank you so much.
It's getting way ridiculous. Oversaturation by far on watercolor channels!!
Fantastic advice as always, Andrew! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful. Thank you
Watching you allow the strong colors to merge on the paper was helpful. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks
Wow that’s beautiful !! You made it so simple !! Thanks !! 💚✌️💚
Thank you. Glad the video was helpful.
I love the freshness of your paintings. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you.

Many thanks for getting in touch and for your kind comments, they are much appreciated. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Another excellent video Andrew and I can highly recommend your books!
Glad you like them. Thank you for your support.
Absolutely beautiful work! Thank you so much for sharing these tips..
You are welcome. Thank you
Perfekt tutorial. Easy to understand. :) Thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it. Thanks
Can't wait for episode 2... thanks Andrew
Thanks for watching
I love this painting, and I love your method of teaching. I especially love that you uphold traditional watercolor. Your paintings are always fresh and beautiful.
Thank you very much for your support. Glad you like the videos. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Hi Andrew. Thanks for sharing another great video. I enjoyed this one very much. What I like about the pure watercolour approach is that I can start almost anywhere and do the sky later. By the way, I’m almost done reading your new book on how to paint fresh loose watercolours. I will comment more later, but will say the book is an excellent read! It’s packed with useful information and is beautifully illustrated. I plan to take it with me on vacation next week and hope to complete several new paintings.
Oh, good, thanks for your encouragement. Glad the video and book are proving helpful. Happy painting on holiday.
Though I don’t approach a scene in the same way, ie, I start with the sky, it’s interesting to see how you work. I always learn something from seeing something from a different perspective. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much.
That's another good thing about art! It gives you the freedom to choose your own rules!! Unfortunately, art is the only real form of Democracy and freedom left on this world. So...keep drawing keep painting!! Life is ugly without art!!
YT threw this at me and I couldn't stop watching. Beautiful process, can't wait to see the finished piece!
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks.
Loved the advice about color mixing, especially variations of gray.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks
It’s the wobbles that make me overwork my painting. I’m learning from you, thank-you! Watching for the next.
You’re welcome. Your ‘’wobbles’’ will be different to my wobbles. Keep them. Try not to tidy up your painting and thereby spoil the parts you most like in watercolours by other artists. Good luck.
Thank you so much Andrew; excellent mixture of camera work with clear and simple dialogue as you work. I love watching your pictures as they progress and like to think that maybe I can improve through osmosis. Best wishes to you. Dudley
Glad you enjoy the video. Thanks. Good luck with your painting.

This has been very helpful as are all your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent and time.
Glad you like them. Thanks for getting in touch.
Fantástico trabajo!!! Muy bonito!! 👏🤩👍
Thank you
The lightness, intense colour and freshness is so appealing and you make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing this with us. Your paintings have an immediacy lacking with multiple washes. May I ask about the use of paint fresh from the tube? Do you discard paint you haven’t used when you have finished a painting? Or do you let it harden in the pan? I find that the hardened paint can be re softened with water but it isn’t the same - however discarding it seems so wasteful. Do you have a secret for that as well?
Thanks for getting in touch. My only ‘secret’ is paint regularly so the paint doesn’t get chance to harden.
Thank you Andrew for your clear explanations and demonstrations. I've just found your channel and subscribed. I'll look up your books too.
Thanks for your support and kind comments , they are much appreciated. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you so much ， Love your paint work ，I am looking forward to seeing part 2 ， Have a good day❤
Thanks for your kind comments.
I love your Style!
Thanks very much. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
OMG! I finally found my mentor!
Glad you like the videos. Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Your amazing. You just seem to know which colors go where to make it so real yet so artsy. What's the pallet type. Which brand if you don't mind me asking.
Lovely painting. Please consider using a fresh clean towel! It’s a small thing but the towel you are using is loaded with paint and is very distracting! I’m going to try a watercolour this afternoon . Thanks for the inspiration
Thank you, I will, although I’m quite attached to that old towel!
Andrew, you’re a painting of boats is stunning. I love your fresh colors. Do you place your watercolor paper under the mat and paint on dry paper?
Yes and I nearly always paint on dry paper. I don’t like introducing an unknown amount of water to my paper which is going to further dilute the paint which is going to dry lighter anyway - doesn’t seem to be a helpful technique to me. The ‘water’ part of ‘watercolour’ is the hardest bit to control. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Beautiful. I need more confidence in mixing my greys. Thku
Thanks. Pretty well any blue with an orangey red will produce a grey.
Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks
Thank you Andrew!🙏🍷
My pleasure. Thanks.
Olá meu amigo lindo vídeo linda pintura lindo artesanato ❤😂🎉
Thank you
Very enjoyable. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
Nice !
Thanks.
Thank you for sharing, I'm new to watercolours so found it very helpful. I was just wondering what brush you used, I loved the confidence you have with it and not changing to different brushes
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for getting in touch. If you go to my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk and scroll through the videos you’ll find one which covers all my painting equipment and materials.
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Splendid video! Thanks a lot ! May I ask a question? I struggle with my brushes . Which brush do you use?
I need to buy a new one , but am not certain which one
Thanks for getting in touch. I’m not sure there is such a thing as the perfect brush. The only thing I recommend is keep to natural hair (avoid synthetic brushes). Also keep to round brushes, any medium to large size which points well. I will say, though, I have never solved a painting problem by spending money. Good luck.
Hermosas tus acuarelas felicidades maestro....🇲🇽🇲🇽...
Thank you
Thank you. Inspiring.

Thank you
Hi Andrew, I was just wanting to check what you mean by using fresh gucky paint. Does this mean you fill each well of your palette with tube paint for each painting, and then discard the remainder when you are done? ie you wont come back to that old paint and re-moisten it for a further painting?
I think I am probaly too frugal with my tube paints! That's where this question is coming from
Hi. Yes, I do replenish my paint when needed, but I don’t discard the old paint. I have to say I don’t have a problem with dried up, hard paint because I paint regularly. Painting often is the key. I don’t leave my palette long enough for the paint to dry hard. Soft, juicy paint is the key to rich colour. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
@@AndrewPittArtist Thank you Andrew...ah of course, you are a professional, painting all the time. That's rather exposed me as not painting enough! Thank you for the response, and the incentive to paint more.
Excellent demo and tips, I needed this! Just discovered you.
What degree of moisture is the paper?
I have a book of Turner water colours, lots of 'wobble'.
Congrats on your book!
Glad it was helpful. I paint on dry paper. No pre-wetting.
@@AndrewPittArtist Cheers!
Tkank you very clear.
Glad it was helpful.
One of your previous tutorial you told that ...we must paint with a stroke at point to the others......but now mostly I look the style you put your brush at a paper is the opposite way....I mean you press with a dot without a nice stroke......we are confuse on that....
Sorry about that. Painting is full of contradictions. Use a variety of brush strokes.
Thanks Andrew What brushes are you using? Are they Chinese?
Yes, mainly Chinese calligraphy brushes. If you scroll through the videos on my website you’ll find one which covers all my painting equipment and materials. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
What kind of brush and size did you use in this painting. Thank you.
I’m afraid there aren’t numbers on the Chinese calligraphy brushes I use - at least, not in English. If you scroll through the videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk you’ll see there is one which covers all my painting equipment and materials.
Nun,ja....! !!!
