- To create a believable space in a painting, you need to create depth. But how do we do that when we are painting on a flat piece of paper? I'm going to share with you 3 basic elements today.
Check out my Watercolor Essential course where I go in-depth about how to achieve these elements:

"Without an atmosphere, we won't be alive." this made me giggle
1/4 science video, 4/4 watercolor video :D. thx for sharing!
Absolutely fantastic! I use oils but you have sparked my interest in watercolour in the future. Thanks you
Nothing wrong with mixing art and science.. Two of my top three favorite things ! ( oh.. the other? .. Banana splits and/or brownies.. Two out of three ain't bad) ; ]
I love how you explained the subject .. very informative and helpful ! Really a great video.. ** Side note.. Cannon Beach .. oh my word .. Heaven on Earth ! great place to illustrate your points.
Eric, you read my mind. I was in Cannon Beach/Tolovanna the weekend before last and ever since I’ve been trying to paint Arcadia beach, which is one beach south of Cannon Beach. I have failed miserably twice, all the while I’ve been looking for a tutorial on how to paint misty beach scenes, couldn’t find any. Just sunny beaches! And here you are painting almost the exact same beach that I’m trying to paint. Unbelievable! It sounds like you were possibly even there the same weekend that we were, May 15th through 17th. I hope you liked it as much as my family does. We always stay at the Tolovanna Inn next to Mo’s. Thanks for the great tutorial, maybe with your great tutorial my 3rd attempt will be a keeper.
I'm so glad! 😊
Thank you, Eric. I am currently attempting to achieve more depth in my watercolor painting. Your explanation and demonstration is very informative and helpful. I have gained so much from your TH-cam videos. Your explanations are detailed and easy to understand.
Love this. I know that beach well. ❤️👍
Thank you Eric.
I painted a picture today and it looked so flat. Everything you did here makes sense. It’s like magic watching it happen!
Like your sense of humour:), but seriously this is very useful, thanks!
Thanks.. needed this...

Gotta love deps.🤭Love you man, thank you for your efforts.
I love your painting ...💕💕💕
Thank you for another helpful video!
Another great tutorial. Thanks Eric
Very good.enjoyed it.thannks Eric
Amazing explanations Eric!! I have a science mind so I liked it more than just the short facts 😃 I'm trying to use this in my illustrations and I think they are very important. Your painting looks amazing! I'm painting mostly fantasy art so I have to think about this depth in my mind before I put it on paper... But this kind of paintings are great for an inspiration. Thank you for sharing 💗🤗💗
Brilliant work
Beautiful, Eric, and very helpful. Thanks!
Beautiful
A great, needed & most helpful one! Thks much Eric!
Thank you Eric for this wonderful demonstration. Your presence in my mind dispels the fear factor. I just feel like painting after watching your videos. What could be more important than this? Love to you Eric 🌷
Wonderful
It’s a lovely painting and even my version turned out pretty well.
The science lesson helped clarify the subject. Thank you!
Thank you!
I just learned so much in this short video about perception and depth...wow.....ty!!
Excellent
03:11 anything we do systematic are science, in that manner water colour painting, techniques, strokes etc falls under science. In someway it is a science channel too.😊😊
Merci ! (Thank you)
A stunning demonstration with great tips to help relative beginners like me, thank you.
It's beautiful
Amazing! Thank you, your description is succinct and clear.
Enjoyed the details..
Thank you Eric; wonderful information; and wonderful painting!🤩👍🏻You’re a great teacher!
Always enjoy learning from your teaching and demonstration. Thank you.
Superb!
Thank u so much Eric for your sharing 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Hell yeah!
It is so helpful listening to your thoughts and decisions.
So very helpful to me ❤
Thank you Eric, this was very helpful. Your explanation of depth is very useful seeing that I am a beginner and struggle with elements like that. It is a lovely painting and I think you captured the scene very well
Thank you.
Whenever I watch your videos, it fill me with calm and inspire me a lot to continue improving my techniques. Thank you for helping us improve our watercolor art!
Thank you for this great lesson. You are a very good teacher and a very talented painter.
I like your landscapes and hope you will post more landscape videos 😊
Very beautiful and soft impression in that watercolor 👏
I will try to do like you this afternoon. Thank you Éric..
it s such a pleasure and revelation to watch your videos, thank you very much, Eric.
Eric I was so happy to hear you visited my state. We all love Canon Beach and all the coast which is completely open to the public (no private ownership of the beach is allowed in Oregon). I have painted similar scans myself but of course you do a better job. Thank you.
Hi Eric, enjoyed the demonstration and instruction on creating depth. Science talk also good. You really bring some fun to your videos. Thank you.
This is beautiful work. I paint with acrylics but I watch videos in watercolour and oil, too; specifically ones that deal with techniques and tips because they are universal (and/or adaptable) to all artwork. Thank you so much for your clear commentary and for sharing your knowledge and skill with others.
WOW...
I'm really enjoying your style of teaching. Thanks for another great video. Subscribed.
Just amazing! It's watercolor at its best! Usually I watch your videos thinking I will try to paint the same pic, but then I don't like copying so I decide to find a similar photo and employ your techniques, but this one is too tempting so I'm gonna give it a try. 😀 between your vids and Young Chen's my painting is much improved. Thanks so much!
So many famous artists earned their spurs copying masters before them … no worry about copying Eric’s work and then doing your own.
@@PM-rl6vb Very good point! Thank you!
Very interesting
4:05 "optical illusions on a flat surface" 🙏
Thanks, Eric. You make it look easy and I know how hard it really is. I love the grainy texture you achieved on the large rock. Was that the color combination you used? I think burnt sienna and cobalt can create that?
I love your videos Eric. Keep them coming. Would love some videos watching you paint. I don't care if it's two hours long. 😅
Loved the video.❤ the whole process seems so obvious while watching. But when i paint, i struggle. Guess ill just keep trying again n again 😪
Excellent demo. What size is the paper?
Thank you for the video , your so good at painting , making it look so easy , do you paint every day ? Xoxo
Not everyday 😅 I wish I am more dedicated. But doing these video definitely motivate me to paint more!
Hmm this was interesting maybe when I take photo on landscape hmm maybe I'll get into drawing and painting it hmm I had a nack of drawing but maybe I could still because like they say never to late try hmm it really helps to something to get a little inspiration from hmm thanks Eric hopefully on day I'll make something out of this.

As I switch my phone to blue light filter 💙 😄
Most learners are 'foggy' about how to create depth & dimension in their paintings... Thanks for helping to clear the 'fog' in our learners' heads by painting this foggy one! Lol
好棒 這樣也可以訓練英文 哈哈哈
Eric, did I hear you to say that all the figures’ heads were more or less on the same plane? I can see that the size of the figures reinforces the depth illusion, but I had never thought about the heads being more or lesson the same plane....?
That has to do with perspective 🙂 I've made another video about it a while back
Ciao, are there subtitles in other languages in your watercolor course?
not at this time, sorry
What colour/s do you use for your rocks?
Wow….
🙋 👍♥😍
Now let's draw Kong in the background
Plzz also tell us about the colour combinations ....amount you mix it and percentage of two colours
That's not something I can easily answer... I don't mix colors with formula it's mostly intuition
@@Cafewatercolor yes ur are absolutely right ..but sometimes i dont know which combinations u used for ur painting ...
Just tell us that u mix that and that colour for particular objects
U r the great artist i must say and the way u explained
Hi, whats is the name of picture ?

I like u 🎉
I am your biggest fan and would love to offer you our guest bedroom and bath if you ever want to paint in washington State . We have a very picturesque farm and mountain view’s
Why water colour is not as much as popular as oil painting
I don't know for certain. But I think it's mostly perception. Oil just seems to be more valuable and "serious" artwork if you know what I mean.😅
I like water colour,but some of my peers and family are always advising me go fro oil medium and they say artistical and structural paintings can be created only by the oil medium .what do you think I need to do .give some advice to me please
I personally think if you can somewhat master watercolor , the other mediums will seem like a piece of cake . Watercolor I believe takes more control and know when to let water do alot of the work
