Thank you for this series, it was informative and a delight to watch. I would never have thought of tackling something like this but the way you broke it down has made me think there's no reason not to give it a go. This was a very generous demonstration!
Oh, thanks very much for getting in touch and your kind comments. Glad the videos were helpful. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you for this well filmed series of videos. I have found them very helpful, especially breaking it down into 5 sections, from the pencil sketch to the finished painting. I appreciate how much work must go in to the filming, so thanks to your behind the scenes, camera crew too!
Glad you like them. Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Bravo!I love the 'touch the paper only once' idea. It makes so much sense and it makes you more thoughtful and careful as you apply the colours. And I also love how you keep changing up the mixture of colours by returning to palette and adding something else to change the colour mix a little before heading back to the paper. I am so inspired! Very inspirational! :)
Glad it was helpful. Many thanks for getting in touch, your comments are much appreciated. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you again! Excellent demonstration and invaluable education! Also, please thank your son and wife. They are doing a very professional job. Very generous of all of you!
Thank you. Will do. And thanks for your support
Thank you for this Wonderful series! Learned so much!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Excellent camerawork for learning
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
Thank you for this wonderful series -- I love how you took a pretty setting that had potential and made it into a gorgeous painting. At the end, I can fully appreciate how important the sketch with the darkest tones was... Outstanding in so many ways!!
Oh, thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the videos. Your comments are much appreciated. Thanks. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you a lot for this series! Extremely useful and interesting.
Glad you like them. Thanks. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Enjoying watching you paint
beautiful pictures Andrew.
Could I ask if you have published a book
on painting watercolour please?
God Bless
Thanks for getting in touch. Yes, I have written a book on watercolour painting, “Seasons and Reflections: Notes on Painting in Watercolour”. There are more details on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk Please email me if you are interested in a copy at info@andrewpitt.co.uk
A wonderful set of videos Andrew, you really are the most instructive of watercolour artists on TH-cam. No need to reply, I know you're busy. Thank you.
Many thanks. Very kind. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you!
Love your vids. Always look forward to new posts not to mention that I do got back and rewatch. Be blessed.
Thanks for your support and encouragement
Hi Andrew - Thank you for that wonderful demo. Too advanced for me right now. One of the things I am going to do is set up a palette like yours - I mean the colours. I have too many colours in mine right now and I get all confused when I need to be able to mix quickly and accurately. I like how you try to only paint something once as well. Very exciting demo.
Glad it was helpful. Many thanks for getting in touch. Good luck with your painting. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Fascinating. I really thought you were over working it at the end with the thick treacly paint and scratching out but it all came together beautifully. A touch of magic. Many thanks
Thanks. And you are right, it is very easy to overwork a watercolour. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Just an excellent series. Thank you for sharing your skills and gifts with the world. Truly inspiring. Just love your presentation style, too. Well done!
Thanks for your support and encouragement, it is much appreciated. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Fabulous work! Thanks so much! Will keep your ideas fresh in my mind while facing that scary white paper.
Have fun. Thanks for getting in contact
Magnifica demostración de los pasos que hay seguir en el proceso pictórico. Cinco vídeos magistrales que te enseñan desde el principio con el boceto hasta finalizar la obra. Enhorabuena Andrew.
Thank you. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
@@AndrewPittArtist hi o hi Jon v, you Yrk know I'm of ❤❤ vb😊
Excellent work and very good lesson . Many thanks for your knowledge.
Glad you liked it. Thanks. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Excellent tutorial as always! I look forward to your videos and I especially enjoy these focused segments. I purchased the hardcover publication of your book, Seasons and Reflections, and whole-heartedly recommend it to your subscribers on this channel and anyone with an interest in watercolour. Not only is it packed with useful information, but it is written with great sympathy for the challenges faced by artists regardless how far along we may be in our journey. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your kind and generous comments, they are much appreciated. Happy painting.
The entire series was so informative and super enjoyable to watch. Thank you for making your talent available for us to view!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your support and encouragement, it is much appreciated. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Hello Andrew! How do you cut the lucite frame you use? A mat cutter?
I’ve not heard of ‘’lucite’’. My drawing board frame is made of clear 2 or 3 mm acrylic. It is difficult to cut at home without cracking. Best to find a company with a laser cutter. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Important learning points made, Andrew
Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and philosophy of watercolor. I will try to pass it on to whomever I might teach watercolor. I've learned a lot from your videos. Very well done
Thanks. Glad you like the videos. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I'm always fascinated by the way you paint the sky. Usually it is painted at the beginning of work, and you started the picture from a tree. I love that you are a talented artist, Andrew. Thank you for your classes.
Thank you very much. Remember, no one judges a painting by the order in which it was painted. Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Great series of your method of w/c painting ‼️
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.
Hermosas acuarelas que realizas, eres excelente......🇲🇽🇲🇽.....
Excelente demostración ...usted hace ver esto tan fácil, pero sabemos que la realidad es otra. Felicitaciones maestro y muchas gracias.
Muchas gracias. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Just ordered your book so I can continue this clear and clean method of learning 😊watercolor
Thanks for your support and encouragement.
A point that Hazel Soan makes in 10 Minute Watercolours, is that we should ask ourselves if we’re striving for accuracy or ambiguity and advocates the latter. This allows the viewer to fill in the details themselves. Thanks for this series.
Yes, lots of artists say the same thing but use different words, such as suggest, don’t describe. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you so much Andrew, I love these series!😊
Thank you Mr. Pitt, your video’s are wonderful!! I’m happy to report that my second painting that is a copy of this cottage not far from your home was a success. I am going to have this one framed. Oh, it’s not perfect by any means, but good enough to frame (for me). I hope you’ll continue to bless us all with your knowledge of watercolor and your beautiful paintings. Now, it’s time for me to use my own photo’s and see if I can put into practice what I’ve learned from you. Many thanks, Susie ~
Oh, I’m glad the video had proved helpful and hopefully will guide you to realise your vision of your chosen subjects. Good luck.
Fantastic!!
Thanks. Your support and encouragement is much appreciated. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
This is my 2nd time around watching this series for beginners over the last year. I'm always in awe at your natural instinct to pick up and blend colours to achieve tonal values. Rachels camera work is superb, thank you for helping Andrew make these wonderful tutorials...Now I need to pick up my brushes and just give it a go! Thanks again
Glad you have enjoyed the videos. Thanks for getting in touch. There are lots more videos on my website www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I just discovered your work, and these fantastic educational video's.
And on top of this you are in the area of Norwich if I am correct. Where dear friends live. I am in the Netherlands. I am going to paint with your teaching in mind. Looking forward to it! Thank you so much. 😊
Thanks for getting in contact. There is a list of all the free to watch videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk Thanks for your interest.
I just finished watching this along with some of your other videos for the second time. It's a lovely painting and now I'm inspired to try something similar myself. Thanks!
Oh, good, thanks for getting in touch. Happy painting. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you Pitt family for blessing us with a wonderful educational series.
Glad you enjoy it. Thanks for getting in touch.
Demonstrated with care and beautifully done! Thank you.
Thank you very much. There are more videos on my website: www.andrewpitt.co.uk
This was a great series-very helpful for this beginner. I tried a somewhat different version and found it to be an excellent learning experience. The brick wall was a lot of fun! I have since gone back and watched all 5 again. Once I finish my current project, I think I’ll go back and try this once more. Your explanations of both the how and the why of the way things are done is excellent. Thank you very, very much.
P.S. Loved your book and am going to re-read that as well!
Many thanks for your kind and generous comments. In case you don’t know, there are more free-to-watch videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk Happy painting.
Thank you Andrew, that was quite enjoying and informative. I look forward to viewing more of your beautiful work.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
My, my. This was wonderful. I received you new book this morning and have read it once so far. It really helped me as watching and following along with this series. I am such a rule follower and never could get my paintings to work. You have opened my eyes. I am so excited about painting now. I’m fairly new, and my teacher introduced me to your work. I am amazed and thrilled. Now if I can just get some sleep as I tend to think all night about what I can do. Thank you so much!
Many thanks for your kind comments. They are much appreciated. I’m glad the book and videos are helpful. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you for this lovely painting!!! The demo was wonderfully helpful. I loved your sketch of the scene becaus it helped me see that I try to paint too much of what I see. Simplification is something I strugle with.Thank you again.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for your kind comments. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you Andrew! You have an excellent teaching skill!!!
Thanks for your kind words.The first of a new three part video will be published tomorrow. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thanks for this demo. Very useful.
Where can be found your Chinese brushes? Any link possibly.
Thanks. Most good art shops sell Chinese Calligraphy brushes. I have collected my brushes over many years from lots of different places.
Thank you for the great instructions. I have learned so much from your videos. I love your style of painting! Could you demonstrate a Caribbean beach scene looking out from dunes with distant sailboats? I never feel I know how to bring the water up onto beach effectively.
I will try, although I don’t really paint places I have never been, but we have dunes, beaches and sailing boats on our coast here in the UK. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Wow! That last few minutes where you put in the very dark green and some other elements! I so would have mangled that and ruined the whole picture. Terrific instruction. Beautiful painting! Thanks!
Thanks. The final marks are always risky. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you for taking the time to encourage others. I particularly like the way you keep the freshness in the picture by just one layer, but my question is how do you judge the tone of the colour to get it right first time? thanks
Thanks for getting in touch. A good question. I find the first wash is the hardest to get right because there isn’t anything to compare it with. I try to start with an easy area I am confident I can paint fairly accurately. After that it is a matter of always comparing subsequent tones - are they darker or lighter than the tone I began with. Hope this helps. It is not an exact science and I often get it wrong.
This series was amazing to watch! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed the videos. Thanks for getting in touch. There are more videos at www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I look forward to your new video! if I visit England, I would love a painting lesson!
Oh, that’s very kind of you. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏 I really enjoyed this series of tutorials
Glad you like them. Thanks for getting in touch.
Just appreciate the fact that he replies to each single comment. Thanks for the video :)
I try to. Thanks for your interest.
Another fantastic tutorial on the application of loose Watercolors.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks very much.
A wonderful and generous course. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks a lot
Nice and loose. Something to strive for.

Hello what kind of brushes do you use?
Please scroll through the videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk There is a video which covers all my Painting Equipment and Materials, including my brushes.
@@AndrewPittArtist Thanks a lot!
That was a wonderful series Andrew. I love the way you decide on a colour blend and then lay it down confidently, resisting the temptation to rework it. It all comes together beautifully. I suppose it’s ultimately down to confidence.
Great camerawork and editing too. Thank you all for putting so much effort into these videos.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
Thank you!
