    I've learnt more from you as my virtual teacher then I could have learnt in art college, so thank you Paul from the bottom of my heart. A great video again

      I went to school for art and I completely agree! It’s so much better that way and WAY cheaper!! When I went to college for it, it was literally go to class, paint and do a critique once per week on what you learned and what your progress was and then repeat! Occasionally we’d be told of some business advice or things like how to stretch a canvas, but that’s pretty much it! If I had YT back then and it was as useful as it is now with pretty much an infinite amount of information at the tips of my fingers for the cost of an internet connection and YT subscription, I would have saved myself so much time and money on trying to get a degree and would have been able to learn far more being self taught than in class because I wouldn’t of had to spend HOURS per day in travel to get to class being away from my son. The best part I can honestly say though about in person learning that you can’t get on YT is being able to see other peoples’ artwork as a whole and being able to bounce ideas off of them in the process and not being able to get that constructive critique along the way, which CAN be very helpful. Much if that done this way is pretty much one sided so if you struggle with something like composition and don’t even know exactly what it is that is off about your painting, etc, you can’t get that feedback/suggestions on trying something different. Being self taught like that also doesn’t teach you what you need to know to know, but that kinda goes hand in hand with going to college and ‘wasting’ time learn things you will legit never use again after you leave that class. But being self taught, you have more of an opportunity to learn so much more and more things that will more than likely apply to what you’re doing or what your interests are. Being someone who’s very motivated to learn and just want to suck up everything I can when I want to actually learn something, it’s so much better than learning something because you ‘have’ to or because someone else thinks you ‘need’ to when in all reality, it’s only so you can jump through those hoops for that piece of paper that says you learned enough to get by.
      An old friend of mine laughed when I first told him I was going to school for art and he said that art cannot be taught. In a way he was right, though I think he meant talent can’t be taught, but it is one of the many things that can be better learned elsewhere and doesn’t….or shouldn’t need a degree for.

    Paul this piece is wonderful as usual. Something I would love to see is those little rules of painting. Like where to pain in a page, how it is darker in the foreground and perspective, textures etc.

    You are so kind to freely share these tutorials with us! Your work is beautiful and like the famed Bob Ross, your gentle description makes us feel like anyone can make the Beautiful landscape just as you do! Your use of light and reflection is masterful and a joy to watch. Thank you again!

    It's ridiculous how much I look forward to watercolor Wednesday since I found your site. l go online early to see if there is a tutorial that week & save it like a miser - until late that day when chores are done. I savor them, but I'm a greedy beggar and they go way toooo quickly and I haven't found anything else to soothe my addiction. Except Margot's challenges. As with most, I have far less time than I'd like to work on this craft I love, but thank you both so much for your time and dedication to sharing techniques and places!

  • @betsytrippie
    @betsytrippie ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I do appreciate how you just left the rocks to bleed when you rewet the water in the foreground. I have difficulty just leaving things like that. It was a good reminder to just let the water do it’s thing.

    Another great tutorial Paul and I loved seeing you use your palette alongside the painting, it helped make sense of creating a picture from start to finish without constantly thinking I have to clear space on my palette, or wash my brush! Really useful, thank you!

    As I watch your tutorials, I see over and over the benefit of preplanning the steps, being patient with the medium and letting the watercolour do its thing. I so enjoy every tutorial and have learned so much. It's colourfully autumn here in Ontario so I'm inspired to paint what I see. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

    Hello Paul! Love the painting! As always beautiful work! Unlike the beautiful song in this video, Autumn never comes too soon for me.. My favorite time of year! After Alabama summers we always welcome Autumn along with Alabama college football! 😄 Fall paintings are especially beautiful because of the vibrant colors. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the music! I had to download that one!

    Ahhh, if only! I can’t paint (yet) but achieve this watercolor effect through ice dying fabric. I seem to enjoy the unexpected randomness of color play. The same reason I’d choose watercolor painting. Going to try it. Thank you for this! Im so touched to see it materialize! Lovely! Transforms my soul! Magical!

    Lovely tutorial yet again Paul. The leaves are changing thick and fast and the reflections of your autumnal trees are perfect. Must try this now I have watched it. It certainly helps seeing the painting develop. Reminds me also to be patient and let each stage dry!

    Haha, my cat (who seems to believe that he is a dog) objected to the strangled *guitar* sound. He enjoyed the music very much, though, or at least I did as I watched you create an interesting contrast between a warm, gentle autumn glow and knife sharp, cold rocks. Those tree and sky colours harmonise beautifully, and the blue at the bottom connects with their softness.
