I like that you include the upper right thumb nails of your pallet,photo, and towel, too. It's helpful to see, especially in a thumbnail, IMHO. It is so fascinating to watch you paint, you are so talented. I appreciate your loose,relaxed, and confident style. The end result reflects your relaxed approach and is just beautiful. Thank you, dear.
Thank you so much for the very kind words. So glad you find it useful and inspiring!!!:) Whereabouts in Hawaii? I spent a few months travelling around a few islands in search of waves, of which there were plenty of course!
Thanks Tom. Your paintings are beautiful and I love the way you try to simplify the process.i am trying to get my head around wildlife painting, a limited palette and all its complexities.
I'd really love to see you paint an owl with big yellow eyes. I've just found your channel and have been having the best day watching you paint. Thank you for sharing your art and process. ❤️
It's so helpful watching you take something so complex and break it down - it really is learning to see in a different way! Beautiful finished painting as well!
Love how you have the rear end so soft and the head so wonderfully accurate and more defined and glorious colour! Fabulous lesson here for me. I am always lost in the details.
A stunning rendition of a magnificent animal. Thank you for making the process easier to understand. You are such a wonderful tutor and an incredible artist - thank you for sharing your knowledge. Take care!
Hi Tom, Thankyou for reinforcing simple patterns thought process and prep to assist in interpreting my paintings. I get so caught up in detail way way too soon. I love love love❤ all your paintings. Thanks for sharing. I'll remember to squint.😁
So glad it helped!! I think we can all get pulled in by detail too soon...but I find squinting and coming back to big shapes held me stay away as long as possible....thank you for the kind words!!☺️🙌🏼🙏
Thank you so much for explaining and showing what we are looking for when we squint our eyes. Many artist do this and when I do it I’m. It sure what I’m supposed to be paying attention to. This clears it up! Thanks!
Thank you for this video, and for simplifying simplification. 😂 It's is one of my biggest artist "achilles heels". This was so helpful. Gonna save it and rewatch it when I inevitably lose my way again... (Oh and gorgeous cheetah! So in love with your art style.)
Tom, you’re the most articulate art instructor on TH-cam, with your sophisticated paintings providing a good deal of credibility. Wow! I am so glad I bumped into your channel a few days ago, immediately subscribed, and now I just have to send you a thank you for your excellent content. I’m an experienced watercolorist, but even when you talk about topics I know about, you describe and define the issues in such an insightful way that it’s deepened my skill level. For us American English speakers, can you translate some of your paint thickness terms? I don’t know what “neat” means, and how is “double-cream” different from “cream?” Here in Minnesota we have tea, skim milk, whole milk (full fat), cream, and I’m not sure what’s next, lol. I love the wildlife, birds and mammals, and natural landscapes as subjects! Thanks again!
Hi Martha! In the UK we have single & double cream - which really refers to butterfat content, so single is about 20% (usually used for pouring) and double is thicker & about 50%, used for whipping and so on. I think in the US you'd call it heavy or whipping cream. I'm not much of an artist, but I do make great cakes! :-D 'Neat' refers to something in its pure state without anything else mixed in - in this case I guess water, so probably paint straight from tube. Hope that helps!
Wow Martha! Thank you for such a kind and appreciative comment!! I am so glad to hear it helps and is clear, I love to teach and trying to simplify things into clear descriptions is a real aim!! “Neat” is straight out of the tube (maybe a touch of dampness in brush). I came across the watercolour clock by Joseph Zbukvic a while neck and have taken that on as a great way to explain paint consistency...so from watery tea up to much thicker but still very flowing single cream. Double cream here is much stiffer, doesn’t really flow but has a wetness to it still. Then the straight or neat paint is sometimes called butter...I tend to call it marmite, vegemite or even peanut butter (suddenly very hungry, ha!!)....I do have another video on paint consistency that should clear it up :) Thank you again for such a lovely and supportive comment!!:) kind regards, T
@@tomshepherdartist Thanks, everyone, for clarifying those few terms for watercolor thickness. I also got a kick out of the cooking connection- haha! Well done. I’m a professional musician and college instructor who paints in order to have a creative outlet that’s free from the “have to professionally perform perfectly” pressure. I super-appreciate good teaching that conveys both technique and fresh imagination. Store that compliment in your pocket and use it again if you have one of those frustrating “professional artist” days! All the best, and I’ll keep watching!
