Absolutely loved your demo! And as always, I learn so much. Where there is light, you must have a dark. Don't hesitate to soften with your finger. The sheer simplicity from your first wash to the addition of your final darks keep me mesmerized. Thank you for your generosity and your patient teaching!
Terrific in every way. Particularly like the little pop-up labels on the colors. Very useful for those of us who are trying to learn. Can't thank you enough for these vids.
I love the way you put the color on the paper, it seems to be perfectly imperfect. At the first time, it seems that everything goes wrong and suddenly it becomes clear and very nice. Thank you for the amazing class. Regards from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
I watched your painting demo of Staithes yesterday and was mesmerised. I especially appreciate the trouble you go to in producing the video - naming the colours, showing the mixing and, of course, the painting it's self. You have a new subscriber and I'll visit often. Cheers!
Extremely inspirational and I very much enjoyed not only the confident mixing of colours but also the bold application of paint on the paper. I’ve not had the pleasure of visiting Ireland but I’ve always regarded it as a watercolour artist’s paradise.
Thank you very much Roger. Thinking about it, Ireland is perfect for watercolour. We are lucky to have such a variety of landscape in such a small area
Enjoyed this demo, nice clear filming and good to see what's happening in the palette as well as on the painting. Thanks for posting -I look forward to your next one
I really loved your demo - your honest approach and useful hints and advice. I lived in Portrush and then at the White Rocks for eleven years a while back now, teaching in Bushmills, and this beach is familiar. I didn't paint then, but have been trying on and off for many years. Thank you..
Thank you Graham, great demo as always. A pleasure to see the painting built, and a pleasure to see the painting for long after. Truly a master's touch.
Graham, I was able to get one of the 402 line of brushes, and they are exactly as you describe....... pointy with a full belly, and I love the way the water leaves the hairs of the brush, just perfection. I love that you show us both the painting AND your palette and set up. It’s so much more helpful! Your generosity is most appreciated! Thank you so much!! ClaudiaSJI
As always , Grahame, so informative and generously shared... A master of limited palette in past, but now even more so and producing as much magic and more... Thank you !
Graham you brought so much memories of my time in Northern 🇮🇪 Wonderful artwork just amazing how you can bring your skills and videos. Thank you for sharing and you are very gifted artist and I enjoyed seeing you painting and god bless you always.
Bentornato Graham, aspettavo da tempo un tuo nuovo lavoro, finalmente posso godere della tua solita maestria ammirando e sorseggiando fino in fondo un genuino mix artistico di bravura e semplicità. Grazie infinite e che il vento ti sia sempre di poppa. Buon Natale e felice 2016
Strengthening the darks to make the lights lighter & at least three different shades or tints of each hue are the valuable tips I'll take away from your excellent instruction. Thank you.
Very enjoyable tuition Grahame,I'm going to have a go at something similar with these colours,a good combination I think,nice greens and purples. Thank you.
I`ve been painting a while now but every time it's still a battle. Thanks Grahame, you are always helpful! If I ever make it back over to Europe again I will be sure to plan it around one of your workshops.
Very nice painting. I gave it a go and am also pleased with my results but like your values and looseness a lot more. I'll look for more because I love boats and seascapes. I worked for for John Brown. Although I have been to Teeside, I worked in the US and once in Portsmouth but I have often thought I'd like to paint a scene from Teeside. Unfortunately, I haven't found a suitable photo and wonder if you've ever painted anything from the Shipyards or nearby?
thank you Graham, for this wonderful demonstration. It is so fun watching you build it up and then ply in with those darks! I haven't watched you for a while as I changed computers and software. I'll glad you are still painting for us to see! Can one get Bockingford 200 lb paper on line? And I am coveting that cute little paint box!
Really enjoyed the demo. Voice reminded me of home as my mum was NOrthern IRish and I really love painting, as I’m artist who has rediscovered herself in later life and cannot learn enough. Thank you very much for a preciousmoment in time !
Pardon for interrupting but I believe he is using a brass folding palette that harkens back the days of old when there was fine manufacturing. You can still find these palettes today but they are hand made and quite an investment but I’m quite enamored. ClaudiaSJI
Nice painting. I lack the freedom and boldness to do watercolour. That side wall on the left however messes up the painting, it's like an optical illusion. Does it belong to the house to its left or right?
Grahame, some artists say that the "ghost wash" is "painting the light". Since most, if not all of it gets covered up, other than covering up the white of the paper and laying a foundation for what comes next...how is it painting the light? I've heard people use the term with an almost reverent tone in their voice.
Good question but the reason that it is painting the light is because not all of it gets covered up. I would say that in an average painting only around 50% gets covered which led me to my 50% rule: Don't cover more that 50% of a previous wash with a new wash. That way you are always leaving light as you go through the painting. The 50% is not a hard and fast amount - it's just that if you don't keep that idea in your head, it is so easy to just paint over everything.
@@PaintingWatercolour I see. Its Not ambient light they are concerned with. Its the point you were making when you say that if you lose the light it's gone. Sometimes the only difference between me and a box of rocks is the box. Thank you for explaining.
Great demo Graham, love it. Do you not worry too much about where the actual light is coming from and concentrate more on getting the tonal values to stand out? cheers
I used Bockingford from St. Cuthbert's Mill in England for this one and you are correct - I don't pre-wet the paper. Pre-wetting dilutes those early washes and there is very little control. Using more of a wet against wet method allows at least some control but with that first wash I really don't mind what happens as long as there are no dry edges.
@@PaintingWatercolour Many thanks for explaining that. I am just starting out and have been following the instructions about wetting the paper and then putting on the first wash and the results have been a bit hit and miss, to say the least! So I was really interested to see your video and the method you use. Definitely going to give it a try. Thanks again.
Just a beginner, your demos are so helpful, thank you! Is there anywhere I could download a copy of this sketch to work from, as I am not a great drawer yet?
@@PaintingWatercolour thanks Graham ! Yes I tend to lean towards those excellent 'expensive" paints myself. I usually order them from CassArt in London and have them shipped free to my brother in Lanarkshire, Scotland and he brings them over to me in Ontario when he visits me. I am presently looking at the German Schmincke Horadam pan set. Apparently they have a fantastic reputation. Winsor & Newton on steroids! is an often repeated description. I tend to paint different subjects like Architectural - landscape - wild life - people - abstract - political statements - comic relief. I do as much pencil, carbon powder and charcoal work as watercolor items. Perhaps I am one of those wrestles folks who gets tired of the same old same old. Power to you sir from an old Scotsman now residing in Canada !
Nice job Grahame! You should put your website address in your description, right at the beginning, don't forget to include the www. or it won't be a clickable link!

Lovely to see Rathlin as the subject. Good man.

thank you! enjoyed watching your video and am about to paint long! ^ ^
thank you Grahame!
Thanks you for this. Enjoyable and informative. 😊👍
Thank you Doreen. My pleasure!
I liked your paint box pallete i think that one is not from Craig Young paint box company?
That is a Craig Young but now I use one I made myself. You can see it in the later videos
Really nice demo, thank you!

Thank you Graham, this is excellent. Please can you tell me what size squirrel mop you were using? Many thanks :)
+Sherry Rix It was a Jackson's mop size 14. Mops don't have standard sizes but this one measures about 14mm across the ferrule.
Great demo Graham, love it. Do you not worry too much about where the actual light is coming from and concentrate more on getting the tonal values to stand out? cheers
Great Tutorial. Can you please tell me what are the brushes you used?
There was a variety used there but squirrel mops would be the equivalent. I now use brushes from Rosemary & Co, series 402.
Thank you so much...very beautiful.
I have 1 question: Which Colours you use Schmincke ?
Hi Eva. Thanks for watching. Most of my colours are Winsor and Newton but I have tried and am happy with colours from any of the major manufacturers.
Thank you so much Sir!
A couple of questions: what paper are you using and am I right in thinking you didn't wet the paper first, just used a very thin wash? Thanks.
I used Bockingford from St. Cuthbert's Mill in England for this one and you are correct - I don't pre-wet the paper. Pre-wetting dilutes those early washes and there is very little control. Using more of a wet against wet method allows at least some control but with that first wash I really don't mind what happens as long as there are no dry edges.

Beautiful thank you very much

What brand of watercolour paints are you using ? Thanks.
Mostly Winsor and Newton Artist's quality but I'm pretty happy with any of the good makers.

do more LOL
Such wonderful tips. Love watching you.

awesome!
did you see the face in the right pan colored with mostly blue
now you have two faces one in each mixing pan
Pareidolia is the term used to explain this
Love this.
Is your initial sketch in pencil or pen?
Very nice
Nice job Grahame! You should put your website address in your description, right at the beginning, don't forget to include the www. or it won't be a clickable link!
+John Cowburn Thanks John, I appreciate the suggestion (and I have acted on it!)
Thank you😊😊😊👍🏻
Why do paint names sound like racehorse names?
what palette is this? it has ceramic dishes. anyone know?
+electrabot They cost hundreds.
that's the palette

è bello il dipinto, ma le case mi sembrano triste, complimenti comunque. Rita
bang on!
Can't hear you over the music!!! Boooo!
🇹🇷💐👏
Graham...come to Islam n success
Let's discourage the use of sable and squirrel brushes, and all animal products.
i will never surrender my brushes!!! be gone liberal!
electrabot Is not wanting to support the killing of animals being liberal? How the hell to you get that?
it seems everyone from poonjab thinks they can sing !!!!
