This is the first video where i really get a good sense of simplifying. Thanks for your effort.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Glad it helped! Thanks for your feedback 👍

[@BLWatercolorArt]

Gorgeous. The darks added at the end against those blended beautiful lights really makes everything come alive in my opinion!

[@RobertMeeArtist]

We need good darks in our paintings, thank you for watching 😀

[@HalkerVeil]

It's amazing that some people can wave a magic wand and have buildings appear.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@wendytaylor3714]

Thank you. A beautiful painting with clear guidance.

[@kristapedersen1828]

Love what you did with those buildings, Robert! 🧡

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Thanks 😊

[@stefnedupreez8072]

You are indeed a God-send! I started with acrylics but got hooked on watercolours. I could however not understand that there are no tutorials in the way I like to paint! Then along came you. Thanks for your inspiration!

[@RobertMeeArtist]

You are welcome, enjoy your watercolours.

[@delphinewood7519]

“Let the colors mix on the paper.” I still need to hear this. Thanks for sharing another well explained and beautiful painting.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Thank you for the feedback, always appreciated 😀

[@babs675]

Love the way you instruct. You make it look so easy. Can’t wait to try. Thank you.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

You are welcome, good luck 👍

[@holly_kay5570]

Lovely--exactly what I've been looking for.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Brilliant. Good luck 👍

[@stanwellback]

Very nice! You make it look so easy.
As someone who tends to carefully paint inside the lines, I need to follow your advice to initially connect all of the various elements with a single wash of paint.
I do recognise the difference it makes.
But, without your obvious talent, it’s easier said than done. 😀

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Glad it was helpful!

[@scootmcgoot570]

This is just incredible pal! Thanks for sharing this. It inspires me

[@RobertMeeArtist]

That is great 👍

[@VP47212]

I'm just starting in watercolor. I've always painted in acrylics. So I tried to be perfect. Thank you so much for your explanation and soft voice. I will follow you Sir ❤

[@radharcanna]

Wonderful. I had doubts at the start about where it was going but it turned out beautifully.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@fabuloussixties4681]

Great!!!! Thank you. Wish I can paint like you

[@RobertMeeArtist]

You can do it! Keep practicing 😀

[@sherryfurr9115]

Very instructive video. I am going to study further how you deemphasized everything but your focal point, how you connected the shapes and how you harmonized the colors. Thank you for sharing.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Good luck and thanks for watching.

[@Peter4MedicalEnglish]

Thanks, that was a great video and very useful as an aspiring watercolour painter.

Thank you 😀

[@tedpytlik8123]

Great demonstration and love the loose wet in wet technique and utilization of the bead. That sharp point on the brush you are using is nice. What size and brand of brush is that? I’d like to add one like that to my brush supply. Thanks so much for the wonderful tutorial.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Glad it was helpful. I used the escoda perla size 14. Good luck 👍

[@nikhatbano6272]

Beautifull painting

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Thank you so much 😀

[@litylu]

Great demo with some useful tips. I’d love to hear (or have you list in the description) all those colors in your palette. I caught yellow ochre, cobalt, and alizarin but not the rest. Maybe in the next vid!?

Great! 🤗

Thank you! 😃

Enjoyed your tutorial love your teaching methods. Easy to follow. I paint in the similar type style but I love your techniques. It makes it so much easier. May I ask the name of the brush that you use? Thank you again. Cheers.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Thanks so much 😊 I use a Escoda Perla size 14 and a Escoda Ultima size 14.

[@humi002]

Very beautiful ❤❤

Thank you! 😊

[@lisajensen1843]

New subscriber 😊 Great tutorial

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Welcome 😀

[@oldmanandthesea7039]

After leaving my first comment, I wonder if the reason you didn’t paint the arches of the bridge is because you wanted to keep the houses as the center of interest? Painting the arches clearly would tend to lead the viewer’s eyes away?

[@RobertMeeArtist]

I wanted to keep it very loose and atmospheric. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

[@Neorhim]

Interesting loose technique.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@feath3rs]

I live and study art in Bourges, right in the middle of France, do you happen to also live here or near this city? If so do you have a gallery where you expose your art?

[@RobertMeeArtist]

I am in the Indre, I have an Expo in September. Details will be on my website near the time. www.robertmeeworkshops.com
Good luck with your art.

[@jerryaubill163]

Love your style.
What brand of brush.
Such a fine point!

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Thanks. Escoda Perla size 14

[@user-oo5ik7jn1n]

What is the name of the village. You name it right at the beginning, but i don't understand it.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

This was a painting of La Celle Dunoise.

[@user-oo5ik7jn1n]

@@RobertMeeArtist Thanks!

[@bazfisher3363]

When you first started the water you said 'put something down there' without saying which colour it was. What colour was it plz? Lovely painting!

[@RobertMeeArtist]

A mixture of cobalt blue and Alizarin Crimson. Thanks for watching.

[@etoileblue]

❤

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Thanks for watching.

[@bbenh3729]

Where obtain brushes from, and approx price.
Good painting

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Escoda Perla size 14...very popular brand so most art suppliers will stock. Thanks for watching.

[@josefrancosanchez4328]

👏👏👏🍀

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Thank you 😊

[@odettedionne4208]

Did you begin with West paper?

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Hi. No, I normally start with dry paper. Thanks for watching.

[@VP47212]

Did you use the same brush for the entire painting?

[@RobertMeeArtist]

I tend to use a large mop like the escoda ultima size 14 for large areas and a escoda perla size 14 for the detail parts.

[@bnataliya]

How did the yellow and blue in the sky not turn into green?

[@RobertMeeArtist]

It was yellow ochre which seems to be fine, maybe say cadmium yellow might go green! Don't mess with it too much and it will be fine.

[@ankeshmbbs]

what brush is that? holds a great tip ! one doesn’t need a small brush for fine details if you have this

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Yes this is the Escoda Perla size 14. Very useful for painting in this loose style.

[@ankeshmbbs]

@@RobertMeeArtist thank u so much ☺️

[@ipekwilliamson2278]

Could you please tell us what brushes you are using?

[@RobertMeeArtist]

th-cam.com/video/eZMwTdpAV90/w-d-xo.html
In the above video I talk about my materials. Thanks for watching. I mainly use escoda ultima and perla size 14.

[@triathleteuk]

what make is the brush ? i love it :)

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Escoda Perla size 14. Thanks for watching.

[@triathleteuk]

awesome thanks for the speedy reply@@RobertMeeArtist

[@PaulaCamm]

How did you learn about colour?

[@RobertMeeArtist]

I have been painting for over 20 years, certainly the 10 years every day and it is this level of practice that I believe gives me the confidence to handle watercolour. However I still find it a challenge. I tend not to worry too much about colour, I think more about the tonal values and colour temperature.

[@uttampreetsingh9765]

😬🤯

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Thank you for watching.

[@roberthoward3723]

Lovely painting you make the loose style look so easy

[@RobertMeeArtist]

Thanks so much 😊

[@oldmanandthesea7039]

Beautiful work! Could you tell me why you didn’t complete the contour of the arches of the bridge? It seems to me the most beautiful part of a stone bridge is its arches.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

You were correct in your second comment.

[@DianeMeadows-h9r]

Always love the colours in your paintings and how you approach your subject--- very relaxing to follow. Thank you for sharing.

[@RobertMeeArtist]

My pleasure 😊
