Thank you, Belinda, for responding and thank you for the info on the colors. Your presentation was excellent otherwise. I will watch more of your videos.
I loved this tutorial, and particularly appreciated what you said about separating the drawing and painting process for a while until drawing skills catch up... still trying to draw every one. Ink and watercolor is very appealing to me. New subscriber! Thank you.
Hi Beth! Welcome and thanks for the feedback. Wise old teaching advise to break complicated topics into smaller packets applies to art too. And that's great news for us! Happy painting to you!
Wonderful! Your color mix in the pears had some great character and variation to it. I also like the way you don't over blend with your brush strokes to keep the washes looser.
Are you referring to Carl Larsson, the Swedish painter from the turn of the 19th/20th century? I’m assuming you are and surprised, as I didn’t expect him to be very well known beyong Scandinavia. He’s very much considered a national treasure here (in Sweden) for his very illustrative (albeit idealised) imagery of Swedish homestead life in his region of Dalarna, and his wife was Karin (also an artist but per usual not very recognised as a painter as she had the household to run abd was a woman) was also a huge influence at the time in her use of color and decor in their home depicted by her husband. As much as I appreciate his works, also as a part of that whole European era of national romanticism in art everywhere, I find he leaned a bit heavy on outlining his figures with contrast making it more drawn illustration of subject than painterly poetry of light and shadow sometimes (and very effective for that eras magasine illustrations too). I suppose this is mirrored to some extent in the stylisation of some of the Pre-Raphaelites and the Wienna movement, and was just a trend of the era? Anyway, some of his works were ginormous and if you’re interested you moght want to take a look at his best buddy and partner as head of the national college of art in Sweden name: Anders Zorn, who was a painter of quite a different style who was and is at least equally admired for his painting of daily life, most famously nudes and water, the family members and milkmaids bathing in the lake. His way of conveying texture in light and shades especially of skin and water is remarkable! He also did alot of etchings. Thank you for this series of videos, I’m exited to try techniques I did in my early days in art school at home using recycled materials the way you suggest, in small editions! Sometimes stripping down to basics and just being an experimental student is very freeing! Great concise, and clear videos, many important details covered too! Greetings from Stockholm!
Thank you for the feedback on the contents of the demo video! And I know that many of my artist friends here in the U.S. are enthusiastic fans of both Carlsson and Zorn. (A few years ago, we traveled to see an exhibit of Zorn’s paintings and prints in San Francisco.) I also have books on both artists in my library. They have each been favorites for a long time. So I raise my cup of tea in your direction and toast to the inspiration from your homeland! 🌞
I loved this one and the other one with apples. I have the same little book about mixing colors (very useful) and the same Carl Larsson book. In fact, all the CL books and postcards and calendars I can find.....
HI +Francoise de Rocher - yes, that mixing book is a perfect companion for ideas - especially when you're just not sure and you need a little boost of pre-visual confidence. And Lucky You to have so many CL inspirations... I have one little book, but I'd love more. So much to learn from his masterful skills. Thanks for visiting.
Tennishead21 hi there - I bought the butcher palette on Amazon. You'll find links to supplies used in each of my videos listed in the *show more* section if you open it under the video windows. Happy painting to you!
Hi Debra, I use both. Actually, I use cold press and yupo too. I like Plate Finish Bristol (which is not a watercolor paper) because the pigments float on the surface (as long as I don't abrade the plate finish), so they're very saturated and bright, and they lift beautifully. See a demo here: th-cam.com/video/vidYT4qEuxI/w-d-xo.html Thanks for your kind comments. :)
i would have appreciated the color of yellow stated rather than saying "bright yellows"--not helpful in that respect. You were more than willing to share the paper and the brush type--confusing that you held back on the colors used which I view as extremely important to success of a painting too--it is called color theory.
Hi Mary Ann - no holding back at all - you can ask anything you want to know more about, and I'll dish all the details. The two yellows on my palette in the video are Winsor & Newton (both of them) Cad Yellow on the left and Winsor Orange on the right. Do you have them on your palette?

Hi Steinunn - Thanks for visiting! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! Welcome!

Hi Steve! Thanks very much for your compliment! Restraint from noodling the pigments is a life-long challenge for me, so I really appreciate that!

Belinda, where did you get your palette? I love it.
Great video. :)

I love your loose, airy touch. Nothing looks overworked or fiddly! But why do you use bristol instead of hot press watercolor paper?
