Gary, you are without doubt currently the most generous and informative of teachers for watercolour students of all ages. Your explanations and illustrations of your techniques are superb: long may they continue. Thank you for the time and effort you dedicate to helping those of us on the long watercolour journey.
Today I am tackling a 2 tone/value. I'm painting Yoyo Ma playing at a detention center. I'll be applying everything I learned from you, the Master. A Million Thanks!
Thank you Gary, I great to see all of you showed me, the landscape painting also you painting field and enjoy a feast.Only thing l feel sorry for is your hardworking.Thank you again!
The most useful piece of advice here Gary, was having a plan of the approach to a painting. There's always a sketch, a plan in that sense but I never try to think how I want it to look like., how the mass of trees will look, for example. My dissatisfaction is partly due to that. So thank you for yet another nugget of your experience.
Gary has a very good approach, doesn't he? First time for me here and I am impressed. One nugget for me was the damp brush technique for softening the background to concentrate the view on the main subject. I thought how like differential focussing in photography that was: using a large aperture so you can have a blurred background and crisp subject.

Terry McGeary yes, it is like the photographic technique, I remember - my father was a photographer. Blurring the background was a great idea. Often my backgrounds are still too dominant.
Thank you, Gary. That was great to watch. I had to have a little chuckle at the start as it reminded me immediately of our 'Reservoir Dogs', a small hiking group of 6 of which I am honoured to be a member. We check out future hikes for a much larger club of around 40 regular walkers here in Scotland. My channel mainly comprises hike videos which hopefully encourage other folks to join us. Anyhow, retired 'dogs' always start our mid-week sessions with a hot bread roll with two fillings (usually sausage and 'dangerous' fried egg) and tea: that's us, set up for the challenges ahead too. Your pancakes look good though! Please have a look if you have a moment. On Monday mornings I attend an art class too, using acrylic. At home, though I always use watercolour for preference. It's just easier and less messy for me. I am also quicker with watercolour - I guess I am the slowest in the acrylic class as it takes me weeks to finish anything! Setting a time limit, as you suggest here, can be useful: the fastest I have ever been was when instructed to do a few self-portraits in monochrome all within our morning session. Getting light and shade sorted out in the right places is a good start. Thanks for useful advice in your video. I shall subscribe now.

Everytime I lack ideas, motivation or inspiration, I get it back by watching one of your videos.

It was great seeing the crew fortifying themselves before the field work!
