Great advice about the 15 minutes for plein air painting. I tend to use reference photos, mostly my own, for painting. However, that means I often end up painting too much detail and making many mistakes. Too paint fast requires a lot of skill too, especially knowing how to mix the colours and how much water to use on the brush. You make it look so simple and easy, but I don't have the experience or skills yet to produce consistent paintings. It's still lots of fun and I enjoy painting no matter how it turns out, because with each painting I'm learning something new and practising more and more.
It looks like a cafe painting with an exotic feel. It’s more cool because it’s watercolor. I saw a good picture. I also paint, so come and enjoy my work. I will come back often and learn~
Very good information about paper drying time. Also I really find interesting your thought process regarding “15” minutes, which I have wondered about, because I am very slow at drawing and painting. I really appreciate that within your tutorials you explain very important decisions that you make that less experienced learners like myself don’t do (yet). Thanks for helping me grow! And thumbs up to your adorable son!👍
Thank you for taking the time to respond to all of your listeners who write to you. I am very touched by your kindness, I will monitor the information.
Yay! I live in Lachine, yes! In fact, I will be having a master class in La Maison des Arts Rive-Sud October 25th. Check their site for more info: maisondesartsrivesud.org Check my 2021 events: michaelsolovyev.net/workshops-schedule
Dear Yvonne, I understand how it might be far away from Montreal. Keep checking my website for more updates on 2021 events. I usually have a few master classes every year around the island of Montreal!
@@watercoloronlinemsolovyev I thought your music selection was very good and I enjoyed it. Other videos as well. Sometimes if I don't like music (not your case), I turn off the volume and use my own music to listen and just watch the painter paint.
@@shoelxi47892 I agree about the music, it's too much in a loop and becomes aggravating and detracts From the l.esson. maybe rotate one song with another.
You’re the only person I’m learning watercolor from! Do you recommend copying your tutorials first and then paint something similar on our own? Or don’t copy at all?
Hi Robert, sorry about that! The channel requires heavy time investment that ads partially remunerate. I am really glad you learn something from watching :)
Loved your explanation on different paper drying time and why to paint in 15 minutes. I tried my first time limit painting and have set goals to speed up. What size is your painting in this demo?
1/4 of imperial size sheet, or 15 x 11 inches, Michele! Setting time targets in good, just remember that the best way to speed up is to eliminate the unnecessary details, thus making the watercolor lighter!
Ciao Michael, come sempre riesci in 15 minuti a realizzare un’opera d’arte. Non voglio commentare questo lavoro, che pure appartiene alle molte magnificenze, ma tra i numerosi video che youtube mette in visione, ho visto un tuo capolavoro che ritrae Roma, con lo sfondo del Colosseo. È ricco di particolari, sembra tutto in movimento. I pedoni, gli automezzi sembra che da lì a poco passano ed escano dal dipinto. Le scritte luminose dell’autobus sembrano camminare sul display scorrevole. È tutto così reale. Credo che per realizzare un’opera così compiuta, ricca di particolari ci sia voluto del tempo. A proposito, sembra che il turista in primo piano sia un autoritratto. È così?
@@watercoloronlinemsolovyev Ciao Michael, ho fatto vedere il tuo dipinto di Via dei Fori Imperiali con lo sfondo del Colosseo a mio nipote che ha 9 anni, e mi ha detto "sembra vero".
Very good, enjoyed very much I have much improved since watching your videos. Do you incline your paper or work flat, and do you wet your paper first? Thank you.
Great question, Alain! The slope is 10 degrees in the studio, 45 degrees on plein air. This time around, I did not wet my paper first. Wetting or not wetting depends on the effects I want to get from it.
Excellent lesson, really enjoyed your explanations on paper and 15 minutes sketch. Do you know where to find Saunders Waterford paper in Montréal or is it only online?
Dear Janie, currently, there is no Saunders Waterford in Montreal, but I do everything in my power to have it on sale on my online store within next few weeks. As I am also located in Monreal, it should be a good deal for you :)
bellissimo. Michael e il disegno? lei comincia a dipingere col disegno appena abbozzato e finito, noi come facciamo a disegnarlo? questa un'altra difficoltà
Дорогая Елена, спасибо за пожелание, занесу его в список на будущее. Краски я обычно испольую везде те же, из моего дорожного набора: Quinacridone Sienna, Perylene Violet, Indigo; Quinacridone Deep Gold, Alizarin Crimson, Cobalt Blue, Phtalo Blue (GS), Phtalo Green (BS), Neutral Tint Я пользуюсь фирмой Daniel Smith.
1. We really don't need the music. Since this is a learning video, we need to focus entirely on your commentary. Please consider "No music" next time. This is a serious class room for me. 2. Please tell the names of the colours that you use. That will be of great help. Lots of love and respect.
Thanks Soumen! 1. The majority of my tutorials don't have music. It was just August/September phase when we decided to try it out. Starting from November, no music on Mondays :) 2. Please consult subtitles and the video description to see all the colors I am using. Best, Michael.
15 minutes sketching also very important when you are plein air drawing in street and you need to take a leak. My plein air strategy is letting the nearest toilet determines where I draw. No kidding!
I just did a painting of a town scene after being inspired by your wet on wet loose work. I started out loose and loved the effect and now I find I’m back to my style of adding tons of detail…😂
Tua técnica de pintura é única ...os pincéis maravilhosos... a perfeição e o bom gosto imperam ... as músicas complementam a pintura ... fico grata por compartilhar tua arte.
Your water color is excellent-I tried watercolor, pastels, etc- I decided to stick with oils-subscribed to your channel -hope you do the same-We are not far from each other-both in Quebec

Bravo bravo

Thank you very much, Mark! I am glad you found this video helpful. Stay creative!
Enjoyed the lesson on the different lengths of time the papers take to dry.
Thanks, Darnelle! Glad to be helpful!
Wow! That is abosllutely stunning. I love how the calligraphic marks define the trees.
Thanks so much, Evert, for your support!
Love these 15 min. sketches!
Thanks so much, Dale! I release a new 15 minute sketch every Monday, 8 am Canadian Eastern Time!

Awesome as always, love the fresh colours, well done 👍

Thank you for your video, I think that materials are very importar but you have “mucho arte”, too.
Thanks a lot, Elisa!
Perfeito!❤
Obrigado, Mira!
Loved your work as usual but can’t bear the constant background music !
Dear Sylvia, Sorry about that. We are just testing new things with the videos. If it proves unbearable to many, we would move on to no music again
Watercolor Online with Michael Solovyev or just turn it down a bit 😃

Thank you!! You know, each artist started form copying masters. See to. The best way to understand how the artist thinking... So yes. Make sense )
Another great demo. I keep learning from watching. Only complaint is the number of ads. It really distracts from the presentation.

Thank you thanks awesome!!!👍👍👍
Я хотела бы увидеть детский портрет. Что за цвет краски вы бы использовали?
Дорогая Елена, спасибо за пожелание, занесу его в список на будущее.
Краски я обычно испольую везде те же, из моего дорожного набора:
Quinacridone Sienna, Perylene Violet, Indigo;
Quinacridone Deep Gold, Alizarin Crimson, Cobalt Blue, Phtalo Blue (GS), Phtalo Green (BS), Neutral Tint

I think that you have changed your colors
Hi Udit, no, the colors stayed the same. It is all about how you mix them :)
15 minutes sketching also very important when you are plein air drawing in street and you need to take a leak. My plein air strategy is letting the nearest toilet determines where I draw. No kidding!
Haha, that is not a bad strategy
I like your style because it's very different from what I was taught at my art school!
Thanks a lot, Nirjhar!
Wonderful! I really enjoy watching your creative works! I notice that you often seem to wipe your brushes off camera. Could you explain the reason?
Dear John, I use more water when I am preparing my mix and always remove the extra water before I touch the paper. Thanks for the question!
grazie a lei che è stato chiarissimo
Molte grazie, Soheila!
Incredible
Thank you, Therese!

Thank you so much, Margaret! I personally like the music, but there is a lot of heated opinions on it :)
I love the music on this, too!..
