This is my favorite CIYL episode. Beautiful BEAUTIFUL work and very skilled at teaching and explaining your thinking process. Love the looseness and pops of color.
Thats a wonderful comment to make. Thanks so much for watching our channel. We will have a new show for you every week. Tell your friends when you get the chance, thanks again, Graeme
When an artist makes it appear so easy and effortless it says to me he/she has become a master of the medium. As a painter myself, I truly enjoy watching another person channel the talent they have been blessed with to a blank piece of paper. Amazing body of work, well done sir...
Very nice representation of your art mind and creations, Steve. I am so glad you shared your sketchbook. This is where you keep the jewels before they emerge for the showing. Mariposa
Glad you enjoyed the show. WE will have a new one for you every week for you and our fans, Please if you get the chance it would be great if you told more folks about us. We have worked tirelessly for many years to bring you these Artists, thanks again
Wonderful interview! I had the honor of taking a workshop with Steve and Sue and they are as kind and generous as Steve is talented! Truly delightful!!! Highly recommend his workshop if you get the chance!
Thank you so much, Christie! Your words are so honoring. Thank you also for the recommendation about workshops. We have a few coming up in 2019. We'd love to see you at another if it works for you!
Thanks so much for coming in to our channel and hopefully learning more about Art and the amazing Artists across the globe. If you get the time share our channel with your friends. We upload a new video every week. Thanks again, Graeme
What a stunning gallery space! I like how descriptive Steve is as he works, it's great to understand the thinking behind the practice. Especially as well practiced as he seems to be! Great show as ever Graeme and team! :)

I have come away from viewing Mr. Griggs' episode feeling impressed and inspired ! Also, I'm very impressed by Mrs.Griggs contributions on the business side! Great team. Thank's Graeme for another wonderful episode!
Thank you, Patrizia! We have a great time working together. We like to think we are playing to each other's strengths. We are thrilled you came away feeling inspired!

I have a lot of workshops coming up in 2019, Rachel! Watch my website for more details or subscribe to my newsletter where I announce upcoming events. Thank you!
Its always interesting to see how people lay out their work area, the pallet and default choice of colours, brushes, the work station / easel they use. I use a water pot with a second pot set inside it - one to wash the brush, the other as clean water. Saw that once on a vid - but it was never mentioned. Notice he puts his paint tubes in between his pallet and the painting. Kind of strange way to work.

Easy when you know how lol. I love Steve's sketch book. So many artists manipulate images on photo editing apps these days (not a negative thing to do), but a good old fashioned journal is wonderful :-) Marion
A agree, Marion! My sketchbooks go with me everywhere. They are a part of who I am as in artist. I sketch, work out concepts, write poetry, you name it, in my sketchbooks. I don't know how I would live without them!
Hi Lindy, great question! They are actually both water. I've manipulated the nozzle on the first bottle to give an uneven spray pattern but the second bottle gives an even, fine mist. The paint takes differently to the varying amounts of water on the paper and it gives a different effect.
He's clearly exceptionally good at what he does, but to be honest I think the "sketch" that he was using for a reference was quite a bit better than the piece he produced for the video. As always though, it's interesting, and helpful to my own work to see the process other successful artists go through to create their work. Work harder, practice more.
I appreciate your feedback, Jamie. I agree with you regarding the sketch, but I remind myself that when I did the sketch I was alone, rather than painting in front of a camera while being interviewed at the same time. :-)
@@SteveGriggsWatercolor That makes perfect sense. I've taught lots of drawing and painting classes where I've done something ahead of time, but when I try to reproduce it & demonstrate what I did, it ends up being not quite the same. Thank you for doing the video with Graeme, anytime I can see what professional artist is up to, it's helpful. Also I am quite jealous of your studio & gallery space - that's exactly what I'd like one day.
Glad you enjoyed the show. WE will have a new one for you every week for you and our fans, Please if you get the chance it would be great if you told more folks about us. We have worked tirelessly for many years to bring you these Artists, thanks again

Excellent liquid style
Thanks for your comments, they are greatly appreciated, Graeme
Thank you!
So pleased to have discovered this artist after coming across him this morning in The Artist magazine (UK). Thanks!
good one! .... (from another artist who grew up in Detroit)
Hey thanks, PJ...and fellow Michigander!

Ha! Well, sometimes space constraints dictate layout.
@@SteveGriggsWatercolor Don't I know it! Anyway, well done, always interesting to see others at work. Not so easy to do it for the camera too. Thanks.
@@TobermoryCat Very true...but Graeme and Sophia made it pretty easy! Thank you.

Señor Graeme, disculpe la pregunta fuera de lugar, pero como se llama la canción instrumental de fondo que tiene en el vídeo?. Gracias.
Beautiful watercolour . What did you spray on your paper after the water, please
Hi Lindy, great question! They are actually both water. I've manipulated the nozzle on the first bottle to give an uneven spray pattern but the second bottle gives an even, fine mist. The paint takes differently to the varying amounts of water on the paper and it gives a different effect.
muito bom - perfect
Thank you!
@@SteveGriggsWatercolor ok
WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE PAGE THAT U USE
I tore a full sheet of watercolor paper in half for the painting - 15" x 22."
Ok.. thanks
