Thanks very much. Ive been paintinting watercolours for about 15 years but you always learn something new. Definetly going to use the 3 step process. Thank you
Lovely technique. It reminds me of the CMYK printing process, where the black (K) is the last plate to be printed - bringing the whole scene to life. The softer first wash gives a nice quality to subsequent, sharper lines.
A great video, as usual. I specially loved the suggestion to include the figure in all phases of the picture. I used to reserve a space for the figure to make it stand out, but I much prefer your idea.
Thanks Mat, I like the picture so much that I'm going to paint it today. I particularly liked your realization of the windows. However, the traffic sign remains part of the picture, but becomes a no entry sign in cadmium red.
Maybe I have missed one step..first wash is wet on wet but what about the second? The roofs for example, did you wet them again and then add the colour to make the colour so even? Thank you
Hi, thank you very much for your videos, I always watch them. I would like you to asking you the brand and number of the brush you used to paint the sky because I keep looking for it where I live and I can't find it. I want to try to buy it online but there are so many and they are so expensive that I would like to know for sure the brand and number of the brush to buy safely. I will be waiting for your answer, thank you very much. Flor from Buenos Aires, Argentina🧉
And another question, did you wet the paper again in the sky area before applying the second layer? I'm trying to paint a big night sky and I can't get a fluid color like you, the watercolor dries very quickly and in the end the color is very uneven and full of horrible streaks😮
This is not so simple. It is the same complexity of colours, tones, values that exist in oils. If you can read colours well and values; and If you can master composition , It is possible to paint good works in any media.
Valuable tip from a watercolor instructor: Always reducing a lesson to ‘what pigments’ distracts from what is truly important in the lesson. This always occurs at workshops…”what pigment? “ The truth is develop your own palette based upon trial and error and use that. That’s how you master color. Not by chasing each teacher’s specific pigments list.

Great video - I'm always so impressed with the big wet washes you do for the first layer! How do you avoid cauliflowers/overworked areas?
I like your style
Thanks!
It would be very helpful to include the colours and mixing process of the paints very helpful for us beginners.
Nice ❤

Thanks Mat, I like the picture so much that I'm going to paint it today. I particularly liked your realization of the windows. However, the traffic sign remains part of the picture, but becomes a no entry sign in cadmium red.
Awesome video! Quick question, what colors did you mix for the shadows on the left side of the painting?
Thanks
Thank you!!
what would you recommend doing if im working out of a watercolor sketch book? Should I still wet the back of the paper if the back is blank ?
Maybe I have missed one step..first wash is wet on wet but what about the second? The roofs for example, did you wet them again and then add the colour to make the colour so even? Thank you
🙏👍

It will be helpful if you could mention the pigments, instead of talking about the light wash, etc. Thank you for the video.
