Wow!A complicated composition made easier with your logical approach to it.No doubt,one must plan a compostion like this very carefully before putting paint to paper.One can really feel the bright sunlight against the shade.
I am in the middle if your intermediate landscape workshop. I just finished the third week and after watching you paint this I realized my light washes are not saturated enough. This tutorial was perfect for the point I’m at. Beautiful painting as well, thank you.
Really enjoyed this! I have some windows of the now deceased Grandma's and think it would also be fun to paint from the inside looking out and beyond. Thanks for renewed idea. Sometimes you just forget the photos taken of the past.
Wow! It was really interesting to watch this unfold with the layers. I can’t wait to try it! I’ve learned that using a different raw sienna pigment can also result in a greenish hue when doing mixes-I finally figured that out during the color mix exercises in the first online learning center lesson.
thanks for this lovely demo and for clarifying the mystery of the cerulean blue and raw sienna combination. Enjoyed the workshop in Ohio greatly. I'm still catching up on the many demos you did during the workshop.
Another great video Rick. Interesting to see your approach with a different subject. Just goes to show that just about anything can be painted if there is an interesting shape and a good light effect. "I don't know what to paint" is a frequent complaint. I'm glad you mentioned cerulean blue, as I've had the same problem as your subscriber- a green sky while painting along with you! Useful to have the pigment number, thanks.
Great lesson with excellent instructions, as always. I enjoyed all the shadow painting and marks depicting wear - all the details make such a difference. Something tells me you're a fan of Dean Mitchell.
Thank you Rick for this very detailed and informative tutorial. It really blew me away with all the depth you achieved. It made me think to ask you" how do you see/find all these layers from the beginning to have a plan". Do you have any insight to guide a beginning painter?
Hi Jane, I generally think about the larger shapes and values first. I need to know where my whites and lights are going to be. It doesn't matter to me if it's a brick, a window, a shadow, I try to see shapes before things. Before I begin, I'll have a plan on how I want to develop the painting which is heavily based on value.
Really lovely! One of my favorites. You are a wonderful teacher! You clearly explain not only the colors and mixtures but why or how those colors or brush strokes affect the painting. Thank you!! (Question: What brand of Raw Umber-Pigment #-do you use? It is not listed on your website).
Really love your work and the details you provide in your video tutorial. Would you seriously consider becoming an art instructor in Patreon.com? This arrangement will benefit a much larger group of painters who wish to learn your techniques. If not, do you have a website where you offer tutorials on a regular basis? Awesome work!
Hi Ken, Thanks for your comments. I was very close to launching a Patreon site, however, I decided instead to launch my own online learning center. I launched it a few weeks back with plans to gradually build it over time. I plan to continue to post on TH-cam where I have posted some 180 videos to date. For those wanting more, I'm developing much more involved online courses, I currently have two in my learning center and am working on a core development series. My third tier of instruction is in person workshops. I'm hoping to add a subscription offering eventually for my learning center. If you want to learn more, you can go to my learning center using this link: ricksurowicz.podia.com/ You can also learn more on my website: rsurowiczart.com
Thank you so much,I’ve just found you today! I love this ‘spare,clean look’ of this subject would love to know what brushes you’re using for detail,they don’t look like riggers,are they rounds?You’re a fabulous artist and tutor!!!!
I often mix Cerulean Blue and Raw Sienna to give me warm and cool neutrals. If I want a neutral gray, I'll use Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna. For red, Winsor Red or Cadmium red medium will work.
I used a 1/2" flat, a #4 round brush, and a quill brush. If you go to the studio page on my website, you will see all the materials and equipment I use including the brushes. Here is the link. rsurowiczart.com/studio/
i forgot how awesome your teachings are !!! i'm back for sure !!
Это прекрасно! Дом моей бабушки)))
Excellent work. Love this piece of work. Makes me want to visit this place♥️🥰

I just loved this, and learned a lot about how to do shadows and building up. Thanks.
Whats a wonderfull work!
Wow!A complicated composition made easier with your logical approach to it.No doubt,one must plan a compostion like this very carefully before putting paint to paper.One can really feel the bright sunlight against the shade.
You definitely need to do some planning before putting brush to paper.
I love to watch your paintings come to life.

I'm glad this was helpful Lynn!
Really enjoyed this! I have some windows of the now deceased Grandma's and think it would also be fun to paint from the inside looking out and beyond. Thanks for renewed idea. Sometimes you just forget the photos taken of the past.

Excellent lesson, Rick. I learned a lot. Obviously I need to purchase some narrow masking tape.
Glad you enjoyed it Marcia!
Thank you Rick
thanks for this lovely demo and for clarifying the mystery of the cerulean blue and raw sienna combination. Enjoyed the workshop in Ohio greatly. I'm still catching up on the many demos you did during the workshop.

Thank you!
Missed you, Rick. Welcome back, and thanks again. Sharing, ...wonderful work.
Thank you Rebecca!
Great tutorial! It was amazing to watch how each layer of shadows brought the picture to life.
Thank you Becky! As I build the layers, I'm thinking about the large shapes in the composition.
Exquisite work and beautiful results~
Thank you Roberta!
beautiful mind 💖

Thanks for the feedback Barbara! I think things open up as an artist when you start to see shapes rather than things.
Great lesson with excellent instructions, as always. I enjoyed all the shadow painting and marks depicting wear - all the details make such a difference. Something tells me you're a fan of Dean Mitchell.
Thanks Cassie! Dean Mitchell is definitely a master of his craft.
So happy to see you back! And I love this subject - its a great exercise...
Thank you Magdalena!
Love it, very clever! A complex subject. Thank you.
Thanks for commenting Patricia!
Very nice, thank you for the in depth tutorial. Here in Virginia we call the hook a “shutter dog”.
Thank you Clemmie! Thanks for the terminology. It sounds more interesting than a hook.
Beautiful! Thank you so much!
Thanks Laura!
Amazing tutorial. So much went in to this "simple" subject. Thank you, so much for sharing.
Thanks Judy!
very very beautiful one.... I liked so much.

Oh ..this is beautiful.. really really like 👏 thanks again ☺️
Thank you Kath!

Wonderful , Maravillosa frescura
Thanks Rosario!
Thank you so much,I’ve just found you today! I love this ‘spare,clean look’ of this subject would love to know what brushes you’re using for detail,they don’t look like riggers,are they rounds?You’re a fabulous artist and tutor!!!!
Just a thought should the left hand brick colour be put under the shadow color first,enjoyed the demo.tfs tfs.
You could definitely paint it that way.
Or do you mix cerulean blue with burnt sienna, not raw sienna to make gray? Also, what is a good substitute for pyrrole red?
I often mix Cerulean Blue and Raw Sienna to give me warm and cool neutrals. If I want a neutral gray, I'll use Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna. For red, Winsor Red or Cadmium red medium will work.
please sir can you did a tuto about how to paint lake village with reflections on the water? Thank's
Thank you for your interest Romaric. It's something I can consider at some point.
Rick, Is there a reference photo for this lesson? I couldn't find it. Thanks for all your help.
Hi Donna, I've added it to the TH-cam Reference tab on my online learning center. ricksurowicz.podia.com/
Can you please list down the brushes and their size that you used
I used a 1/2" flat, a #4 round brush, and a quill brush. If you go to the studio page on my website, you will see all the materials and equipment I use including the brushes. Here is the link. rsurowiczart.com/studio/
I have PB36 from several companies but I can’t make a neutral gray with raw sienna. Do you mean raw umber?
Hello, where i can see the original foto of reference? Y cant see good in video. Thanks
Use this link: rsurowiczart.com/youtube-reference/
What are dimensions of your paper? Is this a half sheet? Thanks.
This is a quarter sheet 11" x 15"
Working with Camera Lucida on my iphone to sketch the window on my paper. Needed dimensions. Thanks!@@RickSurowiczWatercolor
Are most of your videos on quarter sheet? (Trying to set my Camera Lucida at one height.) Love your house and barn videos. Thanks!
damn, you are good
Thanks John!
Beautiful! And thank you for not speeding it up.
Thanks for commenting!
Will you be teaching classes in 2025?
Too many ads TH-cam🖕
Why do you start your video with a loud sound.. scared the crap out of me.
It's the sound of a guitar for the introduction.
