Another highly instructive video particularly the tips for painting around lighter objects convincingly. Much appreciated. Thank you.

[@TimWilmot]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@giorgiogrlj]

Hearing birds at my place through open window and hearing them at your video together with wonderful painting. Enjoying the afternoon. Tank's Tim.

[@TimWilmot]

Glad the background noise of birds and the river was okay for you!

[@joanbarconstomas9637]

Gracias Tim.
Disfruté muchísimo con esa demostración. Ver como resolvió el contraste y las sombras en contraluz. Ver como incorporó una àmplia gama de verdes en un modelo muy difícil. Y como supo resolver el equilibrio tonal añadiendo colores que en el modelo prácticamente no están.
Enhorabuena y gracias por compartir.

Muchos Gracias Joan

Very nice painting! I like how you painted the whole watercolor but very impressed with the water.

[@TimWilmot]

Thanks Elizabeth. I think I could have showed more of the pool there

[@Sam34292]

Great video. I like Saunders Waterford paper too but am finding the sizing to be fairly short lived.

[@TimWilmot]

Oh okay and thanks for the feedback

[@artofwrick]

We have monsoon here. But this is a time when there's a break, so I expect the temperature to soar up in the upcoming days.

[@TimWilmot]

Ouch!
