David’s teaching methods for me, are so very refreshing... with his self talk of encouragement it’s as if he’s learning as he is teaching. David is so unique with his delivery that he compels me to watch and rewatch so I get each and every point he’s making... love it! Jeff
Those "straight" lines of the buildings make contrast with the "messy-chaothic" way of expressing... and made it "real" or "believable". Astonishing colours. Well done master. Thank you for your inspiring videos.
I own ALL of David's available DVD's, including his Emmy Award winning "Landscapes through Time" series. I've learned so much from repeated viewings of them. His passion and knowledge are infectious. He makes the viewer feel "that's something I think I could do".
David is amazing, infectious. He knows exactly what he's talking about, and that is perfect, sound advice. He can communicate the message to the viewer and inspire. As for the thick paint he uses in watercolour sketches, Turner did the same; starting very thickly, quickly and then moving the paint around. Only like that - when lots of thick paint moves - accidents can happen for you to exploit. You may use Watercolour Aquapasto in your initial mixes to give the paint more body and texture.
I saw a couple of his shows on tv a few years ago and I'm happy to have found him here on you tube. I love to paint but don't think I will ever have the ability to paint with the freedom he does. His work is beautiful and I have learned some good tips from these videos. Thanks:)
So masterful! I accidentally bought some watercolor paper made of paper instead of cotton. Would gloss medium improve it? Do you put gloss medium on all your watercolor paper? Also, when you use the aluminum panels for oils, do you use gesso before you begin? I like the idea of the metal showing through. I have been working with cold wax over the last year. Have you used it and what do you think? So many questions but I am in awe of your artistry. Thank you for your excellence! I would love to be your student. Molla
Love your videos and landscape shows on pbs! I do have one question regarding your use of blue tape. Do you use blue for any particular reason? Maybe you like it because of the dramatic reveal at the end of your painting when you remove it?
If money was no object we could all have a go at this but when you are on a budget and have to scratch around with half pans it's not possible. David squeezed out more paint for a two minute painting than I could ever afford.
David, love love love your artistic energy, you inspire me but may I say I think it was the poet Shelly who drowned not Keats, he died in Rome a little more than a year earlier.
I don't like his technique one bit. He uses watercolors like acrylics. He might as well just paint with acrylics. No watercolor artist I know uses that much thick, heavy paint. I couldn't afford wasting an entire box of paints on a single painting like he does. Must be keeping the paint companies in business!

Another great quick demo and lesson!
Your energy and enthusiasim are inspiring.
The best is his happiness to paint

Thank you, you have transformed my painting! This was soooo helpful to stop thinkingand intuitively go with it. This was so great
just watached David on PBS - wonderful - I'm going to have to try painting!

In order to paint with that level of freedom, you have to NOT care about the end result, and that's hard!
Wow just love your passionate presentation, thanks for the inspiration.
That was a real thought-provoked. Thanks for a really fresh look!
An intellectual approach to painting. Very nice.

Exellent. Thanks for the best part of the morning so far.

Very nice holy cow!
Awesome😊
Why not use acrylics for these sketches?
you've expanded by small artistic mind. thank you.

Yea, he used enough paint for five or six half sheet works. He's tough on a brush as well, but it would be worth it to study with him!
Informative, fun, fantastic! Thank you.
David, love love love your artistic energy, you inspire me but may I say I think it was the poet Shelly who drowned not Keats, he died in Rome a little more than a year earlier.
Watercolor which involved little water, might as well be an oil painting?
Very interesting!
Love it! Thanks!!!
i like ur attitude. ur cool 8)
your technique is unusual because you use water colors with very little water.

Not for me.
