As I always ended up in painting details over details I was searching how to be able to paint loose. It is so increadibly easy and so hard as well, but so much more fun!!!! I am superglad that I found your tutorials, they are wonderful inspiring to just let things go. Thank you so much!❤
I promised myself that when I retired ( I've been in Education for 40+ years) I would make time to do and learn art. I had dreamed of doing perfect botanical images. I have painted in acrylic and oils but have been daunted by water colours... so I decided (?) to choose water colours. I feel strongly that water colour paints should be allowed to flow and mix (otherwise use crayons!) Thus I am delighted to find your channel....loose water colours. I love it that you say "Don't worry too much" "Let's change the photo" etc. I also appreciate how you talk through the concepts of : hard and soft edges, leading the eye into and around the painting, lights next to darks, sparkle etc. I am learning so much from you , Robert. Thank you.
What a great story. I had somewhat of a plan to do the same thing. Retire, paint and try to sell my work. I was a professional gardener for twentyish years. I also wanted to try my hand at botanicals. (There are some wonderful botanical illustrators on youtube.) I arrived here in Arizona eight years ago and haven't stopped painting since. I paint desert landscapes and barrio paintings. I wish you lots of luck on your watercolor journey. Cheers from the desert.
Thank you. It took me a long time and many paintings to realise that the less you paint will make it look so much better and quite often more realistic!
T is so nice to see exactly how you do these loose cityscapes. I have always had trouble not making buildings not look like a photograph, but it’s the thing I like most about watercolor. Thank you Robert!
The painting process is very different for oils and watercolour, however the same rules apply such as tonal values etc. I probably will get around to this scene in oils at some point! 😀

@@danthomas6587 Interesting to hear peoples journeys in art. Good luck with your painting 👍
This is how I would really like to paint in watercolour--- less is more. Thank you for sharing. Your painting has turned out so good.

Hi from NZ. Would this same process work for acrylic? I'd love to see you do this same piece in oils.
The painting process is very different for oils and watercolour, however the same rules apply such as tonal values etc. I probably will get around to this scene in oils at some point! 😀
Amazing.
Thanks! 😀
Can i ask the angle of your painting board you set up? Love your way of showing the whole process of work with photo cropping❤
It's about a 30 degree angle. Thanks for watching 😀
