Thanks Annette, great to know you are enjoying my videos after a break👍😎🍀 I know you were working with me for quite some time a ways back. Thanks for watching
I totally admire that you are willing to criticise your shadow/ fence Moment to your subscribers. It helps us to look hard at our own efforts. I couldn‘t see anything wrong with the shadows, by the way!
Hi Chris! In particular, the shadows cast by the fence is masterly. I am going for this one next! There is a certain affinity with my Norfolk coast and seascapes. Brilliant work! Rich. 😊
Wanted to thank you so much for your tutorial. There are several other watercolor tutorials that are good, But none of them have taught a novice like me to understand tonal values like yours. I really appreciate! Will be learning more from you. Very excited!
I recently discovered your channel and feel like I’ve learned so much. The sky in this painting is so interesting, and your suggestions to incorporate all the colors from the rest of the painting made such a difference. I also like your suggestion to use cad lemon yellow for the sun light on the sand, then add a little to the sky. Amazing what a difference it makes. I started doing the faces, now moved right into the sea scapes. I re-watch the same videos over and over, not wanting to miss a single thing. Thank you for these tutorials. I’ve been painting for many years, never too old to learn new tricks and make my work better.
I love how you make it so easy, the way you explain everything, stroke, color, wind & sky! Thank you! You have made sketching easy as well. Ive struggled with sketching until I found your TH-cam channel. Really, Thank You!!!! I’ve sketched 3 pages today.
This is simply THE BEST watercolor video I’ve seen! I’m just learning watercolors after painting with acrylics for 4 years. Thank you for your WONDERFUL instruction!!!
So much to learn from your teaching. I have follow every step you take by taking notes about the techniques, color theory and overall, the essence of learning. I have watch this video at least 10 times, before I attempt to get the paper wet. Thanks and pls, keep teaching!
Hi Marija, your very welcome,... thanks for your kind words and the feedback too! Creating notes along side your painting process is a great thing! Keep up the great work Marija! :0)
I learned so much from you in this video alone, so thank for all you do! I’m so happy I found you and Im able to follow you because you are an awesome teacher.
I like the tutorial a lot but also would like to see another version of this painting in a lower contrast version and more muted color not so vibrant which I thought will be beautiful also and have more tonal values. Thank you for the tutorial 🎨🖌️
Just discovered your you tube channel and I am enjoying it and learning many new things! I actually like that I can hear you rinsing your brush! Makes my awareness of your techniques that much more! I no need to apologize for that! I look forward to painting along with and learning from many of your videos! Thanks for you work, which is wonderful!
A total value sketch is quite helpful both for making a rough image and actual coloring on the paper. I'm rather impatient in drawing pictures so watching this video I'm going to pay attention to the value of colors as well as light direction. Thank you and am looking forward to learn more!
Thank you very much for the wonderful lesson , I learned so much from this one tutoriaL Your instruction was so helpful and detailed as well as easygoing and pleasant . You made this a delightful experience ! I look forward to learning more! I was so happy with my results :).. Beautiful .
Hi Chris! Thank you so much for your excellent instruction. I want to paint a beach scene for a card to send to a friend, and you are helping so much. I appreciate your time, and the way you explain things. Have a blessed day! Donna
Thanks Chris. This solves my happy hilly beach issue; add grasses and a hurricane fence. My beach on lake Erie has no fences. Was out there today painting. Glorious day. 😁
@@cpetri766 Thanks Chris. I'm a newbie. A little over a year and a half since I started. So the only place to go is up from here. Lol. Much improved since I started. So there's that.😉 thanks again.
Thanks again, and do enjoy the process! A great artist once told me to make sure I keep track of the things I don't want to happen in my paintings, that mindset helped me tremendously. I'm glad your here with us and painting along!! :0) practice, practice, practice
annette fournier: Hi Annette! I live in Northern Michigan and love to go to Lake Huron and Lake Michigan to paint! I'm just learning also. Enjoy the rest of our short summers! Donna
@@OneTrueWord1988 Hi Donna. Summer beach days on our great lake are over this weekend. Already have massive marine warnings and giant waves the water is already getting cold. I love to watch the waves. Cheers. Happy painting.
Hi Sue, your very welcome and thanks for joining along with us! England is really beautiful, maybe we can create a painting of one your local scenic locations?
It’s my first time watching you. I’m from Cape Cod, MA so I’m very familiar with ocean scenes. This scene I will paint today. I really enjoyed watching you and you gave me some great tips! Thank you and I’ll certainly be back for more!
My dad is an art teacher; and with covid our christmas budget has taken a big cut! I am trying to do a water color painting for him for christmas as well as make things for people to cut costs! This tutorial is a huge help!!
Hi DeAnne, I hope your Christmas cards turn out wonderfully, and that things get back to normal ASAP,... I think we are seeing more optimistic news now with vaccines,... 6 more months and we are home free! 😀👍
Really good! I can't wait to paint this on my 18x24 inch watercolor paper pad. I just have to be more patient to get better I messed up the last painting i did lol
Hi Angelica, thanks so much and your very welcome! I appreciate that you watch my videos and have really positive feedback on our channel here! Happy Painting, and keep up the great work!
Great teacher...just my style. I think your fence shadows are fine bc the fence itself is tipping different ways. Cant wait to try in nahant, Massachusetts, Short Beach. North of boston.
Thank-you for this painting, I used to live on Folly Beach SC and saw a similar scene every time I went for a walk on the beach. I have no photo of it so this brought back a lot of great memories. I will try this!
Awesome teaching video. I am a beginner and this video was structured.. Clear and concise. Made the setting out of my painting make sense. Cheers.. All the way down here in New Zealand 😁
Hi Jocelyn, thanks,..I appreciate it and your welcome! Go for it! The most fun is firing in those hurricane fence shadows with the mineral violet and cobalt blue mixture,... it seems to make the sunlight appear at that moment. Happy Painting!
Thank you for this tutorial - I've watched others but I love the way you go about it. Taking a break is important! I sometimes feel like I want to get it done and rush. Question: Would you just leave the pencil marks for the top of the sand dune on the left in this painting?
Beautiful Chris. I enjoy all of your tutorials! I cut up my old expired credit cards in different sizes and use it to make grasses, weeds and fine lines. It works great! 🎨
Thank you so much for your tutorials, these are so helpful for me.! My compliments from the Netherlands were the Heather fields are purple now. I would like to paint them. In oil and Acryl is not a problem for me, but what is it hard in watercolor! I have often tried it, but unfortunately, I can't fix it grrrrr. Maybe an idea for a future video and tutorial? I would appreciate that very much, you are a very good teacher maybe you can explain were for the Heater fields so difficult for me to paint in watercolor. Have a nice day and thanks again.
Hi Hennie, your very welcome! I'm glad learning from my TH-cam channel is fun for you! I can understand that painting in oil and acrylic is much different than watercolors. If you are able to send pics to me of the heather fields by your home maybe I can create a tutorial. My email is chrispetri@att.net. Thanks for watching and Happy Painting!
@@cpetri766 Good morning Chris, Thank you very much for responding to my request. I am very happy with your answer to try to process our purple pagan fields in a tutorial. I have sent you my photos, made by myself, and hope that they provide sufficient information for a Dutch heathland study. Once again Thank you very much and I look forward to the possible result. Kind regards, Hennie Teunissen.
Wow, I just love this...your verbal instructions and especially the pace of painting and explanations are 2nd to none, as a true beginner this is so very helpful for me. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing your other paintings...thank you again...oh, one question..what was the name and vendor of that thin, "weird" looking brush❤️❤️
Hi Margo, thanks so much for the kind words and compliments! I'm glad you found me here and I have many more videos archived as well as new videos every weekend! :0) For the"needle point brush" just look up alvarocastagnet.net, his website is where I buy mine,.. I have all of them, however I mainly use the #8 and #6 needle point brushes. Happy Painting and keep up the great work!
Excellent tutorial, everything explained very well. What was that music playing ever so faintly in the background, took me back to my high school days?
Hi Patricia, thanks for the kind words! The music is from a web site called Epidemic Sound,.... they have an impressive collection of post production music online,... the music sounds just like all our favorite bands, without getting copywrite infringement issues on TH-cam :0)
I LOVE your tutorials! they are SO helpful, and easy to understand - I have watched several and am going to "try" some of them on my own. I'm new to watercolor, so I need lots of practice. a question: you mention a 'needlepoint" brush in this video, but i haven't been able to find it for sale anywhere? does it have another name? or who is the vendor for it. again - keep up the great work.
Hi Robin, thanks so much for the kind comments! I purchase my red #8 needle point brushes at alvarocastagnet.net. They are excellent quality and work perfectly.
Hi Tom, great question. You know I may think of doing those in the near future at some point. Right now I have quite a few projects going …..so it’s difficult to start up something new. Thanks for joining along with us and Happy Painting 👍😎
Beginning painter. Your demos are the very best as I struggle. Your in depth explanations so helpful. Also, being able to actually see you mix your paints and your palette...wonderful. So happy I stumbled upon your lessons.
Hi Soffy, I appreciate it! I hope your art is coming along nicely and your having a lot of fun drawing and painting! :0) Thanks for watching and stay tuned for a lot more new videos.
To lighten the tonal value of the water in the ocean, why did't you simply add more water to the blue mix you had (keeping the same basic hue, just lighter)? Thanks!
Hi David, I like to add many color variations...you could get a great result using your method as well. I think it the artists choice how to work the magic on the paper! 👍😀
I was here 4 years ago. This is still one of my favorite beach scenes to do. Thanks Chris. Hope you are well. 🎉
Thanks Annette, great to know you are enjoying my videos after a break👍😎🍀 I know you were working with me for quite some time a ways back. Thanks for watching

Thank you 💚
Would you please let me know where you got your needle point brush.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial. Was wondering what brand and size “needle” brush you use. It looks amazing.
Hi Ida, it’s found on Alvaro Castagnet.net, I use #8 & #10 sizes 👍😎🍀
Beautiful Chris. I enjoy all of your tutorials! I cut up my old expired credit cards in different sizes and use it to make grasses, weeds and fine lines. It works great! 🎨
Hi, Thanks Linda! That is an interesting idea using credit cards to get some fine lines on the paper! Keep up the great work!
Man you’re good
Love your sky!!! Thank you for this video. So relaxing!!
Hi Ginger, thanks for watching and glad your painting along with us. Keep up the good work! Happy Painting!
I notice your switching brushes. Is it a dry brush to pick up excess water??
Great question,… Yes!
Thank you so much for your tutorials, these are so helpful for me.! My compliments from the Netherlands were the Heather fields are purple now. I would like to paint them. In oil and Acryl is not a problem for me, but what is it hard in watercolor! I have often tried it, but unfortunately, I can't fix it grrrrr. Maybe an idea for a future video and tutorial?

Kind regards, Hennie Teunissen.
So cool. What size is your needlepoint brush and why does it have a “belly”?
Hi, it’s an #8, and the belly holds extra paint so we can paint longer without having to keep returning to the palette 👍😎
PS.
You mentioned that you were not completely happy with the fence shadows-I loved them, but then I don‘t have your expert eye!

Hi Chris. Great tutorial. Can’t wait to attempt my own. What size paper do you work with?
Hi Gail, thanks for your kind comments and on TH-cam tutorials I usually work with 8x12 appx.
Nellie from British Columbia Canada
wondering about the watercolor paper you are using for this demo???
Hi Trish, that Arches satin - watercolor gummed block pad
Thank you for the tutorial, wondering what kind of eraser you are using? I always damaged my paper by erasing.
Vivienne Wei Try using a kneadable eraser. It doesn’t damage the paper.
Hi Vivienne, Alyssa is right,...kneaded is always best!
How do you get rid of your pencil marks after you are finished?
Hi, great question! I enjoy seeing them in my paintings… so for me I leave them 👍😎
To lighten the tonal value of the water in the ocean, why did't you simply add more water to the blue mix you had (keeping the same basic hue, just lighter)? Thanks!
