In this lesson I’ll give you some tips on how you can paint seemingly complex scenes more easily.
The painting process is surprisingly similar to how you would paint a more simple subject, so don't be put off by the seeming "complexity" of an object!
And if you give this a try, let me know how you get on in the comments 🙂

Hello! I'm Anthony. An independent artist and illustrator based near Paris in France. Watercolor painting was my first passion. So a few years ago I took out my old paints, and rekindled my love for watercolors. I decided to start sharing some of my watercolor experiences in the form of my blog, “WatercolorAffair.com” (and now through my UA-cam channel). My objective was to start sharing some of my hard won knowledge in the hope that it will help and inspire others to paint with watercolors! Thank you for following !

    Thank you for the walk through demo. This was great. A few things I noticed, I am using M. Graham paints (mostly because I live in a very dry enviro and they stay soft). My paint doesn't come close to granulating like the paints you are using. My paints when dropped in wet didn't distribute like yours, especially the Paynes gray. My results were came out with much smoother gradients. I am using 100% cotton paper, a bit cheaper brand for practicing, so that could be part of it. I will try it again with some Arches.

    I'm going to try a portrait today, I'm so scared to try a portrait. I do dogs, and it's okay if a whisker or paw is not quite the same, but a portrait is totally different.

    Greetings from France. Your wonderful video popped up just as I needed. Thank you for this, you are truly generous. Much appreciated. I have tackled a few portraits with varying degrees of success. I earn my living as a botanical artist which makes my art less spontaneous. But.this method is such a good idea and seems somehow to make me feels more relaxed. You made it easy. Thank you very much. Je sais que vous pouvez comprendre, donc, bonne continuation et encore merci.

    Thank you for this! I have only this year gotten into watercolor painting. There's a particular image I want to paint, but I wasn't sure if I should paint entire objects with their lightest color, and then add the darks in layers - or if I should paint the different values totally separately (i.e. paint the light part its color, then the slightly darker part its color, without the lighter color underneath). I appreciate that you showed the whole process here, so I know that I should paint entire objects (minus highlights protected with masking fluid) their lightest color, and then layer on the darker colors. Thank you so much!

  • @cmeblu75
    @cmeblu75 5 місяців тому

    That tonal value app is golden 👍 that really helped me out of a pinch in my initial drawing. I always draw before I paint. I try and plan as much as possible, but sometimes you get a reference that’s not the best and you’re paid to make something out of it. Real beginners should never try working from sub-par references bcuz it really makes life difficult, even for artists who know what they’re doing.
