Lovely painting, thanks for sharing your techniques ❤

Oh gosh I have sanded with 600grit to remove paint Super scary

Fantastic video thank you. Could you substitute a piece of glass for a board?

I’ve watched two of your shorts and already I have learned four great tricks. Using a ruler and a magnifying glass while painting never occurred to me. And even though I use reference photos, I never tried sizing as large as my paintings, since they are never quite that realistic. But from now on I will use all those tricks! Thank you!❤

I only wished the short was a longer vision of your work I use Winsor paint as well Thankyou for showing the paint codes

You are amazing! I just found your channel by mistake and subscribed:) Do. You let the blue background dry completely before applying the black?

Great video. Thank you. I see you are using masking fluid. It seems everytime I use masking fluid I end up tearing the paper. What is the trick to not tearing the paper? Thanks.

Please share more on UA-cam. Your talent is rare, as Tik Tok may be before long. Thank you for all. (Visited your website and related gallery. Whatta treat!)

Your dogs are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing this little snippet of your life <33

Thankyou I am new to watercolour painting and really still finding my style I am detail oriented and have a hard time accepting abstract results I really enjoy your realistic dives into whimsy

I don't understand why you don't paint the background first with negative painting for the birds. Wasn't that remove a lot of these problems

Where did you go? Why haven't you been uploading videos?

Great tips and I am curious about something not really related to the wash which is why you are using tape on this painting as opposed to butchers tape which you used in some of your other videos? Also - the complexity of your line work is just phenomenal. You have that much light and dark and no running!

I'm an old-school offset press operator for over four decades, and was just given watercolors as a gift after I expressed an interest in painting, and I'm so happy I looked up "preparing watercolor paper for use" FIRST THING and found this video! The reason I mention offset printing? Humidity is sometimes my enemy, and sometimes my friend! My relative humidity meter that has hung on the wall of the Print Shop is usually the first thing I check if I'm going to run tricksy paper, like extremely lightweight carbonless sheets, during a very dry spell, or and extremely damp spell of indoor weather. And if i'm havving trouble running a particular stock? Check the humidty! Paper can be so picky, and I've ruined some very expensive pre-collated NCR in my time! This is good knowledge, and I thank you!

I love your videos in real time. As a beginner painter it makes it much easier to properly observe what you’re doing. Thank you for creating such great content!

Unless that was a great deal, I would return a sheet to any vendor too stupid to put the sticker on the back.

Could you share which rotatrim model do you use for cutting paper?

Hello and thank you from a new subscriber - the detail, narration and dry sense of humor make these very enjoyable. Like others on here, I had no idea that block paper still needed to be stretched, although certainly I have observed buckling (just didn't realize stretching would solve the problem). I have a question (in case you're reading this). Would this process be effective if the paper was stretched in this manner, removed from the drawing board, and then taped onto another, lighter board? I ask because I like to work on fairly small, light boards, not something heavy like your example. I don't have a great workspace, and tend to work on multiple paintings simultaneously, so I need to compact things as much as possible. Thank you again. Looking forward to viewing many more of these.

I would love to know how you come up with such brilliant ideas for your compositions. Your work is truly unique

I'm here after "stretching" my paper as I believed convenient, realizing I'm all wrong lmaooo

So we have to lose an inch of paper on every side. I can’t afford that tho lol

If you don’t lay down the tape accurately along the edges of your bottles, how in the world do you refine those edges in a way that doesn’t show after you wash in the background? Just found your channel, and immediately subscribed!

Can I ask how you prevent the masking tape from tearing the top layer from your paper?

I did this and it peeled a bit omg 😢

So you can't pull off the tape? Does it rip the paper?

Very clear explanation, thanks. You mention the paper is 'face down', but surely that's just for wetting the back of the paper. When your doing the final wetting, you must turn the paper over?

Advice for how to get into a gallery? Sadly I feel like it’s a “who you know” situation. But what is the process typically/traditionally? 🤔

oh too late, I did my masonite, the paper when it dried dragged the masonite to concave. 😂

Like another commenter mentioned, wish I saw your video before I bought a traditional cool/warm set XD

I noticed you use the same sponge to wet the paper as you use to activate the tape. Do you find there is any glue transfer to the paper with subsequent uses? Do you clean the sponge?

I have interpreted the theme of two of those paintings as “things that I know shouldn’t been happening but I’m probably not going to do anything about”

that’s so awesome congratulations!!!!

❤

looks absolutely beautiful so far!! can’t wait to see it done :)

Omg 😮 thank u 🙏

Absolutely gorgeous. Your videography is honestly very warm and your transitions are beautifully done. And the painting is just lovey.

Yay!!

Looks amazing

Thank you!

Really beautiful result ❤

Yet another wonderfully dense video full of useful tips and observations! Thanks so much for taking the time to upload these, they're super helpful.

Thank you so much for uploading this! This is exactly the kind of technical problem solving with watercolor I've been looking for. The detailed play by play really helps. You're a wonderful teacher :>

I just got mine, it’s hard for me to get the wrap off of the 1/2 pans, and everything is in I think chinese, I’m frustrated right now! I just want get the paint wet and see how I like these colors!

Stunning as always!

You remind me of one of my all time favorite teachers, he was my chemistry teacher who has a very similar voice and personality. Thank you for being such an inspiration to others like he did to me! ❤

So nice!!! Looks amazing!! ❤️❤️ new sub added, keep it up 🔥👍👍

Very well done! For landscape paintings, I may add a couple of earth tones from the following: yellow ochre, raw umber, burnt umber, burnt sienna. With the blues in your palette, you can make an infinite number of browns. Thanks.

Can we peel the brown gum tape off the drawing? To give a white border. Considering i do not want to make my A4 painting any smaller.

I was not prepared for the reveal, GORGEOUS!!

My jaw dropped. It looks amazing!
