Hi Charles! I am loving your videos in water colour and acrylics. I am learning a lot and have been practicing, following along. Are you able to do a couple more acrylics in your videos as I am presently predominantly an acrylic painter. Many thanks again.
So it's hookers green and RAW seinna for distant grasses sorry grauses and hookers green with burnt seinna for foreground grasses sorry grauses. Got it! Thanks for a great tutorial.
Charles love your teaching, I didn't realize that I have your book "Boats & Harbours"! I'll try your techniques , I try to paint too detailed and need to loosen up! Thanks so much! Rich Banks in California! 👍👍👍👍
watched the video again! I JUST GOT THE DIGITAL ART REFERENCE, I was worried at first that it was something new that I had missed, very clever. But if you want a good laugh, watch one of your videos with the cc on, it's really pretty funny what comes up.
Charlie everytime I try and do the clouds Ike this, it's hit n miss. They either work out or they up just a grey blob on the blue background. How much pressure are you applying with your finger when you're blending the grey mix and white of the clouds? Lovely painting 😎
@@charlesevans7706 thank you so much for the quick reply Charlie, I'm just starting a painting today, and I want to get the sky just right with clouds like this. Much appreciated👌🏻👌🏻
Another brilliant painting. I'm pining for the coast at the moment - haven't been out of the house for months - I have COPD - but your reflection technique will certainly find its way on to memories of the North coast of the Llyn Peninsula later in the week. Thanks again for keeping me sane. Keith
I went in for a painting lesson and in a bit I was feeling the breeze on my face, the dogs splashing around and the wave pushing my feet into the sand... I really didn’t want it to end! And at the same time, the silly captions had me laughing 😂 myself under the table, the way they reinterpret your comments is a show unto itself 🤣😅😆 So thank you Charles in Northumberland🌎for a lovely painting 🖼, thoroughly enjoyed in this quarantine day by me, in the north part of California ☀️... Thank you again and please keep your lovely 😊 painting lessons coming ❗️ My name is Marisa and I am fan❗️
2010LaMarisa thank you soooo much for the lovely comments. I have to be lighthearted, it’s not too serious, it’s supposed to be fun. It’s like these people that give a thumbs down to videos. What’s not to like? It’s for free!! There’ll be plenty more coming, next one will be a watercolour. Take care.
Beautiful. I certainly learned quite a bit here Charles. Love the cloud reflection in the beach water..I am certainly going to incorporate this technique into my own painting. Thank you Charles, I always look forward to your next acrylic painting lesson. Ps, lovely little aside about your postage stamp painting! Also, you book "Acrylic painting for absolute beginners", is absolutely superb, and I can well recommend it to anyone..loads of projects and examples and tips. Lovely book.
Well of course you know how talented you are, but I'm just totally engrossed watching you paint.YEARS of practice and talent, and I think I can emulate you! ha, but thanks for showing us how it is done! You are also a very effective teacher.
Late view again from me, but I could just gaze into this for ages and take it all in. A wonderful ambience you have painted Charles. When I catch up we can go fishing... lol. (Nz) 👍
@@bobadkins7377 Hi Bob, I bought the pocket book myself, a few months ago, very good. I'm just compiling a shopping list to start acrylic painting, I've only done watercolour. Thought I'd try something different.
That's beautiful Charles. I enjoyed watching and listening to you. Keep your natural accent when you say "grass". It's a short accented word. Grassssss is for those who have a problem with accents. Keep your own dialect. Many people like it. It's your video so you call grass grass! It is grass! Hugs xxxx
Sir you canvas is glaring because your light is focused directly on canvas. in the sense it's not diffused, viewing is little too bright from certain angles. Thank you.
👍👍👍🌏👍👍👍 (Nz) Brilliant.... brilliant. Methinks you also have an instrument hiding in the next room also, lol. Love your paintings, Love your perspectives used too. Love the depth and ambience. Bugger, Now I need to paint. 🙂🙂🙂 I like the Yorkshire connection..
Charles, I have a strong feeling of buying your book... but have to gather my thoughts as to what else on your site as well. Lol. You will be hearing from me.. we dont have flashy stuff here down under much. Only fishnChips on a dark stormy night. I have done a few paint scetches but want to get my teeth more into it... to combine with other thoughts. Cheers to you till then.
Thank you for all the wonderful tutorial. At 60 I'm just learning to paint. You have been so helpful. By the way my great grandparents were from North Umberland.
Once again voila! Out pops another masterpiece. I've ordered your book and can't wait for the 25 day waiting period to pass. In the mean time I watch your videos over and over and each time I discover something I've missed the previous 6 times. I'm afraid that by the end of the covid-thing I will be a Charles Evans copycat - digital art and all :) Thanks Charlie!
Wow, that was quite a story about your tiny paintings from years ago! You are such a joy to watch and you have me giggling throughout your video with your sense of humor. I especially loved the red wine stroke you used in this particular painting. LOL!!!
Watched you over the years with delight , and thank you for your latest version. My wife and I used to visit Northumberland quite a bit and nearly 50 years ago we had our honeymoon up there which started our love with the place ....and what a beautiful place it is... If a bit wind swept. You haven't changed much and I am still enthralled with your painting. I do thank you for inspiring me to paint. Now a days I have moved on to painting and researching Paul Cezanne , BUT the point is you have to start somewhere , and I am very pleased I came across yourself in earlier days which gave me a good start . Thank you.
Lovely painting, I'm catching up on your videos while I'm on furlough, for the third time..lol It has its advantages, I get to paint more. 😊 Glad to hear you sorted those 'villans ' out, no one gets the better of a yorkshireman, or woman 😉 Thanks for giving us so many great tips.
Very beautiful work my friend!!! Just as a side note, could you please always say a word or two about the painting on the wall behind you!!! They are so beautiful!!!
It’s such pleasure watching you paint. You sure know your brushes! Did you paint this from memory or from a photo you took when you were there? You are sporting a sunburn😂
Wow, looks really good and loving the graaaaaass in the distance too. It's great having a cuppa and watching you paint, I really enjoy these videos. Stay safe up there, Charles.
Ahhh, beach day. Sounds fabulous. Maybe Sunday when the weather us better I'll pop over to the lake. If I can get the family to take care of the new puppy. Needs 2 more rounds of shots before she can go. Thanks Charlie. I sure will miss you when you get back on the road.👏👏👏👏
Hi Charles. Been without the tinternet for about 3 weeks. It was my lifeline to the world during lock-down as I have no working TV. Found you again this morning as soon as I was connected. Love your demos and learn a lot from your teaching methods. However, I too am a Northern lad and grass should be pronounced GRASS, proudly and without apologies to a less fortunate populace. Thanks so much for the lovely work that you share with us all.
Could you do a quickie on composition please? You have a wonderful eye . I have a basic grasp of perspective and colours and seeing your drawings is proper inspiration. Ty
You can leave it showing through wherever you want. And if you have the paint thin in areas, it shows through there too and gives an even balance to the whole thing!
Thanks for another lovely painting. I have a few of your books and have followed lots of your tutorials but I still struggle with the clouds and 'digital art'. The white always seems to merge with the blue underneath and turns into a grey mess! I wonder should I let it dry a bit first but I see that you don't do that. At a loss to know what to do. Painting on a canvas board
As always great painting! Looking forward to getting my paints, love the brushes. Really enjoying your talent even more with this quarantine.I can’t get enough 🙏🏼. Thanks for all the extra time 👍🏻
Thank you for popping in with the occasional acrylic painting. This one is lovely. Although I'm not a really good painter, I'm much better with acrylics than water color; I think I'm too heavy handed with the brush. (as an aside, I finally realized who you remind me of. Patrick McGoohan as Longshanks in Braveheart! All you need is some chain mail and a crown, lol.) Anyway, I appreciate your tutorials. I really look forward to them!
Thank you so much for the new videos!! So grateful to have your guidance with these new demonstrations! 🎉🎊♥️
You’re very welcome.
A great masterI Iwas fed up withsujects like beaches grass seasideBut you taught me a fresh over look,
Pleased you enjoyed it.
Hi Charles! I am loving your videos in water colour and acrylics. I am learning a lot and have been practicing, following along. Are you able to do a couple more acrylics in your videos as I am presently predominantly an acrylic painter. Many thanks again.
Pleased you’re enjoying them. The last couple have been in acrylics so the next couple will be watercolour, then more acrylics.
Very good painting and video. Makes me think if perhaps I should have started with acrylics first rather than watercolor?
Bob Adkins most people start with watercolour really.
What a brilliant painting, love your digital art,. Learning a lot from your quickies,. Thanks for sharing your wonderful art,. 😘👏😘
Julie Vickers thank you very much m.
So it's hookers green and RAW seinna for distant grasses sorry grauses and hookers green with burnt seinna for foreground grasses sorry grauses. Got it! Thanks for a great tutorial.

Love your paintings! If you ever come to Kentucky to teach a course hope I could afford to take it. HaHa
Sue Mitchell Ahahaha, I’m cheap.
Thanks a lot for the easy tips . You make acrylics painting easy for beginners
I just love your videos. I don’t even paint with acrylics, but watched you anyway. Can’t wait for your next watercolor 🤗
Pleased you enjoyed it, watercolour next.
Brilliant Charles. Thanks for these videos. Fairly passes the day.
Such generous teaching...really helpful tips and great close ups to show what's going on. Thank you for your contribution to sanity . Chris
You’re very welcome, pleased you’re enjoying them.

Christine Baker Pateman pleased you enjoyed it.
Loved this! Could almost feel the sea breeze on my face!
Barbara Munford thank you very much.
Nicely done, man! Also very much admired that painting on the wall directly behind you with the dark sky and the illuminated tree.
Thomas Robbins that’s the tree at the bottom of my garden.
Charlie everytime I try and do the clouds Ike this, it's hit n miss. They either work out or they up just a grey blob on the blue background.
How much pressure are you applying with your finger when you're blending the grey mix and white of the clouds?
Lovely painting 😎
It’s very light pressure, just to gently merge the colours.
@@charlesevans7706 thank you so much for the quick reply Charlie, I'm just starting a painting today, and I want to get the sky just right with clouds like this. Much appreciated👌🏻👌🏻

Another brilliant painting of a calming beach, should come down here to our beaches in south Devon sometime
Philip Down I know, you have lovely beaches down there.

Hello sir , love to watch your paintings , want to know the purpose of raw sienna painted in the background.
It’s a good base colour to shine through.
Hi Charles I enjoy watching your painting. Great instructions and enjoy your humor.
Ahh, good another acrylic. I've just sent off for your book 'Acrylics for the Absolute Beginner'.
Richard Gibbs hopefully you’ll enjoy it.
Richard Gibbs I’m considering that book myself. I bought the pocket book for watercolor, it’s very good!
@@bobadkins7377 Hi Bob, I bought the pocket book myself, a few months ago, very good. I'm just compiling a shopping list to start acrylic painting, I've only done watercolour. Thought I'd try something different.
Love this so relaxing to watch you paint. And l love the theme of beeches, hills and mountains.
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it, thank you.
Love your technique from Chris Dijksman
Thank you very much.

Question from a beginner. What is the advantage of the base wash?
You can leave it showing through wherever you want. And if you have the paint thin in areas, it shows through there too and gives an even balance to the whole thing!
