This is by far the best seascape tutorial on the internet. Thank you for showing us your whole process to create your beautiful painting🇨🇦
Glad it was helpful!
I will watch this again and look for more of your videos. Thanks again. You are kind and generous to share your talent with us. You are a great teacher as well.
Glad you liked it!
I’ve been watching several of your videos now and I’m so impressed and pleased. You’ve taught me so much and now I’m eager to start painting again after given it up for several years. Thank you so very much! ❤❤ ❤
Great to hear! Have fun!
I think this is the best seascape watercolor that I have ever seen, and I have seen many. Your paintings are wonderful, and you are a great teacher as well! I love that I have finally found a watercolor teacher who knows how to paint the ocean and spray and foam exactly right!
Wow, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love love love your style and explaining techniques are very understandable! Thanks for sharing your talent
You are so welcome!
Mr. Cartwright, Your tutorial gently demonstrates so many valuable pieces of information: preparation of the paper, a spare but informative drawing, the mixing of a large quantity of key colors, the importance of soft and hard edges and the delicacy involved in reserving white paper. I'm amazed at how much you imparted and demonstrated in a single tutorial. Will be searching out others of your videos.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your complete demonstration, and for being so generous to share your talents. I’m a fan.
You are so welcome! Thank you for the feedback.
I have very recently started watching Joes tutorials and decided to subscribe because I like explanations. He is precise and easy to follow.
Thank you very much. Welcome on board!
That´s a quite stunning watercolor - thank you so much! There is so much to learn here - thank you for that too! Greetings Renate
You are so welcome! Glad you learned something from it.
This blew me away... Your work is just incredibly so detailed yet flows effortlessly at the same time. I am more then impressed. Thank you Joyce.
Wow, thank you! Glad you liked it. :-)
Joe…… this is stunning! I feel like I’m at the Oregon coast on a stormy day! Colors are so true to the water and foam and rocks! Mesmerizing! I think I’ll go put my Aussie Drizabone on😉
Many thanks Janice, glad you liked it. It could certainly have been on the Oregon coast! :-)
Gorgeous, and you can “see” the crashing, the swell…one can tell it is a wild day, and ocean is crashing…
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Thank you for showing you painting in real time. It make me realize painting takes time.
My pleasure 😊
Great video! More like this please! Step by step water, water is sooooooo hard! Ripples, waterfalls, streams, reflections, swells…..
Glad you found my video helpful, thanks for the feedback about future videos.
An excellent demonstration. Lived in that town for 30 years and spent lots time on those rocks while hubby fished for tailor off the point. I’ve seen that wild surf that made it unapproachable. You’ve captured it’s raw beauty and made this sort of scene attainable for a novice like me. I could almost smell the salty air. I appreciate your time that you share Joe.
Hello Carol, glad you liked my video. It is always nice when someone tells me of their connection to a location I have painted. One day I was approached by a lady to do a commission of a lighthouse. I told her I had some reference photos I took of the old lighthouse at Crookhaven Heads , she said that was great as the commission she wanted was of that very same lighthouse where her dad was the lighthouse keeper for many years. The the commission was for his 85th birthday present!
I have really enjoyed watching you paint this beautiful seascape. Thank you for each explanation. It turned out so beautiful 😃😃😃
My pleasure 😊Glad you enjoyed it.
I started watching this, needing something to send me to sleep. I apologise!
I was mesmerised by your talent and technique. Usually I paint in acrylic, but now am drawn to watercolour.
Thank you Sir, for the enlightenment.
Pure genius! 👏👏
Wow, thank you! Sorry it did not put you to sleep, but very happy it has inspired you to have a look at watercolour. :-)
I will be revisiting a lot hoping to learn more each time but also just to see this very beautiful painting. Thank you so much.
My pleasure 😊Thanks you for your feedback and support.
i love this marvelous painting. Thank you for posting this tutorial. I will try to paint this.
Have fun!
I really enjoyed learning about painting waves and rocks, Joe! Thanks for your detailed share!
Glad you enjoyed it Judy.
Wow, the way the waves materialized with your amazing talent was mind blowing! Love love! I want to try painting this type of painting with all your great tips!
Thank you so much!
With the water here was my lesson in putting on the paint and leaving it giving very clean washes. Thanks
Glad I could help!
It really helps to see your reference photo as you paint.
Thank you for the feedback.
Beautiful work! Thank you.
Glad you liked it.
I throughly enjoyed just watching the process. Just finished your 10 rock techniques as well. Awesome…
Thanks for the feedback Wendy, glad you are enjoying my videos.
So glad that I got you in my UA-cam feed. Wonderful painting and sharing your technique was spot on.
❤️Thanks from 🇨🇦
My pleasure 😊 Glad you are enjoying my paintings.
Wow! I can't wait to try this! You have done a wonderful job showing and explaing how you create a beautiful waterscape! Best I have seen!
Thank you so much! Enjoy having a go at it.
A beautiful painting of waves, I really enjoyed watching you complete this work.
Thank you for watching.
Thank you Joe for such an informative tutorial. I learnt so much watching it. I was looking for a tutorial on crashing waves so I could learn how paint some of our New Zealand rocky beach scenes. This was just the tutorial I needed.
You're very welcome Susanne! Glad it was of help.
Great job, Joe! Thanks for the demo.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed my video.
What an absolutely stunning painting, so realistic.
Thank you so much 😀
Loved watching this - this video really demonstrated the value of being good at drawing to get a good composition at the outset and was more detailed and technical than many other artists videos showing how to do waves in watercolour. Not sure I could replicate it, but certainly enjoyed watching it unfold. Thanks Joe,
Thanks for the feedback Jeanie. As long as you got some useful information from it I am happy. The skill comes with working out what to do, and lots of practice! :-)
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful tutorial with us. I enjoyed every second of it!🙏🏻👍🏼☺️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just wonderful!!! What a fantastic tutorial! A real delight! Big hug!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your sea color and your technique of wetting the back of paper first. I have not been able to find gator board in our community but I will keep looking. Thank you!
You are so welcome! The gator board is not critical to the process, you could use a piece of acrylic - it is just heavier.
Beautiful painting and excellent tutorial, thank you
Thank you, glad you found it useful.
Thanks so much again Joe, so very informative, so much practice to do for me, management of both the flow of water (or lack of it) and the thickness of paint, using what I already have in my palette etc. such a lot to remember, but little my little things are sort of becoming automatic - so that's an improvement
Hi Grant, glad you enjoyed it and learning from my videos. Small steps lead to progress, well done.
I love your style of painting! I love the way you explains your techniques. It’s so helpful! Thank you so much! New subscriber!
Thanks and welcome!
I learnt so much from this demonstration. It was excellent. Thank you
You're very welcome!
Hi Joe, just discovered your channel! How nice it is to hear another Aussie. I promptly subscribed and look forward to learning lots..
Thanks and welcome!
I appreciate your detailed narrations and excellent explanations of your methods. Thank you!
You're very welcome! Thank you very much for the feedback, helps me plan future ones. :-)
Incredible. Please can you do more of these? Loved this so much and I learned a few things from this tutorial.
Thank you! Will do!
What a gorgeous painting! I want to paint this one day. I am just learning and I am amazed at your skill. Thank you!
You are so welcome. Enjoy your watercolor journey.
Thank you for showing the whole process, that was so informative.. I have gained confidence to try it , maybe today itself 😃🙏🏻
You are so welcome! Have fun!
Thank you master for this tutorial. I was just wanting to start painting watercolor seascapes with rocks and foam. A few months ago I bought one of your books and I am learning a lot. Always so clear in your explanations.
You are very welcome. Thank you for purchasing my book.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and approach. Most instructive.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! Beautiful!
You are so welcome!
Thanks a lot 🙏🏻.. learnt a lot from your demo..
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your support!
It's beautiful..I love the sheer green waters... And I guess everything 😀 thanks
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Wow. You are amazing. Thank you, thank you. I needed to learn this. You are a great.
You are so welcome
Loved this video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great work, Joe! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely amazing!
Thank you. Glad you liked it.
Wow, such excellent work and your instruction is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this.
You are very welcome! Glad you enjoyed my video.
Thank you for an amazing video and great demonstration. I love the way you teach. I subscribed you with my both account so that I don't miss your videos.🔥🔥👍🏼💙💙
Many thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it. :-)
Wow the amount of movement you've captured is incredible and you give heaps of insight on how you do it. Fantastic tutorial bro definitely earned my sub 👍
Thanks for watching
Thank you, Sir! A lesson in watercolor and humility.
You are very welcome!
Wonderful, I think it was even better than picture !
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed my video.
It is WAOUHHHHHHHH….and detailed patience…thx a lot 👍🙏
You are very welcome. Glad you liked it.
Excellent tutorial, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I loved watching you paint the wave crashing on the rocks. It looks really difficult, but you have broken each section down and explained ‘how to’ so clearly that I think I might give it a go. Thank you Joe.
You could try just painting a single spray on a rock, then move on to the full video Irma.
@@JoeCartwright Good idea! But I think I’m just going to give it a go. 🤪
@@irmareitz701 That works too. Have fun!
@@JoeCartwright it’s scary, but fun. Going slowly step by step. It’s amazing how a little piece of white paper can stress one. 🙄
@@irmareitz701 Well done. Yes, it is only a piece of paper - but we all go through the fear at some stage. :-)
Thank you so helpful😊
You’re welcome 😊
Excellent!!!!!!
Glad you like it!
Thanks for a great demonstration
You are very welcome.
Dang! Beautiful, just beautiful!
Thank you!
Best I’ve seen Joe .👍👍👍👏🏼
Thank you Yvonne. :-)
Gorgeous colours. Such detail. ❤️
Thanks so much 😊
amazing, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
I attempted this scene today. I am happy with the results. But I know that I am quite a way away from refining my style. I’ll do another and then another and so on as to simplify my technique. Thus you are guiding me one step at a time. I am acutely aware that the results need to look effortless. I have a way to go. Thanx for your wonderful video😎
It is my pleasure, glad you are getting something out of my videos. The trick with watercolour is to enjoy the journey. Good luck with you painting.
Did another today. Improving little by little. The struggle is to make them look effortless and natural. As if God touched them😏
@@plowisonutube There is no shortcut for practice. Just enjoy the journey and small improvements. Step by small steps gets you to the top of the mountain.
@@JoeCartwright Yes. True!
@@JoeCartwright Joe I just sent you one of my color pencil drawings in messenger for you to enjoy😎
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Awesome
Do you have a video that explains the reason for wetting the back side of the paper and wetting the board? Thanks
Yes I do. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/f3SlN7jfxRw/v-deo.html
@@JoeCartwright thanks so much
I appreciate it😊
@@mikejustice1196 You are welcome. 😀
Obrigado pela excelente aula. A melhor que pude assistir.
You are very welcome! :-)
Superbe réalisation riche d'enseignement, bravo. Une simple question : quelle est la marque de vos pinceaux car ils me semblent excellents., merci
Thank you.The brank of my brushes are NEEF, an Australian company. Here is where I buy them from. artsup.com.au/products/neef-4750lp-round-squirrel-taklon-short-handle?gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjws7WkBhBFEiwAIi1686J_olNm2QLHC4WblZJRZYoWdWCO8MtPjDm91qif4mETe9v2MkUFihoCq5gQAvD_BwE
@@JoeCartwright Je vous remercie pour votre réponse, c'est très gentil. Bonne soirée.
Спасибо!!! Вы волшебник😍
You are welcome.
Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
Your painting looks better than the photo❤
Thank you so much 😀
Best tutorial Mr Joe. Can u please tell about colours, brush and pallette used. They seems to be one of the best, i hv seen
I talked about these things in the video but I will try and make it more clear in future demonstration. Maybe a quick text page at the start of the demonstration.
Thank you so much 💓
You're welcome 😊
Love all of Joe Cartwright's incredibly helpful "suggestions" and lessons. I don't know the time frame here, but I would very much like to know what kind of pallette he uses. I must have one!
Thanks very much for the feedback Joan. I am based in Sydney, Australia, if that helps. The palette I use is one I designed and printed using a 3D printer. I wanted one that had plenty of room for paints, large mixing areas, and could be used both in my studio and when I paint outdoors. As each has to be printed, the price is $60 Australian plus postage if you are interested.
@@JoeCartwright Thank you so much for that prompt reply, Joe, and while I'd very much like to have that unique palette (same 3D printer that can make limbs???), I'm sure the shipping would prevent my food shopping for six months. I'll
keep searching, hoping there's something out there that can equal what you use. Thanks again.
@@joanlafontaine1532 Yes, postage can be a problem. And eating ones palette is not nutritious. 🙂
This is beautiful!
Thank you.
is this lesson 14 please? after lesson 13 (to 19) numbering seems to stop. thank you for these fantastic videos!
This is not technically part of the beginner course playlist as it is an advanced painting but I added it to the beginners series as well as it is worth looking at. It belongs to my more advanced series which are not numbered. Well done on getting this far through the series, from now on the series is not as structured but more based on topics my students often have difficulty with.
What brushes are you using? It’s clear you’re using a natural hair brush in this demo, just wondering what brand or hair type. You do a knock out job with ocean scenes, which most artists find daunting (it’s probably the negative painting LOL)!
The brushes are made by and Australian company, NEEF, model is 4750-LP and they are a squirrel - Taklon blend.
@@JoeCartwright Squirrel AND Takklon? Wow! They have a pure squirrel look/behavior to them from what I can see. Maybe I should rewatch? I recently bought some squirrel rounds that were on clearance at Jerry’s Artarama here in the states, with the label “Creative Mark.” I could have sworn we had the same brushes, they look and behave the exact same way, even down to the color painted on the handle and the metal ferrule! And funny enough, I was looking up NEEF the other night because another Australian artist I know mentioned them. And now I just learned Creative Mark is what’s called a “House Brand” so it’s been imported to the States under the name “Creative Mark” and resold by Jerry’s Artarama as it’s House Brand. Which is the long way of saying - hey we are probably using the exact same brush that’s made by the same brush company- and sold under different names in our different countries. Wild how that works!
You could be right as I know that the company in Japan that makes them for NEEF also make similar brushes for other suppliers. @@ArtBlueCrane
Thanks
Many thanks for your support! I am glad you found my videos useful.
Beautiful
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
This is such a helpful video thank you so much! Did you use Arches 300lb cold press for the painting and what “board” did you wet to put the wet paper on please!
Glad you found my video helpful! I use Arches 90lb coldl press and the board I used is called gator board. But since then I have found that a piece of flat acrylic from the hardware store works just as well.
So genius 😍
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed my video.
Thank you for your wonderful tutorials. I am learning a lot. Love your palette. What is the name?
Glad you like them Marie. I designed and made the palette myself using a 3D printer. I wanted a palette with room for lots of paint and mixing areas.
Could you do a lighthouse scene for us one day?
I have added it to my list of future demonstrations.
Beautiful and thank you, but that is really hard for me to try.😂
👍👍👍👍👍
You can do it!
Great
Thank you.
Can you do a pink/orange sunset over crashing waves with the sun almost down but you can still "sea" the shape of the sun? I'm taking in all the details of your paintings before I start learning as much as I can thank you for your videos
The trick is to break you painting down into smaller steps. My video shows you how to do breaking waves, then the light from the sun will have a reflection similar to what I did in this video: ua-cam.com/video/mAHP4B1ZPiA/v-deo.html Then the orange and pink sunset can be done like this: ua-cam.com/video/mQYAgQWF0WU/v-deo.html The color of the water will be changed by the colors in the sky - plenty of free photos on the web can show you this. Good luck. One day I may do a video like you request but sadly I have many more I need to do before that one and they each take about 3 days to produce! :-)
When do you use 100% cotton Joe?
All the time Andy, I never use anything else.
P.S. Could be helpful if the reference photo is tucked somewhere on the screen for your students to refer to.
Yes, I have been doing that in my later videos. All a steep learning curve for me. I suggest taking a screen shot of my photo near the start of the video.
Dear Sir you say gsm what is it a code of paper, please elaborate?
GSM refers to grams per square meter and is a measure of how heavy a piece of paper is.
Can you detaill the colors? Thanks
I did mention the colors during the video.
Hi, I really enjoyed your tutorial and I have a small question. Why didn't you start the painting by painting the rocks? This will give shape to the painting from the beginning... 41:21
Generally I prefer from light tones to darker ones. Whatever works for you is best.
Thanks
way too many adverts, stopped watching after the fourth one......
Thanks for the feedback.
🕊🇺🇲💕
Thank you.
Hi Joe, it is me again... Sorry to bother you, but I did paint it today , and it turned out awesome!! Is there a Instagram account of your's that I can tag? Anyway, I am grateful 🙏🏻
Well done. My instagram account is joecartwrightartist.
