Advancing with Watercolor: Problems and Solutions - Using Patterns to Solve Complexity
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2019
- This video was done to support my class which met on Location in Bellagio, Bergamo, and Venice Italy over 2 weeks in September . I this small series “Problems and Solutions” I present paintings done based on sketches or paintings done in the field. I will address common problems the watercolorist faces while working in Plein Air . Some of these are - what makes a good subject, how to work with shadows and changing light, architecture, simplifying complexity, and more...
In each video I will address some of the challenges with working on site as well a specific challenges in design and watercolor technique. Along the way I hope you experience the same thrill of working under an open sky that we did.
In this video I demonstrate how to simplify a complex scene using patterns.

Your ability to simplify the subject matter and come out with exceptional art is amazing
Just beautiful Gary! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to approach a complicated subject!
Loved this lesson, thank you Gary!
When I first saw this scene years ago, my very first thought was "I could never do that", and though it's certainly tricky, it seems easier than one may think!
Patterns are a great way to solve complexity - thx Brad
Thank you for another interesting video Gary. The way you transformed simple shapes to a complex rooftop scene. Wonderful.
What a wonderful gift you have. Your work is truly awesome. Thank you for sharing your talent.
It’s so good to see you again. Throughout time you have become my favorite watercolor artist. Your loose brushwork and technique, the use of color and loose compositions and your relaxed way of teaching, makes your channel great! Thank you so much for sharing your talents!
Marvelous! Congratulations!
I learned so much in this video -thank you!
Beginning from background gives way of bringing out perspective well.Nice tutorial I like the vice being so clear.Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your time to bring the tutorial to the screen.You use kind of pattern from simple shape repeated to capture the complicated scene,made beautiful picture as you always do.Specialy i like your design and colour theme.
As always your video lessons or so good can't tell you how much you have helped my painting
Thank you for this perfect art lesson...you are very inspiring , with your warm voice you are helping us to better understand what is important and how to express
Hello Gary (bonjour) I do not comment all your videos, but I watch them ALL. Sometimes I get back in the past and have a look at some special ones because of the interestthey represent at some very special moments. You are a great painter and a tireless, incurable teacher :). Merci beaucoup.
Most excellent!
Thank you Gary. I just discovered you. I love your paintings and your great, calm instructions. Thank you!
I love how you managed the complexity here. Beautiful painting, very evocative of the scene, thank you so much for sharing your process both of sketch and painting :-)

Magnifico!!! grazie
I would never have managed to tackle a scene like this...thank you for the strategy on how to approach this. Incredibly helpful!
Thx for the comments Pat
Beautiful work. So happy I found you .
Value study was pretty awesome. I’d hang that on my wall! Great video as always
Very interesting and instructive. Thanks for sharing.
Simply awsome ,
Excellent description and art
Value study.....before actual painting is so useful...thank you...I want infuse this habit in my ART veins...
Beautiful work Gary.
Your videos are not only very inspiring but so well put together. Even an old klutz like me has now dug out the brushes, the tubes and paper and started to try and paint again.
John hanks for sharing - and in the words of Joseph Zbukvic “never give up”
You definitely made sense of a difficult subject gary...nice work
Maravilloso
At 36:49 you added a tiny stripe of white that changed everything for me. All of a sudden I could see the shadows. Then I could see how the white leads the eyes to the tower. Great lesson. Thank you.
Thank you Nick for the kind feedback
SPECTACULAR🍀.
Thankyou for your video. I’m inspired to dig out some European scenes.
Cuanto talento Maestro!!!!
Vos vidéos m’ont été très utiles pour améliorer mon niveau. Merci beaucoup
Block your colors, then detail.....You are the best!!!
Amazing !
Really fabulous job.dear
I love your approach I'm striving to do much the same.
Very helpful.
Amezing penting wow!!👏❤️💥💥🙋
Awesome Gary!
Fyi Chitrapat paper is a beautiful handmade paper from India that has more of a random grain (as opposed to machine pressed) similar to leather, which provides a subtle texture to dry brush strokes (less uniformity) and also more of a granular quality.
Thanks for the lesson! I'd like to learn to paint city landscapes and that will definitely help!
Valerie - I am glad to hear it helps -
Wow nicely done
it is my favorite painting among the many of yours. Appreciate your commentary so much. They are very helpful. I would like to know if you offer any online workshops. ^ ^
It looks cold, wintery, though nice. Bergamo probably later this year.
Hi Gary..
I am a subscriber of your videos..
Your teaching method is simple and interesting...
pl. give the information about
paper , brushes & colors which you use...
I love your videos, Gary. Do you think you might be uploading videos in the future with a higher resolution? At 360px, everything appears quite blurry/pixelated on the screen.
Superb

Thank you for always
genious
thank you
Please speak about the paper that you normally use for watercolour painting?
I'm living in middle east. UAE...desert like atmosphere..No green around....how can I choose a subject for plein air
Gary - your videos have been so helpful in my own watercolor journey. Do you have a Patreon account or other way we can support all the work you put into your channel?
What white is it? Gouache?
This is one of my favourites Gary
Thanks Danny - It was a Grand View and a challenge
You make it look so easy, one day I’m going to pluck the courage and pick a brush up again
I think your idea of using tones of a single colour might be a good place to start
🙏🙏🙏🌹❤️👍😎
Please put the vid at higher resolution
Io abito vicino a Bergamo -
Thanks for sharing, but I don't think the video is very useful the way you did it. Most peopel are going to want to paint along with you. But we can't. There is no reference photo. There is no picture-in-picture of the reference photo. We cannot see what you're painting. It is impossible to follow what you're doing unless there is a reference photo.
