As an absolute beginner, these bitesized lessons are exactly what I needed. Thank you, Mr Pitt!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for your support
I love your method of teaching. Not much talking, straight to the point. Soothing voice as well. Thank you for your time.
Thanks for your kind comments, they are much appreciated. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I've just today found your channel, and what a blessing it's been! You're teaching and explaining things that no-one else I've watched has done (and I've watched tons of videos!). Thank you. I especially love that you explained to dip your brush in different pigments to get a variety of colors on the wash. This is what really sets a painting apart and I can't thank you enough for sharing that. I've subscribed, and look forward to learning more from you! God bless you.
Many thanks for getting in touch. I’m glad the videos are helpful. Thanks for your encouraging remarks, they are much appreciated. There are more free-to-watch videos and studio notes on my website: www.andrewpitt.co.uk
love this short format! and thanks for starting from some of the fundamentals, it's always important to remember them and they often get glossed over in other videos and tutorials. Love you art style and teaching style, it has been the most useful to improve my own art : ) Thank you so much and I wish you a fantastic 2023 :D
Glad you like them. Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
This video could not have appeared in my feed at a better time. I'm renewing my interest in watercolors and am basically a beginner again. Your useful tips, especially with adding variations in the wash are invaluable. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to the next video.
Glad it was helpful. Thank you for your support and encouragement

Thank you for these shorter bite sized lessons breaking things down. Great for honing in on the important basics.
Glad you like them. Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you so much for your kindness on sharing these lessons with us! S2 Learning by myself has been tough sometimes since there's a lot to understand of the processes of painting watercolor. I observe the tecniques on videos and I've been wishing a lesson like yours. Make me so grateful! I resonated with what you said in the begining of the lesson about the way we set ourselves for painting... get things clear, since we work with water. I love clouds and I admire ours. I'm a begginer and learning! Thank you again S2
Many thanks for your support and kind words. There are more videos on my website which you may find useful; www.andrewpitt.co.uk

Thank you, Andrew, that is wonderful information that I will take to my watercolor paintings
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for getting in touch. There are many more free to watch videos on my website: www.andrewpitt.co.uk
You are an amazing teacher. I have zero knowledge in watercolor painting and after watching your videos, I feel like I can try😊. Thank you for sharing this😊
Thank you so much. Very kind. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thanks 🙏. I have seen you do this before, but there things in this video that bring them back to my front of mind.
Oh good, thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Find your work inspirational, left Suffolk 60 years ago and now in retirement I enjoy water colour painting local scenes from old (B and W) photographs of Eye which takes me right back there. Your water colour tips and hints makes it simple for me to create the Suffolk atmosphere I want from the other side of the world. Your instructional technique is a pleasure to listen to.
Thanks - glad the videos are proving helpful. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
always enchanted with your talent
Oh, that’s very kind. Thank you.
🎨 Thank you so much for these wonderful videos! It's been a rough year and this is a lovely way to start a new one. Happy New Year to you and yours! 🌟
Many thanks for your kind comments. They are much appreciated. Happy painting.
Tomorrow's the day I try try my hand. So glad to find you!
Good luck.
These videos are so helpful! Thank you so much!
Thanks. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
@@AndrewPittArtist Thanks! I bought your book. I look forward to reading it.
@@Kathy-bc5yq Oh, thank you. I hope you enjoy the book at find it helpful.
This is a wonderful tutorial!
Thanks. Hope you have seen the others at www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I seriously started learning watercolour painting three years ago and still find your classes extremely helpful. Watercolour is a skill and all skills are ‘learnt’ and you get out of those skills what you put (or pun, paint ). So thank you for sharing. I bought several of your tutorials on your website which I still refer to and I have gained so much over this last year. You take out all the mystery and say it as it is, which I like as it is easy to follow and now know there is ‘no mystery’ 😊 I tried the so called freestyle painting but it is not for me. This way is much more relaxing and I achieve far better paintings. Happy painting ✏️🎨🖍️
Many thanks for your support and encouragement. I think the so-called ‘freestyle’ is more about the ego of the artist showing off. I have not learnt anything from watching this way of painting. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Your calmness is contagious! Thank you for the video! Very instructive.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your kind comments. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I have never had anyone describe the process the way you do. Thank you, so much!
Thanks for getting in touch. Glad the videos were useful. Your support and encouragement is much appreciated.
This was an excellent video…Thank you so much! There is so much context on UA-cam it is hard sort through it all to find a logical path forward.. 13:46
Glad it was helpful - thanks for getting in touch. There are more free to watch videos on my website: www.andrewpitt.co.uk
This looks an interesting series, I look forward to seeing these.
Thank you Andrew, I love this new 10min format...Good refresher on essential techniques
Glad you like them. Thanks for getting in touch.
I am 54. Have a lot of watercolour рaрer, brushes and and a few sets of watercolours. I am afraid, I fear to sрoil materials with my clumsy рoking. Videos that I watched so far, didn't give me enough confidence to shake of my рre-рainting anxiety, but this one, the first one of yours, which haррened to aррear in my youtube suggestions, cured me!
Oh, good. Never worry about using up paper and paint, they can be replaced. Time is the one thing you cannot buy more of, so get painting. There are more videos which might help on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk Good luck.
Thank you! This is exactly what I need as a frustrated beginner. Look forward to more short videos. Perfect length as well.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

Glad you like them. Thanks for your support and encouragement. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Andrew, thank you for posting these 'shorts' to kick start a new year. Your technique is so refreshing and your use of colour very easy to follow for new & old students alike. Looks like someone bought you a new set of brushes for Christmas? Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year.
Glad you like them. Thanks for your kind comments. By the way, the brushes are all my usual ones - no new ones.
This is just what I needed, 'thank you. I'm all set to start learning how ro paint watercolour. Greetings from Australia.

Thanks for your support. There are more videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Great lesson , thanks . Love your studio too.
Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thanks a lot for starting a series of basic fundamentals and it’s really helpful for the beginner and I am very beginner. So one thing I want to suggest you to add in your future videos that if you can describe the strokes which your are painting like upwards , horizontal or vertical or diagonal. Coz I am struggling with this and no you tube artist tell you this Ana’s I watched so many videos. It’s really super nice of you if you can make another series or something like how to show depth with strokes and how to give feel of heights or depth or valley. And what kind of strokes we need to use. Like if painting water fall stroke should be from top to bottom vertically. I hope I make you understand that what beginners are looking for and if you can help with this.. Thanks again for awesome series and its really helping
Thanks for your kind comments and for your suggestions. I’ll make sure I mention how to use the brush effectively. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
@@AndrewPittArtist Tons of Thanks 🙏🏻. Appreciated. I just started follow you and find your specially this tutorial is very helpful. I am gona try to paint this. Is there any group so we can share out image ?

Thank you Andrew. I have just subscribed, and look forward to your beginner series. it's so helpful to see how others paint. I get hard edges when I paint from the outside in on a large area, so I can't wait to give your instructions a go.
Thank you. Glad you have found the videos helpful.
Love your lessons! ❤ Just what I need as I am a beginner. 🌞
Thanks for getting in touch. Glad the videos are helpful. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

Love these videos. Helps to geet an understanding of why some artist do the things they do. I love the progress that I am making.
Glad you like them. Thanks for getting in touch
I learned more in this video than the previous five I have just watched elsewhere.
The little tips offered make a huge difference, to see you paint the building in different tones and do a little section at a time was a big lesson right there, I have been doing it all at once in one wash, thanks for this, looking forward to watching the other four videos.
Thanks for your interest and encouragement, it is much appreciated. I’m glad the video has been helpful. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
You've been doing it the correct way (all at once), same as Alvaro Castagnet, Joseph Zbukvic, and many more masters of watercolor. If Andrew did it the correct way, we would have knowed him as widely as Alvaro, Joseph, Chen, Amir, etc
@@annabiing2570 I've not heard of those people. I certainly found this tutorial exceptionally helpful, especially the patient approach, beautiful art here, have a nice day😊
@@annabiing2570 There’s only one ‘’correct’’ way and that’s your way! The method you enjoy carrying out which gives you the painting you wanted to paint.
@@northernembersoutdoors1045 it’s such a shame. It’s same as to say I’ve heard “twinkle twinkle little star” but have no idea who Mozart is.
MASTERFUL! This particular session was very powerful to me; things I have never heard. Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your support and encouragement. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you for sharing your experience and ability with us. I look at your videos multiple times and practice what you teach! Please keep these coming. A Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your family!

Thank you! I'm a beginner. Your words and presentation are great. This presentation serves to demystify the process and show me how to actually attain a result. One of the very best presentations I have ever seen on the subject of watercolor. I tend to keep a paper towel nearby. Ha! But I will try not to do that in the future.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks. There are more videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk

Andrew thank you so much ,such an awsome way of teaching ,I have learnt so much .
Thanks for watching. Good luck. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Excellent!
Many thanks.
I am so excited to start this. Thank you thank you. I've watched this first lesson through once and there are so many great tips in this one video! Onward!
Thanks for getting in touch. Glad you like the videos. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
As someone who has never liked working with water color and even struggled with gouche your videos are so helpful! I usually don't like copying paintings but I'm going to continue to do them until I can get the hang of watercolor (might be years LOL) Thank you for the help :)
Happy to help. Thanks for getting in touch. Good luck with your painting. A word of warning though, watercolour can be frustrating at times!
This is simply wonderful. Thank you for the excellent lesson given in such a calm and encouraging manner. I’m going to get my watercolors out again and hopefully get past the frustrations I have encountered! 😊
Thanks for your kind comments. Your support and encouragement is much appreciated. There are more videos on my website: www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you so much for your splendid videos. Your explanations are super helpful and I love your attention to detail, e.g. explaining that you print with the belly of the brush! It looks like you aren’t entirely comfortable in front of the camera, which is why I appreciate it even more that you share your skills and knowledge and give us a chance to learn from you. Thanks so very much. I look forward to watching more of the series. Jacqueline
Many thanks for your kind comments, Jacqueline, they are much appreciated. I’m glad you have found the videos helpful. We are planning more. They are a family affair; my wife does much of the filming and our son edits the film to produce a coherent video. Thanks again for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
One of the best instructional videos I've come across! Thank you! 👍
Glad it was helpful. Thank you. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

Hello Andrew; Happy New Year. I love your previous videos - and you must have read my mind. I look forward to watching, in "slow mo" ;), your technique & commentary here in this beginners series. I've been painting botanicals lately, and this series is just the thing to help me loosen up as I take on some landscapes. Thank you for so generously sharing your expertise. I hope 2023 brings you and yours much joy... Cheers, from beautiful British Columbia, Canada.
Happy new year. Thanks for your support and encouragement, it is much appreciated. Happy painting
You bring simplicity and the essential in your videos. It is with great pleasure that I follow you, from the "confinement".Thanks for starting from some of the fundamentals
Happy and happy artistic new year.

Thanks for your support.
Thanks Andrew, I'm a bit of a beginner and this has been very useful. I have just subscribed and will be watching more!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for your support and encouragement. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Great video! One smell recommendation/request is to explain the 'why' of your recommendations. For example, "Paint top to bottom. This helps to maintain a wet edge" (I assume this is your why), or "Paint from the outside in, because..." While I wouldn't consider myself a beginner, hearing other painters explain the why of their techniques helps me to better connect it with my own experiences and therefore better apply it.
Great suggestion. Thanks. I’ll try to remember to include more explanation in future videos, although I’m sure I have explained my ideas in the other videos. We have made 20 or more. Thanks anyway.
@@AndrewPittArtist Very likely, as I'm new to your videos. It's a shortcoming of video content over text, in my opinion (i.e. having to find the right video and time in the video to find the one bit of info you're looking for).
Just found your channel. I'm a beginner so these videos are really helpful. Thank you.
Glad you like them. Thanks for getting in touch. Happy painting. www.Andrew Pitt.co.uk
