I tend to try to make everything perfect and spend way too long on any given aspect of a painting, so seeing your quick and easy techniques is a big help to me. Thank you so much for demonstrating how easy (and more fun) watercolour painting can be.
Charles thank you so much for sharing your tips and hope to learn some very excellent lessons and tips that has once again. I have got my bushes and my watercolours making painting with some of your wonderful tips so thanks again . Hope to learn more tips from your videos and you are very gifted artist.
As a result of the lockdowns and just going into retirement I decided to turn to try my hand at watercolour painting. I found so many videos on advice which after a while confused me and I started to become disheartened and spent a small fortune until I came across your UA-cam lessons, at last someone who doesn’t confuse me, although being a ‘Londoner’ I can still understand you. May I take this opportunity to thank you for your time and input for people like me who are just trying to keep it together at this time. Thank You.
Thank you Charles for your inspirational tips and you are indeed an excellent artist - good information to make painting easier for us - I am enjoying watching you paint and, of course the jokes too. Thanks very much - Caz.
Charles thank you for your painting tips! You make it so simple. You are a great teacher....There are many Artist but none of them are good teachers. Ordering your book right now. I have been in Art classes for 3 years and no one has showed me these simple tips,which has been intimidating. Thanks again!!!!!!!!
Amazing talent. I was mesmerized watching your quick methods to get the movement and essence of the walking people. And those credit card piles of stones and distant sailboats! You give me courage to experiment. Thank you!
I can't begin to tell you how excited I was to get the notification that you posted a new video!!! Thanks so much for sharing these very helpful tips and techniques with us all... I hope you keep posting videos regularly.. Blessings to you and yours. , Your North Carolina Fan, Stacy Hannon..
Wow! I just bought one of your watercolour books and thought I'd see if you did videos. I am blown away. Thank you so much for sharing. I'm sure I will be learning heaps from you.
You take a difficult medium (for me) and make it look effortless!! You are so relaxing to watch and listen too!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Each time I'm about to give up on watercolors I watch one of your videos. You give me skills and motivation to try again--Thanks you so very much for sharing your talent.
I just wanted to tell you I got one of your books Boats and Harbours . I am in love with it ! I now have so many art projects and the inspiration that this amazing book has given me is more than I expected. Thank you Charles.
Oh my goodness I just discovered you and subscribed. You are an amazing teacher! I think you have convinced me that I might can enjoy watercolor more than I have!! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge with us 💟
I just found you on UA-cam.... love the way you teach! You are making my watercolor and acrylic journey so much easier! I’m having trouble finding the Cotman brushes and the Other ones mentioned.... please make more videos for UA-cam you are wonderful!
Charles Evans I live in the west coast of Oregon so not sure how the money translates to USA $.... I like the four pack of brushes you use. Am working on getting better paints, but practicing your lessons I can watch with the paints I have...they are not great-very chalky looking (artist loft student paint-blah) but they are good for practicing. I have your book Charlie’s tips on my wish list in Amazon (although had new name on amazon) 😊 Love your lessons😊 thank you for posting them on UA-cam.
You are just incredible Sir ! I never ever imagined even in my dream that water colour painting could be so easy. A humble request to you Sir... Please show some easy techniques for drawing roses.. Really you are God gifted...
Most informative, excellent 'talk-through' accompanying the deceptively simple brush strokes. Maybe, with your example, I will have the courage to tackle that blank page with gusto! Thank you.
I also just discovered you Charles. You are a genius! Can’t wait to try your techniques. You make it look so easy. Thanks for saying what brands of paint you use too. Brush brands and sizes would be good to share for us beginners too Charles.
Dear Charles, I have rather successfully scratched sails and stones, however when I used expensive Saunders Waterford paper I failed, the sails didn't get white. Are the papers very different in this respect?
Thank you Charles for the quick answer, I haven't seen Newton's paper here on sale but try to het hold on it. I like the colours you use and your masculine way of painting ;).
Excellent. I don't do water color but I'm sure I can apply these same techniques to my oil painting. I especially liked the way you did rocks. They are always a problem for me.
@@charlesevans7706 Have you painted any flowers? I looked through all your videos & can see many landscapes but no florals. Asking as a beginner like your watercolours & watercolour pencils very much! Thanks.
@@charlesevans7706 Thanks for reply. As an experienced painter ( in all mediums ), could you give a beginner any tips ( have watched your tips & hope to repeat them. ) I‘m hoping to start „flowers“ tutorials.
Hi Charles, Just found you today on UA-cam, and I am hooked! You have a new subscriber, and I would love to see you do more of these watercolor tips and techniques! I am headed back to your channel to watch all of your videos! Hope to see more from you!
Glad to see a new video on the tube. I have your sand paint which comes in quite handy. Also your books on tips for watercolor have also proved themselves valuable. I really enjoy your style. Will you ever do workshops in USA? Thanks, Charles.
Impressive how you follow in the footsteps of the classical masters,and one of my favorite subjects from mythology,ah beauty,this is a true talent considering you are using traditional methods,more than one person could be fooled into thinking this was ages old from the time it was painted. recommend my favorite artists Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Frida Kahlo, Roberto Matta Gabino amaya cacho and Pablo Picasso. Thank you in advance!
Thank you for the tutorial! I enjoyed it very much especially when you used the credit card techniques! Do you use any type of fixative to seal your watercolours?
Just watched this and part one - thanks for sharing your tips and especially your color palette. Why are so many great watercolorists located in England, hey?
Thank you. Interesting. Wish I could have heard more. You were clear when facing us, but even with my relatively new Mac, I couldn't hear when you turned away.
Charles I love your tips and tricks! It's been over a year now will you be doing any more videos? It would be so nice to see more videos of you painting! No need for videographer just put a camera on a tripod and paint put some soft music in the background! You make painting seem so easy!
thank you charles over the weekend i tried many times to do rocks ,after seeing your tip with the card i have done my best work yet . now to try the people tip . the only thing i am finding is the paint i am using is not the same as yours so when you are mixing i am having trouble getting the same blend as you .
Thank,you kindly sir. I have needed this inspiration to start painting again. You’re a pure artist and the art flows from your hands.
I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it.

Dear Charles, I have rather successfully scratched sails and stones, however when I used expensive Saunders Waterford paper I failed, the sails didn't get white. Are the papers very different in this respect?
smokey almond there are big differences in paper, that's why I use this 140lb Winsor and Newton paper.
Thank you Charles for the quick answer, I haven't seen Newton's paper here on sale but try to het hold on it. I like the colours you use and your masculine way of painting ;).
smokey almond thank you very much, have a look in my eshop
Excellent. I don't do water color but I'm sure I can apply these same techniques to my oil painting. I especially liked the way you did rocks. They are always a problem for me.
Joyce Knake thank you very much. Yes the rocks work the same in oil and acrylic.
