Welcome back, Peter. I would like to suggest a topic, namely, how to deal with moving water (rivers, streams, etc.) I always get messed up dealing with it.
Hi Peter. Great to see you in your new studio and with new videos. I will look forward to more. Sorry to miss you in Yorkshire. I have a whole new appreciation for rock walls now!☺
Love the new intro sequence! You make those highlights look so easy every time. I'm still over here with my white acrylic gouache, but someday, I will perfect them! 😊
Great video Peter. Am I seeing correctly - do you use primarily brushes that do not have a finely pointed tip but are slightly rounded? It looks like your brushwork involves fat washes, hard and soft edges, but not many thin lines. Whatever it is, I like the look!
First time viewer. Really like how you put this one together and I also appreciated the tips you provided. I’ll need to see this one again several times in that I did. To catch all the colors you put together although I can probably figure it out if I try. Again, I enjoyed this one. Thank you for giving it to us. I will subscribe as well.
I realise that this was a sketchbook piece, but this makes me wonder what you would do differently if you were doing the same image as a “proper” artwork… mind you, I’d be ecstatic if I could ever produce something as good as your sketchbook work (I’m only a beginner). I appreciate your teaching style and the way you demonstrate how you practice different aspects/techniques of watercolour. I suppose I am just wondering about how a professional artist differentiates between sketchbook pieces and finished pieces of art…what changes???
Thank you for the comments Felicity - I'm pleased you enjoyed it. In answer to your question... I can only speak for myself, but the distinction I personally make between a 'sketch' and a 'proper artwork' generally boils down to intent. A sketch - in whatever form - has a particular, primary use; that of information gathering, usually in preparation for a more considered, carefully executed piece. A sketch might be made on-site or in the studio; it might be only a simple line drawing, to establish basic forms, or it might be a tonal study, to explore the values within the scene. Either way, I always think of a sketch as being a spontaneous response to a subject, and is generally a little rough around the edges. In its most basic form, a sketch enables me to familiarise myself with the subject as fully as possible before embarking upon a full-blown watercolour. A 'Proper Artwork' is one that I might produce under more controlled conditions, generally in the studio - but not always... occasionally, it might be painted 'en plein air' (on location). Watercolour is quite a fast, spontaneous medium to work in, so it doesn't always come down to the amount of time spent on a painting. Some of my favourite pieces have been produced quite quickly; the truth is, if a painting is on the easel for more than two or three days, it usually means there's something wrong with it and I'm trying to fix it. In summary; a 'proper painting' is one that has had the maximum amount of care and time bestowed upon it, in order to produce what is - hopefully - the best I can do at the time, or in the moment. Those are the pieces that I am the most likely to frame or show in the gallery, and the pieces that I will - naturally - charge the higher prices for. I hope that helps.
@ what a wonderful reply! Thank you so much for taking the time to post such a full response! So, in essence, if you were to do this painting as a piece for a gallery (for example) you would probably just take more time/care so that you could be absolutely sure what you were laying down was going to look how you wanted it to?
More than a rough sketch , you put a lot of work in this. Thanks

Hi Pete I'm new to your site, are there any pen and wash vids?
What pencil did you say you used, was it 2B or not 2B?
We need a tour of the new studio. Do you still use a ladder to get into it. Inquiring minds want to know.
Ha ha!... no ladder... I have a proper staircase now! A tour... maybe - we'll see...
Great video Peter. Am I seeing correctly - do you use primarily brushes that do not have a finely pointed tip but are slightly rounded? It looks like your brushwork involves fat washes, hard and soft edges, but not many thin lines. Whatever it is, I like the look!
They should have beautiful fine points but are starting to get a little tatty (and blunt-looking) in their own age. Thanks for the comment Don.
😀 Apparently, I like tatty brushes! Your watercolors have such a comfortable beauty to them - so easy to soak up.
First time viewer. Really like how you put this one together and I also appreciated the tips you provided. I’ll need to see this one again several times in that I did. To catch all the colors you put together although I can probably figure it out if I try. Again, I enjoyed this one. Thank you for giving it to us. I will subscribe as well.

@@felicitycrowe6971 In essence, that pretty much sums it up, yes.
@ thank you!
