Just bought some gouache I'm aged 77 they seem more versatile than water colours, your paintings have inspired to buy them, unlike a lot of cartoony looking results I've seen elsewhere .it's another medium besides watercolour, acrylics and pastels to try enjoy your videos!
I would love to see someone paint their interpretation of what future scientists may think modern day animals by only looking at their skeletons. Similar to the old Victorian statues of iguanodon. You could write it out as if it was a naturalist's journal.
I just started making maquettes for the animal characters in my book: dogs, a cow, a horse, a pig. When making the armatures, I became convinced that everything starts as a chicken.
Appreciate getting the 'softness' in at the beginning in a watercolor. I'm trying to get 3 facial tones in quickly while doing portraits. Tricky...sometimes.
I recently bought some Lukas aquarelle half pan set... apparently, the Lukas watercolors wasn’t the ones he was using in this video because I tried to do the same exact thing with them, but they don’t have tacky texture like the ones he uses here so, I feel like I waisted money.... what watercolors did he use?
At 1:45 in the video were you sketching/painting at the Royal Ontario Museum? Because the placement of what I think is an allosaurus skeleton and the dromaeosaur looks exactly like the ones at the ROM, as well as the pteranodon overhead.
James do you think that dinasaurs all carried their heavy tails in the air, and were as ferocious as so many are represented in illustrations. My iguanas don't carry their tails around and are mostly vegetarian except around the cat food??
The meat-eaters probably weren't as ferocious as they are often portrayed. Modern predatory animals tend to be patient and strategic or at least opportunistic. The best evidence for tail position is trackways when walking over mud. There are some tail drags, but most dinosaurs held their tails aloft.

James Gurney is my hero; I have both of your books! You always inspire me to get out there in the field.
