I am a watercolour painter, I looooooooooooooooooove these videos, I could watch them for days,,,oh hang on I have done, its my treat at the end of the day ,, thank you thank you Stephan for sharing
Stefan, great informartion. I have gained so much from all your videos. I may never get back to painting, but I will now have a greater appreciation to the art that i view. This will also help me view nature and create the focal po9int of interest. You are great and have an even greater way to present your knowledge. Thanks.
Stefan excellent lectures..I am listening and watching in the car...I have been going thru each one in order...learning so much...thank you for posting these vids., very kind of you really. I hope one day to attend your class. Best wishes..
in the past 2 days I have been watching every video and in the car I have them playing. right now my art looks like a kid did it, but I have been learning what I can from you and been sharing with everyone I know!
Wonderful stuff, a reminder of the basics. Whether you are a plein air artist, do comics, storyboards, animations or full canvases this will always be my starting point. A very succinct and entertaining lecture.
I want to thank you so much for your insights to light. I am amazed how much I have to learn. I have always wanted to know about drama and how to create it because its what is the heart of great paintings for me. Your demonstrations of lighting mixing colors or removing color to show light have given me the knowledge and confidence to try more creative endeavors. The statement about coloring in the lines really hit home. Thank you so much.
Stefan, I’m working in tightly controlled colored pencil doing portraits of people and animals. I like it but it’s not really what I’m drawn to. I want to paint landscapes in oils. How do I begin? I binge watch your videos! Thank you for creating them and sharing your knowledge. I’m very grateful. Mary
I used to use asphaltum by Gamblin I believe. It's a nice transparent hue. And like you said, you can rub it off to reveal the light areas. Great video. Thanks for sharing it.
Can a central focal point be different from the main subject in the painting? You painted one landscape where you chose the foreground as CFP and made it extremely bright, but the mountain was the way it was seen at that time (normal light in the distance). Also, can CFP be a little off-centered?
I did an art show years ago of large, non-life-size (didn't know rule) portraits, in acrylic, and sketched them in with paint. Took a watercolor class last year, teach says Use pencil to start, then erase after paint is put down, so. Here's a helpful hint though, to erase pencil from a canvas, use those MAGIC ERASER clean up pads, they work great. But, then again, we shouldn't be USING pencil, so.

If you paint in watercolor, You can throw most of this (don't draw it first) straight out of the window.
Can a central focal point be different from the main subject in the painting? You painted one landscape where you chose the foreground as CFP and made it extremely bright, but the mountain was the way it was seen at that time (normal light in the distance). Also, can CFP be a little off-centered?
Yep
