    I appreciate you calm, logical and methodical approach to painting. I started painting 66 days ago when sheltering in place was mandated. I have watched many, many videos on You Tube. They would show how to paint something (a flower or bird) but, not how to go about painting a picture. With your methodology, I understand the order of doing things and the process of how to do it. I love the format of talking us through the what we are going to do and then demonstrating how to do it. I feel confident and started to paint pictures because of your gentle encouragement. Thank you for sharing with us your knowledge and skill in watercolor. But most of all, thank you for your open heart and kind spirit.

    I'm not going to lie, I worked on this video till 3am this morning... and now I'm back at my day job 😅

      I always do value studies... Helps solve the problem before you paint. I think I picked it up from a Charles Reid book. Sometimes the study is better than the finished piece. Thank you for sharing so generously Eric, this is time consuming but it's so appreciated. Love your paintings too, stay safe. 🙏😀

  • @cherylj.harris4967
    @cherylj.harris4967 3 роки тому +5

    Thank you. The biggest takeaway for me is seeing the photo differently. I'm a detail painter and often get lost in them. Seeing and connecting the big shape is a game change and really makes so much sense. I can't wait to give it a try.

    Eric, by now I've watched almost all of your videos... I learn so much from you even though I've painted for a long time.. we can always learn more. You have a way of explaining that is so easy.
    As for Andy's way of painting, it's certainly wonderful, and I can see you taking some of it to your own work. But I for one don't want to see you change. Thank you for staying up so late to put this out.. and yes I give it some love.

    • @Cafewatercolor
      @Cafewatercolor  4 роки тому

      Thank you Barbra. I think artist evolved their work as they progress. But of course, I won’t just all the sudden change everything that I do. My goal is to eventually develop my style as I learn from the artists I like.
      Glad you enjoy my video ☺️

    Thank you Eric, I have just discovered your videos. I am delighted with the clear and concise instructions that you provide. The most useful tips in this video I think are the value study first, and then connection of the major shapes. Those are my two big takeaways. Now I must put these into practice. Thank you again.

  • @jackiebyers1272
    @jackiebyers1272 4 роки тому +1

    SO informative! It's like making a notan. I'd never heard of a notan until I took a class in soft pastels last year. It's amazing how much it simplifies a painting once you wrap your head around that "map!"

  • @barbaramartenson7814
    @barbaramartenson7814 4 роки тому +1

    Eric, I enjoy watching your watercolor painting tips and examples. I ALSO love Andy and Joseph - two amazing artists. Perhaps the greatest challenge is learning how to "see" - what my own artist father emphasized. Keep up the great information.

    Great tips, Eric! If I can connect shapes by values, my paintings will be much less “rigid”, like they often are. Also, great tip on keeping your pencil on the paper when drawing. I tend to get lost when drawing something with detail because I pick up my pencil too often. And Simplify! Best tip ever. Thanks for a great lesson!

    Hi Eric - I loved this!!!!! I’m sooo glad you worked from value study to colour painting, this is such a valuable learning tool which helps to simplify the painting process - and I love how you went into detail about connecting shapes - I love Andy Evansen’s way of teaching too, lucky you for being able to go to his workshop.... I live in Australia and if it’s impossible to get into one of Joseph Zbukvic’s workshops here then my chances are pretty slim of getting to America for one of Andy’s workshops. You must’ve been pretty excited to get this video out to have stayed up so late... thanks, I really appreciate your efforts.

Your videos are excellent, and I particularly enjoyed this latest effort which is actually not just informative, but also shows how you yourself are growing and learning. Your commentary is right on and keeps the viewer interested, the pacing is just right. I thought 30 minutes would be too long, but it held my attention to the end and that is some achievement. Well done. Perfect follow up from your interview with Andy Evanson.

    @RobertHopkinsArt 4 роки тому

    Great, great video, Eric! Going to your workshop with Andy really paid off for "us". It dawned on me last night, after messing up a simple Chien landscape that I needed to go back to the basics of a large shape, three basic values in my painting (Light -> Middle -> Dark, with details), pre-mix each wash, and "always" do a complete value study. I don't need to do no stinking value study... Wrong! Even the Masters blow through some extra paper by drawing/painting a value study to read their current subject. I now know why I failed in my latest painting. Thanks for this video, Eric!

    That was the best learning experience that I have ever seen on how to use value studies in completing a watercolor painting. Bravo. Well done. By the way, I'm in my late 80's and recently got back to pen and ink sketching and watercolors. I love Urban Sketching, but eye issues-macular degeneration- are a challenge to all my efforts.
