You're one of the very few artists on UA-cam who actually teach really well. All your videos are great, and I particularly appreciate this series! Thank you for your work.
I binged all 4 of your videos in this series in a single sitting! You're an incredible teacher, and you've given me so much courage to pursue my landscape painting dreams. I'm also absolutely in love with your style of watercolour - the paintings have a tranquil beauty that's truly captivating. Thank you so much ❤
Your videos have absolutely changed my idea that I would never be able to paint with watercolor! You are very good at making your viewers feel confident in this difficult medium! I have been struggling for three years trying to understand what I was watching. Thank you for offering your talent to people like me. I appreciate you!!
I’m finding your videos really helpful in my new watercolour journey. Breaking the process down and explaining techniques in a simple way is extremely useful. Thanks!
Love this series, Oliver, I'm excited you've released another episode. I've begun working towards being able to paint all the lights in a single big wet-in-wet wash, but just as you said, it's challenging and even stressful, especially if there are a lot of hue changes and lights to preserve. I love that you're offering a less stressful way to work up to that goal as skills gradually develop. And I've heard no other instructors teach your "single edge" key principle, and it's briliiant. Thank you!
As always some revelations and aha moments in there for me. I didn't really understand Peter Cronin's approach to washes and now I get it. I really appreciate your clear, concise explanations. Thank you!
I really struggle with how to approach a landscape scene. What to paint first and how to paint it. Thses videos have been so helpful, cant wait for the next instalment. Thank you for taking the time to share.
It’s great to see your process in stages. For my own paintings, I must admit to being impatient and I don’t like to see unresolved issues. This is perhaps the greatest lesson that I need to learn! I am painting along, by the way and will add the next wash tomorrow.
Really enjoying this series of tutorials Oliver - thank you so much! It is very useful to be encouraged to slow down and consider - I have been painting for a few years now and have learned a great deal from other UA-cam tutors. I feel I am ready for a little more now and is is it.
Thanks Olly 👍🏼 Was actually really helpful to see the whole process including what I’ve heard is called the “ugly stage”. Ugly stage can be so off putting. 👌🏼
This is great Ollie! I, too, have been trying to get all the lights done in one large wash and it can be so very stressful/mistake ridden. This approach shows me that I can achieve the same fresh result in a more relaxed way.
Keep. in mind that this isn't a paint-along series. It aims to give an insight into how to manage edges and plan washes across any painting, although there is no harm in replicating the scene here to practice some of these skills.
Thanks Oliver, really appreciate your step by step approach, will we see the finished videos and when is your book available, might be a nice Xmas present to myself 😀
Dear Oliver. What a pleasure to have your lessons, are you also on Patreon??? Thank you for the great teachings. I also live very much your paintings. Blessings 😊
Thank you for the videos that only talk about watercolors. Here in the northern land of Santa Claus, there may be more than a meter of snow and really snowy trees. Do you ever paint like this?
A very timely lesson as I just received a river photo from a friend which I plan to render in watercolor. Have you ever incorporated liquid ink into a watercolor painting?
Thx Paul - I'll take a look. I find the aquafine synthetics get the job done perfectly for this, although I don't do much lifting out if I can help it.
The painting is gradually unfolding. My drawing is not being helpful to lightly painting the right hand side, but I have decided to press on until I get to the end, then do another painting of this photo with many more “skills” I my fingers.
Is it ultramarine or French ultramarine?? I just came to know last week tht one is green shade and other is red shade. Does it really make difference??? I hv ultramarine
@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442 thanks. When it said ultramarine Green shade in a watercolor book I thought it can't be used fr the skies...a Thx fr ur response
Good morning ! Great way to start my sunday. Thanks for another great lesson. Look forward to the next and will your book be available on Amazon. ? I live in Australia.

You’re a true fine artist Oliver. Thank you so much for your precise instruction.
Another great lesson! I love this series….so helpful. Your teaching ability and style - like no other! 🌸
You're a fantastic artist and teacher.

And I've heard no other instructors teach your "single edge" key principle, and it's briliiant. Thank you!
thanks Juliette - yes, the single edge idea is helpful to keep in mind for most occasions in a painting
Enjoyed the demonstration and discussion. Thanks for posting this series on planning and executing watercolor washes.
I am enjoying this series immensely!
As always some revelations and aha moments in there for me. I didn't really understand Peter Cronin's approach to washes and now I get it. I really appreciate your clear, concise explanations. Thank you!
Thank you Oliver. I am thoroughly enjoying this process.

Thank You Ollie, I've been enjoying your videos and learning. I have to really structure my time at home because I just want to paint all the time!
This is exactly what I needed - loving this series so much and feel like I’ve learned so very much to help elevate my paintings!
I love your videos so much! Thanks Ollie!
Absolutely brilliant. I love these sessions. I am learning g so much! Thank you!
I feel more confident now, thank you so much!
Thanks Olly 👍🏼 Was actually really helpful to see the whole process including what I’ve heard is called the “ugly stage”. Ugly stage can be so off putting. 👌🏼
Thank you, Maestro. Can't wait for the next lesson!
Thank you for your generosity in sharing so much.

Thank you for sharing, it was very useful!
I am learning so much from this series thank you so much
Been looking forward to this all morning here in NZ..
Thank you for this next episode/lesson. I’m learning so much.
Vamoooos! Gracias Maestro! Esperando con ansiedad
¡Tanto que aprender de un gran maestro!
Very, very helpful. Thank you so much!
i love it to learn in this way, thank you!!!
Thank you for another great lesson!
wonderful demo thank you!
I am happy that I can now continue with my painting that has been sitting on my desk for 2 weeks.
Keep. in mind that this isn't a paint-along series. It aims to give an insight into how to manage edges and plan washes across any painting, although there is no harm in replicating the scene here to practice some of these skills.
I’m painting along too, I think I will remember the lessons more if I participate and hold back my urge to see a finished painting.
Thanks Oliver, really appreciate your step by step approach, will we see the finished videos and when is your book available, might be a nice Xmas present to myself 😀

Brilliant series Oliver, thanks for sharing. Please tell me why you have put masking tape down the two sides?
This is soooo helpful! Thx
Good morning from Australia
Morning!
Thank you for the videos that only talk about watercolors. Here in the northern land of Santa Claus, there may be more than a meter of snow and really snowy trees. Do you ever paint like this?
A very timely lesson as I just received a river photo from a friend which I plan to render in watercolor. Have you ever incorporated liquid ink into a watercolor painting?
Nice video. Rosemary and Co make something called 'the eradicator brush' - its perfect for pulling out paint, worth taking a look.
Thx Paul - I'll take a look. I find the aquafine synthetics get the job done perfectly for this, although I don't do much lifting out if I can help it.
The painting is gradually unfolding. My drawing is not being helpful to lightly painting the right hand side, but I have decided to press on until I get to the end, then do another painting of this photo with many more “skills” I my fingers.
I don't have to do my wet into wet washes in one go? mind blowing
Thank you
Thankyou Sir 🙏
Thanks.
Is it ultramarine or French ultramarine??
I just came to know last week tht one is green shade and other is red shade.
Does it really make difference???
I hv ultramarine
I use French Ultramarine, which is Daler Rowney's product - it makes very little difference. One is slightly warmer than the other.
@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442 thanks.
When it said ultramarine Green shade in a watercolor book
I thought it can't be used fr the skies...a
Thx fr ur response
Good morning ! Great way to start my sunday. Thanks for another great lesson. Look forward to the next and will your book be available on Amazon. ? I live in Australia.
It will in due course, yes.
🐨👍
I'd your book launch been put back oliver
It looks that way unfortunately - Middle East shipping delays, but waiting to hear more.
