I absolutely love Charles Evans sand colour, I bought 2 tubes, and it lasts for ages. Such a versatile colour. I don't understand people who moan on these videos, we're getting free art classes for Pete's sake. Thanks again Charles for excellent content.
Jesmond Dene is about 3 miles from my Grandma's childhood home. I enjoyed painting this today. There's a lot of great techniques packed into this one. Many thanks.
Many thanks again. With all the detail that you show us for free you have all the right to sell your sand, your books, the paper, anything! Keep safe and healthy
Dear Charles thank you for all you have taught me I have been in lock down for a long time and your teaching let me excape t For houses at a time you are a genius .thank you so much
Hi Charles you have a brilliant talking voice very clear love your art I'm from Queensland Australia born Sunderland England proud to watch and learn from U inspirational
Thank you Charles. Another absolute gem of a tutorial. Your generosity of time and talent sharing is greatly appreciated. Your voice is good and strong, no problem at all.
Another great demonstration Charles thanks once again. I know Jesmond Dene well as I’m from that part of the world so this is one il take a bit of care with. I did chuckle when Newcastle nearly became a suburb of London. Much appreciated Charles, stay safe and thanks for the help and inspiration. George
Evening Charles, Another lovely tutorial full of excellent tips and techniques, loved your comments regarding the sand, smashing colour wouldn’t be without it, I mean what do people expect for goodness sake, free videos and people still snipe, beggars belief, keep on promoting your paint etc it’s all fabulous
I so appreciate how few brushes you use and how many ways you use them! More techniques and fewer materials makes it more affordable, and more interesting. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You are so much fun to watch.
Hi young Charlie, Looking good, looking good! My you have a steady hand. I look at mine and never sure if it’s my eyes wobbling or my hands wobbling. Handy for when I’m drawing in the water bits ... Cheers from down under. Still enjoy your company. Just wish I could shout you a round down the local. Be safe and keep being you...Let the odd moaner catch up as they will or not. You’re a good man. 👍❤️👍
Charles, Gail, thanks so much! Your videos are wonderful and very, very good teaching videos. Please don’t listen to those negative comments… they need to keep still and stop watching if they are bothered! Your sand is a lovely color! I want to order some and will be getting your new book! PS Your voice is soothing, relaxing and very well suited to teaching! Thanks, once again!
Very nice and quick too. The silhouette is so effective against such a sky. I mentioned to my wife just yesterday that these brushes were really holding up well. I had bought your four brush set about 2 years ago and they are great. I use them more in acrylic these days. Thanks for the instructional!
Fantastic tutorial Charles, you made me laugh at the beginning of this tutorial, you explain everything, you are a brilliant teacher,. And a stunning painting at the end, thanks and stay safe,.😘👏😘👏
Great job again Charles and Gail. I took up watercolour during lockdown one having been unable to draw a straight line with the aid of a ruler before that. A great deal of my progress and enjoyment is down to your videos. Thank you very much indeed.
What a fabulous demonstration once again Sir. You are such an inspiration. I have learnt so much from you and my watercolours have come on so much thanks to your instructions and easy to follow lessons. Brilliant Charles, thank you for giving me the confidence to have a go.
Hi, such a beautiful painting as usual, I just love the way you show us how to mix the colours, I’ve now bought three of your books, and I think I’ve watched most of your videos , thank you so much. Annette 😘👍
Dear Charles. Yet again a fantastic video. Wish I had you as an art teacher in school maybe then would not have waited until 58 to start up painting. You do make this look so very very easy. Thanks once again for the demos and inspiration to do these paintings
Hiya Charles ,it always amuses me why people bother to watch n moan :) . Of course you are going to advertise your products ,we all have to earn a living .I love the way you teach and paint ,don`t ever change :)
If you think Charles speaks too fast, in too deep a tone, follow via the transcript. Pitch, tone, speed and everything else with Charlie’s video are perfect in my opinion. Thanks for sharing your talent Charles; we appreciate your kind help!
You videos are awesome and a gift for people like me who are learning to paint with watercolour. I don’t miss any of your videos . THANK YOU . I hail from India
i have learnt so much from charles its beyond my comprehension why people think they can pass personel comments,,ignore the rude people,dont change,its always excellent
You simplify watercolour painting more than any other teacher on UA-cam and I am grateful for that because I would struggle a lot watching the other videos before I found you. Thanks a tonne for the videos, shine bright! Loads of love from India. :)
Thanks greatly Charles another amazing painting so inspirational the technique making it such an enjoyable video to watch, I've always liked your calming approach to create amazing pictures. Greatly appreciating your tutorials stay safe and healthy
Hi Charles I'm from Queensland down under I was born Sunderland England I love watching U paint inspirational brilliant I'm going watercolour art classes iv learnt so much from U thanku
I’m new to watercolour Charles; really glad I came across you - I come from the North East, but live in Berlin, so it’s especially great to hear you and you are excellent to watch. Many thanks!
I am so glad you show how to do the sketching as a beginner my confidence in painting took off when I realized from your tutorials that once the sketch was done the painting becomes the easy part I am having fun 😊
Thank you Charles. Beautiful painting. Wonderfully presented and explained in your awesome voice and accent. What u did with the credit card was awesome. Stay well, from America.🤗
Wow. That person better never go to Southern New England. We speak like a bobsled run. The longer we chat the faster we get. Thanks Charlie and Gail. I truly cherish your wonderful tutorials. ❤
Hi Charles. Another wonderful painting, and your voice is perfect. I have a hearing impairment, and I can hear you very well. I love that scene. Thanks to you for your wonderful talent as an artist and to your lovely Gail for her wonderful camera work . ❤️
Charles, I love your videos, I've started with watercolor painting recently and has helped me to quickly pick so much knowledge, also your British humor is hilarious. 😅
Lovely. I’m from and still live in the north east and used to be in a running club that ran in Jesmond Dene! Might have to give this one a go. Thank you 👏
I recently bought two brushes (a round + rigger) from you Charlie, they are brilliant, along with the 'sand' which is so versatile and perfect for creating mist.
I'm from Brazil my name is Marcia I love your drawings and even your paintings and since now I'm following you on cal on youtube you are a magnificent painter with pencil and a great draughtsman Charles Evans you are to be congratulated Kisses
Hi Charles, Well, I love the way you talk! I've been eagerly awaiting a new tutorial from you since the last one. There will always be people that just love to complain...
Ah charles, another awesome painting.....dont know how someone could say you talk too fast, i understand you petfectly, and your voice is very soothing......thank you
Chas., I'm from the U.S.. and I can understand you just fine. I even get the bushy bits and digital art. Tell that lady to go take a hike. On a lighter note, perhaps Gail could buy you a new palette for a Christmas present. I think the existing one is on it's last legs. I enjoy your videos immensely. Thanks
The Langton is really nice... I typically don't even consider pulp paper but I got some with a shipment of other stuff from Jacksons (I live in the US) and it's the best pulp paper I've ever used.
Thank you very kindly. An excellent tutorial, I dont seem to have the art of stippling sorted yet, but hopefully with practice, never used a credit card before, great technique, thank you :)
What a wonderful teacher you are, Charles! This is a gorgeous painting! Oh BTW, I'm in the states and was willing to pay the absolutely ridiculous shipping fee just so I could use your SAND (as well as a few Aquafine colors) and it is well worth it!!! I wouldn't even begin to know how to create a color like that AND I adore the flip top cap in the tube!! Thank you!!! I look forward to your videos. :) God bless!
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. I know the postage at your side is disgraceful. I think they’re trying to discourage people from buying from other countries!
You are very talented Mr. Evans but looking at your palette and the water bucket take away the magic of your art. With all due respect, hope one day you can paint without showing us that bucket. Lets keep the magic of your artistic skills running in our imagination. 🤞
thanks for the great lesson in how 2 ,have you thought of doing talking books for bed time ,your voice is so calming many a time i have to pause the UA-cam to take a grandad nap LOL well done Gail and thank you for being his pillar
I’ve not even watched it yet but I know it’ll be a good one! I’ve watched all of your other videos and always get so much from them. My order of your recommended paints, brushes and paper is currently in my basket of your website! Hope you work on commission! Haha!
@@charlesevans7706 I am indeed! Incidentally, I was the one you replied to about how to mix sand colour (it was in your lovely Boulmer video), I never in fact stated that I didn’t want to purchase it, I merely was asking from an educational point of view. I’m very new to watercolour you see and still learning about mixing colours and was asking for your expert advice. I never asked for the precise recipe (which I completely understand why you wouldn’t give out by the way), more of just a guide. Perhaps I wasn’t being specific enough…
Hi from across the pond Charlie! I always enjoy your tutorials. Your voice is fine! Love the accent. You seem so easy going that it is a joy to watch and learn. What kind of sketchbooks/watercolor sketch books do you use? I recently bought your watercolor pencil book and I am enjoying it. My biggest challenge is not having the same materials that you do. I am always improvising, but that is okay. We use what we have. Great job and you really must introduce Gail some time. Maybe an interview?
For those to lazy to buy or make their own color sand, tell them it’s in your pocketbook. By the way I love it when you’re sassy! That’s how we do it here in Louisiana!
Great video Charles been admitted to hospital just before Xmas wi covid .19 flu and emphysema flair up mi partner fetched mi Bag up wi a Cotham travel paint box going to hav a gu your video are the best treatment I've had although the staff are great here have a gud unit Xmas keep doing th video
Evening charles can you please tell me your eight colour you paint with in watercolour please, as im just a. Beginner. 🎨😉👍 Thankyou so much enjoying you paintings 🙏 best wishes Jane 🤗
I spent my evening practicing rocks, trees, and bushes. I found a tip for anyone with smaller hands.. cut the credit card down a bit so you can hold it properly. Makes a ton of difference.. suddenly it worked. The 1 inch I cut off of it does fun things too, it's a lot more flexible.
I'll have to order some Sand paint from you Charles mate... I tried Sand from the beach but the result was not the same?? ..... It was a bit naff.... ;-) Great videos Charles, keep'em coming, many thanks. Western Australia.
Hey Charles, Many thanks for that great video. I was about to try and paint a very similar scenery in Mediterranean light. I guess your famous Sand (c) will perfectly fit, won’t it? Greetings from France
I was trying to figure out the colors on your palette.. I've got sand, alizarin crimson, burnt sienna, cobalt blue, hookers green, bright red, ultramarine blue, raw umber, yellow ochre, ... and raw sienna but I think that was just because you were unable to get yellow ochre for a while.. did I miss any? Trying to set up a little palette to follow along with you easier. I typically paint florals so my main palette is very different colors, and I have to mix extensively.
Charles I need help. Mine is a hot mess. I think it's my brushes... they all have extremely fine tips for details. Do I need something more blunt for the trees to get that dabbing effect that you do?
@@charlesevans7706 OK, I will see what I can do. I can't get the Aquafine brushes here, but I have some Princeton velvetouch that have the more rounded shape. Thanks.
@@charlesevans7706 I got it.. the velvet touch multimedia brush does the job. Figures after all the money I had spent my brushes were too good lolol. I had to go back to the cheap stuff.
@@waymire01 I read your comment with interest. I've just started and all my bushes and trees look like something a 5 yr old would do. All colours mixing together. Cant get it right. Anyway my round number 8 produces spear like dabs rather than the round ones Charles does! It's a zieler make. What brush did you get and did it make 'round dib and dabs'? It's probably technique but the pointy bit almost seems to be too long and gets in the way.
@@xxrobodave It's a multimedia brush vs a watercolor brush. Make sure it's a standard round and look at images of brands you can get in your area, they are way more blunt than the sharp point typically desired for watercolor. The one I had was a Princeton Velvetouch. I've also got a ProArte Masterstroke that is that rounded shape. The blending is also very touchy depending on your water balance and paper used I've found. Practice on a scrap of the paper you want to paint on (or the back of the paper) for a while first. There is a fine line between a bunch of dots.. a soft blend... and a blob of mush. Definitely a learned skill. I finally got the trees looking good but the arched and tapered bridge is my nemesis, I can't get it drawn properly to save my life.. I had to give up on this one since I can't get a decent screenshot to use as a guide.
Just painted this one twice! First time I did not pay attention to the details to make the bridge going the same angle as the rest of the painting,so it looked awkward. Also the darkest green and the effect with the brush was not happening. My second time was much better! I have painted many pieces from your tutorials and I would love to show them to you. Is there any way, so you can tell me your opinion?
I absolutely love the way you paint and your pictures that you have painted are amazing! And your voice is very relaxing.
Thank you so much.
Another lovely painting. I'm still fascinated by creating rocks using a plastic card.
So pleased you enjoyed it.
I absolutely love Charles Evans sand colour, I bought 2 tubes, and it lasts for ages.

Thanks again Charles for excellent content.
So pleased you enjoyed it. I only mention the moaners just to point out how pathetic they are. They don’t bother me in the least.
@@charlesevans7706 exactly. It's pathetic. Oh and btw, I can't wait for the new acrylic book to come out. 😎
Beautiful painting and lovely video Charles and Gail really enjoyed it !

I'll have to order some Sand paint from you Charles mate... I tried Sand from the beach but the result was not the same?? ..... It was a bit naff.... ;-) Great videos Charles, keep'em coming, many thanks. Western Australia.
I would imagine it would be a bit gritty!!
@@charlesevans7706 Now, that's real Texture painting.... or maybe Collage? ..... Many thanks again mate for your great tutorials.... ;-)
Hey Charles,
Many thanks for that great video. I was about to try and paint a very similar scenery in Mediterranean light.
I guess your famous Sand (c) will perfectly fit, won’t it?
Greetings from France
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. Sand is useful for so many things.
I was trying to figure out the colors on your palette.. I've got sand, alizarin crimson, burnt sienna, cobalt blue, hookers green, bright red, ultramarine blue, raw umber, yellow ochre, ... and raw sienna but I think that was just because you were unable to get yellow ochre for a while.. did I miss any? Trying to set up a little palette to follow along with you easier. I typically paint florals so my main palette is very different colors, and I have to mix extensively.
No, you’ve got them all there.
@@charlesevans7706 Is it hookers green light or dark?
Charles I need help. Mine is a hot mess. I think it's my brushes... they all have extremely fine tips for details. Do I need something more blunt for the trees to get that dabbing effect that you do?
That’s why I use the ones that I use.
@@charlesevans7706 OK, I will see what I can do. I can't get the Aquafine brushes here, but I have some Princeton velvetouch that have the more rounded shape. Thanks.
@@charlesevans7706 I got it.. the velvet touch multimedia brush does the job. Figures after all the money I had spent my brushes were too good lolol. I had to go back to the cheap stuff.
@@waymire01 I read your comment with interest. I've just started and all my bushes and trees look like something a 5 yr old would do. All colours mixing together. Cant get it right. Anyway my round number 8 produces spear like dabs rather than the round ones Charles does! It's a zieler make. What brush did you get and did it make 'round dib and dabs'? It's probably technique but the pointy bit almost seems to be too long and gets in the way.
@@xxrobodave It's a multimedia brush vs a watercolor brush. Make sure it's a standard round and look at images of brands you can get in your area, they are way more blunt than the sharp point typically desired for watercolor. The one I had was a Princeton Velvetouch. I've also got a ProArte Masterstroke that is that rounded shape. The blending is also very touchy depending on your water balance and paper used I've found. Practice on a scrap of the paper you want to paint on (or the back of the paper) for a while first. There is a fine line between a bunch of dots.. a soft blend... and a blob of mush. Definitely a learned skill. I finally got the trees looking good but the arched and tapered bridge is my nemesis, I can't get it drawn properly to save my life.. I had to give up on this one since I can't get a decent screenshot to use as a guide.
Just painted this one twice! First time I did not pay attention to the details to make the bridge going the same angle as the rest of the painting,so it looked awkward. Also the darkest green and the effect with the brush was not happening. My second time was much better! I have painted many pieces from your tutorials and I would love to show them to you. Is there any way, so you can tell me your opinion?
I’m soo pleased you’re enjoying them. Yes send them to my website and I’ll have a look. Or if you’re on twitter.
@@charlesevans7706 thank you so much! You are awesome!
Spettacolo immenso 👏👏👏
Thank you very much.
