Lovely pice of work Grahame. Please come back to Lanzarote and paint the magnificent Timanfaya volcanoes. There are such a beautiful colors there. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the demonstration. I've watched several of them now, and the principles you use are coming into focus. Connecting the shadows is something I've never done, but will try it in my next paintings.
You took a photo that I thought was ho hum and turned it into a fabulous painting! Thanks for showing your skills with watercolor in this demonstration.
Well done Grahame! I see that you are not wetting your paper before starting here. I liked the trick with the white village in the background, how to create an illusion. Thank you!
Great piece, Grahame! It made me smile when my "IN" box indicated a new painting video from you had arrived! I agree with others who have posted... You make everything POP! You are an artist's artist and you teach me so much. This yank in Tennessee very much appreciates your efforts to bring us these inspirational videos.. especially in these testy times. LOVE your art!
I enjoy ALL your paintings!! I love the loose style and the fact that you don't get rung out if something doesn't go just like you wanted. I'm striving for that! I notice that you don't tend to use a lot of splattering for details and texture. What are your thoughts on splattering etc?
My wish has come true! Many thanks Grahame for posting a demo of the last photo that you suggested. It is very helpful. Did you add any Quina Magenta in your clouds? They aren't quite white. Agnès
Thank you Agnès. There is a little quin magenta in there but I didn't really think it helped. My white clouds are never completely white as I always use a wash over all of the sky so there is always some bleed into the cloud areas.
How do you get green by mixing Pthalo blue and burnt sienna? You amaze me with what you can do with a small handful of colors. I'm still using the split primary palette since I read your information months ago. But green from Pthalo blue and burnt sienna? I like the six color palette. I've learned so much about color. Color temperature is a fascinating theory. Thank you for setting me on that path.
It is still to do with the twin primary system. Another blue like Ultramarine would create grey with burnt sienna but because Phthalo blue GS is biased towards green, there is enough yellow in burnt sienna to make a green. Phthalo is so biased towards green that normal yellows mixed with it produce a green that is much too vibrant
Me gusta tu estilo de pintura. Da la sensación de que no está terminada la obra, pero queda genial. Enhorabuena. Envidio a todos los que pintáis así de bien. Yo por más que lo intento no me sale nada bonito.
A wonderful demonstration and reminder to finish the piece, not stop mid way because "it doesn't look like the photo". Thank you for your generosity.

Brilliant. Thanks for uploading

It is so helpful K.B. Making a few large intricate shapes work so much better than many small separated shapes.
You are an excellent narrator and artist. This sketchy style is very exciting!

Thanks for video! Lanzarote is a really good island for artist.

Thank you for your very kind comments Tim.
I thought when you put this photo up it didn't look very interesting. Just to show how wrong I was. You made it inspirational. Thanks again.
Same for me, now I wanna paint it!

Splattering is a good way of creating randomness David. If I think things are getting too fussy a quick splash with the brush usually sorts it out.

@@PaintingWatercolour More color magic. Amazing. Thank you. I'll definitely remember that and your 50% rule.
👍
Wow, the photo of that landscape looks so hot, barren and desolate 🥵🥵🥵 - your painting is certainly an improvement on reality...
You did not show how you made the clouds a bit purplish..You skipped that part. WHY?
I hadn't realised I had edited that part out Dave but the colour was the blue sky colour plus a little quinacridone magenta.

My origins from my dad side if the family.
I've been going there for many years David. It must be great to have a family connection to such a beautiful place.
