Advancing with Watercolor: Shape and a Center of Interest - Norte Dame
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- This is a video done as a supplement to a watercolor class taught by Gary Tucker in Boston. This is the second of a series of 8 lessons that will use various scenes of Paris as a motif. The lessons will focus on design , in particular visualizing a center of interest and using this as a means to compose the painting. In this lesson I talk about using shape to compliment your area of interest and where best to locate this center of interest Technically we will be focusing on graded washes in all sorts of applications. In this exercise you will notice how they work to create luminosity in the final painting.
This painting utilizes and underpainting of yellow ochre with smaller amounts of cad red and cobalt blue. The darker washes are created by various mixtures of Burnt sienna and ultramarine blue.

You are a great teacher, Gary. You explain everything so well. I have been watching all your videos and still learn something every time. Thank you so much!
That painting is great. Thanks for sharing the info about that book and those composition ideas. Very interesting.
Thank you Gary. A lovely painting. In all your work I've noticed (and learned) the importance of lights and darks to guide the viewers eye. The book sounds interesting.
Very informative, especially about composition stems... something I knew intuitively but had not stopped to consider. I really like the way you manipulate tone and contrast to give light and emphasis to the subject.
Wonderful lessons in each video, whether it’s composition, tonal values, simplifying a subject or defining a focus, it’s very informative!
Thank you Gary tools of the masters and you are one.

Great job,
Thank you! Cheers!
I couldn't find a book with that title, did you mean Edgar Payne: Composition of Outdoor painting?
It's the same book published under a different title.
Thank you for the superb videos. I find them very helpful in trying to get to grips with the medium of watercolour.
Frustratingly, I can not find the book that you refer to. Could you please confirm the title and the isbn number if possible?
Is 'Edgar Payne the Scenic Journey by Scott A Shields and Patricia Trenton'
the same book under a different name in the UK perhaps?
Best wishes

Great demonstration and very useful comments 👍
I like the composition and the subtle tonal values of the buildings a lot, but to my taste the darks of the traffic lights and posts are too strong and suck in too much attention.
The foreground is not the best, yes the background looks good.
No one watercolours here in America anymore. That is a shame so many artist have release the discipline of plein air art work. When those continue to paint indoors. You ruin in for the rest of us. We catch hell.
