This Watercolor was done with a limited palette of 5 colors - listed below - It is a painting developed from the demonstration from last week , building from a tonal idea into a more colorful expression...
I try to describe a few of the strategies I have when using color...
1 - I use a reference but try to not get into a mindset of matching color - rather I think about a colors warmth or coolness and it’s lightness or darkness.
2 - When looking at my motif I identify a major color - or mother color that permeates the scene - in this case burnt sienna, and I let this color permeate the painting through using it extensively in my under painting, and through introducing it into most of my mixtures.
3 - understanding of how paint consistency translates into light and dark - was formed in the tonal painting and carried through to this painting.

You know you see great artist at work, when painting is soooo much more interesting than original reference....thanks for this upload Gary!
I have to say Gary that of all the great watercolourists here on youtube your videos are by far the best instructional teaching ones (sorry other creators, I do love your videos too). Thanks for everything you do Gary and the time you take with these.
Of all the other watercolor youtubers I watch I find watching you the most meditative. A calm voice, and a great lesson in every video. After watching for almost a year now, most of the confidence I have gained in just putting the paint to the paper comes from watching you. Thank you for this. And I will speak for everyone when I say, please do not stop making these videos!
The camera capturing the angle of the painting and the palette is a big help. This video is helpful for the beginner and advanced watercolor painter alike. Thank you Gary.
It was nice to see that you had found the boat repair shop. Not on tourist maps. This was a good video and you made an excellent painting that has the feel of the place. I go there in the winter and I am alone painting. There is less action then, too. Just quiet and maybe one worker over there.
Gary, i am from india and an admirer of your fine art painting. I get lot of inspiration from your work while i play with colours.
And this view with easel and palette is very helpful to understand color mixing, diluting, the importance of gravity, etc. Great Gary!
Your narrative is great..telling us not only how to do certain techniques but also why...so helpful. Thank you!
Yep you are the best watercolorist ever. Love your teaching voice and videos. Thanks once again for all you give us through this venue. I know that I learn so much from them.
Love the Bruins hat!
Bravo Gary! A perfect full colour interpretation of Lo Squero. Magic. Thank you.
The most beautiful thing of watercolor is preserves the light and control the dark and shadows...thanks Gary.
love the colours and the figures in this painting
Love your art, mind and smile 💐
Gary,
Great demo and painting Gary! Thank you for sharing.
A great picture, very nice Gary, your tip about keeping with a big brush to avoid getting bogged down with detail was helpful. Thank you again Gary.
Thank you so much for your videos! You are bringing huge value to the watercolor community here on UA-cam! There is so much to learn from your videos!
I really appreciate the work you have done with these 2 videos. The first was amazing as I really battled to understand tonal value, so thank you. Then to put it together and also with the off really has given me so much information I haven't been able to take it all in. I will be doing a lot of reading and rewatching. Thank you from a new subscriber
thank you. i enjoy your presentations. congratulations
