Love your work…details are so great… Please keep your picture upright more of the time…I try to paint along, and it’s best when I can see the picture upright..thanks
Really beautiful piece! This video is full of precious advices. Thank you so much. So happy to have found your UA-cam Channel! Your explanations are very clear. English is not my first language but your calm way of talking makes things easy to understand. I am now a fan of you! Merci!
Thank you so much. I’m glad my English is clear for you. My 8th grade French wouldn’t suffice. Let me know what you would like to see for future tutorials. Thanks for watching.
You are such an amazing artist! I love your tutorials. Your clear, concise, excellent instruction. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge, education and training in watercolor.
I have a small palette with the basic colors. The primary colors, a purple, a couple greens and earth-tones (Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Sepia), white and black (if needed), and Ultramarine and Phthalo-blue.
In the later stage when I’m painting the structure and detail, I’m using a fairly thick mix of paint - cream or butter consistency. If I’m trying to saturate an area with richer color, I do glazes of a thin color, really wet - tea and coffee consistency. At the later stage you don’t want it so wet that the bead of water forms. Mr. Bead is for the first wet on wet stage. Does this help?

Gorgeous contrasting elements of warmth and cool.
Thanks for noticing!
recovering photorealist 🤣 and you watercolor! You are my hero.
Hey thanks Kathy. It took me years to get beyond photorealism. I'm still twitchy about it. Thanks for watching.
beautiful barn! The old wood looks so real the way you layered glazes and lines for the boards.
I like doing those old buildings. I like the glazing process to build complex colors and color modulation. Thanks for watching.
Great work. I also really enjoy painting old barns. This was wonderful to watch
Cool. Yes, they are fun to paint. I hope the tutorial helps.

Thank you! Will do! I was trying different angles to see if it jazzed up the content a bit. Probably not worth the effort. Thanks though.
Upright please!
I enjoyed watching this tutorial. Some good pointers. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!

Such amazing glazing techniques. It was a joy to watch how you went about developing the textures and foliage. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I really enjoy your style of teaching Rusty.
Glad you enjoy it!

Thank you! Cheers!
I enjoyed this video a lot. We have a few rustic barns like that around here. I like your process too.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you so much for taking some of the mystery out of the process!! I am looking forward to trying to apply these lessons and tips myself!
You bet. Give them a try and let me know how they worked out.
Beautiful. I love seeing the effect of the different glazes
Me too! Glazes really create some nice complex colors.
Great instructions. The painting turned out fantastic.
Thanks so much 😊 I love those Raccoons.
Great lesson! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching.
very nice!
Thank you.
Great information in your vid. Thanks. I do agree that the barn is a bit over worked.
Grr... overworking, the bane of my existence. I have to remember to jab myself in the hand to keep from doing it.
This is stunning.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Good 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Please tell us more about which colors you are using
I have a small palette with the basic colors. The primary colors, a purple, a couple greens and earth-tones (Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Sepia), white and black (if needed), and Ultramarine and Phthalo-blue.
How do you know when and how do you determine an amount of water to having your brush in the later stages of the painting
?
In the later stage when I’m painting the structure and detail, I’m using a fairly thick mix of paint - cream or butter consistency. If I’m trying to saturate an area with richer color, I do glazes of a thin color, really wet - tea and coffee consistency. At the later stage you don’t want it so wet that the bead of water forms. Mr. Bead is for the first wet on wet stage. Does this help?
first stage= lemonade stage
Yeah, lemonade... where did that come from?
Hard to watch when the painting is on the side!
Noted, thanks for letting me know.
