A full-length demonstration of how to paint fresh, loose watercolours, with guidance on drawing, composition and mixing colours.
For information on watercolour courses and free studio notes, visit the website www.andrewpitt.co.uk
30:47 "then stop, and if you think you're gonna get up to mischief, go on with something else," is the most wonderfully British way to express to not fuss or let perfectionism disrupt the process.
I've always been curious about watercolor in part because it's great for fighting perfectionism, the beauty is in letting the paint do what it's going to do, and it allows me to let go and relax a bit. Thank you for these wonderful lessons!
Thanks very much. Glad the video was useful. There are more on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Love the paintings on the wall too.
another great demonstration, thank you
Your work is marvelous Andrew Pitt! Love to watch your videos, I always feel I learn so much from you! Thank you so much! Stay well !
Many thanks for taking the trouble to comment so generously. Much appreciated.
10/11/2021 USA Grandpa Bill: Well sir, it took you 3 minutes 32 seconds into this one video to inspire me to subscribe and then examine the videos you have and finish this one. I feel you are a blessing and I am glad you have put some of your work, thought, methods out here for us to learn. Thank you for being on UA-cam.
Many thanks for your kind message. Enjoy your painting. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Brilliant. Lots of great advice and wonderful painting. Look forward to more of your videos!
Thank you.
Brilliant! Just like being at a live demo, and a real feel of Southwold Harbour.
Thank you for taking the trouble to comment.
Your paintings are absolutely stunning, I’m in awe
Thank you very much!
I love your style! A lot of people just keep repainting areas multiple times and doing endless layers, but you manage to do almost everything in the first layer. It is so true that it keeps it looking fresh! I'm integrating this more into my painting now, and the result looks a lot fresher too :) I especially love how you do your skies. So much flow!
Many thanks for your kind remarks. They are much appreciated. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

I just found your videos. Although Ive learned a lot from watching other videos, your detailed description of your palette and mixing colors is fascinating. I will need to rewatch several times to better appreciate your mixing but I am thrilled t have found you. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you very much. Glad you found the films helpful.
i love the way you describe and explain every thing you do and how you approach the subject.
Thanks. Glad you found it helpful.
Great tutorial Andrew. Really pleased to have found you on UA-cam
Thanks Pamela. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks Andrew. It's great to hear a true English descriptive narration, and a lovely result too.
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Hello Andrew! I just tuned in to your channel and what a delight to learn from you! Thank you for showing me all the steps you take, including how you set up your paints, water, etc. hardly anyone shows this process. And thank you for taking the time to talk through how you use your brush, not to touch all the buildings with the sky color, not to go over areas twice, how to paint elsewhere in the painting so you don’t go back and fiddle with it!
Many thanks for your kind remarks. Much appreciated. If you visit my website www.andrewpitt.co.uk there are more videos and workshop films as well as guidance/studio notes to help fellow painters.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your considerable skills, and knowledge. ❤
Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Wow.., I can walk along there and smell the sea, right inside your painting. Brilliant ambience. 👍nz👍👍
Thank you for your kind comment. Much appreciated.
I think I've learned more about watercolour painting watching 2 or 3 of your videos than all of the other videos/books etc I've looked at. Beautiful work.
Thank you very much.www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I have really enjoyed your demo’s and thank you for sharing your tips, colour mixes and master skill.
Thanks for watching. Your encouragement is much appreciated.
Thank you so much I like the freshness and simplicity of the approach- your technique is amazing yet beginners like me feel they can try your tutorial!
You can do it!
Great demonstration. Riveting and most instructive. Captures the atmosphere of boats, man and water beautifully. Many thanks
Thank you very much for taking the trouble to comment. Much appreciated. Happy painting.
Thank you! You’ve inspired me to paint again. I love the looseness and depth of your color choices, with just suggestions and not “too much.” Knowing when to stop is always hard, but you just made it easier.
Thanks for taking the trouble to comment.
Thanks a lot for your demonstration ! I spent a very plaisant time to paint with you. I love your color choices and the little things that are just suggested. I am a beginner and I've learn a lot of things with you.
Thanks for getting in contact. There are more videos and workshop films available on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I like your watercolor style, thank you for sharing!
Thank you.
Another beautiful masterpiece Andrew. The buildings looked so dark at the beginning but it all came together nicely when you put in the lighter colours around them.
Thanks. The first marks are always the most difficult because any tone looks too dark when compared to the acres of white paper waiting to be painted. But it is important to allow for this by going a bit darker than usual otherwise you end up having to paint everything again and bang goes the freshness.
Fabulous! Thank you! So many wonderful tips!
Thank you.
Another beautiful demo! Your work is fresh and alive. I have lots to think about. Thank you.
Thank you so much. Your comments are much appreciated. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Wonderful!!! Thank you for sharing your talent!
Thank you so much
I enjoyed this immensely. I appreciate your painting philosophy too.
Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to write. Much appreciated.
I've just started painting (age 66) so keen to learn as quick as possible. Your tutorials are great for this, many thanks
Thanks for getting in touch. Glad you have found the videos useful.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful Watercolour demo. The information on your sky was helpful.
Many thanks for your kind comment. Much appreciated.
Great demonstration! I learn so much watching you paint!
Thanks. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Beautiful !!! Thank you so much for recording during the pandemic lockdowns. Your videos are excellent - great camera work !!! And excellent explanations of what you are doing and why you are doing it. Very very helpful !!!!
Thank you very much. There is also a workshop video available via my website www.andrewpitt.co.uk and a new one on skies and colour mixing is coming out shortly.
Fabulous! Love that sky.
Thanks a lot.
What a lovely piece of work with minimum colors and minimum paint.. Wonderful and free flowing.
Thank you. There are more videos on my UA-cam channel.
Thank you so much. Your color palette and color compositions are wonderful. Thanks for sharing your technique. I learned new mixes for the sky from you.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Andrew, your paintings and painting style are becoming endeared to me as a starter. You are quite a prolific painter, and your techniques are oh so relatable to viewers at all artistic levels; thank you sir
Many thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Wonderful! Thank you Andrew.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Watched it from beginning to end!! Thank you Wonderful demonstration !
Thank you. In case you didn’t know, there are more videos on www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I really appreciate that you share your knowledge of paper with your viewers ive learnt so much thank you
Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Sir, You are simply amazing !
Thanks.
Thank you Andrew. I found your videos by following a link about your use of some of Jackson's Watercolour brushes. It's a great help to see painting in action and to be able see the way the colours are mixed and appear on the paper. Very instructive and I have now found a use for that Viridian lurking in the pre-filled set of colours I bought!
Thanks for taking the trouble to comment. There are more videos, workshop films and some studio notes at www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thank you for sharing your work… greatly inspired by it
Many thanks for getting in touch. There are more videos and workshop films at www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I really love your art. Especially skies and clouds
Thanks for getting in touch. Your comments are much appreciated. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for getting in touch. There are more videos and workshop films at www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I really enjoy seeing you walk to work in your art studio! (Thank you to your wife for the filming and your son for his edits!) I don't like Demos where the speaker is invisible. It is really helpful to see how you choose and mix your paint too!
Thank you for teaching! You have an amazing talent! Your instruction gave me some courage to try clouds. I'm pretty happy with how my recent attempt came out!
Many thanks for your kind words. In case you didn’t know there are more videos on www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Brilliant! I greatly value your sage advice and your extremely informative teaching style. I could watch you paint all day! So helpful and inspirational! I love how you paint your skies and I appreciate your attention to detail - while exercising restraint not to overdo it. Where did you get the white frame that holds down your paper? I continue to dread trying to stretch my paper as it invariably buckles! Very frustrating and impedes my motivation to watercolour. Thank you very much for your information to resolve this frustrating problem.
Glad I found your channel. Am so fascinated by how you create the cloudy sky.
Thank you. There are more videos and workshop films at www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Beautiful! I enjoyed watching how you did not overwork any area. I always thoughts sky had to be painted first. Thank you for sharing your processes in this painting.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for getting in contact. There are more videos on my website which may help, www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thanks for the tips and lovely painting.
Glad you like them!
Your way of painting is unconventional, much deviated from what is being taught by most of the prominent artists on UA-cam. You paint every object separately. Interesting .loved it and learnt a lot.
Thanks for getting in touch. I try to paint shapes rather than things. I hadn’t realised my approach was unusual. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Love your looseness. Great work.
Thanks.
Love this painting
Thanks.
marvelous ! No other word ! Many thanks Mr for your respectuosly and over master classed teaching ! I shall follow you.... step by step.
Many thanks. Much appreciated. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing this
Thanks for taking the trouble to get in touch.
I love your videos! Thank you! This is what I have been looking for. When I was younger I was trying to learn to paint watercolor. I could not find a good teacher. I paint with watercolor, but not in your fresh traditional style. THIS is what I have been wanting to learn! Ty
Glad I could help. Thanks for getting in touch; your support and encouragement is much appreciated. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

Thank you Andrew, this will be very helpful. I have much trouble choosing the colour plus mixed colours plus the water volume.

Happy to hear that - thanks for getting in touch.
i can watch you all day, amazing to see it...
Oh, thank you. There is a new series of workshops at www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Brilliant painting and tutorial learning so much from you. Love the idea of painting the sky after beginning with the buildings to attack the large white paper 😳cheers
Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Thanks a million, Andrew!

Thanks.
Thank you for another excellent tutorial.
Glad you liked it. Thank you. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Realy good work 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
Beautiful...inspiring!
Thank you so much. There are more videos on www.andrewpitt.co.uk
I'm trying to copy you and failing but your instructions are fantastic and inspiring. I started with life drawings but your nautical scenes are the way to go. Thanks.
Thanks for getting touch. I expect you have guessed I like painting boats and general marine subjects. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
It's funny. If you just clicked videos and not payed attention to the names or titles, you can still recognize the artist by their pallet arrangement alone. Thank You Andrew. Another great video.
Thanks.
Beautiful artwork!
Thank you. There are more videos on my UA-cam channel.
Another informative demo Andrew. I especially loved your tutorial on the sky. It sort of reminds me of the brilliant watercolor artist Edward Seago.
Many thanks. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Magnifique !
Beautiful!

Many thanks. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Hermoso paisaje. Trataré de imitarlo. Muchas gracias.
Thank you.
This was very exceptional in comparison to many watercolor channels I can’t wait to see more and to see your channel grow!
Thank you very much for your kind comment. The main purpose of these videos is to help students during this pandemic lockdown and maintain their enthusiasm until I can resume ‘’proper face-to-face’’ teaching on residential courses.
@@AndrewPittArtist I think that even when this mess is all done you should continue on and post these. Your 3 camera set up is superior to other channels you are clear and concise, the way you talk about watercolor is why I love the love the medium, I aspire to be the kind of teacher you are. I hope that you and your family stay healthy and safe!
@@tmp0922 Thank you very much indeed for your encouraging words. Much appreciated. Stay safe as well. I have to confess the videos are the product of a family of amateur film makers. My wife does the camera work. My son edits the films. Thanks again for your interest and feedback.
Awesome! You are amazing 😍😍
Thank you so much!!
What a great airy feel to your painting. Really enjoyed your demonstration. :0)
Thank you very much for your kind comment. Much appreciated.
I have been painting about a year now, and understand how difficult watercolour is!
To see you paint like that, is inspirational and I dove back to my little shed at the bottom of my garden.
To copy want you did. Ok it didn't look the same but it was 100% better than my last efforts.
Thanks for the guidance and help...
Loved it! Subscribed
Thank you.
Great sky.
Thanks
Beautiful... 😊 gracias
Thanks
Beautiful! I learn so much from your demonstrations. Can you tell me where I can find a palette like the one you use?
Thanks for your kind words. If you go to my website www.andrewpitt.co.uk you’ll find there are several videos including one on all the painting equipment I use.
Namaste From India. Loved the entire making.
Many thanks. There are more videos and workshops at www.andrewpitt.co.uk Stay safe.
Terrific, thankyou
Thanks. There are more free-to-watch videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Amazing.. your approach is different from other watercolor artists I’ve watched; they say you need to work in 2 or 3 layers at least.
Thanks for getting in touch. I like to keep things simple. Visit www.andrewpitt.co.uk for more videos and the first of a series of workshop lessons. Thanks for your interest.
Your tutorial is awesome,but your easel is beautiful, I have not ever, ever seen one like the one you have ,is beautiful and so meticulous,so clean ,the materials looks like it's so easy to keep it clean ,are you selling this easels ? You probably should!!! They're so spacious!!! Love it zoe, love your accent
Many thanks for your encouraging remarks. There is a 20 minute free-to-watch video at www.andrewpitt.co.uk which gives more information on my painting equipment. There are also more videos and workshop films.
So love your discrimination of the sky... sausages.
Also,I must say thank you for sharing your wonderful lessons. They are just great 👍
Many thanks for getting in touch. Much appreciated.
Lovely... thanks 😎
Thanks for getting in touch. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
Mr. Pitt, I love your style and amazing skills. It would be very helpful if you included a photo of what your are painting in the corner of the screen. I wished all tutors did that. Thank you.
Thanks. My studio paintings are usually done from sketches and memory. Beware of over using photographs. Paint outside as much as possible.
Sir ..I became a fan of your style ❤️
Thanks for getting in touch. Hope you enjoy all the videos. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
@@AndrewPittArtist ofcourse sir.
Excellent tutorial from a highly talented artist. Local to me (Woodbridge), so nice to see local landscapes.what are the brushes you use ?
Thank you. If you go to my website www.andrewpitt.co.uk there are several videos including one on all the painting equipment I use. Thanks for your interest.
