Painting an Eye in Watercolor (Fast & Loose Style)

This video depicts me painting an eye in watercolor, in my trademark fast and loose style, from start to finish. All in 6 minutes! Patterned after the style of watercolorist artist Charles Reid, one of my favorite painters. Materials are listed below.
Supplies:
Paper: Canson Montval Watercolor sketchbook, 5.5 x 8.5 in, 140 lbs, Cold Press - Link: www.jdoqocy.co...
Brushes: I use 3 brushes in this video, but only 1 is really needed - the brushes are a Chinese calligraphy brush, a Rosemary & Co travel brush for edge softening, and a W&N Professional pointed round sable #7.
Colors:
DS Monte Amiata Natural Sienna (or you can use Raw Sienna or Yellow Ochre as alternatives) - Link: www.anrdoezrs....
DS Permanent Alizarin Crimson - Link: www.anrdoezrs....
DS Lunar Blue - Link: www.anrdoezrs....
WN Cotman Burnt Sienna - www.kqzyfj.com...

It’s amazing! It seems super easy painted by you 😊. I’m a fan of Monte Amiata. Now I’m curious about DS lunar colours! Bravo 👏 Morrison I loved this tutorial, really brilliant!

[@morrisonwatercolors]

Thanks Elisabetta! I learned about Monte Amiata from Liz Steel. And Lunar Blue from Daniel Smith is one of my all time favorite colors. Ciao! :)

another absolutely stunning piece of art! i just shared a video about how to gain more confidence in your art, and it took me a while to find what materials suited me best. I think watercolour and colour pencil are my favourites now :) Did you always use watercolours?

[@morrisonwatercolors]

Thank you for the kind remarks! Watercolors are my happy place. Usually I paint over pencil drawings, sometimes over ink (tinting). I will try to check out your video about gaining confidence in art. Thank you for letting me know about it. Take care! :)

Sorry but would never call this a tutorial no voice over instructions no brush paint or paper info just lousey music I muted. This is said in hopes you can improve and make some changes that will be more helpful just one opinion. I will say I have had some excellent artist on youtube help me so much not only really good painters but excellent instructors showing not only visually but VERBALLY that walks you thru everything you need to know to be able to paint that picture they happen to be working on and displaying! You could do that too.
It will take about half an hour as in 30 mins not 3 to 6

So sorry you didn’t like the video. Everyone is free to offer their opinion. Thank you for taking the time to post some feedback. Take care and happy painting. 🎨🖌
