Very nice, Carl. Thank you for the demonstration. The gorgeous transparent color in those trees really popped with the dark values. I have used an erasable black marker (like the ones used on white boards) with a plastic sheet protector to test values on paintings. That way it's re-usable. Watching you make those patterns was so educational for me.
Learning to see in terms of value patterns was the greatest lesson I learned. And I learned it by studying books by great watercolorists. Thank you for the nice comment.
Thank you, Carl this tutorial is really amazing I would never think about it. How the use of plastic and marker can affect my painting, thank you very, very much!!!!
I found this to be a very helpful technique for doing exactly what you wanted to do here. I will definitely be trying it out. I am a huge fan of your work. Thank you so much from a subscriber in Ireland.
I can see exactly why you adjusted the painting. Definitely more “punch” in the lower section. Ending up having your eyes “stare” at the picture more. With a boring film, it’s difficult to watch again…. “Nothing to see here attitude”….., but a great film, you can watch over and over without becoming bored. With this picture……. having made the adjustments, I want to “eyeball” the scene over and over. Thank you for the video 🔥😎🥰
I thought the painting looked good left alone. The dark added, took away from the beautiful fall trees in the background and it created a line. Maybe a mixture of midtone and dark, so a line is not created.
Extremely helpful, especially talking through your thought pattern with color choices. Makes workshop more doable. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
terrific tutorials. You work inspires my watercolor paintings1 Thanks a million!
You are so welcome! I have learned from so many, it is a joy to give back.

Mind blowing Job 🙏 may God bless you always, stay happy and healthy always 🙏🙏♥️
Thank you so much for those kind words.
good idea. you could take a picture of your painting with the plastic wrap pattern.
Great idea!
A piece of glass also works very well.
I would imagine so. I usually ust see it in my head and then watch it grow.
