    Ross, thanks for posting this video set. As a newcomer to watercolor, for the past 8 months I've scoured the internet and have downloaded about 3,000 pages of tutorials and dozens of videos. Yours is beyond a doubt the best I've ever seen. Your explanation, your style of presentation is nearly flawless. I've learned so much! What I would like to see, however, is a complete recitation of all colors and equipment that you will use as well as a way to download a line drawing. Thanks again!

    Ross, wow! I have seen a lot of tutorials but yours blow them all away. The level of detailed instruction, close up views and examples you give, not only of what you did, but why and how takes your tutorials to a master level of instruction!
    It is not often you find a tutorial by someone with a true gift of teaching and I am deeply grateful to have found yours.
    Thank you sir for sharing your love and skill for painting with us and thank you so much for taking the time to give us a truly useful lesson! I am looking forward to learning as much as I can from you. :)

    I've been doing watercolor for 28 years, but I still found your video refreshing and fun. Since my roots long ago were the New Jersey area, your accent was really fun too! (the words "watah. splattah," and a few others made me giggle a bit. On a serious note, thank you for taking the time and patience with your informative and helpful video for people interested in watercolor basics.

    Hi There! I have never painted before, let alone watercolour!! Was absolutely amazed that i could produce a picture that good. Thank you so much for inspiring me, please make more videos! You are such a good painter, and more especially an exceptional teacher.

  • @carolmelancon
    @carolmelancon 10 років тому +3

    I'm very thankful you have made this complete tutorial available for no charge. Since I'm just getting interested in watercolor painting coming from a calligraphy and crafting background, I find it so inspiring that an artist would share so much information without my having to take a class to see if I want to pursue this. I've learned so much that I feel confident playing with the medium enough to know if I want to invest in classes if my experiments warrant further study.

    • @realisticart

      Hi Carol! That's great news. Hope you enjoy your studies and gain a lot from this beautiful medium. -Ross

    Now, you are an instructor who knows how to teach! I have an art degree and got so tired of professors just putting a brush in my hand and leaving the room. And, even with the profound ADD with which I have struggled for a lifetime, this video is clear, orderly, and step-by-step understandable and easy to follow. Beautiful job. Thanks.

  • @dudediva69
    @dudediva69 11 років тому

    WOW .... that is so Detailed and you work very neat .... i have heard of this technique but had not ever got to take a class and learn it. wet only the area that you are flowing the paint in makes so much sense.
    Also ... i love the CLEAN water from that bottle on your paints ... i do that in face painting and also thought that if you did not and used the water that you clean your brush with it muddies the color .... thank for that tip ... i am excited to learn from you ... a true blessing :)

      realisticart I painted in oils for years and had a good grasp of it but after developing cancer thought I ought to go to something less toxic (w/c). I've tried and tried on my own to get the look you have shown us in your videos and have become frustrated with my lack of success. NOW I know how it's done and I'm so indebted to you. Will be watching for your new releases in the weeks to come.

    The stamen areas are very small, so although it is personal preference, I do prefer to paint tiny areas like this first; then mask them out after they thoroughly dry and paint the adjacent areas. It will work both ways, but I have found my way to be easier. Thanks for your question!

    Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us all! I want to share an idea that I do when silk painting. The process you explained where you cover the already painted and dried parts with masking fluid is one way of batik silk painting. I thought that was neat! Instead of scraping out the red to get the white around the 5 red "dots" at the end of the stamen(?), when you are applying the masking fluid include the white around each one that's already there.
    God Bless!!!

    Your tutorial is amazing! You come through as an individual in love with his art... you make it contagious. I was able to complete the hibiscus following your step-by-step video. The side tips are valuable as well.
    Do you allow a student to post a painting created from your lessons giving you credit for the original?

    you do a great job of explaining...I have trouble figuring out how much water to use on the paper and in the paint.. :(
    thanks so much for putting your videos on youtube..they really really help.

    I'm so glad these videos were the first ones I watched when I started being interested in watercolors - I learned so much!! I really loved these tutorials! Will you ever post more?

      Hi Sara - I will absolutely post more watercolor videos! I have exciting subject matter planned, and I hope you will have a chance to watch and continue to enjoy the painting process. -Ross

    I actually make my own frames for my larger pieces. It is a bit of work, but it's worth it as I feel I have done my best to protect them from damage. I live in a very humid area (at least during the summer), so there is a constant struggle to keep everything protected and dry. Thanks a lot for your feedback and for watching my video!
