That painting looks exactly like some rural areas in Finland around new year, so the fireworks kind of suited well for me :D Thanks for the very inspiring video!

Wonderful, thank you!

Thanks so much

[@blancadegracia6711]

Very instructive and useful, thank you very much! Velázquez was the old master of the limited palette, very much appreciated by some artist of all times.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks very much. I believe he occasionally used a similar triad.

[@karenhardie291]

Found this very interesting and authentic looking. Thank you for the idea of three colours, I shall try it.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

[@anthonyholden2157]

Nice work Chris .

[@ChrisStephenArt]

@@anthonyholden2157 Thanks Anthony

[@maggie-bethrees8264]

This is so lovely. Thank you. Although I have lived on both the east and west coasts of the US, I am unfamiliar with a sea gate. It seems to be a structure surrounded by open area, so why is it called a gate and what is its purpose? I also must now do some research about the church you mentioned, and that coast. Thank you for your easy narration and the lovely proof of how beautiful a limited palette can be in the right hands.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks Maggie. These gates are in marshes, not so much on the sea. They sometimes appear to be in open land, but usually have a ditch or small wire fence. The church is at Salthouse, Norfolk.

[@pennyclark9079]

Brilliant!!!!!

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks Penny

[@ralphherrick596]

Fantastic work.... thank you

[@ChrisStephenArt]

You’re welcome, Ralph. Glad you liked it

[@deaniecoleholland5551]

Love this style! I just found you. Question, the tubes of paint you showed, once the paint is poured into your wells do they dry like regular watercolors?

[@ChrisStephenArt]

@@deaniecoleholland5551 Thanks very much. The tube paints do dry, I use artist quality paint, they reactivate with a wet brush

[@phreerun1294]

They had a party and didn't invite you! Outrageous 😂😂 great video, thank you.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

I know, absolutely outrageous!! To be honest, I’m happier painting in the warm 😂😂

[@phreerun1294]

Maybe a firework scene as a painting idea 😂😂

[@ChrisStephenArt]

@@phreerun1294 Great idea 😂😂

[@sniperwipers]

Superb.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks so much

[@jamesduncan578]

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching

[@amysunshine1159]

Is it winsor blue red shade or green shade
Beautiful work
Thx

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks very much. It’s red shade

[@robfielding100]

Knowing when to stop and having the courage to use only 3 colours … 😊

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks Rob. Knowing when to stop can occasionally be tricky. Using three colours can make things easier !!

[@KiyoNanni]

Very interesting to use just 3 colors.,Are you painting on dry watercolor cold pressed paper or did you wet the paper first before dropping colors on the paper?

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thank you. I wet the paper with a mist bottle before starting the first wash

[@KiyoNanni]

Thank you for your immediate reply. I love your art and clear instructions!

[@ChrisStephenArt]

You’re welcome. Glad you like the videos

[@pollylemelin5600]

[@ChrisStephenArt]

@@pollylemelin5600 Thank you

[@lventer165]

Now I know I will never be able to paint anything beautiful

[@ChrisStephenArt]

I disagree. Everyone can paint something beautiful, it just takes time and practice

[@jvisser4848]

I think that about myself. But I will try lots of practice anyway. I think I will improve. And I am sure it will teach me a lot about accepting feel frustrated but also keeping at it.

[@pjlewisful]

Love the idea of using only 3 colors and I thank you for your video but the picture, to me, is a bit depressing. Sorry.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

No need to apologise, each to their own. Thanks for watching 😊

[@michalnanny1098]

I also find it sad but that's why I like it. It evokes emotions. I painted the same scene today, using only P.blue and B.Sienna, and I'm very happy with the result. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@ChrisStephenArt]

@ It’s interesting that some people find certain images either uplifting or sad. Personally, I enjoy the winter and painting snow scenes. Glad you liked the video, Michal
