I was lucky, so I believe. My work involved a lot of flying, so I stuck with watercolour for years, when I finally started with oils I found a lot of my W/C techniques useful. Good Video, Paul Thanks. MJ
I think patient observation is vital to an artist. Artists of his time were incredibly prolific with their sketches and colour studies done outdoors. 🧡🌱🌿
As soon as I heard you bashing the rule of thirds, I headed over to the subscribe button. Sadly, it had already been used. Here's my rule of thirds: If it looks good to me, then it's perfect. Repeat two more times.
Thank you for another good video. I enjoyed your thoughts at the end about nonsense rules. I teach drawing, among other classes, and there's a lot of conceptual fluffery abound on the internet. I avoid these things and aim for the most simple and efficient path to establishing drawing skill, which on its own is already tricky enough. Being able to see value, for instance, is hard for most people, but it's obviously important, so I focus on it. The Loomis method, on the other hand, or needing to study anatomy, are disposable ideas, not necessary. But I tell my students they're more than welcome to explore these things if they want, if they feel it helps them or it's interesting to them, but that they make the path to drawing expertise harder than it needs to be.
I would like to hear your thoughts on Franklin Carmichael's watercolors and mixed media landscapes. If you don't already know him, he was Canadian landscape painter and I find his approach to skies and shapes fascinating. Don't know if you ever take suggestions like this for a video, but I think you'd have something interesting to say about his work.
I never knew Van Gogh did watercolor. Thank you for the information!

I like to be a rebel so ...lol🖊✏🖍✍🖌🎨📓💙🇨🇦🇺🇲
hahaha! art "rules" are a trigger for you? I never noticed that before... 😆
yes, these silly rules raise my blood pressure, especially the unnecessary rules that might hold some people back from making progress in their art
