Chris, I just want to say thanx for all the great content and teachings. When covid hit I was newly divorced and had retired from playing music. I sat around a lot gaining weight and getting totally bummed out. So I began writing (a love from my past). Then I began drawing again, painting, and sketching. As a kid drawing came so natural. There wasn't anything I couldn't draw. when I tried again things weren't lining up. I was an acrylic artist in my 20's, did it a lot, even sold some art. But I wanted a challenge, something new. So I took on watercolor. Boy oh boy I was not ready for the match. It kicked my butt! The rules were not the same as in acrylic painting. I tried and tried, and nothing good came. So like most I began watching tutorials and practicing. Slowly I learned to control the water, manipulate the bead, whip the brush across the paper with less fight. I would love to email you some of the stuff I did when I began, and stuff after I began watching your videos. Truly, thank you sir. You helped someone so much and you didn't even know you were doing it.
Hi, I am so happy to hear about your journey and that my videos have been a part of it! It is so much fun to paint in watercolor, and I’m sure you will have much success as you keep moving forward! Great to be painting with you and lots more videos on the way 👍😎🍀🥂
Hurt people want to hurt people...it’s sad to see. I’ll never understand it, but it’s seen over and over again. Be sure that it’s definitely no reflection on this video or the artist! Both are amazing!
Thank you Chris for the first part of the video explaining angles and simplifying the drawing. I have not seen anyone do that before and it was extremely helpful. Great fun watching you do your thing.
Painted this one even though I knew it was going to be a bit of a challenge for me. The painting came out fair, but I learned so much. Thank you for sharing g your time and talent!
I love how your brush dances across the paper. It’s like magic. Watching you paint is so calming. One day....if I live long enough I will be able to paint with the confidence you have. Thank for sharing your expertise.
I really enjoyed watching this and I hope to try some things I learned tomorrow. Your humble and friendly way of teaching is so easy to listen to and learn from. Thank you!
I'm an amateur watercolorist so naturally I have MUCH more opinion than skill. :-) One of the things that fascinate me is at the start of these paintings I am thinking...well that's looking pretty crappy and will never work. But by the end I am thinking wow! I wish I knew enough to do that! Amazing! This one is one of my favorites as I love everything about the sea, beach, the birds and animals there. Maybe I am fascinated by it because I live about 500 miles from any ocean. I haven't seen one of your videos that I didn't like...at least by the end :-) Thank you for making them!
Hi Dale, your very welcome and yes....many watercolorists here on our channel including myself relate with your comments! Watercolors really do come together at the last stages of the process often. The more one paints it becomes less bothersome to the artist,.... faith in the process eventually wins over the doubts and fear. Keep the pedal to the metal and Happy Painting!
Thank you so much for sharing your passion and knowledge with us Chris! This is such a great video of your lovely painting. I am going to try the techniques you demonstrated ☺️❤️🙏
Chris, muchas gracias por tus vídeos!. Esta acuarela me gusta en especial porque su acabado es como aterciopelado...me encanta!. He leído en los comentarios que has usado papel arches satinado. Igual ese papel da ese acabado. No dejes de compartir tus vídeos a tiempo real, se aprende mucho contigo. Si la traducción estuviese también en español ya sería formidable. Gracias por tus vídeos! 👏👏👏👏 Saludos desde España ❤
Hi Chris.I just paintung this house with the boat.Normally I am not good to paint houses or landscapes But I would try this.I get a lot of compliments for my painting.And I am surprised about myself. Thank you for your imagine and teaching in the turtorial.
Thanks so much Aruna, I am really glad you are having good success following my art teaching here on UA-cam! Keep up the great work and Happy Painting!
Mr Petri, I just found you and your channel. Oh my! What a blessing! I immediately subscribed! Your gentle, humble way of teaching is a breath of fresh air. Teaching how to see (and then put onto paper) the beautiful subjects, seems to come easily to you. That’s a true compliment, worthy of its recipient. I love your color palette. It’s...well, “refreshing” is the word that comes to mind. While I’d call your style a bit “loose”, it still maintains form, which is a combination that I find lovely. You’re a great encouragement to me, and make me want to believe that I can paint like this, too! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us! Sincerely, Jacqui
I LOVE IT ❤️ , SMALL , CUTE , YET , THE COMPOSITION IS NICE , AUNT TAMS HOUSE IN NANTUCKET , WHERE IT IS COOL , BUT NOT COLD , AND THE RED SNAPPER IS BITING FOR A NICE DINNER , WITH POTATOES O BRIAN , CORNBREAD FRITTERS , AND ICE COLD SARSAPARILLA ❤️
I did it! Yay! I’m so excited and I loved how it turned out! My script liner brush worked well for the thin strokes. I’ve also done some of your flower arrangements and my favourite is the fall bouquet. This was my first scene and to took me through it so well. I’ve learned a lot! Thank you Chris!
Hi Wendy, your very welcome and I’m excited you’re having excellent success with drawing and painting with my methods and techniques. Best wishes always! 🤠
Thank you for this video. Watched the whole thing and tried to paint along with you (pausing often)...As a newbie to watercolour my version is rubbish but I learnt a lot and love how you explain what colours you are mixing to create the colours and which brushes etc. I will definitely have another go and look for more of your videos. Thank you.
Hi Cecilee, thanks for watching and the kind words. Beautiful area on Earth and I will eventually visit! I hope and pray that better weather will prevail there in your homeland. The earth is in a chaotic phase it seems lately. Happy Painting and stay safe Cecilee.
Thanks for saying about the angles of rooftops. I feel dyslexic when it comes to doing it. If I'm drawing buildings in a distance I always get the angle wrong first time around. Will try the acetate. Thanks for the tip.
lovely job Chris, you make it easy - nice tone of voice, calming for us. Is it a consideration to have the ref. photo in view as well? Or at least some of the time..? Thanks for the tutorials - much appreciated
Thanks Chris I gave this one a go today and it came up a treat! Particularly loved learning how to sketch the buildings at the start as drawing is new to me as well as watercolour. Your colours are superb as always and a great goal for me to work towards :)
Hi Mary, your very welcome! I am excited that you're getting really good results with your drawing & painting. Keep up the great work and thanks for watching! :0)
Chris, I really enjoy watching your work and the techniques in which you do it. My question and it comes from this video is what is the brush you are using? I love the style and size of it and it works really well with your pallet.
Sorry I suppose it is obvious but I wanted to check... do you paint with the paper absolutely flat? thank you for all your generosity in teaching. Im very encouraged.
Hi Chris. Thank you so much for making this video and I really appreciate the time you took to help with the drawing part of this. Will you please tell me the name of the book you have used for the composition? I would love to purchase the book for myself.
Hi Kathryn, it’s one of Edgar Whitney’s books, I apologize …..I lent my Whitney books to my brother who is painting lately… so I’m not sure what book it is… I think he made 2-3 books ???
I really appreciate this instruction. One thing that would be helpful is if you could have a little inset with the original piece that you're working from so we can see how you're creating the work from the original.
I love watercolor. Have you or any here come across the notion that watercolor artists are not really valued the way oil painters or acrylic artist are. I find watercolor equally hard if not harder to learn and practice. And I think it does require continuous practice.
Am I correct in observing that you rarely (if ever) added water to paint after you initially wet the paint in the pans? Is that characteristic of WC alla prima?
Hi, yes,... it is my techniques that you are aware of,... however Ala Prima is just painting all the way through the painting at one time versus painting multiple glazing's one over the next. Keep up the good work! Happy Painting!
Excellent Chris. One of the best. That pic I shipped to you should be close as I sent it on the 22nd. I put a post here a few days ago but it seems to be missing.
Hi Brian, thanks much! Yes,...your oil painting arrived today and it's absolutely beautiful! It has a really interesting design and soothing warm colors that I enjoy! Thanks so much Brian! You have a great skill with oils! :0)
Did you have a reference photo? I am thinking of trying to paint this scene you have just painted. I really love your use of the colors you chose. It really looks like a real seaside scene. I live on the Mississippi Gulf coast and want to paint it to frame it for my house.. Thank you for this painting.😄😄😄
Thanks for your very interesting & informative video! One suggestion; re: "ANGLES" What you're really talking about is PERSPECTIVE (horizon line, vanishing points, etc) I'm sure that there are loads of UA-cam videos on BASIC PERSPECTIVE. Why not refer to those?
Not a problem, I’m a huge fan of learning about all that you can from any sources you desire! I’m just one artist out of millions! Keep striving for excellence my friend! 👍😎
Thanks Mike, Yes, just instructing on UA-cam right now. I have taught private lessons and small groups a few years back. I may plan some workshops in the near future,...have to see how things develop. Thanks for watching 😀👍
Hi Jim, Your very welcome. The color brands I use approximately 60% Windsor & Newton and 40% Holbein watercolors. Thanks so much for watching and I hope your art is going really well. Happy Painting!
Amazing! This is my favorite of all of yours so far! You mentioned it was on Arches satin paper, is that hot pressed? I’ve never heard of satin before. Thank you for this wonderful demo.
Hi Nancy, thanks so much for the positive feedback....much appreciated. :0) Yes, paper is Arches hot pressed satin finish. It's a gummed block with pink cover sheet. Happy Painting!
Chris, I like what you do, but I have a thought that might prove helpful. If I am a newbie and I cannot see what you are looking at,.........each step of the way,.........I am completely lost before you are 20 minutes into the video. I have no idea what you are measuring because I cannot see it. I have no idea what the shape of the tree is because I cannot see it. I have no way of relating to your explanation if I cannot see the picture in a reasonable size. A thumbnail would be far too small. If it can't be included as you demonstrate, perhaps panning to the painting or picture as each step progresses would help. It's clear that you are a good teacher and that you have a great deal to teach all of us................for that reason, it is a great disservice not to tell you when, why and how things aren't working for us. I enjoy your style and can see what a benefit it would be to follow you. I hope this can be worked out, I want to see more of what you do.
Hi Judith, I appreciate your insightful comments! I will cover your concerns on my next video. I have had comments very similar to yours every once in awhile so it's about time to go over the remedy! Keep a look out for my next video. :0)
Merci, je suis très heureux et chanceux d'être sur UA-cam,... pour pouvoir partager mon art avec vous et tout le monde ici! :0) J'espère que votre art va très bien! Bonne peinture!

Beautifully done. Thank you. ( I like the into music too ).
Intro music I mean.
That is a great drawing you did I would of done it just like you🌝
Really liked this painting except for the fence post which I found intrusive on this quiet scene. Your work is elegantly appealing. Thanks.
It's good that you focus on drawing because most of us have trouble with drawing(as it relates to composing the scene). TY
Thank you. Extremely beautifull

Chris, I really enjoy watching your work and the techniques in which you do it. My question and it comes from this video is what is the brush you are using? I love the style and size of it and it works really well with your pallet.
Hi Gary, I’m using a DaVinci Maestro round travel brush, #5 or #6 👍😎
Chris, are they sable or synthetic? I am beginning to suspect I need brushes that hold more water and paint.
Sorry I suppose it is obvious but I wanted to check... do you paint with the paper absolutely flat? thank you for all your generosity in teaching. Im very encouraged.
