Advancing with Watercolor: "Monday Morning, NYC" painting a busy street scene
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- The painting we create today is a busy urban scene but it is organized around contrast and a center of interest
In this painting we develop the idea which began with a painting on location in New York City. The painting was built around The Maritime Monument in Columbus Circle - the gateway to Central Park. The design is built around the hustle and bustle of pedestrians in front of the monument. Food carts, Dog walkers, and workers converge to create the energy of the New York Streets We use graded washes to create luminosity in the shadows, we simplify the background to a few shapes and they to give them feeling with brushwork
we use figures through out the scene to create the fun of NYC

Merci beaucoup
Love your style and the way you explain your process. Thank you!
Exceptionally beautiful.
Awesome work
Many thanks to you, professor, for posting such wonderful videos, I cannot tear myself away from them. As a beginner, your lessons help me more and more to gain an understanding of the secrets of watercolor painting.
I can always distinguish your work with the long shadows and, of course the dogs..nice piece gary
you prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother recently =)
@Phillip Rex yup, I've been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)
Really excellent! What I loved was how you composed this painting, the dark foreground pulls you into the main subject and the background substantiates the subject more into the viewer’s eyes. A true marvel in composition!

What a great demo! Really enjoyed this one, Thank you so much, I love how things look a bit strange half way through but how it all comes together beautifully towards the end! And the final artwork is just fantastic, I absolutely love your loose and highly expressive style, bravo!👏👏
Thank you Ernesto - this is a place I have come to know through many paintings - I notice now I can be more expressive with the media
Thank you Gary. Washington square by any chance? Today I learned two things: THINK about every brushstroke, about what I want to see before I move in. Very timely as I’m in the middle of a landscape. Secondly, the 'blob people' . Your blobs seem to miraculously turn into people walking, selling pretzels etc. I must try it out. The dogs were amazing, as I thought the first shape was no way going to be a dog. It was.
I was given a book on J.S. Sargent for Xmas - I see the inspiration in every painting you do.
Barbara - Thanks for the kind words The blob technique is a great way to place groups of figures :)- this is Columbus Circle by the way - the west entrance to the park
Thx Anupam - Exactly what I was trying to get across!
Beautiful work, Greetings From Sydney Australia 🎨👍
Thanks Tez- Australia has really led the way in watercolor in recent years
@@GaryTuckerArtist Thanks Gary, Happy painting 🎨👍
Why didn’t spraying water across everything cause blooms?
My guess: It is done when the surface is still very moist. Can't do it once it has lost the shine. If it is merely glossy you'd get blooms.
