I watch you mostly on my big screen and can’t comment there, so even though it doesn’t show that I watched the entire video here I did watch it entirely on the TV! I love the dry on dry since I’ve been painting a lot of landscapes with lakes or seas. Thank you for this quick tutorial! I’m a big fan of yours and wish I had the opportunity to have been one of your students! 🥰😁
I went to 2 Graham Flatt workshops in Revelstoke British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 I am considered an artist using a controlled chaos method. Whenever there is a plane change ...there must be a value change 😊😊😊
Hey Rusty! It's good to see you on UA-cam. You have such a nice touch with watercolor, and I've always admired your work and technique. On a related topic, your piece for the exhibition at Christ Cathedral in Salina is beautiful. I was hoping to see you in person at the opening, but maybe that'll happen sometime soon!
Hi Pam, Good to hear from you. Yep, I'm trying to become a UA-camr for my retirement gig in a few years. I have a long ways to go. I am gaining some traction for only a month and a half posting to my channel. We couldn't make it back for the reception. Hopefully in a few years we'll be closer to home and be able to go to such wing-dings. I'm glad you liked my piece.
I have a question: how do you get so much paint into the tin mixing tray? Is a certain kind of brush better for this? For me the paint seems to stay in the brush and not get on the tray in sufficient quantities
I wet down the paints in the pan or the palette to soften them up before painting. No special brush... flat, round or mops do just fine. I just dip it in the wetted paint, swirl in on the palette then add water to whatever amount and consistency that is needed. Just keep going back and forth between the pigment and the water to get the amount and the consistency. Big areas needing coverage require a big puddle of water/pigment at whatever consistency. The initial wash is typically at a "tea" consistency and will dry lighter than it looks when applied wet. Do your initial wet on wet blocking washes with a big brush. It should go on fast and loose. Does this info help? Have fun.
@prof_nelson Thank you! I will try it this way. I really appreciate your videos. I've learned how to paint in watercolor pretty much exclusively from UA-cam and trial/error so there are all sorts of gaps in my knowledge
I have, but not usually. I like to be able to flip and rotate and tilt the work when it is in the various stages. It has been a challenge for me to keep the tutorials oriented correctly for the camera. New skill-set being developed, I guess.

I have been learning watercolor since my retirement. I like your explanations and look forward to more videos.
Thanks Debbie, I'll be dropping another video later today.

You're the best!
This was a refresher for me, but it was the best explanation of the four watercolor states that I have seen. I’m eager to see more!
Cool, thanks.😊
Rusty, I wish I had this video when I started watercolor. Your explanation is so clear and easy to follow. Can’t wait to see more videos!
Awesome, thank you! Hey, I like your channel.
Oh man, this video answered so many questions I didn't even know I had. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great explanation for a total amateur like me. Love it
Thanks. We all have to start somewhere and at some time.
❤❤❤ your videos! I am so glad I found your channel.
Glad you like them!
I enjoyed your video, Rusty. It was very clear and useful for me. Thank you so much
Thanks for watching.
Great tutorial and very well explained.
I’ve learned something from this!
Keep on trucking sir.
Thank you sir. I'm glad you liked it.

Yeah, it is a constant battle to rescue some pieces from chaos. That’s the fun.
Brilliant! Thanks.
I hope it helped.
I like the way you' explain. You're a good teacher and a great artist too.
Thank you so much 😀
excellent explanation!
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Any time!
Good video
Glad you enjoyed

Do you stretch your paper?

Rusty, I learned so much from your video. Thank you.
Great, keep watching and dive in and paint some watercolor.@@CherieKelly-g1f

That comes from Joseph Zbukvic’s watercolor book. Great read on watercolor techniques.
