    Today I'm showing you how to paint light in watercolor.
    I am painting on Saunders Waterford Cold Press 140lb paper. I have my surface tilted to 35 degrees. I use a variety of brands of brushes. I mainly stick to a large mop, medium round and smaller synthetic brush with a point.
    Here are the list of pigments on my palette:
    Burnt Sienna
    Cadmium Red
    Cadmium Yellow Medium
    Cerulean Blue
    Cobalt Blue
    Cobalt Teal Blue
    Cobalt Turquoise
    Lavender
    Neutral Tint
    Payne's Gray
    Quinacridone Gold
    Raw Sienna
    Raw Sienna Light
    Raw Umber
    Rose Madder Permanent
    Ultramarine Blue
    If you would like to purchase some of the brushes I feature in this video you can take a look at my Amazon Affiliate link: www.amazon.com...

    Wow. That's lovely. I like the way the eye is drawn to the lightest part and there's just enough information for the viewer to make sense of the scene. Also the way you allowed the painting to 'cool off' before going back and adding new elements and tones.

    Thanks a lot, Matthew, for your work! It's so great to find a professional guy who explains all the tricks which makes the hobby successful. Thanks again for spending so much time for producing the video! 👍

    This is one of the best videos I've seen summarizing and demonstrating step by step the process of doing a watercolor painting. It's a plan that helps launch me to start. It might be helpful to do a video just dissecting Step 2, the middle values, and connecting. Thank you, Matt😊

    I know what that urge to 'jump ahead' feels like only too well. Because I usually paint with oils, I'm used to putting in my dark values early in the painting.

    Matthew, your teachings are amazing, I'm starting to paint watercolors almost a year after I retired, and I'm really enjoying it, thank you, who knows, maybe one day I'll be painting about 2% of what you paint. 👏👏👏👏

    I’m going to try a painting using your method again. It works so well for you Matthew. I think I probably wet the sides too much. I notice your first wash doesn’t all merge together like mine does. It’s exasperating. The greens with the greys and blues. Could you tell us just how wet the sides should be? Thanks.

    Question: why did you decide to cover over the light on the road in the foreground?

    Thanks for all your great content. Could you explain what you mean by *connecting* shape and *connecting* values and why this is important to do from the wet edge?

    • @johnytwo
      @johnytwo Місяць тому +2

      You „need“ to include all the middle values in the second wash, so that the painting is nice and clean and connected. So you paint all the values you guestimate to be „middle values“ in one connected wash. The wet edge helps with this, because as long as it is wet, there is not gonna be any visible „connection“, which could happen, if you were not fast enough and the shape dries up and forms a hard edge. For more info see Andy Evansen „value studies“.

    My rule: Add birds when needed :)

  • @kristinelockwood2431
    @kristinelockwood2431 Місяць тому +1

    You make it look easy. I feel like I stop my paintings either with the first wash and they look flat or don’t have the middle values so they don’t look connected between light and dark. The birds, why must there be birds? It doesn’t always add perspective and doesn’t seem real. IMO

    Thank you Matthew. Are you using rough paper?

  • @johnytwo
    @johnytwo Місяць тому +1

    What percentage of your painting time are you squinting?

    • @learntopaintwatercolor
      @learntopaintwatercolor  Місяць тому +1

      Mainly when I'm determining the large middle shape. It's good to step back and squint from time to time to make sure you are simplifying.

    • @johnytwo
      @johnytwo Місяць тому

      @@learntopaintwatercolor That is good. I feel like I need to squint all the time, to prevent myself from painting too much detail. But I paint trees a lot, so that is why maybe.

    How does your paper not crumbling???

    • @stefannorinder2892

      Good question. I also want to know.

    • @johnytwo
      @johnytwo Місяць тому +2

      Because it is wet on both sides ,) Some painters even wet the paper just on the back and when the water soaks the whole paper, it is also straight.
