It's actually refreshing to hear this advice. As a beginner, people tell you not overwork things when you're already feeling anxiety about STARTing the painting! It's nice to think in the way you describe. Thanks
Very nice. Love the boldness, energy, colours, the dark against light to give it that lift and that spectacular watercolour effect.
Love Love Love your tutorials and would LOVE to see MORE! 🙏
Wonderful! Your advice is so liberating and your painting is beautiful! I am becoming a big fan! Thank you so much Howard!
Brilliant! Love this.
This advice on over working and just keeping going sometimes is the validation I needed to hear. Sometimes I too have produced my best when pushing forward. Sometimes not ..but I am learning when to stop and not feel like I've failed. It's really liberating. Your comments and tutorials are so appreciated by me. Thank you.
I loved the overworked segment. I tend to do that and eventually end with something good.
You are encouraging me to go at it with no fear.
Wow. The mat added brought that artwork to life.
I never go anywhere without my trusty mat 👍🙏
Bravo! ❤
🙏
I liked it very much up to 8:25.
love it. do more
👍
Great advice as always - Thx for posting - I find useful to rework older paintings that I am unsatisfied with -
Thanks BL. Do you go into mixed media when you are reworking or keep it to watercolour?
@@howardjones2159 besides white gouache, I exclusively use watercolour- like most rank amateurs my paintings tend to lack tonal contrast - but an amazing tool I use to remove paint is a magic eraser - the great John Saliminen shows what can be done at the 30 min mark in this amazing video (worth watching the whole video IMO

Hi Howard, first of all I just wanted to thank you for the download you made from the ten tips. Some are so recognizable! Especially the last one nr 10 from earlier times. you hardly dared to continue painting at a certain point. But indeed. It will not hang in the museum so just go for it is good advice.
I also found the demowas fun and educational.
I also love Bockingford paper, especially the 200lb.
When I paint on the Bockingford rough I often use the back side. It is painting better for me.
I do the same with Saunder Waterford rough.
Hi Edo. I should imagine it will take a lot of punishment too. Do you favour the rough surface or the NOT?
@@howardjones2159 Hello Howard, I prefer not surfaces. But the reverse side of Saunders Waterford I do like a lot too.
They say Wesson painted on 200lb Bockingford rough.
I always get a overload on granulation on the front of this paper. So I like here the back also more. Less granulation. More fluid washes.
Thanks Howard, great to see the depth come to life, and a wonderful demonstration of your spontaneous creativity. A really good lesson that I will take on board.
Cheers Kevin 🙏
That was very interesting and helpful, thanks Howard.
Cheers 👍
Could you please tell me the colors you've used? I love this pallet but I can't make out the tube names. Thanks!
It was a while ago, I think the main colours were Pthalo' Blue / Ultramarine Blue / Burnt Seinna and cadmium Yellow. Hope that helps. Unfortunately, this lesson is not for sale on my website. It was recorded as a freebie for UA-cam,
