What about the level of wetness between the different layers of tone, between the light value and middle value washes do you have to let it dry? Same between the middle value wash and the darker value wash, do you have to let it dry and paint over the dry surface or do it quickly when it is still shiny? Thank you for clarifying.

Yes!

Thanks, Matt - really excellent reminders on the 3 keys!! I always do end up rushing, maybe because I used to take a two hour class every week and always wanted it done each week. I've since learned to slow down, and take the time I need. The 3rd key is important for me, too - I have started to take a break between the 2nd wash and the 3rd. The Darks always go in better if I come back to the painting fresh, reviewing where I've been, checking the value studies, the sketches, my notes, and coming at it with that fresh, awake eye. It's when I get tired I start to over work it.

What a great explanation of values. Thank you for sharing your craft

Thank you for your advice. I’m definitely guilty of not waiting for the paint to dry before moving on to the next stay. Some times I do but not often enough. It’s a lesson I need to practice!

Would love tutorial on painting this exact scene in nighttime.

Great tips...love seeing the various stages at their completion and hearing your rationale the initial, middle, and final washes.

Just what I needed to hear. Your lessons are very valuable and clear. Thank youi!

Thank you for tips ❤❤❤

I love your lessons! So helpful

❤❤❤❤

Your paintings have gotten better and better. Cool

Good video Matt! One thing I think could use some clarification, is if you don’t outline, what DO you do? I think I know-for example, your wash comes up right up to the edge of a figure, but that might be an interesting topic sometime.

Got to keep practicing. Clouds are tough to get good at

Everything about this video is great. Thank you for sharing.

Can you link your pallet??

You say you let your paper dry. Are you saying only the front that you are painting on dries while the back stays wet?
