Bought two of your books and started painting again after 40 years, your books are a great help. Thank you.

[@charlesevans7706]

I’m so pleased it’s helped.

I live on an uninhabited island on my boat in the Pacific northwest Canada . Specifically, the Broughton Archipelago. I discovered your channel recently after perusing dozens. I think you are the mentor I have been waiting for! ⚓

Another great video Charles. Love your "no nonsense" approach to your tutorials, no technical terms (other than your own lol) just straight forward instruction. Ordered my paints today. I am in complete lockdown with my hubby who is extremely vulnerable so cannot even go to the supermarket. Your videos have kept me sane, thank you.

Thank you Charles for taking the time to do these Vids. I am trying to paint one every day with your choice of a limited palette. The trees in Farm Cottage, were the best colours I’ve painted,having been struggling with greens, thanks again its most appreciated 👍👍

Hi Mate, Greetings from Sydney Australia. Love your painting and also subbed. I paint in oils mostly but switch to acrylics when I travel to my second home in Japan. Coz acrylics dry so quick for plein air painting its easy to carry dry paintings on trains there. Happy painting and stay safe 😊🎨🙏

[@charlesevans7706]

[@chrischampion2835]

Hi Charlie, I really enjoyed this video. Just a small thing, in the video at the point where you start to paint the boat, the sea in the background had been painted but you did not talk through the colours you used. Would love to know because I shall attempt to recreate this painting. Also as a request, please could you demonstrate how to paint an Ocean Liner or a Tramp Ship on the ocean waves ether in watercolour or acrylics. Hope to be painting in one of your classes later in the year if allowed. Keep well and stay safe.

[@charlesevans7706]

Chris Champion yes it was a bit of a cock up that bit!! The mix was cobalt blue, hookers green and a touch of Payne’s grey. If you have a look on twitter I did the Mauritania a few weeks ago on there!

[@chrischampion2835]

Yes, I always use them.

[@toni-tz6bt]

Great painting. Found you when I first started painting in the first lockdown, I started with watercolour so I didn't watch any of your acrylics , shame on me, but I'm going to have a go at this one. When you say you use the same brushes for watercolour and acrylics do you mean the same set or a set for each? Thank you for sharing your talent, I've learnt so much. Stay safe 😉

[@charlesevans7706]

I have 2 sets of the same brushes, but it doesn’t matter as long as you wash them out well!

[@munnjean]

Boats and Harbours ,,, I was certainly interested ,, until I saw the price, too bad just can't afford that for a senior ,,, but thanks for posting the video clips.

[@colinremmer2417]

Lovely painting Charles. Where can I get one of those water buckets? Thanks

[@charlesevans7706]

You can’t get them anymore unfortunately.

[@kevinmanning3753]

It reminds me of a modern version of Dutch boats in a gale by jmw turner very good

[@charlesevans7706]

That’s a terrific compliment.

[@sabiragopinath196]

Thank you for your videos. I thoroughly enjoy your tips and techniques. I have 2 requests : you are not audible at the end of your sentence and because the palette has so many colours I can't make out what colours you are mixing to get the resultant colours. Otherwise, I just look forward to watching all your videos. Thank you again.

love the sea charles if i tried it id make a right hash of it

[@pejaychristensen3845]

?? When did you add the beginning sea color? What colors did you use for that area? Thank You so much. Love your style.

[@charlesevans7706]

The mix was cobalt blue, hookers green and a little Payne’s grey.

[@stonecreek7764]

thank you for the inspiration for me to try acrylics…… Have a question for you… I have been toying with the idea of using fluid acrylic sort as a watercolor… have you ever experimented with fluid acrylic in this way?

[@charlesevans7706]

Yes, but if you’re going to paint it in the style of watercolour, it’s exactly the same as using normal system3 because you’re putting a lot of water into it!

[@jefferywarburton2116]

painting on something that absorbs your paint like, paper, or card. could help and you wouldnt have trouble with overtinning and underbinding the paint plus paper or cardstock is cheaper than canvas and an acrylic medium to bind the thin paint

[@stonecreek7764]

jeffery warburton … thank you for the tips!! ill give it a go!

[@hopleyp]

Charles, I have your book "Boat & Harbours in Acrylic". Is there an chance you could do a video for one of the painting in the book to help me to get started with it?

I see so many videos suggesting that you must use a matte medium or similar instead of water on canvas yet you don't appear to use any form of medium EXCEPT water!!! Is it such a big deal when painting on canvas???
