I used to have to fly up to Newcastle occasionally in my old job and then get to Cramlington by taxi. One day there'd been a good fall of snow, just over an inch. I mentioned it when I got to the factory and they said "Nah, it's just a hoar frost up here, this." Thanks for sharing Charles! It's where snow belongs, on a painting, not the street. 😂

[@charlesevans7706]

They’re tough up here.

[@user-zu6cu8pb1d]

Amazing as always!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@charlesevans7706]

Thank you so much.

[@cc-qu7gz]

This is great! Thank you... It is so nice that you go slowly and explain every step and what color you use, brush type, etc... A lot of youtube watercolor tutorials don't give enough detail of the steps and go too fast and assume people know more... this is great for learning and also, a BEAUTIFUL painting. Thank you so much...!!🙂🤗

[@charlesevans7706]

I’m so pleased you enjoyed it.

From one "manly" lass to another- I love you Gail❤! It was great to see Charlie's face pop up in my feed! Tomorrow's a paint night/date night! Your appearance REALLY made my day! I needed that. Much love to both!! Can't wait to paint this with you!

[@carbisartist7971]

Thank you Charles for another great painting, I’ve been a fan of your work for so long now and I’ve purchased brushes, paint’s, books of your website for a lot of my work. I will certainly be having a go at this one . Not to hard but a nice little watercolour. Keep up the good work, look forward to the next piece of art you do. Thank you again Charles.

What a great painting. I love painting snow scenes and I’ll definitely add this to my list. The building is a great focal point. Thank you for another great video. Love to you both - Dawn 🌅

Hi Charles, as always, you always make Northumberland look so wonderful in your paintings. It’s our most favourite place we visit every year & always within a short distance from where you are. Your magic in watercolour gives us fond thoughts of the area & we look forward to coming up to catch its beauty. This painting is a delight to watch you do your magic, & Im looking forward to catching up & painting again with you on a day in February. Just booked today for 2 of us. I’ve introduced a friend to watercolour painting, & we both look forward to seeing you. Make sure there’s no snow on the 21st 😂😂😂. Thanks for this Charles. Fab as ever. See you soon. Pete. Grassington. 👍

[@charlesevans7706]

Looking forward to seeing you mate.

I love all your paintings Charles and have painted many of them. I wish you'd do one on youtube every week.

[@charlesevans7706]

Thank you, I wish I had the time.

[@borleyboo5613]

Just discovered your channel. Glad I did. As a native of Yorkshire me self, it’s nice to hear a Yorkshire accent. And your paintings are stunning. This one so reminds me of many snowy days I’ve seen back up North. I’ve subscribed and look forward to many more tutorials as good as this one. Thank you. 😊

[@charlesevans7706]

Thank you very much, I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. Another one going on tomorrow.

[@termite7790]

Love your style, you two are super cute, I like your work I’ve had a go at some of your paintings, some twice. I want to try this one too, I wish you two the best. Your fan in Northern California.

Thank you and your partner in " crime" , lovely Gail, for the time invested in great video content, beautifull art work, a good vibe and energy and .. chapeau bas, maestro!

[@charlesevans7706]

Thank you so much.

[@bobadkins7377]

Well yet another very good presentation. My wife and I watched this last night. The shadow work always impresses and surprises me. You've pointed out on several video presentations that after adding paint such as the blue added for the snow effect, that by going in and softening those strokes with a bit of damp brush, a huge positive difference. This one had a home like feel to it, thanks for posting.

[@charlesevans7706]

I’m so pleased you enjoyed it.

[@palomaruiz7281]

I really like the atmosphere and the play of light that you always create in your paintings, the recreation of nature as it appears wild and grand, it is something very characteristic, very typical of you, it makes transcendence. Best regards to Gail and you

[@charlesevans7706]

Thank you so much.

[@JV44HeinzBar]

I just recently took up painting as a hobby from my science based career. Honestly, I clicked and liked the video based on your skill, but more my grandfather had the same name, "Charles Evans". :)

[@charlesevans7706]

A happy coincidence, but I’m pleased you enjoyed it.

I'm working on a painting of the Stetson Meeting House in Stetson Maine as I watch this, Charles. It is very helpful. Though the Stetson building is larger and a bit more complicated, the basics are the same. Cheers

Hi Charles! I don't often write, that being said, I like this winter scene painting for us, but I'm very much interested in the painting behind you。 Could syoiu hare about that painting or tell me where I could go to see you paint it. thanks Charles! I love your work and you are a remarkable painter.

[@charlesevans7706]

Hi. I’m pleased you like it. It’s a Scottish scene. And I didn’t do it as a video, but it is for sale on my website.

[@stephenthornton8463]

Super tutorial Charles 👍🏻. Have attempted using acrylic but struggled with the reveal of posts; guess that’s because of medium used? Had to paint in the dark/light - was that the correct way to approach? Thanks.

[@charlesevans7706]

Not really because you could have just painted the posts white! If it was acrylic, there’s no need to reveal them, just paint them!!

[@stephenthornton8463]

Ha, fairly obvious I suppose 😂. Excuse my beginners naivety 😉. Thanks Charles 👍🏻

[@silvanap5397]

How you obtain sand colour 🎨please ; thanks kindly. What fantastic technique you got !

[@davidburgess2354]

I’m a relative beginner having started by following your acrylic landscapes which I love and I’m keen to try watercolour pencils. My question is probably silly but can I assume that in general your watercolour paintings can equally effectively be tackled using watercolour pencils?

[@charlesevans7706]

I tend to make them smaller in pencils.

[@jrapprentice]

You continue to take th BS out of Watercolor and inspire the faint hearted. Why do I have this desire to return to a village hall in Northumberland? Therapy is obviously needed.

[@charlesevans7706]

Ahahaha.
