How to paint light in watercolor with 3 layers

[@raynoladominguez4730]

Eric, You are a great artist and a kind and thoughtful man. I so appreciate your generosity in sharing your skills with us all and your inspiring words. Thank you and God Bless.

[@Satarupa902]

Painting is not just about displaying the end result but also the journey and thought process behind it.

[@marlonsviolinprogress]

The smoke in the sunset painting came together like magic. Amazing

[@margarethurst8452]

Your videos are always, "just right." I appreciated the side-by-side examples that clearly demonstrated your topic here. It was very helpful. Thank you.

[@gailtruscott5520]

Eric, thank-you for your clear instruction of how to rend light. By demoing the same scene side-by-side under 2 different light conditions it was by far the best explanation of the nuanced techniques I have watched. Also, in the sunset version, your approach to save the over worked steam by glazed over the sky at the point in the 3rd layer when the paper is almost dry, is an invaluable lesson.

[@terrismith5649]

Thank you ! Your observations and literary relay of your observations are helpful to the beginning artist.

[@ljschlag271]

Thanks! A reminder of the importance to take the time to observe, before starting to paint.

[@emrsngs]

"Just because something is lit by the sun doesn't mean it has a light value." I have struggled with this for over two decades and that simple statement suddenly made it click. Thank you.

[@weill6872]

You were so good on capturing the right colors and values..!! Thx for the video !

[@yunzers]

Fantastic demo. Thanks so very much. You’re such a great teacher and I agree, you have an amazing voice. Love your work!

[@hfarms5779]

Very important to think about light and shadow. Watercolor will always be a mystery but these tutorials uncover it slowly.

[@vickylaw659]

you are a great teacher 👨‍🏫👍

[@dineshchadha2032]

It's good to see examples side by side. Thank you.

[@darlenemc3586]

[@roberta207]

Love it!!! Thank you so much for this very interesting demo.. I will give it a go

[@cherigreen4471]

Great job! I really love how they turned out and your explanation along the way!

[@kerstink1100]

Thank you very much for this very useful tipps. One thing I 'd like to mention: as in the sunset picture the light is shining from down behind the train the steam should be lighter beliw and much darker in the upper part, I mean? Love your tutorials 🌺🌈

[@HPerdrix]

Thanks for this teaching. I found it very useful as a beginner

[@pattycyr8662]

You are a great artist and teacher - thanks so much for explaining everything so well!

[@davidmolloy126]

Hiya Eric, Thanks very much for a superb demonstration and great advice, I love both paintings but particularly the early morning version. Take care and stay safe and well.

[@heavanaart4049]

Eric, I have just discovered your channel, your teaching is clear and concise and I am learning lots of valuable lessons to take away. I love your calm and generous manner, your videos are so relaxing to watch. Thank You.

[@Neorhim]

Hi Eric. This is very informative and thoughtful. I wonder why it is so important to “always connect your middle values”? Any insight you could share? Or a video where you explain why it is so important? Thank you. This is beautiful.

[@poppyhali3648]

This is the first of your videos I've seen. Very helpful and informative. I look forward to watching more. Thanks!

[@bjornjohansson4911]

Dear Mr Yi Lin. I will thank you so much for making these tutorials that I love to watch. However I use to love to paint myself, but my desire went away due to Mr Putins disgusting attack and war against the friendly, and democratic Ukraine some ten days ago. All my happiness fell flat to zero. Anyway. It feels very good to see you paint, and listen to your beautiful voice that radiates love. I needed that. I will re-watch many more of your shows. Many thanks, and love from a swedish old man.

[@hemagopinath4418]

You're so good! Great teaching as well thank you!

[@monica-NJ-123]

Thank you Eric , I love trains and that might help with attempting to paint them xoxo

[@fmc6592]

Amazing tips. I do put too many details early. Was nice to see u keep it very simple. Question for you, is there an app or software that can turn a picture into 3 shades of grey, so we can better visualize what would be highlights, mid and darker tones.

[@amerxiast5090]

That art is awesome

[@1fredricka]

You are a great teacher! I'm Spanish and as you speak quiet and clear I understand everything very well!!! I'm learning a lot with your vídeos. Thanks you very much!!!

[@angelikabehlig1558]

Hi Eric, thank you for showing this two different versions! That was really interesting. I have another question: I saw in your Insta the wonderful painting of the young lady you did with procreate. It would be nice if you can show this painting process also in your yt channel. To add a nft for the painting is easy or difficult? Greatings from Germany Angelika

[@Cafewatercolor]

Eric, 你好，很喜歡你的影片！可以多介紹展示你的工作內容嗎？

[@RajmahendraR]

One question, I am have just started learning Watercolor and not much experience in Drawing. When ever i draw i use to add grid before i start drawing. say i add vertical and horizontal lines in 25, 50 75% and i start drawing to see the actual center and where object sits is this good to do it.... in beginning to draw ? When i get soft copy of image i draw this grid in photoshop Guide lines and in my paper and start draw.

[@bluelagoontipplerloft6130]
