Perspective for watercolor - what you need to know

[@maureenbainbrigge860]

One of the best explanations on perspective. Very relatable.

[@vikki7955]

Very good explanation .

[@chesapeake4797]

Thank you for bringing your computer graphics expertise to us to visualize horizon lines, vanishing points, and points of perspective! It makes it easier to understand.

[@YYWildlifeArt]

a combination of art and science that is clearly described 👍

[@robscometic]

I have to say, Eric you are such a good teacher, you are not too technical, you tell stories about the scenes and the editing of the videos, sounds and animations make your paintings fun and exiting, i've been painting for 20 yrs, but i can see now, i've been struggeling with mixing values, and no separate washes. Very interesting!

[@katherinelawrence1608]

Those clean washes. I'm obsessed. that trick of creating a second car is a game changer. This is a beautiful painting! Might be one of my favorites!

[@jillmorris2849]

Excellent Eric. I am going to use some of your ideas in my workshop. I teach watercolor at the Roswell Visual Arts Center in Roswell, GA. I love painting city scapes, and teaching about 1 pt perspective. Thankfully, you are loose. Love loose watercolor. Thank you, JillyWillyArt

[@Scrabbledat]

Thank you ! Your videos are extremely helpful, especially for people who cannot afford a formal art class. I hope you get the revenue you deserve from your channel! 😊

[@BarbrajoanOriginals]

Eric, I always like the way you keep those whites. Love your street views. 🇺🇸❤️

[@valerienotvalentine]

[@notanbu69]

Love how you explain and express ❤️

[@janetgoldstein7597]

Well done. You are a natural teacher. Thank you for your helpful and comprehensive video

[@robmcshane6907]

Once again you hit the spot. I want to paint more than the landscapes I’ve been doing but buildings have eluded and scared me. Now I know why and how to fix it. You are a star 🌟, Eric. So clearly explained and demonstrated. Now for me to do and practice. You are helping me become a much better artist, thank you. You are much appreciated 🌟🌟

[@JackieInMn]

Wonderful tutorial and so helpful. Many thanks. In earlier videos you expressed your desire to paint more loosely. You nailed it.

[@kimberleesublett]

Eric you are very relatable and explain things in a manner in which a newbie to watercolor and drawing. I still have a lot to learn, but am very excited to learn for experts like yourself. I followed along, applying the principles your incorporated and ended up with a pretty good first time effort. Thanks again.

[@shirleyatkinson5780]

Perspective is my nemesis. Your video has been very helpful! Thank you!

[@lindathaxton1994]

Like magic watching you create - beautiful

[@garybarker6994]

Thank you Eric. Your teaching about perspective is the best! And I love your painting. Not least of all because I was able to be there about a year ago now. It is not far from where I grew up long ago! Many memories your painting awakens.

[@kimkeelor3781]

Thank you! You are an excellent and natural teacher.

[@mikecooper7815]

Your item on Perspective is great. Thanks

[@sookking]

Very good illustration of perspective drawing and colour value. Thank you!

[@carlabernecoli2071]

beautiful lesson. Thanks for these explanations. I will listen to them several times to understand each word (because unfortunately my English is not very good)

[@Gitbo]

Eric, I really like this lesson. I recently completed a painting in Andy Evansen’s course where I found (too late) that the perspective was off, particularly with a car on the street. A fellow classmate said it looked like my street was going uphill, and I saw it after the fact. You have really explained the concept well, especially the relative sizes of the car to a person. I also like the technique of drawing a box and pulling the box forward. I saved this video for future reference. Thanks, again.

[@gopiseth4523]

Thank you so much sir for this video it's really helpful to me 🙏🙏🙏🙏 and I loved the painting and I understand what you say 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍

[@suneelnegi1534]

Eric, you are great.

[@angiewright-artist8246]

Omg Eric I'm so happy you made this video and to know I'm not alone, I understand perspective and drawing in perspective, simple perspective I'm fine but when it gets complex it sucks the life out of my creativity and I totally feel like it's all Math I find finding my plum lines and connections really help me! Thank you my friend! Cheers from Canadaxo

[@arlifox8138]

love the way you explained perspective ! thank you :-)

[@lyndaranson1728]

Thank you Eric. Love your style. Learned a lot

[@hArtyTruffle]

I think I watched this a little while ago, but now that I’m going to actually tackle a painting, I’m back for a reminder of your instruction. Thanks Eric. Really helpful 🙏

[@Hagar_le_Horrible]

I understand perspective very well but love watching your painting technique. Thanks.

[@donnabrooks7783]

Thank you Eric! Love this painting so much! I do landscapes and portraits which I love but some day I want to paint buildings and street scenery but I have been afraid to try because of perspective. You made this so easy to understand and for that I am grateful!

[@kennytowns3309]

Very nice eric..nice light bounce tells the time of day really well..

I'm really hesitant to perspective paintings but i think im gonna try to learn from you so, thank you so much for this great explanation!

[@shirleymclean8911]

Thank you Eric. I have watched so many perspective tutorials but this is the first that I can really use in my work.

[@karenrichardson6767]

I needed this review on perspective! Thank you Eric : - )

[@BigDomski]

Intuitive perspective is the number 1 skill that I'm after. I'm so happy that you made a video on this. I know the basics fairly well, but sometimes it comes down to hearing it from the right person to solidify what you know

[@marieschmittroth2816]

Thanks!

[@Cafewatercolor]

Thank you! 🥰

[@miguelpirre1]

Very good lesson

[@zoey9064]

I have really struggled with perspective and tried to avoid it as much as I can in watercolor paintings, and this video has really helped me understand the basic elements and rules of perspectives. Thank you, this really helps me a lot.

[@Angayasse]

This was super useful! Thank you!

[@karenbenson1537]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@johnwolf7842]

Thank you so much for this instruction Eric. I've subscribed to yours and The Mind of Watercolor as my only real 'go to' channels for learning to paint in the medium.

[@shubhaoak2165]

It also means from your video,that feelings and frame of mind are important for making a great painting…

[@shubhaoak2165]

Great tutorial !!

[@veronicagreen6180]

Great information!, thanks

[@m.h.mcarver2904]

Thanks alot for your efforts 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@SC4RArt]

Amazing as always! So informational! 😍😍😍

[@TinRoofVintage]

Loved this tutorial, especially when you explained and created the black and white value study first. On the color painting, did my ears pick up "y.o.u. r [are] painting ...."? 🙂 Maybe I'm hearing things! Peace and Blessings from Texas USA 🌹

[@raynoladominguez4730]

Very nice. Your simplification of shapes is masterful.

[@volzotansmyke2951]

Thanks Eric! This tutorial and demo was really eye opening. How you related the size of the cars to each other was really neat, I will try it asap ❤️

[@leighanderson2251]

Thank you Eric. This will be very good as I tackle your course.Very well thought out bit of teaching. Terrific.

[@sujeeshss2014]

This is a great tutorial!

[@pjs3514]

Very good info. Thank you

[@Coffeeismylifeblood]

I LOVE perspective. My father was a math major who graduated with a 4.0 so I guess the apple

[@narenrai4884]

Thank you

[@aslioz7326]

Amazing...

[@beltranjohnkiven9880]

Thank you for your videos I'm improving as an artist for free

[@suzannewaters6114]

You are such a wonderful instructor. Thank you so much, Eric! One thing that always confuses me about perspective is when I "think about where everything is in relation to me." Im not sure what you mean by that. Does it mean my view, eg, if Im looking up at or down on or directly at? Or if I placed myself in the painting?..ugh.. I just dont get that part. 😳😬🎨 could you help me understand?

[@randeeprana8303]

Great......thank you

[@tericarter2886]

Thank you I really needed this push to work with perspective May I ask what is your preferred size of paper to work on ?

[@uncleatelier8495]

You're very talented. ~~~♡★☆♡♥♥

[@pulupulumee5631]

刚开始起稿就觉得他只是随便画画 但是越画越像现实的感觉 厉害👍🏻 光影和结构 抓大放小 细节不是那么重要

[@felipecoelho1936]

Hi Eric, can you make a vídeo giving tips how you draw the cars?

[@jackscat]

謝謝老師的精彩解說透視原理~

[@nunziabiscotti2294]

Bellissimo.

[@LandKCarpetOne]

Great tutorial! On an earlier tutorial you mentioned filling in white highlights. What did you use to get the bright white color? Very heavy white watercolor still usually bleads through.

[@kaybae6867]

Thank you for this! If you can briefly touch on perspective and paint color selection/mixing each time, that would be soooo helpful to newbies to painting/watercolor, like myself. ;0)

[@sinkingso4603]

簡單易懂很好的老師多謝！

[@TheStaubzauger]

Great video! Question: can you use the value study and paint over it with color to get a final painting? Or is it purely for reference?

[@Cafewatercolor]

it's mostly a reference for me. Value can get dark in the value study, putting color over it will just make it look dirty
