Charles Evans - Beach Scene

Charles Evans takes you step by step through a wonder watercolour painting of a beach.

[@waynedavies5569]

Hi Charles, Although this watercolour demonstration was completed by you many years ago, I still never tire of watching this Beach scene over again. Your techniques to paint the cliffs and rocks are “classic” and I often go back for reference. Best regards, Wayne 🎨😀👍

[@mjjeter7169]

Mornin' - Just watched this tutorial for the second time. Wanted to make sure I did not miss a single thing. :) I was just in awe the second time around! I truly love your style of instruction...it is real, and spot on. Thanks for that!

[@charlesevans7706]

I’m sooo pleased you enjoyed it.

[@valeriepickles1635]

As someone else mentioned earlier i have watched quite a lot of YT tutorials as living in the jungle of Yucatan I have no access to teachers especially watercolours .I find this is one of the best thank you . You get to. The point without a load of babble before hand and during and I love your work .

[@charlesevans7706]

Valerie Pickles thank you so much.

[@karenforshner1979]

Really appreciate your teaching style. Easy to understand and brimming with information. Thank you.

[@charlesevans7706]

Karen Forshner Thank you. Pleased you enjoyed the video.

[@jd1442003]

I have just returned to painting after 40 years of absence and these tutorials by Charles are fantastic and inspirational. I have only just discovered them so I am currently working through them all The books look amazing also, especially the line sketches and tracings that are included. Thank you for posting

[@charlesevans7706]

I’m so pleased you’re enjoying them.

[@laurageorgina1783]

HI Charles, just found your u tube channel. I loved the tutorial I will be giving it ago. I've never done landscapes before I normally draw and paint flowers but you made it look so much fun. Found one of your books at the library today and already can't put it down. Look forward to more of your videos. kind regards Laura

[@lorihill5372]

Fantastic -- love your technique and especially the limited palette you use, and that your video includes you showing us how you mix up your paints. (Lots of other artists don't share the palette with the camera and it's frustrating for us beginners.) Just as soon as I can find the "subscribe" key, I'll be watching and soaking up your tips. Thanks for sharing your gift with a wanna-be artist.

[@charlesevans7706]

Thanks Lori, happy painting,

[@suebarker4159]

Met Charles at the Nec and sat in on one of his classes painting a very similar scene, he really is an excellent instructor and artist.

[@charlesevans7706]

Sue Barker thank you So much

[@cazscot8397]

wonderful sea scene Charles and cliffs sooo good. Lovely painting. Caz

[@jenniferbell4571]

I am from San Diego - near Sunset Cliffs, Point Loma. I miss it so much, and this reminds me of the tide pools I visited so many times. Thank you.

[@charlesevans7706]

So pleased you enjoyed it.

[@derekgrange5363]

[@charlesevans7706]

Annie Anderson thank you so much. Much appreciated.

[@charlesevans7706]

Thank you very much

[@marialuisaravazzi6405]

Hello my dear. I am so happy to find you here. I’m sure i Will learn a lot. Kiss to Franck ❤️

[@digiphot2]

Wonderful job! I'll look up your book "Charlie's Top Tips" too! I watched with wrapped amazement as to how you mixed your colors, and thought...I'm glad pastels have only one color in each stick, but have the capability to be blended by overlaying complements, neutrals, and what have you! I hope! Ha Ha! Wish me luck! The Bloke from the Colonies! Spokane, Washington....Waaaaay over here, a mere eight time zones away! By the way, I will be 64 next month, just like the Beatles said back in 1967!

[@charlesevans7706]

digiphot2 Keep painting!

[@melmoranda07]

[@paulsheldon9510]

Thank you Charles, wonderful tutorial as always! I’ll have a bit of fun at the beach having a go with that one! Just received your little book, your paint range including CE Sand and set of the 4 Aquafine brushes. I used the CE Sand and brushes today on a local street scene with the Sand for a stone fountain and with a touch of light red for skin tone. Works a treat! Thank you to you and Gail.

[@charlesevans7706]

I’m very happy you’re pleased with them mate.

[@mickhamilton8385]

Nice work, a simple sketch with brilliant lighting 👍.

[@charlesevans7706]

Nooo, I’m always mucky when I paint, covered in the stuff. Enjoy the book and thank you very much.

[@felixconnolly1467]

anyone see the face on the right side of painting?

[@nelidafelizia8395]

Sinceramente no la vi... quizás porque presté demasiada atención a cómo pintabas las rocas.

[@eldavernieri5488]

Wendy Simm thank you very much

[@chase4326]

Beautiful demonstration! Thank you!

[@charlesevans7706]

Robin Rockwell thank you very much

[@Pablo99336]

Great video Charles. I like your different ways if mixing Raw umber to get four earths out of it. I use W & N too but I notice your French ultra for the sky looks more like Cobalt in the video. If I use French ultra for the sky it has a violet or reddish tint to it. That,s why I nearly always use the colder Cobalt for the sky. Ill try the French ultra again and see how I get on.

[@charlesevans7706]

Jack Silver The colour you see on your screen will be modified by your settings. As you say, Ultramarine blue is a warmer clue than cobalt.

[@palmiracarmenambrosino1845]

Hermoso paisaje. Muy bién explicado. gracias.-

Love your work. You encourage me to paint more. The KISS method (keep it simple sweetheart!)

[@mostafawasif6827]

Oh..that's an wonderful video

[@crystalheart9]

Great video and you are a wonderful teacher explaining everything you do. I really enjoy watching you paint so effortlessly. I stress and work so hard on my paintings. I need to free myself up and have more fun. My big problem is finding reference for paintings. I don't live near a beach and there aren't many fantastic landscapes for me to photograph where I live. I've ordered your top tips book, thank you.

[@charlesevans7706]

crystalheart9 I hope you enjoy the book. have you tried Google images for inspiration?

[@crystalheart9]

I will do that, I know I can only use them for inspiration and not copy, but I will surly look into that. I have your top tips book now and am really pleased with it:)

[@parvaiznaseem8831]

You are really fantastic with Watercolors.

[@davidinger961]

Love your videos , you seem to make everything flow , that shows your experience shining through , I've got some of your books both water colour, an acrylic find acrylics easier, looks like you've got to be bold and positive and not tittle it like I do lol! Going to try your horses on the beach one only started at beginning of the year , at age 75 so I like knowing any shortcuts instead of wasting time many thanks for your inspiring and easy teaching methods

[@charlesevans7706]

You’re very welcome and I’m so pleased that you’re enjoying them.

[@dorispereyra4066]

Yes, I love your youtube videos, your techniques are simple and easy to follow. Very impressed with your technique of painting people. . You are so good, thanks for sharing your talent. Do you have any DVD's.

[@charlesevans7706]

Doris Pereyra thank you very much

[@mariusvaiciulis5072]

three brushes used if not count a card :) loved that ilusion of simplicity. and though i do agree that that is kind of simple to do, i think that there is something else to the recipe of that painting, that is experience :)

[@charlesevans7706]

Marius Vaiciulis most definitely. It’s a few minutes, but 35 years before that!

[@mariusvaiciulis5072]

well, that is a sad thing to know. i'm just starting, and i don't think i have that much left :)

[@charlesevans7706]

Marius Vaiciulis Ahahah, think positive!

[@mariusvaiciulis5072]

i'm pretty much positive, that i'm correct on that, statistics back my view on that :) anyway, i started painting as a getaway from my main job, that is programming, so i really enjoy the process. whole of it. and i noticed that i see the world totaly different now. now the trees are not green anymore, nor the grass is. lots of things changed. so, no regrets. quite the opposite, glad i've taken that road. all the best. going to watch other videos of yours, they are a real joy to watch.

[@charlesevans7706]

Marius Vaiciulis thanks again, enjoy.

[@mjjeter7169]

Another incredible tutorial! WOW - You are simply amazing. I can't imagine doing a painting that quickly and have it turn out so lovely. I am from Florida, and have many beaches to go to; however, none have rocks, hills or mountains. Well we do have sand dunes, but that is not quite the same. Thank you again for sharing your techniques, your ideas, and your profoundly beautiful talent.

[@charlesevans7706]

That’s very kind, thank you so much.

[@joanray6897]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love your programmes. Is there anything that can be done about the sound? Its very soft and can't hear. Thank you.

[@JESUSSSCID1]

MUY BUENO!!... MUCHÍSIMAS GRACIAS.

[@charlesevans7706]

Thank YOU!

[@staceygrove7295]

I particularly like the method you used for the cliff face. I would try this one out myself but I've cut up all my credit cards. You do 30 paintings a week? I would be happy if I did that many in a year! Thanks again, Charles.

After viewing many many videos, I've stumbled across this one and learned more from it than any other. The sound was pretty bad in spots however and I can only guess what you were saying:)
