Charles Evans Step by Step Painting in watercolours, oils and acrylics

Another painting from Charlie's first book about how to paint watercolours.

[@garycane6660]

So pleased to have found this, I have admired Charles's work for so many years man and boy. For me he is the best water colour tutor bar non, a brilliant artist and so very unpretentious. Anybody who gives this a thumbs down clearly has no understanding.

[@charlesevans7706]

Thank you so much. Don’t worry about the ungratefulls, it’s been miserable that keeps them going!!

I am not a painter or drawing person, of any shape, but I enjoy your vids. When the drawing is done and you’re sorting your palette is the part I like best. Then the water and wash goes on, and a sky appears from nowhere. Simples! For you, ha ha! Thank you Charles, well done.

Hi Charles. Peter from Noosa Australia. Firstly to all of our British friends, we might take the piss out of each other but please know our hearts and good wishes are extended to all. So please stay safe. Now great to see you back. Your colours are a little different to show the season. I cannot wait to start this exercise. That's enough. Looking forward to more painting, Once again to you and all your followers stay safe and paint away this lockdown. Yours Peter.

Mr. Evans, I just wanted to take the time to express to you how much I really appreciate the knowledge you are sharing. You give so much of your time for absolutely no cost, and I sincerely appreciate every minute of it. In watching your videos I have enjoyed your style and teaching so much I have afforded several of your books. I hope someday I can contribute more than books. Thank you.

Mr Evans, thank you for another great instructional. Looking forward to your next acrylic also, just purchased a basic batch of colors in acrylic. I liked the sky in this one, and I remembered the first time I used the technique of much water and simply let the colors mix and run (learned from your videos) and I was amazed at pulling out the paint and leaving fantastic clouds! My previous attempts were hmmm not good. Thanks I’ve learned a lot. Stay safe.
