An Easy Watercolour Sunset

I am very pleased that I stumbled across your channel recently and your ability to describe and illustrate your techniques is amazing. My only other comment would be that you don’t normally have a full moon and a sunset in the same scene? There’s one in every crowd isn’t there.

[@reynradio]

Hi Charles. Firstly absolutely love watching your videos in water colour paints, pencils and acrylics, it's just great to see you apply paint using techniques that are easily explained for folk to follow. Brilliant. Secondly I have tried to find this book on your web site but see its not listed and I looked on Amazon and see its available but for £34.95. Would you happen to know if it's sold anywhere else at a more reasonable price ie: in line with the book prices on your on line shop? Best regards Dave

Thanks Charlie. Boats and harbors are my favorite thing to paint. Soooooo, I placed an order for your book and paper and brushes. Your payment method booted me out using Other instead of straight PayPal. I order from the UK several times a year and have had no such problems. I will not join PayPal for the very limited times I would use it,it's not worth it to me. Perhaps your admin could look into this issue? If not. To bad so sad for me. It's not the end of the world. Thanks. And thanks for the tutorial. I needed some inspiration this morning. Drawing yesterday then painted a few flowers. I loathe doing flowers. Just do a few because I think I should to be well rounded. To the paints! But first to grab a 25 cent piece and pretend I drank too much. Ha. 👍😉😁
