Trailer from my Zoom lesson on arranging the elements of nature in watercolor. I will walk you through how to design the layout to make a more pleasing finished painting when working from a photograph.
We discuss figures, composition, values and colors to help students understand how to better design their own paintings.

I really enjoyed watching the process of this painting. Some artists demo’s can make you switch off mentally…. same monotone music can be so boring. But with this speeded-up demo, the composition suddenly started popping and it was magnetising to watch. I’d like to see watercolour dvd’s done in two parts…. The speeded-up version first, just like this video and then followed by a “real-time version” with commentary. Well done Don 👍👨🏼‍🎨

Don, I am a die-hard follower of you and your granulation technique which I found so mesmerizing. I am a proud owner (purchaser) of virtually all of the instructional videos you've made, and yet I just can't get enough of your talent and presence online. I gave up searching for new uploads from you on KZbin, and just stumbled into this one painted over 7 months ago; this is an amazing demonstration of your talent, but I am horrified to see only 270 views, 2.45K subscribers, and 0 comments. Imagine that, 0 comments for my hero's display of seasoned talent, and that can't be right! You and Martha need to rethink your strategy, and become far, far, far more aggressive with your presence and uploads on KZbin. More people (young artists) need to be familiar with your seasoned talent; unlike me, unfortunately not everyone can afford to purchase all your videos, You and Martha need to sacrifice a little more in building a career KZbin channel with uploads at least once a week; that will quickly build up your subscriber base, and can actually be financially rewarding as well. Don, you are far better than some of the artists I know currently making it financially on KZbin! I can't wait for you to get started sir!

Hi Mekky,,,, thank you so much for your comments and suggestions on rethinking our use of KZbin for our demonstration- lessons. I also want to apologize for being so long in getting back to you, I just now discovered your comments! Martha and I are exploring the possibilities of creating a subscription etc ( per your suggestion) and will make some announcements shortly! Technology is not my strong suit!!! Thank you again.......Don

[@mekkymilliken2564]

@@donandrews3468 Well said Don, setting up a subscription-based KZbin channel would be awesome, and will give young and budding artists a chance to learn from a true master. I just can't wait sir!

@@mekkymilliken2564 Thanks again for your ideas! We'll be looking into it and will try optimizing our KZbin channel. 😉
