What a beauty, Harriet! Many moons ago on holiday we drove down the coast of Spain, and suddenly and magically we came upon a beautiful white village.. I’ll never forget staying overnight at a beautiful spacious inn- across the road from the Mediterranean and surrounded by all-white houses such as the one depicted in your gorgeous painting. Thank you, Harriet, for this super tutorial which brought to mind such a lovely memory!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

How lovely Angie!

[@lynjones6446]

Just completed this painting as a birthday card for my son-in-law Darren to remind him of his holiday in Greece a week ago. Not as beautiful as yours but passable and I’m sure he’ll love it. Thank you for all you excellent tutorials luv ‘em ❤

So many lessons in the pain. Absolve it! I’ll have to watch a dozen times to practice shading and shadows ❤

[@annoverton6379]

Wow fantastic 👏 you make it look so easy, it looks beautiful 🎉 Ann

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ljscheible6007]

Very helpful ❤

[@matraclm5422]

I am a complete beginner, and I know whatever I do will never come close to looking half as good, but you are a very inspiring teacher, and I think I will just go ahead and give it a try...this is just so gorgeous! 😅😋

[@deWintonPaperCo]

You can do it!

[@patm1871]

Stunning ❤

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@wrosenlund]

What an emotional ride! The smear of back…ahhh! Oh, never mind. Perfection! Such a great tutorial of light and shadow and not being afraid to cover all the hard work with black. 😅

[@deWintonPaperCo]

haha, right?! I hope I've taken some of the fear out of shadows. And remember, a shadow is never pure black and it also fades as it dries.

[@joyseedee53]

I had so much fun trying this one. Just started doing water colors recently. ❤

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Wonderful!

[@johnkelly720]

Really beautiful. I thought when you were putting in the shadows they were too severe. But they made the whole piece pop!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Yes, you’ve got to keep the faith! It dries lighter too

[@kathycasler326]

Thank you! This was a bit of a challenge but I like the results. Love your videos.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

You are so welcome!

[@luciatala2704]

BEUAUTIFUL💖💖

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks Joanne, the shadows really make it

[@Carina-2906]

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you, yes the Cobalt Blue Deep has worked very hard here

[@nadiaarchuleta7072]

Gorgeous painting and I definitely learned a few things. Also, don't mind about weather talk. I live in the UAE where it's impossibly hot. I wouldn't mind a spot of rain right now!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Wonderful!

[@zaaraha5092]

Reminds me of Granada my recent Holiday Beautiful

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Lovely!

[@suzieblair8089]

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed this video. I love your illustrations. Would you consider doing a Paris cafe with people sitting at the tables. Thank you, suzie

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Great suggestion!

[@claudettecurran6185]

This is a beautiful painting. Its way above my level of painting but if I don't try how am I ever going to advance. And yes the screen shot is definitely a great help. Thank you ....👍 🤗 👍

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Absolutely! I've taken it nice and slow and don't forget you can always pause/rewind the video if it gets too much!

[@joyceburton8208]

Thank you for a beautiful painting and wonderful tutorial Hope I can do something similar.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you! You can!

[@rosalynsolinger1069]

I want to live there! So pretty.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

It really is!

[@lizohagan8233]

Such a beautiful painting! You can almost feel the warm sunshine. Also, it was lovely to see you and Ant together the other day. Thank you both for your brilliant videos. Looking forward to getting your new book. Thanks again.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you so much!

[@123craftygal]

I am so thrilled with my result! I still need to work on maintaining white areas, they add so much to a painting. The way you do this is so amazing! I lost control of my stripes in the pot early on and I’m not thrilled with the cheaper paper I used but I’m going to do this one again for sure. Thank you so much for a wonderful lesson! 😊😊I tagged you on IG as Catnap104

[@shirleygreaves9650]

Absolutely stunning. I loved this.❤️

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you Shirley!

[@wyonnemetcalf5851]

Love, love this, Harriet! I'm really scared to attempt this one. Maybe someday. Lol ❤

Thanks!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks for the love!

[@anamariabechara]

I am loving your tutorials!!! So much quality practice! Could you update the link for your paints? It takes me to jackson's website but no products... Thank you!!!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Ah, apologies, I will see what I can do.

[@michellef3893]

Can you explain how you delete the pencil lines? I've never been able to delete them after they've been painted. Thank you! PS: love this painting!

[@jimmychapman3594]

Great video, but what I would love to know is, what brand of pencil sharpener you use!!

[@donnastokes496]

Stunning as.always but what happened to the big swoop of colour at the end?!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

I decided against it!

[@reand.6223]

Hello from New Jersey, USA. I absolutely Enjoy your tutorials. Do you have a tracing of this project? Thank you.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Hi! If you watch the tutorial you will see the point I say to take a screen shot so you can create your own traceable from it!

[@dianachase63]

I love it! However, it makes me wonder...where does the door lead to? It looks like it opens up to...nothing...just air. 😊

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Good question!

[@lauriegranstrand4018]

Lovely, which eraser did you use to rub out the pencil?

[@deWintonPaperCo]

I used a hard eraser from Factis, the "ink 30"
