Expressive Watercolors that GLOW | Tom Shepherd [Part 1]

[@lisajensen1843]

This is such a great tutorial! Tom’s descriptions of his process as he paints is so helpful! And his voice is so sweet and easy to listen to😊Thank you!

[@DenaAckermanArt]

I totally agree! Happy you enjoyed it!

[@bsarres3210]

incredible teaching and incredible teacher! very gradual, slow as should be, precise and reassuring. I have quite a bit of practice in watercolor and have not yet reached this stage when you paint with absolute confidence. Insisting on the importance of tonal value all along, so important! Thank you for showing us the way

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Tom is a master because he makes it looks so easy!! He's also taught me a lot... I'm happy you enjoyed the tutorial!

[@DMannionArt]

This was fabulous... bookmarked and will watch again and again. Bravo!

[@DenaAckermanArt]

I'm so happy you enjoyed it and will come back again! Thank you!

[@leighsirvent654]

Love your looseness and playing with colors!

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Agree, Tom is amazing 🤩

[@AnnBaudo]

Thank you for sharing your time and expertise. You really touched on some of my weaknesses. I am really drawn to your style. Love the connectivity of the subjects and the emphasis on light.

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Thanks for your comment! So happy you enjoyed this... Tom has also taught me so much about watercolors!

[@connieostroha8423]

Beautifully painted! Thanks for a wonderful lesson!

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Thank you for watching, so glad you enjoyed it!!

[@justinwr092]

looks fun. I'm going to try painting along with this one. thanks for posting

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Amazing! Let us know how it goes!

[@CupcakeCottage]

What a great instructor

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Tom is amazing isn't he?

[@denisefortier7769]

As usual Tom, you are an inspiring teacher of creative process! I especially love your answer to Dena’s question about people who worry about developing their own “style”. You (and I paraphrase) advocate just following the basic process of keeping colour and tools simple, maintaining the values, and being aware of what the medium is doing. Then paint, and paint and paint some more! You will eventually figure out what you like the best about what you are creating, and do it again and again. That is developing your “style”. It takes time and repetition and exploration!

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Yes well said!! Tom is an excellent and inspiring teacher, with so much good advice!

[@lisap5615]

Love the focus of value and shape! It works so beautifully. The result is lovely as it creates depth and helps to accentuate the light against the darker areas and shadows.

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Yes, the values and colors are amazing aren't they? So glad you enjoyed the tutorial!

[@lindaolsen7828]

Terrific instructor. Thanks for this demo. I'm heading over to part 2!

[@DenaAckermanArt]

[@sylviabailey831]

This is awesome. Such a straightforward simple process. Excellent instruction. I plan to do a paint along to learn from this. Like Tom, I get easily confused and benefit from the less is more approach. Thank you both for this. I look forward to watching the landscape video.

[@DenaAckermanArt]

I agree, Tom is an amazing artist and teacher! I'm so happy you gained from this demo!

They look more like peaches to me . But it’s so beautiful! So gifted.

[@DenaAckermanArt]

I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Tom is so talented! Thanks for your comment!

[@kaliissouledout4jesus928]

Hello all. I fallowed and painted along. I’d love to show Tom . I really appreciate his positive position.❤ I’m new here thank you.😊

[@Kim-f3x]

I think you’re perfect. Don’t change a thing. You teach so well. I adore listening and learning. I’m new so I need help. Do you give classes? How do I start? Do I float around and find short recordings to try painting with? I feel as if I’m drowning without a solid platform of knowledge to base my beginning with. I hope you can take the time to give me a direction. I’m in love with learning,this is so helpful. Do I start with your number one tutorial?

[@DenaAckermanArt]

I'm so, so glad you enjoyed this! Tom is a generous, brilliant, fun instructor! Check out his KZbin channel or his website for more info! tomshepherdart.com/

[@mariabeatrizleitao835]

Pintura lindíssima. Parabéns. Boa noite.

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Thank you!!

[@steveharris2206]

Thanks for sharing your process. I followed along and had a wonderful experience and a satisfactory outcome-what more can you ask? What I appreciate most is the ability to draw out form and light so effectively while preserving the spontaneity of the medium. Will be reviewing your website for in-depth lessons. Cheers!

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Wow I'm so happy to hear this! Tom is incredible and I hope you can gain a lot more from his teaching!

[@joypolk3093]

Aren’t those peaches?😁

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Haha, I guess they could be!!

[@hol1medve]

Brilliant! I loved every moment! 🤩😍 Can you share, where to get these brushes?

[@DenaAckermanArt]

I am so glad you enjoyed it! panartglobal.com/category/brushes or do a search online for Panart watercolor brushes. Good luck!

[@hol1medve]

@@DenaAckermanArt Thank you 😃

[@joycealmond6982]

These look like peaches to me. Love the loose easy style. I’d like to know the colours he is mixing as I’m a beginner.

[@DenaAckermanArt]

I'm so happy you enjoyed it! You can check out Tom's website for more tutorials and color instruction! tomshepherdart.com/

[@janesanchez213]

Oh my gosh, thank you! I feel like I could do this. I’ve tried to paint oranges time after time. They turned out awful! I’ll be getting these colors and give it a try

[@DenaAckermanArt]

The best teachers make it look easy, don't they! Good luck with this one!!

[@karinj.6938]

I really enjoyed watching this tutorial and learned very essential skills… thank you so much!! Could you please tell me where I can find the reference photo? That would be great since I really want to try painting it. 🤗

[@msgail7232]

I would love to buy the Panart mop brush series 1181 brush but it is not available in the USA!

[@DenaAckermanArt]

What a shame!

[@sandfly60]

Try JacksonsArt in the UK. They post anywhere around the world.

[@gloriapoling8148]

Brilliant tutorial I absolutely love Watercolor it’s my favorite medium love the boldness of colors didn’t understand the name of your brush. If you could send that to me, I would appreciate it. Thank you again. Cheers.

[@DenaAckermanArt]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! They are Panart synthetic squirrel brushes, in size 18, 12, and 8.

[@Brembelia]

The Panart brushes aren't really available here 🇺🇸 Jerry's Artarama has a set of very small brushes and a set of 3 small brushes, and that's about it. Is there anyone here you know of who will carry the brushes you have shown?

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Ah that's too bad. Hope you can find something good!

[@davidforbes327]

What type of squirrel hair brushes is Tom Shepherd using? Synthetic or real hair brushes?

[@julieo8017]

Dana could you close your window so we can have the fullest possible screen of the demonstration?

[@DenaAckermanArt]

When Tom is teaching, it's full screen on him. Enjoy!

[@cherylluteman4608]

I wish you would just get on with it.. a little brevity and empathy for your viewer's ears please? i.e., You talk way too much dude!

[@DenaAckermanArt]

No one tied you down and forced you to watch this 😂 If someone takes the time to share their skills and knowledge with you, a little appreciation is in order!

[@JoyJohnson-t1v]

I think you have a lot to offer and have a lot of knowledge about watercolor. May I suggest that you need to think about what you're going to say before you start recording. This video could be half the length with a bit more planning on your part.

[@DenaAckermanArt]

I think you may be used to scripted, highly edited video lessons, which are fantastic. But this is a live demo, with an artist painting on the spot, explaining, teaching, having discussions, answering questions! Nothing was planned in advance, this is a go-with-the-flow type of lesson 😊

[@nowirehangers2815]

I like it this way thank you

[@ldrake2047]

This is free content and she’s actually teaching a skill rather than some useless reaction video. Come ON!

[@DenaAckermanArt]

@@nowirehangers2815 Thank you!! Happy to hear it!

[@tammykoolbeck1588]

I think it is PERFECT!

[@phillipstroll7385]

Now there is absolutely no reason to fking the paint brush like that. He's extremely slow and careful where he's painting what's to be seen. The slap dash on the edges and background is just ridiculous.

[@DenaAckermanArt]

Everyone has their own style of painting. That's the beauty of art :)
