I'm watching these videos after seeing you as a judge on Watercolour Challenge, Peter. You seem like the best of the three judges so far in terms of tips and feedback and that little bit of the program where you dig out your own brushes to do a quick sketch. I've steered clear of your book so far as it was full of instructive demos rather than tips, so was looking like a beginner's book. But I'm having a rethink now - I could do with learning how to capture the light.

Thanks for the compliment .You have got to make a book as broad as you can Steve, but trust me it's all in there, bits from novice starting points, up to some pretty hard stuff to take on board.

I too think Peter is the best judge on Watercolour Challenge and bought the Kindle version of the books, despite drawing for years, but falling short with the painting. However, revisiting the subject has improved my sketching techniques. I also like the idea of an under painting as a first wash. I’ve never seen this demonstrated before.

His book is most certainly suitable for all trying to learn or improve their skills.

I did end up buying the book and it's definitely a galactico, worthy of five palettes artisticactuary.blogspot.com/2022/03/pure-watercolour-painting-peter-cronin.html

I don’t often comment on KZbin videos, but having seen you on Watercolour Challenge I felt I should….I completely agree with Steve Mills, especially having seen the last judge in action…no disrespect, and I know art is subjective, but how the contestants could possibly learn anything from the demos that have been done so far, I can’t imagine. Your work is beautiful, clear transparent watercolour, exactly as it should be, without any gimmicks or tricks ….I think you should be chosen as the judge for all future series of Watercolour Challenge…..! Oh, and I’ve bought your Sketching book, because whilst I love to paint, my drawing is not my strong point, so fingers crossed…..

Saw you on Watercolour Challenge and agree with Barbara regarding useful feedback. Found you on you tube and am now inspired to pick up my pencil and brushes again. Thank you

Great demonstration Peter, many thanks

Thank you very much!

[@marchuws4993]

Agree with Barbara too. That Ady feller was useless regarding his demonstration techniques. Keep Peter for all future series please.
