Advancing with Watercolor: A Night in Paris

[@jameslocigno1779]

Sir, I have been admiring your art for some time. Not sure why someone would give you a thumbs down for this video. Not sure why you or I should care-thumbs up, thumbs down, nonsense. I learn from you with every frame. A neophyte to painting and watercolor, I first found your narrative confusing and contradictory, like the first time a jazz musician told me that music is a language. I simply was too green and could not understand. But like jazz at a young age for me, the more I listen to you and watch and learn: understand how you build a painting, how you allow for the unexpected and choose to either use it or not; the more I learn the language of your art, it all becomes more and more clear and my appreciation for how you turn a white sheet into an expressive visual emotion just illuminates and impresses the hell out of me. Thank you for being so accessible online. You are very much appreciated.

Thank you James for your kind words and for being persistent...your feedback means a lot

[@kiaradaffa]

Watching this raise my excitement to go back to paint again I want to cry

[@GaryTuckerArtist]

I hope you will Kiara, transform those tears into beautiful watercolor passages :)

[@vyviennewade4483]

Your courses are wonderful and so generous of you to share them with all of us. You have helped me improve greatly. Thank you

[@GaryTuckerArtist]

Thx I appreciate your letting me know

[@M0odyBlue]

I love your style. It is how I long to paint. Night scenes are my favorite, but so far, they have eluded me. You make it look so easy, but I know how difficult it is. I appreciate your showing the photo. I like seeing how you’ve used it without slavishly copying it. Thank you for this informative demo and for your words of encouragement.

[@GaryTuckerArtist]

Thank you Moodty for the compliments - full disclosure - you seeing the 3rd rendition :) some subjects take a few practices :)

[@astudent1109]

Sir, you are rendering a great public service. Bravo!

Excelente capacidad de síntesis, magnífico, magistral

[@ElleVancouver]

Gary this is just a stunning piece. It is like magic and it never ceases to amaze me how a few well placed swipes of the brush can become something easily recognizable. Thank you for narrating. 1000 paintings, before I don't feel like I have to think about every thing I do. Okay 700 more to go!

Great Gary! You give me a lot of ideas and now I have to put them in order... like driving a car as you said. Thank you for share with us your knowledge

[@GaryTuckerArtist]

Thank Marco I am pleased if they are helpful

[@mchris1020]

Beautiful, rich color and shine.

[@RobertHopkinsArt]

Excellent work!!! What a pro!

[@johnhaywood6358]

This is awesome. I have so many questions! I’m going to start by sketching the scene. I think you might have a full video of this painting.

[@gatorlana]

Stunning work!! Colors are amazing, and there's nothing more beautiful than wet reflections!

[@wolfgangbenfattoum8137]

It's great to see in many of your videos how to apply the method of thinking in layers. It's a technique I still try to master and slowly get there by watching your videos. The hardest part is judging and getting the values right as every additional layer is going darker and darker. I guess that comes with more practice and experience.

[@hollowmoon9]

beautiful..thanks!

[@GaryTuckerArtist]

Thank you too!

[@jacquelinepankuck750]

[@denniswatson1830]

[@paulmooney2515]

What a beautiful painting Gary! I love your use of the complimentary colours of orange and blue. Thanks for another great video.

[@Almeys]

Great work, and a wealth of knowledge.

[@KRCanetti]

You make me want to go to Paris again. It's been too long ago. Great lesson. Even as a beginner I learn a lot. Hearing you say that after about a *thousand* paintings you will get a feeling for things doesn't scare me because I know it from other art mediums I work with / in.

[@trisht5064]

Brilliant Gary thankyou very much lots of useful information and encouragement. i loved how it came together brave moves

[@2011Kammerkormusik]

I follow all your demonstrations and I learn every day. Are getting better with loose strokes, but it so difficult for me. I know I'm getting there soon. Thank you again.

[@sherrylee6719]

Beautiful. I do wish I could see it in real time. Thank you!

[@UncleTerry]

another great lesson, thanks

[@gradedwash]

Love your style and the way you talk about the painting. Genius ;o) I am going to try this on the journey towards producing the same vibrant works.

[@theodellava]

Wow so nice 😍😍

[@alinatulliart812]

Thanks! I tried this scene three or four times already, each time getting better I think :D still not completely happy with it but I’ll be trying more again. I love this scene and color selection.

[@Margarit54]

[@montefetters]

This is why I love watercolors, Great video ,Thanks

[@jimspatz9211]

Thank you. Very helpful.

[@RobertF-]

Great painting

[@joemenzaart]

Amazing.

[@afcarranza]

Seria bueno verlo en HD

[@karenliu529]

Love your demos! Just curious, why do you paint Europe a lot? Is it because there is more demand for it?

[@ugljesajanjic]

Nice! Awesome, should I add. What camera do you use?

[@gerrylk9]

It would be nice to flash a picture of what you're painting now and again for comparison

[@paintlady2268]

Wondering if you used some sort of resist on those places that looked like dry brush effects. I ask because all of your paint looked very juicy in the first wash. Maybe the sped up video?

Interesting comments on the mental side of gaining experience. I just read a great book that goes into great depth on the subject called Incognito: The Sectret Lives of the Brain, by David Eagleman. To summarise the book: we're all robots.

[@davidm1149]

I don't see the ever-present paper towel or blotter that many artists rely on while creating. I thought that was different, possibly takes a little more bravery.

[@millenniumcorp7334]

Very interesting, and very helpful indeed.
