[@tericarter2886]

Love love love the free brushwork and color Once again you have inspired me to have a go

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thanks Teri I’ve achieved my goal if my videos inspire people to paint. Thanks again.

Thank you for your beautiful watercolor demonstrations. I love landscapes and the Abandoned Farmhouse you did was my intro to your painting. Love impressionism, too! Please keep adding videos here, its been too long.😞

[@RobertHopkinsArt]

Great work! I like how the green and red vibrate together in the foreground and mid ground.

[@bessiesegal5885]

Hi Patrick Ley-Greaves, I came across you yesterday via Liron Yanconsky and I am delighted to see your beautiful watercolour paintings and tutorials. This particular one is super and loving the colours in particular. Thank you and hope to see many more.

[@victoriatucker7774]

[@kelseywood1582]

This is Great thank you so much for posting.

[@TheLeahsKitchen]

I love this painting. the flower field in the front is really nice

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thank you very much 😀

[@julijopeterson7096]

I like this painting. Especially the jagged & abstract parts of the fore trees where the branches go horizontal & where the magenta meets the dark green.

[@TropiChic]

Yes, I enjoyed it. You are where I want to be as an artist. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@MPLangerArt]

This was a delight to watch. I love the freedom you have brought to your watercolour work as a result of the oil painting. At first I thought the deep blue band in the distance was the sea but then you went in a opened the whole thing up into far away fields rimmed with trees - still strong but also delicate. The foreground is fabulous, the strong red tones, the cutting in with green! I like this one a lot. Thanks for a great video and painting experience.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thanks Patricia, it was very enjoyable to paint. Your right the distant fields were just suggested and with the addition of blue help to push it all back. Looking forward to trying the same approach on a more structured scene , buildings etc. 😀

[@julliettecarignan8563]

I find it humorous that you switched to oil painting to loosen up your watercolors since after 40 or so years of oil painting, I switched to watercolor to simplify and get a fresher effect. Perhaps any new medium or approach, such as plein air vs. studio work, can help us level up our work. Thanks for your demos!

[@viviandibrell849]

Love your videos and philosophy! Thanks!

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thanks Vivian i’m pleased it was of some help to you.

[@essietangle9931]

It’s always great to enjoy a painting come to life when the artist says that they are enjoying themself. Before you added the little detail in the distance I thought I dont know about this but at the end, WOW. Wouldn’t that be great to see this scene out the back window each day. This has been great and I have enjoyed your excitement too. Here in Texas it is very flat and mostly you see here are fields of cotton not all this beautiful color. Take care of your self and your family.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thanks Essie I appreciate your comment.I’m sure your aware being an artist yourself a painting in progress often goes through an ugly stage before coming together. Lots of artists cast it aside to early, I like to see it through to the end as I’m often pleasantly surprised by the end result.

[@paulinewilkons4071]

Thank you Patrick a delightful 30 mins spent watching a blank piece of paper turned into this lovely, colourful watercolour painting. You certainly inspire us to pick up our paints and brushes to get cracking and paint again, the urge to paint never leaves me but circumstances put a leash on me.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

That’s great Pauline I hope your able to get back to it and relax into your painting again. Just don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Have fun!

[@paulashcroft556]

Your style is really evolving Patrick, I like your expressive painting. Keep it up, inspiring!

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thanks Paul I think oil painting is really helping me find my watercolour style. Hope that makes sense!

[@toniswiffen5039]

I love this loose style, amazing painting, very inspiring, thank you

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Excellent. I really like the distant fields and trees.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thanks Robert . I’m pleased you like it.

[@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478]

Loose and free, impressionistic with a realistic feel is a great way to paint, good job Patrick 👍

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thanks Dave the oil painting has really loosened me up. Looking forward to trying the relaxed style on more structured scenes like buildings etc.

[@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478]

@@PatrickLeyGreaves oh I love doing buildings 👍

[@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478]

@@PatrickLeyGreaves think I'm opposite, my watercolours have helped me to get loose with oils. Not that I've done any oil painting for a bit but I'm sure it's gona help me

[@danielmcgowan4970]

Hi Patrick, Thank you for your interesting videos. I struggled for many years to paint loose and found a great tip and solution almost overnight. What was it? Simple! Forget your pencil and only use your brush to paint And use the biggest you can. Every success

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

That’s a great tip Daniel, can be hard to master for some but great way to loosen up.

[@imogenekluson9702]

Lovely demo! I love the freshness and the Joy it imparts. Thank you, Patrick, for the inspiration! Take care.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thank you Imogene 😀

[@heartseme]

Wonderful painting! I tried going to your eBay site. I didn’t have any luck finding any paintings. Perhaps a different link?

[@berylrose3213]

I enjoyed watching you paint this pic. Can you tell me the name of your little blue Flat brush you began the painting with please? Thank you for your instruction

[@chrismoon7758]

Thank you Patrick for another inspiring video Patrick. I've been looking for a large palette like yours where did you buy it?

[@bernadetteblanchfield7776]
