Highlights and Edges - Petworth

[@kristingoethals4330]

Thank you for this tutorial ! I watched it over and over again, because it is so important to get better paintings, but not always easy to do .

[@tezoodle]

Brilliant! Thank you! My goodness that sky is so beautiful and so real! As is the entire rest of your finished painting of Petworth and those fabulous trees and deer. Another fantastic video, thank you so much for the generous sharing of your knowledge 👏😀

[@dlillianb1368]

Such a fantastic sky!!!❤ the finished product😮, I feel as though I could walk in and spook the deer. I love the trees. Shadow work is spot on!!🎉

[@jtpaar1732]

One of the most important watercolor lessons I've heard yet. Thank you!

[@oliverapopovart3915]

For me, the tree is the star of this painting. I can't tear my eyes from it. The skill and effort are obvious throughout, but the tree is mesmerizing and unique. Thank you for sharing.

[@arkhykatenka]

@@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442 please do a demonstration or a tutorial on that! I'd really like to know how to achieve this detailed look of naked branches, but most of the tutorials focus on simplifying the tree crowns, which is much easier.

[@shannlakho4805]

Thank you Olly! Love your paintings and your style You are a wonderful teacher. Happy to have found you😊

[@mikedimples]

Gorgeous tree at the end. Incredible work

[@caroleangel9287]

I am so addicted to your excellent videos! Thank you!

[@jillianpayne8710]

What an amazing Tutor this man is. Thank you Oliver Pyle.

[@DoubleRainbows-fp6ih]

I agree

[@Suspect42]

Thank you so much! I've been trying to solve exactly this problem in a painting, to the point where I've done more than 10 versions of it trying to figure out how to get a lighter value building shape against a brighter sky, without a messy nasty edge that calls attention to itself. In my composition that part is actually the focal point so I really can't afford for it to look messy. I even gave up and tried a loose style where I didn't care so much about getting such a crisp edge between the sunlit dome and the sky, but it just didn't feel like I was describing my subject with the care and love that it deserved. This tip solved my issue perfectly!

I agree that you ought to have many more followers. No doubt you will gain many as you add to your content. I’m looking forward to more!

[@orcamum]

Lovely video, very well explained! (I'll say it again - your colours in that sky are beyond beautiful!)

[@sheilamiller5237]

Beautiful painting. In my opinion you are the best teacher of watercolor on UTube . Thank you from Cape Town.

[@NMranchhand]

What a gorgeous sky! I’ve got to find the vid in which it was painted.

[@robertboyce7016]

A Must tutorial, Mr Pyle, I love it full stop, Thank you so much for your tutorial, And thank you so much for your time, sir.

[@andystacey4760]

The finished painting is delightfully English Oliver, excellent.

[@traceygodwin2081]

Another really useful video full of hints and tips

[@ann-marielofberg1159]

OMG STUNNING, here he is, the mentor! Just by showing, encouraging us to try, want us to find out the way that we feels good and wanna do.

[@kerriclarke9366]

Great demonstrations and explanation. I am honestly learning so much from your youtube videos!

[@jaclee6]

Excellent tips, thanks for the lesson.

[@adriennesaracen6525]

Thank you Olly. Very helpful video. Gorgeous sky.

[@patriciabarsby5600]

Thank you Oliver. Once again you seem to have provided the answer to a constant problem of mine, with both the chimneys and the tree branches. I've always used masking fluid and then been unhappy that I don't get a nice edge once its removed and I often disturb the paint trying to get the edges to come together. It never looks sharp or fresh to me after I've dabbed in and such. So seeing how you simplify it this way, is a real help. Thank you so much.

[@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442]

You're welcome Patricia - some people find masking fluid really helpful, but I've just never been able to get on board with it.

[@BarbaraUK927]

Just found you and had a delightful morning watching you back catalogue, I am an absolute beginner but with water colours for Christmas I am looking forward to experimenting in 2022. Thank you

[@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442]

Excellent - thanks Barbara and Happy Painting!

[@letajones8556]

Glad I found you! Great teaching! Great art !

[@allanpennington]

Wondering if you filmed whilst painting the full sized? I appreciate the time it takes to film, edit and voice over but this painting has so much to learn from it would be absolutely fantastic to see you paint it, along with your very articulate and well thought out commentary.

[@orcamum]

@@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442 I wouldn't mind just watching you with no sound or comments or editing or music etc.

[@timk.1395]

I believe I understand this much better now. Thank you.

[@johnbowring748]

I really like your style of painting. The video was very informative. Lovely painting.

[@Wendy8888]

Another great video. Thank you.

[@isabelfernandes9449]

I love your lessons. And by the way, I love your art painting too. Thank you for share your knowledge with us.

[@joegriffin5851]

Thanks for the very useful tips. Really helpful.

[@LisaCovington-io5zi]

Brilliant, honest tutorial- thank you

[@seamus9305]

Thanks Oliver, quite inspiring.

[@khrisabuid4315]

Olly, I may have missed a bit, BUT, is the lifting out done while the paint is still wet or afterwards??

[@beebee4095]

Hello Oliver; I left a comment on part one about my fear of painting trees; so yes please do a tutorial on painting trees, for I have a hatred and fear of drawing and painting them. Thank you for your 100% brilliant tutorials. You are just magic using a stick with some hairs on it and coloured water!

[@maryf.1956]

Wonderful painting and very useful information. Thank you

[@pamelabozzi239]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I keep running into these problems and you helped me think about how to deal with them. I assume you try to use non-staining colors for the backgrounds you want to lift / chip off.

[@abdulrasheedmughal9388]

great way of teaching. thanks

[@PtarsArts]

Thanks to the teaching technique how to paint water is a very good teaching ^^

[@ogster35]

Hi Oliver, great videos, you are a busy man , do you have time to tell us the colours you used in the sky?

[@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442]

Cobalt blue, cadmium red and a little raw Sienna

[@MegaPlucas]

Do you typically always paint from the top down? Versus kind of skipping around?

[@lizday8140]

This is not yet up on your blog. Will it be added? I would love to really look (more like stare) at the finished painting.

[@lizday8140]

@@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442 Oh...my daughter wants me to get on Instagram and Twitter. Geez...I hardly post on Facebook. LOL! But, I just paused the video and I can see a pretty good view of it, there at the end. Thanks! (I thought of you a few minutes ago...a spider came down on a web beside me on the sofa. It didn't end quite like it did for your spider friend in your Controlling The Wash video.)

[@zoewhiteart7676]

Beautiful painting!

[@donnacarraway9182]

Wonderful explanation! Thank you!!

[@MarenGermany]

Great tips! Thank you.

[@letajones8556]

Beautiful !

[@barbaramain6381]

Thank you!!!

[@safi456]

I absolutely adored your value sketch, and your tips are great too. But although your finished piece was well executed, it was too precise and real for my taste. I like suggestive impressionistic watercolours which leave some bits to the viewers' imaginations. Nonetheless, very well done.

[@ena4476]

Thank you!
