Thanks greatly Charles for sharing how you prepare and achieve amazing details in the painting, enjoyable video as always and intrigued how you explained calmly how acrylics performs so different to watercolour paints. Thanks greatly appreciated stay safe and healthy

[@charlesevans7706]

Thank you very much indeed.

[@leannepattullo7187]

I’m one of the many who asked you to paint horses so thank you so very much Charles - this was an absolutely beautiful painting demo

[@charlesevans7706]

I’m pleased to have been of help.

[@annettefournier9655]

Yay! Horses on the beach! Thank you Charlie and Gail. Yeah those old boots were a fight to get off. I replaced them with a ones with full length zips up the back with little heavy duty elastic gussets down the length. Nice give and easy on and off. Especially since my legs by days end would have swollen a bit. Loved half chaps over paddock boots best. 😉 Gorgeous work Charlie!

[@charlesevans7706]

Soo pleased you enjoyed it.

[@alisonthomson7930]

Thank you Charles. We asked for the horses and you were very generous to share your talent. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you, Gail for the great camera work.

[@sheilat7497]

This has been the best video ever for me! I so struggle with acrylics to the place of almost giving up and am afraid of watercolors because if I make a mistake, well you know. This is the best of both worlds. many thanks for your very clear instructions on mixing of colors and great camera work. I'll try to adapt this to all of my efforts.

[@charlesevans7706]

[@sheilat7497]

just finished the horses, tho I admit that I traced the subjects, but your instructions are perfect. By using ACRYLICS on paper I have the first painting that I'm really pleased with, my families comments are "you're really getting good" so even with cheating a bit I'm excited. I'll try to use this method on all of my paintings. SO many thanks,again.

[@charlesevans7706]

So pleased you enjoyed it. Not cheating, it’s practising!

Thank you for the tutorial. I have often admired the painting of horses behind you. I think horses are the most beautiful creatures but can I draw them - can I heck as like - all the knobbly bits on the leg. I will now have another go. Thanks again.

[@davidvernon9473]

Hello Charles I’ve just discovered your site. I love the painting of the horses on the beach. You sound as if you’re from Yorkshire. I have a mom that was from Sheffield. I’ve been to Yorkshire many times it is the greatest place I’ve ever been. ❤ I have a cousin in Doncaster. I will be enjoying watching all of your paintings and hearing you. Let us all know a little about you David V

[@charlesevans7706]

Yes Yorkshire born and bred, but lived in Northumberland for 30 years. You don’t want to know about me, I’m just a painter!

[@bobadkins7377]

I really like this one, I had commented about the three horses that you had behind you in some previous videos. This one, I watched twice. You’ve caught the riders in very natural positions rather than bolt upright, which really adds to the painting. And again, very fine shadows. May have to try this one. Thanks.

[@charlesevans7706]

Pleased you enjoyed it.

[@georgeforrest6811]

That one is the biggest challenge yet Charles. I think a few practice sketches first. Then a day when I have the house to myself before I could attempt that one. Just when I get the hang of boats you throw in a horse lol. Great picture and demo thanks once again. Take care.

[@charlesevans7706]

Plenty of practice is good. Take your time with the drawing!

[@EventHorizon618]

Brilliant! Is this subject harder to paint in watercolour?

[@charlesevans7706]

No, not particularly.

[@Azure_Jewel]

Are your paints fixed with any type of medium? I wasn’t aware acrylic could be applied this thin - sky. I’m new

[@waymire01]

It's because of the difference in the binder.. acrylic uses.. well acrylic lol. Watercolor uses traditionally gum arabic, although some newer brands use synthetic glycol. Both are much more soluble in water than the acrylic, and neither dries to a permanent layer. Acrylic is water soluble when wet but permanent when dry, and can actually break down if you use it too thin.. which is why they have glazing, floating, and thinning mediums.

[@charlesevans7706]

Yes.
