I am really enjoying the lessons. Question: do you ever leave the white of the paper for the light of an area? Thanks

[@paigek720]

It's as if you read my mind, I was hoping you'd cover this topic! YAY!

[@stephanieashworth6317]

Love this tutorial and the way you call your colors by name with such love!

Such a great teacher. Thanks Matthew.

[@learntopaintwatercolor]

Thank you!

Thank you so much Matt. I watched the video first and later after work am going to try painting it myself. This is one of my favorite scenes to paint, but I struggle with pigment strength and my tonal values - on my own - my work comes out 'flat' looking. Your a great teacher and the way you explain each step and why, is really helping me. I will keep practicing! Hope you have a great day!

[@learntopaintwatercolor]

Great! You have a great day as well!

Wonderful technique ❤, saw another artist do the same begin with defining the reflection then paint ripple over almost like layering in Photoshop , great demo as usual Mr Mathew

Hi, thank you for a useful & clear tutorial. Have you done one in which there are more boats in one scene, ad if not, would you consider preparing one?

[@johncitizen3361]

Great tutorial thanks. I actually used the same reference photo a few weeks ago and tried painting it, there are two boats in the original a second to the right of this one, but it works better as a single boat IMO. I wasn’t happy with how I handled the background and reflection, might give it another go cropped to one boat using the tips you shared.

[@learntopaintwatercolor]

That’s right! Great photo.

[@morgenmachen2400]

You really do have a seemingly natural skill for instruction 😊 Can't wait to give this a try, as no matter how many seascapes I paint there's still so much to learn. I wanted to ask - is this CP or rough? I heard you mention the brand but not surface. Do you have a preference for landscapes? Thanks in advance!

[@learntopaintwatercolor]

Thank you! It’s CP.

[@illf.6]

I drew everything when you did it so fast and I just found out he had an explanation

[@lenagorgouni1728]

Could you tell me the colour's you use for the light area of the water? It's a wonderful painting and lesson Thank you!

[@almostacrone8046]

When I use the water method to keep my paper down when it dries it always curls back up, but yours doesn’t seem too. What are you doing differently?

[@theinker6749]

Hi my favourite artist 😅

[@learntopaintwatercolor]

👋

[@michealbohmer2871]

140 lb paper? I really wish the US would convert to metric... like everyone else😜. How many gsm is 140 lbs? Thanks for the video, though. Watercolour looks like fun. I like working in graphite, but I'd like to give watercolour a go. Even a wash would be fun.

Love your videos Matt. But I see an uptick in how many ads you have now. Interrupts the flow

[@КонстантинРязанов-г8е]

Я почему то не могу посмотреть 7 уроков.Наверное не судьба.

[@JorgeGomez-bz9hb]

Hi, your technika is great, but the boat reflection is too long. The water is like a mirror.

[@lalo4224]

waTer….. please for my ears 😉

[@kelliborges712]

Oh please, like you speak perfect English. Cut the guy some slack he’s a great painter that’s what you need to concentrate on.
