How To Plan Your Washes 6

[@PetrMores-hn9nz]

This is something truly special: as the series progresses, the number of views decreases but on the other hand, you know that those who persevere are the selected few who really are into watercolor and not just superficially "inspirational" entertainment, dressed up as tutorials. Infinite thanks to Mr. Pyle for not minding the numbers and serving top quality educational content to those who are interested enough to sit through several hours of watching a master paint.

Добрый день мистер Плэйн! Спасибо за Ваши мастер-классы! С большим удовольствием смотрю на Ваше акварельное волшебство.

[@adriennesaracen6525]

I’m continuing to find this series of videos incredibly helpful. Thanks so much for these tutorials.

[@lynnmartin8260]

Malcolm Gladwell wasn't far off when he said you need 10,000 hours for mastery. We need the techniques so articulately displayed by you and then we need to put in the work. Thanks so much, Ollie, for this series!

[@jonathanwarrenberg9260]

Good evening from sunny Yorkshire, England😂 you've caught me painting Christmas cards tonight.

[@chiarasolari-z5o]

I am so happy to have discovered you. I live in Marin county California and the landscape is beautiful here. I have wanted to paint it forever. You have taught me how to appreciate it and the skills to render it with my watercolors. And you have a great British sense of humor which I miss dearly being a Brit living in America. Thank you so much Mr Oliver Pyle 😊

[@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442]

You're very welcome - all the best with your paintings, it's always best to paint the locations that are close by and inspire you.

[@nadjajohansson8569]

Another brilliant video in this excellent series. The way you dealt with that overlap made me say "aha!" out loud! And I was horrified when you started glazing over that perfectly rendered riverbank, only to immediately relax, as it came out so good.

[@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442]

Thank you! It's always a heart-in-the-mouth moment with glazing like that!

[@yvonnegeelen6571]

I never realised how much planing and thinking that goes on when you paint a picture I am really loving how you explain so much Thankyou for sharing your talent

[@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442]

Thanks. Much of it feels automatic to me, in the normal course of painting, so it has been quite interesting from my perspective to take a step back and attempt to articulate the thought process.

[@paul-oram]

Very informative. Thankyou for making all the effort to produce this series.

[@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442]

You're most welcome Paul - thank you

[@noelnicholls3622]

Amazing series. So much information for the painting journey. Very inspiring Ollie, but quite exhausting to watch!

[@c.reyesc.6709]

great video! thanks for sharing the process for a real painting with complexities and stages

[@adrianla-garde7733]

This is a really instructive series, and great seeing your step by step approach. Also refreshing to hear someone being honest and saying watercolour is not easy and needs much practise! It's taken several months with hours of practising for me to just get to a point where colour mixing is instinctive, and I've not really produced any worthwhile picture yet!

[@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442]

Thank you. It is difficult, but anything worth practising usually is. It's not a great selling point for most that need to sell online lessons and workshops, and that's why you see so many advertised with comments like 'paint like a pro in 3 months' or 'achieve success 10 times quicker with this secret.' None of it is true, and it is why I receive so much communication from those who are frustrated with their lack of progress when in fact they are doing well.

[@adrianla-garde7733]

Absolutely! In fact one of the best lessons you gave was early this year was the one about doodling ... it was a game changer for me!

[@felicitycrowe6971]

Yet another wonderful, instructive video - thank you so much ! If I might make a suggestion (I don’t even know if this would be possible), I would’ve found it very helpful in this video to have the reference photo zoomed in to the boat area where you were painting today as I found it difficult to discern a lot of the detail in the photo to which you were referring. My eyesight is not too bad and I am watching on a standard size iPad and I had the video playing on the full screen, so I had maximised my ability to enlarge it. Usually, I am absolutely fine following along with a reference photo just in the corner, but for the detail sections in shadow it was just a bit difficult…or maybe my eyesight isn’t as good as I think it is and everyone else could see every detail in the photo perfectly adequately!🤣🤣🤣 Anyway, it was just a thought. Thank you once again for your excellent instruction 😊

[@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442]

Thanks for the suggestion Felicity

[@sharonmoore513]

Yes, I agree, the reference photo would be better zoomed in on the area that is been worked on, if that is possible. Otherwise another brilliant video. Thank you for Sharing. Can't wait for the next one.

[@Lightw81]

I took a screenshot from the start of one of the earlier videos so I can use it as a reference.

[@felicitycrowe6971]

@@Lightw81 did you print it out or do you have two devices and have the photo on one whilst watching on the other?

[@Lightw81]

@@felicitycrowe6971 two devices. I watch KZbin on my TV and have the screenshot on a tablet.

[@valeriegehling4358]

Lovely. I do like your paintings style very much & I need much practice, hope one day to reach a fraction of the colour you get, on my paper too. Thanks.

[@SusangaddisNet]

I love this series, Oliver. When do you think you might have them all up on Patreon so we can watch them without the ads?

[@elizabethsolart]

Yes!!! I successfully stayed awake to tune in live 😊

[@shahzadqurashi7728]

Great lesson ❤️

[@heronalvarez3600]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 bien!! Regalo de Navidad !!

[@kellyluk73]

This is a great series. Thanks so much Oliver. One suggestion about all the videos- the audio is quite soft compared to the ads so when my TV volume was adjusted so I can hear your commentary, the volume went through the roof when the ads came on. Is it possible you could turn up your video volume? If you watch your videos on KZbin, you would know what I mean, thank you so much!

[@BethDevito]

Oliver, this series of your tutorials and I’ve been enjoying them so much, and learning a lot! Will there be #7? Merry Christmas!

[@julliettecarignan8563]

I'm loving this series, leaning so much, looking forward to each new episode. I was surprised to see that you painted the reflections of the riverbank with horizontal strokes. Since the reeds are vertical elements, I'd think their reflections would be expressed with vertical strokes, so I'd like your thoughts on your decision since I'm probably missing something and you explain so well. (I'm guessing it was so you could use the reflections to connect the left back with the right bank and its boats?)

[@Sherlock2022]

I noticed that the video was available earlier in the day, but I’ve come back to it now for the live chat.

[@hummelsumm1331]

Oh No, Oliver comes in German now. Strangely enough, I cannot change the video language setting on my android tablet. On my mobile it works. So, I have to watch you on the small Screen. Love your wonderful English so much. Maybe, someone has a hint here. Already searched and googled the issue without success. 😢

[@lilja8391]

Bonjour Oliver et merci beaucoup pour la traduction orale en Français !

[@fatemehkarimi-k7g]

amazing

[@michaelsigler5820]

Thank you

[@rose-sk2qv]

I know I should plan, but I get excited and then lose where I'm going with it, or the size of the paper . But mostly I think I struggle with depth

[@elizabethsolart]

Evening oliver, what brush are you using here?

[@adrianla-garde7733]

In case Oliver doesn't reply... if you zoom in you can see they are Rosemary & Co sables. I have some of their cheaper sable synthetic mix brushes and they are excellent quality brushes.😂

[@elizabethsolart]

@adrianla-garde7733 Thankyou for replying. I tried to zoom in but it would seem my poor WiFi quality makes it too blurry. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

[@Arte_e_design]

Why I heard you speaking in italian?

[@argantsylvie3596]

Mais pourquoi ce titre mal traduit en français alors que je sais lire/écouter et parler l'anglais et que je n'ai rien demandé ??? Washes is not 'lavages" mais LAVIS (mot technique).

[@watercolorista]

Please, how can I disable this horrible German audio translation?????? This is so bad!!! Your British English is so good to understand for us here in Germany and when needed the translated subtitles are always available. But please stop this horrible bad audio translation! How can I disable that and hear your original voice please????😢
