How To Plan Your Watercolor Washes 5

[@MB-kf3yx]

Very helpful to see how you approach the scene, the sequence of washes, and how you manage edges. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Oliver, thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of our hearts for this series. So many creators gatekeep this level of tutorial behind paywalls. I'm always reluctant to shell out money for that type of thing, because I don't know what I'm getting. You are very generous to share your techniques with the world, and you are doing a service to the collective spirit of art-making itself! I hope that your generosity finds its way back to you in abundance!

[@carolpursley2901]

Love how you have shown all the layers required in this painting. I have watched many watercolor videos and have learned so much more about landscapes from you. Thanks for your time.

[@paulbridson9672]

Fantastic series of tutorials. Thank you so much for giving your time to share these with us budding artists. I am learning so much and can't wait for the next installment

[@alantaylor344]

I just love the distance you create in your landscapes. The choice of colour mixes add to the reality of the scene. Thank you again for sharing your skill set and techniques. Excellent.

[@SaskiavL61]

So happy to see the continuation of this painting. And so very educational, I am taking notes and soaking it all up. Thank you so much.

[@seijatuomainen9062]

This series has really brought together all the exercises you have shown in the earlier videos. Manage edges, Defining light with dark put on negatively around.. Just amazing to see it in use! Thank you for it all!

[@nadjajohansson8569]

This whole series is fantastic, but this particular episode is quite spectacularly good. It may be the best watercolour video I've seen. A great gift from a real pro.

[@adriennesaracen6525]

Thanks so much Olly. I’m getting so much out of this series of videos. They are an antidote to ‘Learn how to paint X in 10 minutes’, which always exasperates me. Watching you use negative painting, rather than masking fluid is so helpful. Eagerly anticipating the book.

[@nellyfaich4639]

Thank you very much for such a usefull and interesting new video. Looking forward to the next lesson.

[@glendapowers28]

So many thanks for your timely process descriptions. I wish that my mind were younger and could take in and remember all the good information that you give. Hopefully, as time progresses, your lessons will solidify my practices!

[@lynnmartin8260]

It's such a joy to listen and watch you articulate and illustrate your vision of this scene. It gives me the fortitude and inspiration to tackle landscape painting again. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@helenshields3740]

I really appreciate your organized approach to painting. This series is not only helping me slow down but allowing me to accept that it’s okay to do so and encouraging me to put more thought and planning into my paintings. I’m looking forward to both the remainder of the series and the release of your new book. Thanks Oliver.

[@Mouse-mz5xx]

Thanks for walking through this set of paintings on washes and edges. It’s really opening a few doors of hope for me to chase these skills and apply them to my paintings. I’m only a beginner but I am so inspired by your talent and so appreciative that you can share it with us to move us on in our journey to be better artists.

[@hArtyTruffle]

Thankyou Olly. Really helpful info. I love the pace and your teaching in general. Look forward to the next part. 👌🏼

[@barbaragemin5117]

Mesmerizing Oliver. With such few colours you’ve achieved harmony. Looking forward to the next video.

[@Dianne-r5p]

Thank you. I’ve enjoyed this series of tutorials very much. This has been the most inspiring so far!

[@erikdsalvesen]

Superb, Olly! It is so useful to witness in "realtime" how you're planning your wash sequences and how you decide and plan your hard/soft edges. I missed out on the live chat for this one, but hope to catch you in the next one!

[@Richard-ou6uw]

Thanks Oliver really nice of you to take the time to share your experience with us 👍👍🥃

[@corallall]

Amzng!!! Just amazing!!! Was helpful I learned one nuance!!!

[@michaelsigler5820]

I love your painting and thanks for taking time to show each step. I can't wait to try all these techniques

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

Oliver, thank you for this video! I never plan my paintings, by God’s grace they still turn out quite lovely. But I really need to be much more disciplined with planing my paintings before hand 😊.

[@hArtyTruffle]

I’ve set my alarm but if I don’t catch the live, I’ll watch tomorrow. Looking forward to watching the darks bring this painting to life. 👌🏼

[@janewineinger1569]

Whew! What a hair-raising time for me watching! Your steadiness and anticipation of what to paint next are my take-away today!

[@johnalves5345]

really helpful, and love the way you utilize negative painting to form new layers .. genius

[@KevinS-dx6hh]

Thank you very much for your time Olly; great video, and I'm looking forward to your book too.

[@Алексей-з2ч1н]

Super helpful video! Especially, many thanks for the trees!

[@smallbones13]

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! Looking forward to the next one. All the best to you.

[@gumptiongun]

Diamond as ever Ollie.

[@Carolyn-zm8eo]

I can’t wait for your book to arrive! More of your clear instruction is so welcome!

[@red2843]

Thank you so much for teaching ! Ohio here 🌞

[@ruthward9626]

Thank you for this tutorial, Olly. Both fascinating & informative.

[@noelnicholls3622]

Wonderful to watch you at “work” and seeing the image coming to life. So much to observe and to learn from you sharing your skills. Thank you so much. Any word on the release of your book?

[@renskee.jellema8697]

Good evening, Olly and thank you for your tutoring! I am very much looking forward to reading your book!

[@AlysonEvans-x3q]

Great series!

[@dorothywicks9271]

Thanks Olly..So informative and to me quite breathtaking how you create the depth in this painting that is soooo pleasing to view. The colours and edges are amazing and how you explain the process is remarkable. I hope my little ole brain will retain what i have just seen. Looking forward to the next video and of course your book. Cheers from Australa

[@catweasel5166]

That looks a great place for building houses. They’d have a lovely view.

[@kathymaree5871]

Oliver, I’d really love to see the reference photo while you’re working if possible so I can reference what you’re doing. Thank you so much for learning heaps.

[@Gethril]

What KZbin should be. Glorious.

[@chiarasolari-z5o]

Wow what an amazing series of tutorials. It is exactly what I needed and was looking for at this stage in my watercolor journey. Oliver you are an amazing teacher. Your instructions are so clear and detailed. Thank you so much for sharing knowledge you have gained from years of experience. It is incredibly generous of you. I have pre ordered your book as well to show my gratitude and support for your art and your teaching. So happy to have discovered you. 🙏🏻

[@llipton6956]

Thank you Olly! Such excellent, meticulous instruction. I am loving watching this beautiful scene take shape and look forward to your next installment! It looks like you are using Rosemary & Co Kolinsky Sable series 8, is that correct? Would you mind sharing what sizes you are using? It looks like they hold a fabulous amount of paint, but what I found wonderful to see is that they can deposit tiny amounts where needed even when the brush is full! Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise and inspire us!!

[@TwoBuddhasMeditation]

Another great lesson. The background music is little distracting though. Your voice with silence is perfect contrast!

[@valeriegehling4358]

Look forward to following you later.Thanks

[@heronalvarez3600]

Gracias Maestro!

[@susanhunter4173]

Somehow, in previous videos, I missed the tilt of your board. It appears to be just a slight slope. I put a leather covered map weight (known to drafters as a leather burger) on my desk to raise the upper part of my blocks or board about an inch. Is this what I think I am seeing in the flat medium of a video? I find it very difficult to paint on an upright easel, because my hand keeps bumping into it. I have ordered your book: it sounds so exciting. So many other books about watercolor are boring, because they don't vary the subject matter or are sort of vague on issues of pigments or composition. Thank you for this continuation of your excellent series.

[@birgitwinkler5495]

Thank you, Oliver, what a fine work! You have a very interesting palette, what is it?

[@niafer9444]

It looks like the palette I had my eye on, the FW Studio Palette from The Little Brass Box Company.

[@Sherlock2022]

Good evening, Ollie. Do you always plan your painting in this way, or do you sometimes take a more direct approach, ( for want of a better word)? Thanks.

[@fareehanazeer2368]

I am here but its not starting 😢 waited like crazy 😂
