How to simplify a complex woodland scene in watercolour

[@donnaweintraub8769]

Nice to see you. Loved the introduction. The music was beautiful. Your subject is a good choice and extremely helpful. Thank you Mr. Pitt and family

That is a very nice and pleasant to watch and see watercolour demo Andrew. Love your palette! I know you have a Binning too. But this wooden one looks so nostalgic!

Thank you very much. This palette is about 50 years old!

@@AndrewPittArtist Hello, did you make the wooden palette? If not, what brand is it please?

[@Sherlock2022]

I like your direct approach to painting. I noticed that you didn’t paint wet-in-wet. Do you ever wet the paper first? Thanks for the video.

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Thank you. No, I very rarely wet the paper. I don’t find it necessary. The moisture on the paper dilutes the paint and makes it hard to control.

[@Sherlock2022]

@@AndrewPittArtist this could be where I’m going wrong.

I was wondering if you could discuss gum Arabic as a tool in extending the wetness of the paint, especially in outdoors where the paint does dry quick. Is this something to try or not? Also I would like to say that I am so impressed with your painting and video. I am so slow at having the vision you have , hence my question.

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Thanks for your kind comments. I have to say I am not an expert on paint and gum Arabic. I have never altered my paint but just accept what comes out of the tube. I am always wary of methods which are designed to avoid mastering the craft of painting. I’m sure if you persevere you’ll quicken up. Good luck. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

[@annettehollis2145]

Thank you, I will be watching this over and over. I can apply this to my life drawing sessions -- the same principles apply. I was so worried at the end when you adjusted the tones . . . but of course, with your skill and experience, it all worked out well. I like very much the way you talk the viewer though -- the colours you are mixing, your approach, what you are looking to achieve, the manner in which you go about laying down the pigment (I am new to watercolour!) and particularly all you have to say about assessing the subject. Thank you again for sharing -- I can see that you love to teach!

Hello from Winnipeg in Canada 🇨🇦. Andrew, thanks for another great demonstration. I was hoping to paint a forest scene, as we have plenty of Boreal forests in Canada. I was unsure about painting a forest, because of the complexity. This demonstration is a big help. By the way, I have the exact same easel. My father bought the same Winsor and Newton easel in Montreal in the 1960’s and I am using it for watercolour painting. The easel is practically new, and it saved me from having to buy a new one.

As a result, the colours do not blend top to bottom as I would like. Working on two things now: speed and more water in the mix (but then - dry brush is impossible). Loving the challenge!

Beautiful Andrew! I was just painting a similar scene on the Oregon coast. Lots of driftwood that can look very abstract. Had to do a lot of editing to make a painting out of it. Love how fresh you keep your colors. I think I need to do more of that. I tend to use too much water and not get as saturated as you do. Thanks for the lesson!

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Thanks very much. Yes, it’s worth remembering that watercolours tend to dry lighter and allow for that and water is the element that is hardest to control. Paint consistency is always difficult to judge. I often tell students to paint with watercolour not coloured water. Thanks for getting in touch. Good luck.

[@burnts1enna]

Hi Andrew, I have really enjoyed this video on scene simplification. But i am wondering if you can tell me something about the wood encased palette that you are using to paint the scene. Did you purchase it like that or did you dismantle a plastic palette and build the box around it? I would like to do the same as I have a workshop to do it in. BTW both of your books have arrived and i thoroughly enjoyed reading them. I expect i will be reading them many times. Thanks, Gordon Ringius

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Thanks Gordon. The palette I used in this video is over 50 years old - unfortunately they are no longer available. I’ve never seen one like it. I think only a few were made. It is essentially plastic wells insets encased in hard wood. The white flap is Formica, a cover used in the UK for kitchen tops. I’m sure you could produce something similar utilising a cheap plastic palette, as long as it isn’t too heavy. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

I dabble a bit in painting with acrylic, only tried watercolour as a kid 80 yrs ago. I noticed that you go with same brush to add another colour to your paintbox and your water is very ‘coloured’. Does that effect the colour you are trying to obtain? Love the result 👍👍👏👏

If you have a reasonably sized water pot I don’t think the ‘’coloured’’ water has much effect unless you have used a lot of strong, staining colours and want to use a light pure colour. More videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk
