I have heard the coffee, tea, butter thing multiple times but you are the first person who took the time to show examples. Thanks

[@rachelparkervarner]

Glad it was helpful Ellen!

[@polgara28]

Thank you, Rachel for demonstrating this VERY valuable lesson so well! ❤

[@rachelparkervarner]

Thank you to Joseph! He's the amazing one.

[@TheTerrylwg]

In all my years of studying and painting with watercolor, I have never heard of this. It will be a game-changer for me for sure. Thanks!

[@rachelparkervarner]

Yes it's definitely a game changer!

[@eleniphotos]

Super informative, I tend (still) forget about the paper wetness & paint consistencies even though I know it. Moist, moist, moist. LOL You never fail to crack me up!

[@rachelparkervarner]

Haha I'm impressed you watched to the tippy end so thank you!

[@Pablo_Anunnaki]

Great. I needed a live example for this clock. Maybe I'll paint again. Greetings from Bolivia.

[@rachelparkervarner]

I do hope you will get those brushes wet!!

[@suel4269]

I wish I knew this 6 yrs ago. Thankyou ❤

[@rachelparkervarner]

Yes, I teach it in every tutorial, but this clock makes all that information come together as a cohesive whole!

[@joykruczay]

Wonderful explanation of vitally important techniques. seeing the theory "in action" was really helpful. When I saw the "watercolor clock" video, I thought it was going to be the late Terry Madden's (PBS watercolor artist) color clock. He refers to the color wheel aw a "color clock". To avoid muddy colors, one should only mix colors withing so many "hours' of the primary mixer. Sorry this is a bit off topic. Thanks again for your great content.

[@polgara28]

That brought back so many good memories! RIP TM ❤

[@rachelparkervarner]

Oh that's interesting!!

[@michellerosenbaum5960]

This is so helpful! Thank you for sharing this information. I’m self taught and I’m going to make note of these variations.

[@rachelparkervarner]

My pleasure! I'm self taught too.

[@ingam3310]

Another excellent video. Thank you Rachel.

[@rachelparkervarner]

My pleasure! I'm major fan girling over Zbukvic right now haha.

[@travisnobleart]

For those of us that work with non-watercolor paper, this is helpful for visualizing paper limits too.

[@rachelparkervarner]

That makes sense!

[@deborahtaylor7902]

good stuff Rachel!!! thanks!

[@rachelparkervarner]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@CharlesCherryWatercolors]

Great summary of the watercolor clock. Thanks!

[@rachelparkervarner]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

Ohh wow I’m going to have to get this book! I have really enjoyed learning about this way of painting levels for the brush & paint ratio for marks, techniques, textures, & effects. Your earlier videos about the consistency of paint was my favorite video & the biggest help for my painting success! Thanks for sharing this wonderful information with us! ❤😊

[@joykruczay]

I immediately looked up this book. Available on Amazon for $253.

Addendum (as I could not edit comment) - Copies on eBay for $300, one bid for $200 in a current auction.

@@suel4269 It's been out of print for quite some time. You'd think they'd do a re-print, as popular as this book is!

[@polgara28]

If you google "mastering atmosphere and mood in watercolor pdf" the first link (for me, anyway) should take you to Internet Archive. You can page through the book and read it. I took screen shots of the pages I wanted. HTH!

[@GingahSnapsArt]

Super handy way to visualize it! Cheers

I think he invented this whole concept. Correct me if I am wrong. He is brilliant!!! Absolutely brilliant.

[@rachelparkervarner]

He might have!

Hi Rachel, where did you get your book from or where it can be purchased from?

[@justherehello]

Do you talk about the watercolor clock on your patreon? Is there a video there that has this process put into practice?

[@rachelparkervarner]

I've used this approach to painting for years and years. It's just that the watercolor clock is a great way to illustrate it.

[@SuperExadidas]

I am just new subscriber in your channel, may I know what is your comment about the book of Joseph Zbukvic and where did you buy it? Thanks.

[@rachelparkervarner]

I have had that book for years. Now it is hard to get and very expensive, but you can see the free digital version in a link posted in above comments.

Rachel I’m an oil painter learning watercolor. I really appreciate your beefy, data rich art tips many of them apply to all painting media. Question ; do you have the link to Joseph Zbukvic’s online out of print book? Thanks❤️
