Dear Shirley, thank you for this warts and all watercolour tutorial. By watching this and a few others of yours, it has helped me understand what happened to me to lose confidence with painting. I haven't painted in a long time, today thanks to this tutorial, I now understand some of the many problems I had with watercolour. Deep sigh of relief, I will use the right paper, also allowing the tubes of paint to dry out in the palette, explains why I had no control of my palette. Even using a better brush. Thank you so much. Feeling excited to have a go now that I know why I ended up in a hot mess. Awesome lesson Aubs xx

[@shirleypeters]

Aubrey Finch This is so good to hear. Love it that you are inspired to have another go. Thank you!

[@Pat206]

Not only do I love your paintings, but your humour and easiness with the small 'Opps's' ! makes me laugh and gives me more confidence. I love this painting of the rocks. Reminds me of Noosa. Thank you, Pat [Aus].

Thanks Pat. So glad you like them.

Lovely painting and video. I’ll watch it again to learn more. I’m just beginning and you were so clear. Please do more. Thank you, Judy

[@lindajohns7332]

Hi Shirley I love your style and the way you can cover up a mistake. We all make them but knowing how to cover them up is great. I love the scene and will attempt it myself. Thank you for your relaxed tutoring.

[@shirleypeters]

Thank you Linda. Nice comment!

[@lizzy9975]

There is a lesson for all of us here. I did this tutorial ages ago and tried to do it from memory. I wish I could send you a copy because it's a real doozy. Basically I've spent all afternoon looking for your channel again, because I didn't like or subscribe to your channel! I'm going to redo this on a better quality paper this time round and actually paint following your tutorial. These are awesome tutorials by the way. If I can watch, paint from memory, and get something out that resembles a sea landscape - anyone can. I cannot thank you enough. Please keep doing these. They are awesome!

[@shirleypeters]

Thank you for this comment. It's great that the videos can help.

[@cecileegeorgeson_artist]

Hi Shirley So fabulous to find you..I have been attempting to learn watercolour painting for about 6 months (basically a complete novice) . Even though I have found a few people I like to follow...not one of them live in Australia which leads to their resource photos being very different to what I have. I know techniques should be able to be applied to various topics ...I find it just adds another problem to learning. I love your style-both your painting technique and your teaching presentation. Really excited to watch this again then giving it a try . Also looking forward watching more videos. So lovely to hear that rain on the roof..hope you continued to get more!

[@shirleypeters]

I’m glad you found this useful. Rain has gone but we have enough to last till February. Thankyou!

It will be interesting with the better quality paper and with acrylics as I’ve used both over the years. Thank you so much 😊

[@mariapellegrino4815]

Hi Shirley, so happy I came across your channel. I really enjoyed learning from you. I have been trying to teach myself water colour for a while now and struggled for months. Now I’m going to try doing rocks your way. Love your gum trees. Wish we lived close so I could become a full time student of yours. I’m in the country, Victoria Australia. Looking forward to seeing more. 👍👍🤗

[@shirleypeters]

Thanks Maria! I’m not doing lessons at the moment, so you are not missing much! Vic country sounds lovely.

[@bushrarehman]

You produced a perfect painting on an imperfect paper for it. canson paper reps should give you credit. I liked and learnt the dance moves u did with your brush for the trees and foliage🤓 Also I just adored the sound of the rain in the background. No music needed. Thank you for the lovely honest video. I wasn't bored in any moment, really liked the live vibe. I love watercolor landscapes and i am always afraid of painting rocks. It's hard to make the same repetitive thing different sometimes. Esp when it's easier to do repetitive motion. I struggle in that area.

I will be catching up with your series of videos and hope to paint along with you.

Love your style. Not too tight and not too loose. AND you taught me how to put paint on and then lift it, rather than trying to place exactly the right amount in the right place to start with. My painting changed overnight, after that. Will be getting on your Patreon after Christmas. I live near the California coast and like to do landscapes, florals, etc., and this is a great style for it.thank you. One request, would you show how you iron your paintings? I’m all cockles when my paintings are done.

Beautiful!! I'm just returning to art and I dont know about watercolor....what is the difference in types of papers and how are they used differently or how do they behave differently?

[@shirleypeters]

Thankyou. Good question! I think I will do a comparison video. But in short: rough paper is easier to paint on. Smooth papers are ideal for fine black lines and even, flat colour. The more expensive papers are robust and easier to work on. The cheaper ones absorb colour too easily and show “tide” marks. Definitely worth a video.

I just bumped into this video and was amazed at your studio, supplies and techniques. I am a beginner artist and can't afford top quality paint and paper, which results in frustration when the painting doesn't turn out like one of the masters. It then takes a lot of convincing to start another one. Have you been through such phase? How can I keep at it even if results are unsatisfying.

[@shirleypeters]

There are cheaper papers, but they still cost dollars! I like to use them just to demonstrate that you don’t need the expensive gear.

[@howlingwind1937]

Thank you for sharing your video, I really liked your painting. Have you used water based crayons like lyra, I've been experimenting with them even though I don't consider myself a water colourist, my experimental pictures are coming up not too shabby! But I'm interested in how you would maybe use them, because as I said water colour isn't really my medium so I'm probably doing it all wrong, even if I am having fun! So would you consider doing a video on using these water colours or some other brand please. Thank you. Cheers from Tasmania!

Interesting. I’ll try it.

[@laceandloom]

Hi Shirley! Thank you for this video! Question - you squeeze tube paint out, then let it dry in the palette. I’ve heard (don’t remember the source) that tube paints aren’t made to re-wet like pan paints. Is that true? I have palettes from both sides of the fence, and don’t seem to have a problem, but I am a certified beginner. Thoughts?

[@shirleypeters]

The only way to use tube paints is to squeeze them into pans and let them totally dry. I have also heard that it’s not what they are designed for, but I don’t agree. You would end up using them too thickly if you squeezed straight from the tube. I have a video on preparing your watercolour palette. Have a look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYazhopjiJl6jLM
