Love your style. Don’t know how the algorithm brought you to my feed, but I’m glad. Haven’t painted my watercolors for over 20 years, but our empty nest & your inspiring style is making me crack out the paints again. Thanks for that🚒

For anyone curious... 🤔 The bucket is normally used for Mr. MustardPants to haul all of his plein aire supplies down and upstairs again where his art studio is located. He had recently discovered a Robin's nest with eggs inside in the bottom of the bucket though, so he's had to haul everything (easel included) down the main staircase in order to capture the grand mountain view from his front porch. (What a nice guy, eh?!) 🫶😊

[@garyfrederick8419]

Thanks for the great note. Great story line. Mr.Mustard Pants! I think I will build on that.

Hi Gary, and Happy New Year! I am brand new to your channel and I am thrilled with your style. Thank you for sharing with us. My mom did many needle point works in a similar theme. I am new to sketching and watercolour so the more wobbly/crocked the better. Bravo to your talent 👏🏼

Hey so it’s your painting and just leaving it and see what comes out 😆 I love your comments on your own painting! I’m happy when I watch your process 😃 far more creative than you thought 🤣 yeh I’ll take the complement too! I looked for some of the brushes you use and off another KZbinr found this company Rosemary and co. They make handmade brushes when I found the rigger and mop brushes, not expensive, from the uk…🙏🏽🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏽Mia Happy New Year to you!

[@garyfrederick8419]

Glad you liked it. Sounds like you watched the whole thing. I would love to get a few more Rosemary and Co. brushes but it is just too expensive to ship them over here.

Just wanted to say that I enjoy your paintings so much. I began watercolor a year ago but I struggle with getting things “perfect.” Watching you draw and paint your whimsical houses has helped me to relax and get over the hump of trying to be perfect. I have been able to copy some of your houses. So thank you so so much.♥️

[@garyfrederick8419]

so glad you enjoyed it. art is supposed to be fun.

Love the joy in your paintings! Can you tell me what liner brush you're using please? It looks so controllable when you use it! 😂

[@garyfrederick8419]

Thank you. I think you are referring to my Rosemary & Co #1 rigger brush. I use it for small trees and branches.

[@shancan6328]

Love the bird sounds rather than music! A reason for mustard colored pants? : ) Also I loved that you included a hanging bucket. I was sure it was going to be a light. See you next time.

[@garyfrederick8419]

thank you so much. answer to the mustard pants is in the previous video.

[@shancan6328]

I watched that one too last night and saw your explanation then. My brother had mustard swim trunks too. He slid down a slippery small dam with his cousin a bunch of times and wore a hole in each "cheek". hahaha End of those trunks.@@garyfrederick8419

[@kevinlaing8712]

Lovely. And no cauliflowers at all in those washes. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Kevin. I learned something this year. Paint an area with as few strokes as possible and then just leave it. Don't fiddle with it.

Thanks for the tip. Yes, less fiddling probably. Time to experiment.@@garyfrederick8419

Love to watch and listen while you paint! Do you ever use a blow dryer to speed up the drying, or do you just let it dry on its own?
