Oh my gosh, what a fabulous painting. I can’t even imagine trying this. I love the effect of negative painting but I always get lost trying to do it. I would love to see sort of a beginner’s guide to negative painting.

Good point about the analogous colors. That's easy to forget when you're just thinking "ah, yes. Now for the shadows". Lol, even though my cousins were extras in Killer Tomatoes, I've never made the effort to see the film...

The thing that amazes me is the base colours go on all I see is a mess. And then you make it look amazing. I wind up with something that looks cartoony, and if I'm lucky it may resemble Beatrix Potter cartoony. The way you layered the colours on the tomato blew my mind, because you did it in the stages that a tomato ripens. Yellow green to orange to red, and I just never thought to use those colours in that order. If you ever think to write a book featuring your watercolour paintings I'd certainly buy a copy just to study them.

Gosh! I’m so glad I found your channel. So much information packed into a short video. I especially loved the method of being able to see your lines after the initial wash. I often lose mine so I’ll be trying that one. Also comforting to know that someone of your experience and skill levels still comes across the odd challenge. Thank you 🙏

Gorgeous example! I was literally holding my breath to see if you'd keep the yellow reflection on the right side of that first tomato 😆. So satisfying! Thanks for reiterating the lesson on using analagus colors to keep the colors vibrant, I'm still learning how to handle shadows. I've enjoyed the silver brushes for years thanks to your recommendations. Enjoy the rest of your summer! 1 Corinthians 10:31

This is gorgeous. Thank you for the tips about using analogous colors to maintain color intensity (as opposed to using complements or neutral tones). That was new for me, and I can't wait to try it out. You make it look easy-maybe cut that out?! ;-) Or maybe throw in a quick clip of you breaking a sweat at least?

Oh that’s simply beautiful leaves and cherry tomatoes! It was a wonderful surprise from your landscapes. I am surprised by the technique that you used to do an all over wash with the watercolor pencils and then using the color pencils with the watercolor. I have done a Red & Green Tomatoes painting without any watercolor pencils or color pencils. I’m definitely going to have to give this technique a try. Your teaching style is a joy to watch & learn from. Thanks again for making watercolor painting fun and challenging. Tell your wife well done on growing tomatoes this summer. Our didn’t make it ever, even with watering due to the excessive heat we are experiencing now in Mississippi.

Beautiful! I remember my art teacher in high school teaching us about looking at ALL the colors that often make up whatever we see. This is so basic, but critical for anyone desiring to paint in a more accomplished way, whether as a serious hobbyist or professionally. I recall that you used to teach art 🖼 and I can sometimes hear that “art teacher” in you come out…and that’s a good thing. 👍Thanks, Steve!

Pure magic! Those are the only words I can say to express how I felt as you applied each brush stroke. From the deep greens accentuating each of the leaves to the bright yellows under the warm and cool reds of each tomato. Just pure magic. I must try this, just to challenge myself. Your talent is beyond amazing. Thanks ever so much for sharing.

Thanks for this, Steve. I watched as you painted those amazing leaves, and thought, "Wow!!" I watched life being breathed into those tomatoes, and I thought, "Wow! I think I need to get out my paints and do some refresher work on glazing!" I do it, but it's a long time that I did it for still life. I have to add that because of circumstances, it's quite a while since I did any painting of my own - it's been mostly sketching and coloured pencil, and prepping work for the students... Once it's cooler, I'm determined to be out there painting again, in part because of your masking fluid video and this one, both re-wetting my appetite for big, fluid washes on big watercolour paper and beautiful glazes.... Thank you again, Steve, for this, reminder of what I've been missing and for the verses you add at the end.

Sensei , in a couple weeks I'm going camping and I'm taking 100% cotton paper with me Thank you for all the input, I don't get to water color too often but every time I want to, I make sure I listen to as much as I can by you before I do, taxi driving don't leave much relaxed time to do any color much less water color, that I absolutely like best to enjoy, Greek Island most are the same this one is sandy sparse foliage much ocher right down in to the red ochers that the saltwater brings out just at the wet points, I do believe I have all the right colors, should I narrow them down limit, I got this sweet olive green by Rembrandt plenty of yellows even some Indian yellow, a one inch soft brush and a pointy soft brush that also can carry plenty,,I don't know why also a Filbert is calling me out 🤣 🙏🌊🔱🌪🌪🌪
