The REAL SECRET to watercolour painting is explained and simplified in this easy to understand tutorial. The key is really focusing on paint consistency of the paint and the dryness of the paper.

______________________________
This watercolour painting technique is as accessible for beginners as it is to advanced painters.
If you're looking to advance your watercolor painting; or you find yourself asking the question, "How do I Improve my Watercolors?", my hope is this will really help you out!!:)
And I hope with the whiteboard approach, and examples, that this can be watercolour painting theory made SIMPLE.
So much of watercolour painting can be made easy when we really evaluate paint consistency and the stages of drying on our paper. This is where the Watercolour Clock comes in.

__________________________
This approach is a watercolour technique for beginners, right through to more advanced watercolourists. Constantly going back to this to relearn, and reapply will do nothing but good for my own watercolour painting.
I do honestly believe that if you can wrap your head around this single most important thing in watercolour (or as I say, the two most important things in watercolour), you will improve your own paintings very quickly!

And, just seen the question about future topics, you may have covered this in the ensuing years, but I struggle MOST OF ALL with landscapes. I would love to do one for my husband whose favourite paintings are landscapes. He’s very generously complimentary when I present him with one, but it would be nice if I could do one we both like. I really love your loose style, but don’t paint a bit loose however hard I try. That’s because I don’t have the consistencies right. Thanks anyway. Take care, have a great day 👍🏼

Then I just watched this. The clock is a really good way of showing all the stages. You said something that really speaks to me: you still have to have a feel for it, and after 18 months I know that I don’t have that feel at all. BUT, you also said to practice, a lot, and even though I’ve done over 400(!) paintings in those 18 months, and pleased with maybe 50 of them. Still a good number I know, but to me it seems more good luck than management if you know what I mean. I don’t mean I want to manage the magic of watercolour - but I don’t create the environment for that to happen. Anyway, I’m all fired up and enthusiastic, so I’ll keep trying. Thanks for the videos. I’m loving them.

So well explained, I have intuitively learned some of this the hard way but it is nice to see it all put together concisely. If there was one video I would recommend to a relatively new watercolourist it would be this. One thing I really struggle with is the transition in values between layers.

Very helpful explanation. I am not familiar with "marmaid". Is this the paint right out of the tube also known as mass tone? It looks in the video that "marmaid" it is still being mixed on the pallette. I live in an arid climate and paper goes from wet to damp very quickly. So this will be helpful while painting. So many things to pay attention to! Thanks!

Thanks Debrah, so glad it was useful! “Marmite” is basically neat paint, straight out the tube, or maybe a bit of moisture but kind of sticky / buttery in feel. Yes I might still mix it in palette but simply baking sure there’s very little water in it :) Yes, a lot to think about at once. Especially when it’s warm and/or dry we have even less time...:)

Hi Tom Luv this tutorial. My problem is knowing when to go wet on dry or wet on wet etc. A lot of videos never show the switch. i.e. as a whole or just part of the painting bob

Hi Robert. Thanks for a great comment, so glad it helps. I really think paint consistency and wetness of page is a great thing to wrap your head around in watercolour as a medium...any variation of wet into wet, damp into damp etc will always give lovely soft edges for shadows or to create atmosphere and depth...wet over dry is great for slightly sharper details or more sharp cast shadows (all though you can of course soften edges as well as do big wet into wet washes over dry ones, but hopefully this video gave some good examples of the interaction :) T

Tom, what has always been a mystery to me is how the artist can look at a photograph (realistic) and sort of translate it into a painting (abstract). What are you doing during this transition? Is it separation of tonal values, combined with color harmony? Do you always have a plan before touching brush to paper? Please elaborate on this. It may get some of us over the hump of overworking things when being tempted to make our painting look realistic enough but still painterly. Thanks!

A great question!!! With a very long answer,...I’ll try my best quickly here but it is a great topic for a video, so I will do a video tutorial in exactly that!!:)....tonal values are a huge one. Squinting and simplifying them. Working out the important ones that need to be accurately shaped and which ones can be much free ....I have a rough destination in mind and a rough route...but both the destination and route can change as we go.... The biggest problem I see amongst students is giving everything the same level of importance and feeling like they have to put everything in just because it’s in the subject, and make it exactly like the subject. For me though, the biggest question to ask is.. “What attracted me to this subject? What am I trying to achieve?” When you come up with an answer you can instantly simplify or leave out all together, anything that isn’t in alignment with that. You can pick a focal point to make a little more realistic a and simplify everything else ... For example, if you look at a bird and decide you love the pose and the light. That’s the thing to always refer back to. If you come to paint an area and ask you self, is what I’m doing, or about to do going to enhance either the pose or the feeling of light? If the answer is no...then leave it alone, keep it very simple.... Of course it is easier said than done, and there are other considerations. But that question underpins everything else and if you have it in my mind, you may find yourself starting to make interesting decisions about what to leave out:)....definitely a video to come on this!!:) T

@@tomshepherdartist Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this and I look forward to your tutorial. Now that you mention it, I really do find myself trying to capture every detail just because it is in the subject. I think that is because I struggle with determining which details are the important ones and which ones can be left out. My paintings most often look overworked for this reason. Another question that occurred to me while watching your videos was, how much should we be concentrating on conveying form (sphere, cylinder, etc) in a painting? (I find myself forgetting about that and concentrating instead on trying to accurately reproduce the colors in my reference photo.) Is it that lighter tonal values of your colors are those closest to the light source, a concept you would use in a still life, or is it more often the shapes that convey form? I have a feeling that you will say that it is both. :) Thanks for the suggestion to ask "what am I trying to convey in the painting?" I think this will help a lot to keep my mind on this concept instead of trying to get every element of the subject "just right". Be well. -Valerie
