Just... wow! Your ability to bring those rocks and that water alive with the powers of your observation, your patience in layering on the paint and your masterful colour-mixing abilities boggles my pea brain! Beautiful work, sir; beautiful work.

Wow, thank you!

I have always thought about doing this exact kind of painting!! Tree reflections and all! I just never even tried because I didn't know where to start. Thank you for your amazing tutelage! Much appreciated ❤😊

You should have a go at it. Practice and the continuous improvement it brings is the best way to succeed at watercolors.

Beautiful tutorial! I've never tried laying in the shadows first and then glazing water over them before. I can't wait to try this! I also love your practice of squeezing out the paint from your brush rather than just wiping or rinsing. That blended color is precious, so why waste? Thanks so much for both of these tips!

Beautiful painting and demonstration! Where did you get your watercolour palettes please? You have a place for lots of paints and 4 rather large areas to blend which is wonderful!!!

[@JoeCartwright]

Thank you. The palette was designed my me and printed on my 3D printer. The mixing surfaces had to be sealed with a special epoxy to reduce staining. I sell them to my students for $60 Australian plus postage.

[@8intercessor8]

It sure looks extremely convenient and was very creative on your part to be able to fill all the boxes. It’s always exceptional to be able to design what you need and make life easier. I’m guessing it costs from $45 up to $50 US dollars. It’s probably best to order one, so then I’ll keep in touch. I guess after a while it might start to stain a bit, is there anything that can be done about that? Thank you for the information, and I really do like it. Those rocks and the painting are outstanding!!!

[@JoeCartwright]

@@8intercessor8 Sadly postage to the USA is $30 AUD it would make the price closer to $61 US dollars.

[@JoeCartwright]

Thanks for the visit

[@DebbiePratt-u2s]

I just discovered your video and am fairly new to watercolor painting. I wanted to ask why you wet the back of the paper, and the plastic board underneath...does that keep the paper damp while painting? I have trouble keeping my paper from drying out when doing the wet-on-wet technique, and think this may help if that's your reason for doing it.

[@JoeCartwright]

Yes, exactly. Here is a video I made which explains the process and the reason why I wet the back of my paper: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGS2nYFtn8uriNk

Yes, it is a panting for the more experienced, but still worth trying as that is how you get experience! I have painted this scene twice, my second attempt (this one) worked out better because I learned something from my first attempt. Thank you for watching!

[@kennyiklei]

Hi joe, thank you so much for sharing this video. I truly enjoyed your technique and details. I don’t know much about painting. What was the purpose of adding the salt on the rock?

[@JoeCartwright]

Glad you enjoyed it. The salt creates small little textured areas as the paper dry. Later you just brush the salt off.

[@discoverer7175]

Hi Joe, excellent tutorial! Your palette is different from all that I have seen. It’s very functional. What is the brand name and where can I buy it from? Thanks !

[@JoeCartwright]

Glad you enjoyed the video. The palette I use was designed and produced by myself on my 3D printer. I wanted a palette with large mixing areas and that I could use in both my studio and when I go out plein air painting. I sell them to my students for $60 Australian, plus postage.
