Merci Mr Evans. Love Northumberland and your paintings... It' s Always a great pleasure to follow your tutos. Thanks a lot

[@jacquelinesullivan5873]

I'm from Australia and I have just bought 3 of your books ' as I find them very helpful when painting in acrylics. But in a water colour style on paper of course. It's giving me great confidence in painting skies and buildings , plus filling in large areas of landscape. So thanks for your fantastic videos which are a joy to follow.

[@charlesevans7706]

Thank you so so much.

[@KeithEvans]

I absolutely love this one, Charlie -so light and airy with fabulous depth. Thanks for sharing. Incidentallt I was quite gobsmacked to hear you say that someone said they couldn't see the mixes taking shape. Obviously not paying attentiom; the mixes are perfectly clear because your four main mixing areas for yellows greens browns and blues are always clear (except where youve worn off the enamel!) Credit to Gail on her videography, too because we can always see how thick or thin each wash is GRRR rant over.😃

[@valeriegehling4358]

Followed your instructions & enjoyed painting this scene. Hope I‘ll like it tomorrow too. Thanks for instructions.

[@charlesevans7706]

You’re very welcome.

[@djmarti7773]

Thanktou for sharing your wealrh of experience to me. I am just getting back into watercolours after over 20years away, nor after a lifechanging accident i have picked up your brushes to try once more. I live how you do your skies and landscape. As i live in Scotland i have the scenery all around me. And i now practice your methods. So thank you..

Thanks Charlie, as always a great descriptive painting for us to try ourselves 👍

Oh, these lessons of yours are always such a big help to me. Thank you so much. Great camera work by the way! I’m always seeing just what I am needing to see, as though I had the camera in my own hand. Thank you She Who Must Be Obeyed!

[@charlesevans7706]

I’m so pleased you enjoy them.

[@franbird7443]

Currently have just subscribed to your painting tutorials, I am in the process of following, painting the countryside in watercolour, & having a go myself! I love your easy style & detailed explanations. Thankyou, will be tuning in for many more.

[@charlesevans7706]

I’m pleased that you’re enjoying them.

[@markdonovan1540]

Excellent insights and practical tips as always. I recently bought your Pocket Book for Watercolour Artists. It´s a superb book, I only wish I had bought it 4 years ago when I first started painting. It would have saved me time and money down the rabbit-hole of brushes, paints, paper etc. My intension is to make use of all that I have acquired in watercolour art materials and start spending more time painting with it all. These videos will help me get into it more, thank you Charles Evans.

[@charlesevans7706]

I’m so pleased you enjoyed it.

Hi, from the U.S. I'm a colorist and came across your channel when searching for how to create clouds for backgrounds in coloring books. The way you created yours resonates with me and put the capital D in "Duh" lol. New subscriber here, thanks😃.

Thank you for a lovely tutorial, again. I try your tutorials out, most of the time. I eagerly wait for new videos, but they are not that frequent. I understand you have other engagements to take care of. Thank you for all that you do.

Taking the tapes off - Wow! Why does that make so much difference?

[@charlesevans7706]

It certainly does though.

[@lynneellis2647]

Thank you for a really great video. I paint a lot of florals, but you make me want to try this type of landscape. Just curious...why does your pallette have the black ovals? Do they serve a purpose? Forgive me if you've addressed this before.

[@charlesevans7706]

Sorry, I don’t understand the black ovals! You probably mean where the enamel has been worn away in the mixing areas!

[@lynneellis2647]

@@charlesevans7706 yes, that is the spot I was seeing. I thought it was deliberate. Thank you!

Charlie, is there any chance you will be presenting in the mid-Atlantic region of the US anytime soon? I have made notice of the help for heroes' band on your wrist. In addition to your service to the art community, thank you for your RAF service to your country.

I would love to, but that kind of thing would need a lot of organising.

Hi Charles. Love watching your tutorials. Always inspiring and just as entertaining. Sadly my painting days are few, I'm losing my sight. Just a little note, the audio seems to distort heavily when you speak boldly, or stronger, if you like. Not griping, just info. Oh, and pencils scratching is fine with people that still have tolerance, and choose not to moan about the insignificant. Say "hi" to Gayle for me. She always makes you look great. TTFN

[@charlesevans7706]

Soo sorry to hear about your eyesight. Gail says hi back.

[@kendugdale5173]

Charlie, great as usual ! many thanks, is it possible to know what type and size paper you use...thanks in advance, youre an inspiration !

That is a half sheet of Langton Rough. I think I said all that at the end.
