[@lenasimpson6164]

First time I’ve watched you, THANKYOU very clear , you don’t waffle on about things that have nothing to do with the painting like some, your amazing and you make it look so easy. So I’m tempted to have a go.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thanks Lena I’m pleased you enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@jscook54]

I wonder if you know how truly great your art is. Amazing.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thanks Janet. Just average. I think they always look better online!

[@deborahm4484]

I agree with you about the paints the cotman set is great, colours are so vibrant 😊

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Yes they are. I don’t mind using the liberally , experimenting etc as I know I can afford to replace them.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

[@rameshbandekar1557]

Very nice demonstration. Video is at good slow speed so that we understand.Your commentary is so good. Video has helped me a lot. God bless you.-

[@gitarkid61]

Why would someone give a thumbs down? This is excellent work!

[@jscook54]

Alan Leak probably because the title said “simple” and clearly it is not. He is a excellent artist.

[@walterpierluissi1379]

good to see you back Patrick.... I really missed your videos friend.... this is a beautiful scenery... Love it.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thanks Walter it’s good to be back 😀

[@theponderingpilgrim4342]

A great impressionistic landscape Patrick. You have a great talent, your style is very engaging.

[@donnaweintraub8769]

Love your style

[@tericarter2886]

So very good to see you painting again here on youtube I love this painting It is just what I needed to see

[@samuso86]

So glad to see you back. I found your channel in January but then there were no more videos >< Your paintings are fantastic! Regarding paper stretching I find water activated tape coupled with staples works well. Also I use masking tape over that to create a 1cm boarder. Keep up the good work!

[@AeriolNicols]

Yeah so glad your back. Hope your sticking around. Have been watching for you for several months. I know it's hard to keep everything going. Question if I may? How do you get your paintings off the Bromley boards? I have two of them and trying to remove the painting every one I have done has been spoiled by tears. Now I just tape the paper on top. What's your secret? Thanks

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Aeriol Nicols What I tend to do is get a steel ruler lay it as close to the edge as possible and with a very sharp craft knife cut the painting free. Trying to take the painting off I find can risk creasing it.

[@bramskiwikid301]

So glad you are back after 8 months!!! When I saw your video today I said “Yay; he’s back “, out loud. 😂 I’ve always loved your vibrant , loose watercolours and you have helped me a lot to get into watercolour painting (which I am not very good at ) but enjoy immensely! Just for the record I think you draw very well which helps paintings a lot! Keep up the great videos and please know a lot of us really really like your work. Enjoy your talent and gift.

[@ruymarver]

Muchas Gracias maestro , espero poder encontrar aca en Chile esa marca.👍

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Many thanks Omar.

[@paraglide01]

In your absence I have been watching video's of Shibasaki, he has a very intresting techniek and use of color. And you get to learn some japanese ;-)

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

paraglide01 interesting,I’m not familiar but I’ll check it out.

[@davidgreene3809]

Great to see you back. Although I've been a fan for a long time, I especially like this painting as you have achieved your goal of painting loose and bright. Well done.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

David Greene thanks David.

[@elizabethplane9868]

I’m in London UK. I have now purchased water based glue stick tape and wider masking tape

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Works very well.

[@antheablackmore5838]

Sooo Happy you are back again....I think you are one of the best on you tube !!!!! Yes I like Liron too......I managed to get the book he recommended before he recommended it so I was pleased when he reviewed it...Skip Lawrence was the artist Anyway please keep painting I love your work 🎨❤️

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Anthea Blackmore thank you very much for your kind words.

[@deborahm4484]

Great to see you back, thanks for a great painting love your work, 😊😊

[@peterbuchanan7729]

Thank you Patrick for another superb demonstration. I've been a fan for a few years and love what you do. Your paintings are an inspiration to me and I'm sure to many other amateur artists. Your use of strong colour resulting in vibrant works of art is very appealing.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thanks Peter for your kind words, it makes it all worth while to know others get something from the videos I make.

[@dustykhan]

Your videos got me into painting watercolour, so im pleased you're back!

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

dustykhan that’s such a good thing to hear. Keep enjoying!

[@WDTRH]

Welcome back, you have been missed, so glad your ok, sometimes time spent away is well needed

[@marycaloiaro7253]

Lovely painting!! It looks vibrant and colorful . You have been missed!!!

[@robynnbryar1977]

What a treat for the eyes. Simply beautiful!

[@pandoraefretum]

Fab. clip, thank you Patrick. What and where can I get a stretcher-board... ? do you soak the paper first before stretching it ?

[@kathrynharrison6135]

It was very helpful to hear your goals before watching the painting. Thank you :)

[@THEMAYQUEEN1]

Yipeee so happy to see a video from you. Such beautiful painting. I love your style.

[@essietangle9931]

Great to see you, you look great and hope all is well. It is very strange but I looked at your site last night and told my husband that I hope you have a little time for us in the future. Sparkle sounds great and we enjoy your water scenes, wow did you get the get it in this one with the cotman paints. Now we need you to give us some hints.👍🏻🧐

[@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478]

Think I may have to dig out my cotman colours once agn, if I can find them lol

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Essie Tangle Thanks very much. I will be making some more specifically covering techniques. I hope all is well with you .

[@janshannon8329]

Labor Day here in the US. I thrilled to see you back again and sharing the fruits of your labor. God bless.

[@elizabethplane9868]

Can you help me with finding a water colour board to stretch the paper over? My local shop, Cass Art, doesn’t know of anything. Masking tape doesn’t hold it flat and stretched. If it’s over a board how is it secured over the board edges. Thanks. Libby Plane.

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Hi Libby what country are you in?

[@dianeandbrad529]

love the style of this. What beautiful colors. Great to see your back on youtube!

[@ruymarver]

¿ Estas hermosísimas acuarelas son sobre tela ? 😯

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

gracias por tu comentario. Están pintados en papel de acuarela arche 140lb.

[@helenrichards4667]

Love the painting and I’m soooo glad you’ve come back, looking fwd to seeing more tutorials from you 😊

[@leftmono1016]

Oops, you've misspelled Mevagissey in the video title! Brilliant tutorial, love the reflections and ripples. I'll be in Mevagissey at the end of next month, magical place, unless you happen to be driving along the incredibly narrow streets and meet another car traveling in the opposite direction!

[@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478]

I've yet to venture out to this beautiful part of the country 👍👍

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thanks for the heads up on that will change today 😀

[@mikenorton4861]

When I return from vacation mid September I'm joining skillshare to access your lessons. Ive already done the boat on beach last year. Wondering if you have plans to add more lessons this year?

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Hi Mike there will be more courses. I’m in the process of putting one together. Should be ready in the next month. Thanks for your comment and interest.

[@tdelphia1]

Such a treat to have a video this morning from you Patrick! I love this painting!

[@MichelleMMears]

So nice to see you back. Love the painting!

[@pjs3514]

Welcome back!

[@michelleanne9530]

Glad you are back!

[@MPLangerArt]

It's great to see you back Patrick. I like this painting very much and especially appreciate how well done the contrast is. Thanks for sharing. Patricia

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

M.P. Langer.Art Thank you Patricia it’s good to hear from you. I hope all is well with you. I’ve not seen any notifications for videos?

[@MPLangerArt]

Thanks for asking Patrick. I've not posted anything in almost a year - long story. I will be moving in a couple of months and will be able to record videos then. I'm looking forward to getting back at it.

[@davelawday6609]

Absolutely brill Patrick... it's mevagissey without a doubt.(the wife and me have had a few beers by the harbour wall) ... thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise... I'm Very much a beginner and you've given me the confidence to try something different and a bit more challenging... I'm now scouting for some local scenes around the Essex coast... regards Dave....

[@capbin146]

Lots of good stuff, really liked the water, felt real. Thanks

[@PatrickLeyGreaves]

Thank you. I’m pleased you enjoyed it.

[@minoz55]

Patrick, your videos are both intimidating and motivating. I hear myself say I could never do that. And then I hear myself answer to just listen, look and give it a try. Please know that you bring joy to my life. All the best to you...stay in touch.

[@davelester1985]

I want to tell you that I think this painting was really creative. Too many British watercolorists seem to do dark, grey, brown, muddy and such. They paint great but seems dreary, like a rainy day with clouds every day all the time...yellow horizon and blue sky. I hope you continue to explore happy colors and vivid settings.

[@aurenelucas6794]

Excellent ! Your style is mesmerizing! I am enjoying your videos, love your technique! Thank you for all you do to help understand values etc of watercolor!

[@tucsontom7244]

Glad you are back.

[@harpaint]

I really like how you've kept it so light. Also, it is very helpful to see how you approached a busy subject and kept it loose. Thank you, and I'm glad you posted again.

[@nsm5689]

So wonderful to “see you”.

[@pennygower372]

Welcome back!

[@brianparnell2256]

Like you’ve never been away Patrick.

Thanks Brian. I hope all is well with you.

[@norm977]
