Jordan, you are such a joy to learn from. Your calm, gentle approach to teaching is what this anxious learner here can't thank you enough for. Thank you for being willing to share and instruct. We are all blessed you're here..."For me, painting's all about adjustments..."--a quote of yours I loved & will bring to mind as I work, to keep me focused on the end goal while many an adjustment is needed in between.

[@imaniharris6958]

Thank you! I love that you’re painting brown people! I’ve been trying to find artists that work with water based mediums that also paint darker tones so that I can learn from them! Thank you for this!

[@MrTeff999]

Love the music and your calm, casual voice… and your great brush work.

[@thediscoveredline4783]

Beautiful work and fantastic video explaining things so clearly, thank you!

[@nikkitatum7116]

You are very talented! I'm trying to learn how to paint with gouache and from this video I learned I wasn't using enough water. You make it look really easy. Thanks for taking the time to create these videos!

[@lynromero8002]

Really intrigued by the thin to thicker almost wc layered technique you use, please share more, tyvm!

[@ambertaylor8863]

Thank you so much for this video--I learned so much and can see an improvement from the portrait I did while watching this video compared to the last I worked on. I really appreciate you!

[@christophedevos3760]

Very interesting approach and nice portrait, thank you for sharing.

[@Zephlett]

Thank you so much for painting the same reference in watercolor and gouache! I really appreciated watching them both in succession. I've been futzing around with both for a while, but I haven't tried this idea of just doing the same work with both separately. I'm definitely going to try several pieces like this, as I think it will help me get a better intuitive grasp of which medium I want to use when.

[@lindacsmith13]

I like your style a lot. I was worried that paper wasn't going to hold the water as well as it did. I always use 100% cotton paper. I haven't tried mixed media paper that I remember. I can be a bit heavy on the water.

[@artismagical]

Love your work JMR ART!!

[@MathinusG]

Great job. I find guache a big challenge.

[@jasminedesrochers6436]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I like that you take your time to explain and you show every steps of the way. On top of that you’re very talented. I love your artwork!

[@godsentjesustosetusallfree9859]

Hi I know this is from a while back. I want to know how did you decide the undertone was blue? I new to painting watercolor and I'm struggle with opacity. I keep putting too much paint on the canvas.

[@introverted_idiot]

This was very helpful and I learned alot. Thanks for this!

[@strathmoreart]

Glad it was helpful!

[@radio8show]

Does adding diluted colours on top of all the layers re-activate the paint underneath?

[@PayneSculptures]

Yes it does unless your really control the amount of water and get the brush on and off quickly. Even then it does re-activate slightly

The artist’s process was interesting to watch but I found the video very difficult to watch, due to the volume of the music in comparison with the voiceover. The music is mixed way too high and it is a strain to hear what is being said. Background music really isn’t necessary with a demo like this, and certainly should not drown out the commentary.

[@jamieedwardsart8924]

I didn't really mind the music, I thought it was pretty relaxing and kinda groovy :)

[@NiKKey411]

Who knew blue would be so useful. This was wondeful to watch. The only mediums ive used are acrylic and alcholo markers but this helped me with color theory.
