This Watercolour Hack Will Change The Way You Paint

In This video I demonstrate a simple way to understand the importance of tonal values in landscape painting.
Using the "wrong" colours to paint a watercolour landscape, but making sure the values are correct, will still result in a painting with depth and distance.
It's a nice easy exercise, that will help you to improve your own work.

Wow, that’s a very clear way to explain depth by values. Thank you

You’re welcome! Glad you liked it

[@shapesart2701]

I was planning to paint tomorrow but didn't know what exactly. Now I know what and how. Thanks for an unexpected inspiration.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

That’s great ! Glad you feel inspired

[@mechadebzilla]

So pretty much explains sci fi landscape. Cool.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks !! The reason for the demonstration was to highlight the fact that colour isn’t the most important factor in a painting. That said, I suppose it does explain the original series of Star Trek 😄😊

Es un placer verte pintar con tu soltura y seguridad. Es lo que tengo que conseguir. Soy muy perfeccionista y me entretengo demasiado corrigiendo trazos. Gracias por el tutorial❤

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Muchas gracias. Me tomó un tiempo aprender a permitir que la acuarela sea ella misma. ¡¡Solo deja que la pintura se mueva y sé libre!! 😊

[@JohnnyB-art]

@@ChrisStephenArt your so welcome! Really lovely way you present your artwork, very clear and helpful, I’m going to buy a hake brush and try to use wet in wet like in your video.. iv started with watercolour about a year ago and love it although my style is completely different to yours lol.. iv got along way to go 🤗👍

[@ChrisStephenArt]

@JohnnyB-art Great ! Glad you find my videos helpful. The hake is a very versatile brush, it does take some getting used to. But once you do, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it
