Top Watercolor Artists Do THESE 5 THINGS!

▶︎Free Video Lesson: 7 Secrets of Fresh, Powerful Painting www.learntopaintwatercolor.co...
You can learn a lot by taking time to admire the work of successful watercolor artists.
Occasionally, I find it helpful to look back at the American Watercolor Society catalogs. I love to appreciate and study the paintings that were accepted into their exhibitions because I always learn something. Inevitably, I notice some trends that help me to know where to focus my energy as an artist.
In today’s video, I discuss 5 key elements in professional watercolor paintings and offer you some ways you can progress in these specific areas.
And, as always, keep working, keep learning, and I will see you next time!

Useful content well presented. Thanks Matthew! Mystery is indeed a powerful tool when used sparingly.

Matthew, thanks a lot for your videos! They are very helpful!!! You have a very pleasant manner of speaking and explaining. I always watch your videos with great pleasure! Hello from Germany

[@anitakurvinen3079]

Ooh, this is so very important! It is also good to know technical things in watercolor painting, but these big lines need to keep always in mind otherwise you wander off into details. Thank you Matt!

[@melindaavila498]

Thank you Matthew! I always enjoy your tutorials. Such thoughtful, and encouraging advice.

[@maribelteklado7491]

Very intellectual insights. Thank you!

[@catzenhouse]

I miss the yearly traveling exhibit the AWS used to put on. Those were awe-inspiring. The Frye Art Museum in Seattle used to host the exhibit. Wonderful presentation, Matthew. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@paul-oram]

[@Zenon-fg4dw]

Wow, thank you so much for imparting this foundational stuff that probably applies to any art. These ideas should be reminded of every time when thinking about a painting project.

[@barbaragemin5117]

Again, you’ve given me something to think about Matthew. I need to think about what I want to portray and evoke in the observer. thank you very much

@@learntopaintwatercolor My husband is a portrait photographer and he uses some of those same ideas, by using different f stops and lenses.

[@kimcurrey1951]

[@christinechandler6310]

Thank you, I am always inspired by your videos.

[@susanleadbeater2028]

Great Video - thank you sooooo much - so many wise words!

[@deannatonn8570]

Love this so much thank you! One thing that I haven't been doing that can help especially applying your tips is simply to check out watercolor artists and collections. My main inspirations ...which are awesome...are not watercolor and although they evoke the passion of style ...color...and painting in general, the mediums do not necessarily transfer to watercolor which make a lot of sense. When you were flipping through the catalog and connecting the tips it was another level of art appreciation and application. I paint as a hobby, but love learning how to improve which results into more options of my own creations. Thank you for always making your tips very relatable and understandable! Happy New Year!!!

[@robynblake4841]
