Union Square NYC - Sketch Painting Demonstration - Part Two

[@Silver-wm7es]

It’s hard to believe that this level of unique and thoughtful artistry is available to the public. Thank you so much for generously sharing

[@thomaswschaller]

Thanks so very much

[@watercolourmark]

Mr Schaller, you have slowly been winning my heart to become my favourite watercolorist. Artistic draughtsmanship, poetic harmony, masterful brushwork. I see a lot of watercolourists fall into a mode of confident self-parody, but you always seem to approach your subject with fresh eyes with a thoughtful outlook. Thank you for sharing.

[@thomaswschaller]

Thanks so much Mark. Well, I always try to push myself to see a little differently - with new eyes. Does it always work? Maybe not. But it's always worth it and pays off down the line both for me and - I hope - anyone else watching. Design, and painting are a just a way of problem solving . You learn a lot along the way

[@watercolourmark]

@@thomaswschaller - Your freshness and approach is telling in all your work, thank you.

[@user-yb2og2pd3l]

I love your videos and your comments... To see you painting in real time, taking your time, talking... It's so relaxing. Thank you, Thomas!

[@thomaswschaller]

Thank you

Artist Thomas W Schaller, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, skills, thoughts, insights, commentary and experience in drawing, tonal studies, and watercolour painting. Your focus on light and shade, the simplicity of your tonal studies, the clarity of your design intent, and the resolution of background, middle ground, and foreground is so simple and clear. And your control of tones direct from the brush or built up wet into wet in one pass with no return s is a real lesson. But also your different edge control methods in background, middle-ground, and foreground is another lesson. Instructive, entertaining, and inspiring. A true artist at work. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights.

[@thomaswschaller]

Beautiful composition. I love that you go through your whole process from start to finish. I thank you for taking this amount of time to share your talent with us

[@thomaswschaller]

Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words

[@cherietooms8961]

Thank you for posting this. I learnt so much. I struggle with letting the paint mix in the paper but I was really happy with my result after painting along.

[@MissKats13]

Very beautiful painting again!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much for sharing this. I never had the opportunity to learn art at a higher level and now I feel so lucky to be able to learn from you! 🙏

[@thomaswschaller]

Thanks

Fantastic Thomas!!!! From Rome Italy

[@auraservent7282]

Genial!! Thank you 😊

[@paulw9684]

Thank you Thomas for another valuable insight into the construction of a life story in a painting from your personal perspective. If all of your experience can help us to develop our own capability towards telling our own stories even 1% more effectively we will have taken a huge step forward in our own art journey. Thank you for your time and expertise.

[@thomaswschaller]

Thank you so very much

[@AnnaShevardina]

Thank you very much! Yesterday I painted with you Yellow, tomorrow I try this one. So happy you share your talent with us. I learn so much from you!

[@TheKtpremi]

Amazing and love it. Wonderful to listen and watch.

[@lisashaw2184]

I only discovered you last weekend, and in the past week I have watched at least a dozen of your videos. I think I've learnt more this week than I have in the past 5 years I've been trying to master watercolours. tbf it's really only been the past year that I've been sparing it any real energy, but I think that is because I found my lack of understanding disheartening. You are a brilliant teacher, you make sense of many things I've struggled with. And now I have a lot of work to do on myself. Thank you.

[@thomaswschaller]

Thanks so much Lisa - I appreciate it greatly, My whole point in content on this platform - and other teaching venues - is me trying hard to address all of what I miss is art education - Mostly a painter trying to answer "why"? Why did you use that paper, or color, or brush. Why did you choose this to paint and not that. ? What are you trying to convey?

[@lisashaw2184]

Exactly!!!!! And I love that you turn your paper around, I do too, and always felt a bit self conscious. Mainly for my sketches, I love the sketching as much as the painting but can't draw a straight line or circle to save myself and turning the paper helps a lot.😂

[@thomaswschaller]

@@lisashaw2184 anything that helps!!

[@louislao7705]

You're the best teacher I've ever had, and I feel honored to learn such detailed knowledge through video lessons. Thank you!

[@thomaswschaller]

❤

[@jamesekdahl2178]

Wow! There is so much to learn here. I could watch this many times and learn more each time. Thank you!

[@thomaswschaller]

Thank you James

[@thomaswschaller]

So good to hear

[@ganarseunacre]

Thanks so much Master!❤

[@Terry-xf8uh]

Such fabulous artistry and instruction from my favorite artist. Thank you so much for generously sharing your talent with us, Mr. Schaller. (I've watched so many of your videos, I feel we're on a first name basis. I think I can refer to you as Tom. And woof to Otis!)

[@thomaswschaller]

Thanks so much

[@suneetakulkarni7616]

The careful and masterful first washes complete @27+ minutes made a delightful picture. A beautiful painting of a somewhat daunting scene. Thank you for sharing.🙏

[@thomaswschaller]

Thanks very much

[@scottbovard5552]

Great job, awesome teaching and much appreciated. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

[@andreandi24]

Thank you. I enjoyed every minute of it! 🎨👍🌷❤️

[@thomaswschaller]

Thanks!

[@Northumbergull]

Thank you, sir. That's a great sketch painting. Your advice throughout was very useful. Your tonal work on the shadows was exquisite and instructive, making much sense. And, finally, your supportive encouragement was appreciated, and well worth the time spent watching both videos in this presentation. My very best regards to you, from Northumberland, England.

[@thomaswschaller]

Thanks so much Bruce

[@renahuseynova8109]

Thanks a lot for this great demonstration, Master🙏So many tips and tricks🤩

[@thomaswschaller]

Thanks so much

[@martinullrich655]

Thanks! I learned a lot! I like watching your videos!

[@scottenosh4548]

I really admire how honest you are with the time you take with each painting. Often, I wonder if some of the WC virtuosos Dr their vids (and they do) to medicate their ego. I appreciate the sincerity of your tutorials.

[@thomaswschaller]

Haha - Well, making mistakes - big and small - is the only way I've ever been able to learn anything. So if I can't admit that, then what's the point?

[@Xyz19781i]

Incredible

[@thomaswschaller]

Thanks so much !

[@Richard-ou6uw]

Another cracking painting Thomas ,love the focal point around the columns l was wondering if you think the light in the right hand corner leads the eye out of the painting? But I do love it 👍👍

[@thomaswschaller]

No , but obviously you do, right?
