A great video. I especially like the cardboard cut out idea. That's new to me. I enjoy everything about your work and teaching.

Big fan of the simple techniques. Big thanks

[@martinpettinger]

Thank you Peter.

[@deborahrech7429]

Brilliant! All useful techniques. Especially loved watching the negative space painting take shape.

[@peterwoolleyartist]

Thanks Deborah - Negative Painting can look a little bit like a conjuring trick

[@davidsmith812]

Watching you paint is relaxing, enjoyable, encouraging, and enlightening! Thank you!

[@peterwoolleyartist]

Mission accomplished! Thank you for the lovely comment, David - I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

[@peldridge2627]

thank you for these four techniques and your instructions. I always want to paint in the whole shape and that's exactly what I shouldn't do. watching you paint the colors on the last exercise was great! Thank you.

[@rebanelson607]

Removing blood from watercolor paper, dark cellar stairs, scalpels, scissors, knives - should we be afraid? And you seem like such a nice man! Thanks for the new tutorial.

[@peterwoolleyartist]

"...and blood is difficult to get out of watercolor paper." Bahaahahahaha! Wonderful, and thank you for this lesson!

[@catmpofu]

Such great videos. I've just found your channel. May I ask do you have any tips/videos on rainy night street-scapes?

[@ruthmarshall1879]

I have always understood that watercolour paper needs to be soaked and taped to a board to dry. When I paint on any larger paper I always get buckles in the paper. HELP!! I unusually am using 120lb

[@peterwoolleyartist]

140lbs paper should be your minimum weight - but only up to about quarter-imperial size. Beyond that, you should perhaps consider upgrading to a heavier paper... I use 200lbs Saunders Waterford Rough and never have to stretch my paper.
