Watercolour Fundamentals - Guidance and Demonstration with Andrew Pitt

📚 My book, Seasons and Reflections, is available as an eBook and a re-released hardback from Amazon or at a discounted rate through my website: www.andrewpitt.co.uk where there are also links to other videos and painting resources.
=====
A video for students preparing to go on residential painting courses, offering guidance and a full-length demonstration of how to paint in fresh, loose watercolour.

[@lisalovelylpa]

I knew this be a good video as soon as I heard the artist talk lol

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Oh, really! Interesting.

[@drdoicha]

Absolutely, very pleasant and relaxing voice. His voice has a very nice ASMR quality to it as well.

[@bryantherocker]

@@AndrewPittArtist Hi, watercolor is hard for a beginner like me, but It gives that beautiful, flowing, Storybook look in the Painting, and it's portable...thank you for the lessons on the video :)

OH MY GOD YES!!!

[@unitoolzee]

I don’t know why youtube suggested this video. I don’t paint, can’t paint, but I still watched the entire video. Very nice!

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Oh, sorry about that. Hope it didn’t spoil your day. Thanks for your comment.

[@jazzman1626]

It would be great if it resulted in you thinking “I could paint and I will paint”.

[@1msfit]

This is one of the best watercolor demonstrations I have seen. You not only showed how you painted this specific scene, but more importantly you gave us an awful lot of more general information that we can put to use in our own painting. There was so much packed into this video that I took notes for future reference. I will be watching all of your videos now. The time and effort that you put into this is very much appreciated as I am a beginner and can use all the help I can get. Thank you very much.

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Many thanks for getting in touch and your for your generous feedback, it is much appreciated. I hope you enjoy the other videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk Good luck with your painting.

[@janetcatmull268]

I don't even know what to say, I am so impressed. You are a great teacher. You know what to explain or describe, and what can be omitted. Your cast shadows on the two buildings make me shake my head in amazement. I'm going to watch this video over again. Many times until it has all sunk in. THANK YOU for posting this! I hope you continue to make videos!

[@myanitabonita]

I've started learning watercolour in the past 4 months and stumbled across this tutorial. This is the best one yet. Finally a tutor that explains all those rookie errors we make. And thankyou for actually showing us your water jar. Its so hard to judge how much water to use when you are a beginner and so many tutorials we cant see what is happening off screen with the water! I will be telling others about your videos for sure!

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Glad it was helpful!

It is very generous natured of Andrew Pitt, to go to the trouble of setting up recording equipment and editing and then offering his time and expertise, skill and talent essentially for free. For the love of his subject and the benefit of the rest of us. Thank you Sir. Such actions are the stuff which demonstrates an aspect of human nature which shows that in all of the greed and madness there is still the quiet voice of sharing and sanity.

Thanks for your generous feedback.

[@CristianASas]

I suffer from anxiety, and I'm also quite perfectionistic so I tend to be unaccepting of my flaws and shortcomings. I feel like watercolour has the potential to be somewhat of a therapy for me, and a lesson in acceptance and letting go - being able to work fast, accept the imperfections and see the beauty in them. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Thanks for getting in touch. Remember you need a few wrong notes to show up the good ones. There are more videos at www.andrewpitt.co.uk

[@mickricereto8012]

That murky water was giving me pause! But so many great tips, like only paint details in the light (as opposed to shadow), and making sure you connect the shadows to the figures, etc. Very brave in the sky, overall great instruction.

I love watercolours... I've never been any _good_ at them, but I love looking at them. To me, they're far more interesting than other media. To me, a good watercolour seems to come to life in a way that no other painting does.

[@AndrewPittArtist]

I agree. There is something special about watercolour. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

[@glutenfreeappletree]

Genius. Watercolor artists are to be respected and I hope I can study with you through your courses. Painting with watercolor, one needs to have great skill, because there is no blending, as in oil painting. You, basically, need to get it right the first time. That's how I see it. "Every artist was first an amateur" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Many thanks for your kind remarks. I like the Emerson quote - so true.

[@pmnirmal4634]

True. One mistake and everything may be gone! You can't cover up any mistake by painting another layer over it. It also requires great planning because you have to start with light colours first and then slowly build up the dark areas. This is where we may make a mistake.

[@carolinegreene372]

Andrew, you explain everything simply and clearly, but best of all you show us your palette and water pot in action. THANK YOU! To see all that water and pigment happily sloshing around and then this glorious painting appear is invaluable, and so often left out of other demonstrations. Watercolour is challenging enough without not being able to grasp the essentials right at the start. I think most beginners would probably not have imagined so much water being used. It’s a very generous thing you’re doing with these videos, sharing your decades of learning here. Your DVD was one of the very first teaching videos I bought on my art learning journey and is still my favourite for how much information you share in it so clearly.

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Thanks very much Caroline. Very kind. To make the videos we fix two cameras - one above the painting, one above my palette - and Rachel moves about with a hand-held camera. Our son is the secret, magic ingredient. Simon, edits the films to produce a coherent video. Quite a time consuming task. He quickly decided the most useful approach would be to, as he puts it, “follow the brush”.

[@natalia5884]

I have recently got into watercolour painting (bought my first paints and brushes this week - I am still yet to buy a "large brush," though :) ) and I watched some tutorials, did some painting with rather unsatisfactory results and KZbin suggested me this video. Extremely educational! I learned a great deal about colour mixing from this. Thank you so much, Sir, for your videos! You're an amazing artist and a great teacher :)

[@patriciariego4606]

To me it's very difficult to let go the perfectionism of shapes and details, seeing you paint so freely but still not losing sight of where things are, impresses me and truly speaks to me of your artistry and mastery. I will try to 'let go' a bit more, maybe I can start evolving and finding a new voice like that.

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Thanks for getting in touch. It’s difficult for me as well. I think the ‘trick’, if that is the right word, is to forget things and paint shapes of tone, with a variety of edges and with credible, attractive colour. There are more videos and workshop films at www.andrewpitt.co.uk which might help.

Enlightening! From a non-painter (maybe not for much longer) to see the process from splodgy, watery, archaic mess (to the untrained eye) and a palette full of varying shades of dirty water to the finished product was mind blowing! I can imagine someone with no experience attempting this, getting to one of the earlier stages and giving up thinking they have fouled it up. Showing your palette is also hugely beneficial and to me a massive eye opener, just being able to imagine that (what looks like) dirty water on the paper is where your experience really shows. Sorry to ramble but seeing you use 3+ variations of mix on a single shadow really made me realise how you are able to add depth to a flat image! Awesome, thanks.

I agree one of the best camera works

Very often the pallet in some painting tuition is off set limiting the color mixing .I appreciate your color blends .

I know I'm learning a lot when I'm constantly saying to myself ... 'No! What are you doing? You're ruining ... Oh. Okay, I see.' 😂

[@aprilrichards-senior2089]

I had the same thoughts. What??! Ahhh I see. Such a good teacher and pleasant to watch.

[@kidsnkittens]

Wow! Thank you for the teaching and explanation. Simple, yet so complex!

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Thank you for your feedback.

[@susanphillips323]

Wonderful, loose style demonstration. Love it!

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Thank you for your kind comment.

[@elainenicholas5421]

Thank you so much. I love the scene. Hope I can get to somewhere near that stage one day.

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Best of luck!

Hi, watercolor is hard for a beginner like me, but It gives that beautiful, flowing, Storybook look in the Painting, and it's portable...thank you for the lessons on the video :)

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Many thanks for getting in touch. There are more videos and workshop lessons at www.andrewpitt.co.uk

[@TennValleyGal]

Thank you for devoting your time to this video. I've learned more from you in one sitting than from my watercolor teacher in 2 years.

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Many thanks. Visit www.andrewpitt.co.uk for more videos and workshop films.

[@rikardogibola1312]

Just watched this again for the 3rd time - great - can't get enough of watching you paint.

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Oh, really. You’ll have to your own paints out. Thanks for your encouragement.

[@marycordeiro996]

Wow, I could watch forever, this is the best instruction I have ever seen and I’ve been watching for years. Thank you so very much.

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Oh, thank you very much for your generous feedback.

[@tonyburkewatercolours]

I agree. And it's not a voice over, it's all done real time.

[@gusefulbeauty]

I agree! I have watched tutorials for years and he is great at teaching and painting!

[@loreneabella4479]

Got my first few techniques and lessons from you. Thank you, Andrew! It’s hard to forget your advice for a novice like me. Looking forward to more videos. Stay safe!

@@AndrewPittArtist Thank you Mr. Pitt, we are going to take a look!

[@catherinel2801]

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Many thanks for your kind comments.

[@orahblank2531]

I beg for more!

[@gracielamancini4228]

I love your watercolors, saw your videos many times and try to learn that loose way of painting, which is not coming so easily to me (accustomed to do detailed illustrations). Thank you for explaining so well how to look at the light, the shadows, and reflections, and also, for your words of encouragement when things don't go as planned (this last one, many times) Hope you continue doing more videos, I would like to learn how to paint mountains, since I live in the high desert surrounded by them. Maybe one day I will be able to attend one of your workshops in the UK!

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Many thanks for your encouraging comments, they are much appreciated. We will be releasing a series of 10 minute video lessons later this month. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

[@JC-oy3pe]

Wow! Thank you for such a lovely lesson. I found the recommendations and techniques on shadowing and the use of light very helpful.

[@AndrewPittArtist]

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for getting in touch. There are more videos on my website, www.andrewpitt.co.uk

[@peterkpetrov1]

Thank you Andrew for you’ve given me such joy and inspiration with this video. And the painting itself is so beautiful and lively ❤️🙌🏼
