Watercolour Tip from PETER WOOLLEY: Trees - Negative and Positive

[@brajasundaridasi6675]

Absolutely love your misty morning sky, your bunged-in foreground, and lets have a special hand for your party tricks!

[@peterwoolleyartist]

I'm pleased you enjoyed it Brajasundari - thanks for the great comments!

[@rebanelson607]

Negative painting is challenging but this video shows that it's worth the effort to learn. Misty and solid at the same time.

[@peterwoolleyartist]

Thanks for the comment Reba - Misty and Solid... I like that!

[@caroltaucher6804]

You really are an excellent teacher. Thank you so much for demonstrating AND explaining as you go. So refreshing!

[@brendadoyle643]

Very soothing to watch. Good idea to think of both positive and negative at the same time. Gives me pause...

[@maggs131]

I follow a few artists on here and I always come back here, your style combined with your calm teaching is why. The music you choose is also to be applauded. Thank you

[@annemorgan2928]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦

[@ChrisHobelArt]

The best tree tutorial I’ve seen, thank you

[@juliao1255]

I love the look of this. I plan on doing it for some cards I'm making. Thanks for showing and explaining it so well.

[@charlesanderson32]

Love Your work Mr Woolly... Such an unusual approach.. This teaches me how to layer and how colors complement each other... Best lessons I've found... USA...

[@peterwoolleyartist]

Thanks for the feedback Charles - I'm pleased you found it helpful

[@22GmaRocky]

[@lilianariboldi361]

Very clear explanations and examples. I loved it.

[@warnerdeb58]

Peter, thank you for sharing your talent with us. Loved your painting.

[@pcpcpim]

Thank you for the lesson. I always thought that masking fluid was the only way to paint this until I saw you video.

[@k.b.woodworker3250]

Thank you. Great demo. I've been doing some negative painting, but my paintings are a bit stiff. Love the fluidity of this.

[@peterwoolleyartist]

Thanks KB - I'm pleased you enjoyed it - keep at the negative painting, it gets easier (and more fluid-er) with practice!

[@jandon64]

Incredible! Gorgeous... Cheers and Much thanks for posting!

Thanks for reply about music!!

[@AlfioRacitiArte]

Awesome as always!!!!

[@MsCuisle]

Thank you. You are brilliant

[@suphakanbrusorio3047]

Magnifique, Merci beaucoup d'avoir partagé

[@oleksandrkozyr2434]

Interesting and very helpful tutorial. I like the way you build you painting with lots of light values. Lots of American artists paint with too thick of s mixes and loose all the pretty effects of this delicate medium. I was curious about your brush but found someone already asked you that. I prefer this kind of rounder point on brushes but for some reason every single brush I buy is too pointy. I know I can’t trim the tips up I just hope they will naturally wear out to a round point for me.

[@lavonnecarrick2238]

Oleksandr Kozyr .of course you can trim the tips they are your brushes. Just try it on an inexpensive brush. Be adventurous. Come to think of it I think he is using a round brush. The negative painting is trickery.

[@palmiracarmenambrosino1845]

Muy bueno!!!! Muchas gracias....

[@offrampt]

Reminds me of Citizen Kane: "Some people can sing, some cannot!" This video is a great lesson.

[@marcar365]

Gracias, María

[@LizHolmArt]

Do you always put fresh paint in your palette, or do reconstitute the dry?

[@peterwoolleyartist]

Hi Lisbeth... my palette is in a constant state of reconstitution.

[@LizHolmArt]

@@peterwoolleyartist 😆 Thanks for replying. I just discovered you on KZbin, and I’m blown away, you paint like I want to be able to paint and I’m watching every video over and over again!

[@marykateadams4540]

Peter, if you are ever around the West Coast of Oregon, I would love to take a class from you. I am taking lessons at the ART LOFT, in Astoria, it would be so great to have you do a workshop. Maryk

[@peterwoolleyartist]

Hi again Maryk. I would love to come to Oregon to do a workshop. Please contact me via my website (www.peterwoolley.co.uk) to see if we can set something up.

[@Vajrapani108]

Soooooo...the name of the music? Artist? album? Because it's really good

[@peterwoolleyartist]

Untitled.. all produced 'in-house', by myself... I'm pleased you like it.

[@lesleyhughes9461]

Any chance you could let me know what the background music on this video is -it’s lovely!

[@peterwoolleyartist]

It's called 'From The Outside In', which was the main theme to my Negative Painting DVD, composed and produced by myself... I'm pleased you like it!

[@Varonessa]

It's very useful demonstration. But can I ask, what pigment's brand do you use. Because I use the same colors you called in video, but still feel some differences in the result.

[@peterwoolleyartist]

I use mostly Winsor and Newton Professional paints, and SAA artist colours (tubes)

[@charocasek8373]

I absolutely love this video! I am new to watercolor so I am really struggling with the process, but I don't want to give up. I live in the states and was wondering if you knew where I could purchase Rosemary and Co, brushes? By the way what size brush are you using in this video? Thank you

[@peterwoolleyartist]

You can purchase the same Rosemary and Co brushes that I use from here: www.peterwoolley.co.uk/shop_BRUSHES.html

[@adamw2621]

What yellow is that on your palette to the left of cad yellow, between the cad yellow and raw sienna? I have only ever seen you use cad yellow but that yellow on your palette looks cooler, like a lemon. As always I really enjoy this Peter. You have really taught me a lot in the way of using negative shapes.

[@peterwoolleyartist]

Hi Adam. Well spotted... that is indeed Lemon Yellow. If you take a close look at it, though, you'll see that it only ever gets used very rarely (it's a much cooler, almost acidic, yellow, better for cooler greens).

[@nataliaramoncifuentes668]

Me encanta :..

[@amarpreetkaur8221]

Nice video

[@grunherzjg-5443]
