Choose colors to emphasize wisely. 5. 17:02 Be happy with whatever level you are on and learn from it. Thanks Nitin

Really a great lesson. The two color mix is going to help me get better results - it is exactly one of the things I am doing wrong. Too many colors, too much over working with the paint. I need to learn also when to stop. Thank you!

Mr. Singh...As I've commented before, You are a real teacher! You care that people Learn! It shows as the audience watch what you do! You TEACH, with the intent of explaining to the learner, which should be the purpose! Emphatically, I appreciate your guidance because w/c is difficult enough without some of those who really don't take time...if their intention is to teach which results in confusion. I personally thank and appreciate you more than words can say! May God continue to bless you! Jimi

Try turning on the captions if you have trouble hearing. It will help, but keep in mind that it picks up the accent so that all the words may not be correct. I listened to this on my TV by using Chromecast and turned up the volume on my TV, which allowed my to hear it very well. Thank you for your lessons. I enjoy them so much! I'm trying to learn simplicity. You are very much a master at that!

You are so, so encouraging, "Whatever you achieved so far, just be happy with that." :-) I do get discouraged but those few words perked me back up again, and I thank you for that! You are an excellent teacher and your explanations are so clear. Thanks, friend. I shall press on!

I just can't even describe how useful and beautiful your work is! You give me so much confidence so now I'm looking at my paintings and see the difference between yours technic and mine. So thank you for everything you're doing. Btw you taught me one precious thing - you should have fun with water colour! Nitin you are so right!! Lots of love!

@tinaboomerina1607 5 жыл бұрын

You are an amazing teacher. I like the harmony of using only two colors, but I like the "bad" painting example on the left, as well. Even when you try to paint a bad painting, you are good. Everything you do is good. I will go try your two-color painting technique. I think you have just given me the secret to happy, harmonious watercolor paintings. Thank you.

Really enjoy your artwork and free and expressive style. Your encouragement, insights, tips and sincerity in the videos are very helpful as well! I do have a suggestion, though. If you can, please increase the volume of your "voice" when you record (I think you need to move your microphone closer to your mouth or increase the recording volume a bit). Your voice volume on your videos is, for me at least, very low, while the music overlays are at an adequate volume. Sadly, this affects my ability to understand what you are saying even when I have my volume at maximum on my speakers, my system, and KZfaq. Thanks again Nitin for your efforts! Most appreciated!

Lovely!! And so helpful as I’m just starting out with my muddy painting. I’m so glad I listened to the very end, because I quite like the DONT DO THIS side as well😅(unlike me even when you try to mess up you make something beautiful!), though my goal is to paint lightly and freely. Thank you.

Nitin THANK YOU for the video! So helpful and informative as I continue to practice and grow as a painter. Thank you also for mentioning "losing the motivation" factor. I feel it way too often when I brush on that horrible, mucky overworked color and then want to throw my painting away. Some of us, especially me need to learn to just say NO MORE! Like eating sugar, I just have a hard time saying no more. 😳

My biggest problem is knowing which colors to,use and or mix, and where to place them. I gave up oilpainting because of color confusion. I think I have a mind block for color or soemthing. (Also for tonal ranges, but not as bad as for co,or). Gonna try a canal painting, simple, two colors only, burnt sienna and cobalt and see how ti comes out. I just struggle with too many misplaced colors in paintings. The eye then tends to want to ping pong all over the painting in a kinda frantic manner. I bought rebelle 5 pro on-sale and can try different scenes with different co,or combos too, which will be good for practice as it has the undo button if something doesn't look right, but ultimately,wanna get to physical painting with confidence more.

I like your style of painting water color and it's great for landscapes. I usually paint very tight and I have observed that it doesn't works in landscapes. I'm trying to learn landscapes. I'm confused with your second point "not to use more than two colors". If I want to paint trees and bushes then I shouldn't be putting yellow,green,blue,brown on the first wash?

Oh so you're using gouache? That makes more sense. I was wondering why I couldn't see much of your pencil work underneath sometimes. I will persist with my watercolour set but I might mix some gouache with it some day as well. :) your paintings are dreamy. Thank you!
