Absolutely beautiful! You are a master of loose painting. I love how you lifted out for the trees and dropped in the raw sienna. Your voice and descriptions are a pleasure to listen to. Many thanks.

Thank you Cathal. There are more lessons on the website but my main advice is very simple. Certainly read as much as you can and watch the videos but the more you paint the better you will get. Watercolour is all about confidence and confidence comes only with practice. I also have workshops through the year and again these will be on the website within the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Graham for your observations and reasons in the applications of paint to your lovely watercolour painting. Much appreciated.

Thank you. The first wash is done wet on dry paper but being careful to avoid any hard edges. I suppose it is not unlike wet in wet but I find pre-wetting the paper gives far less control and often results in granulation - an effect many people like but I don't. Granulation is also more likely if you paint with the board quite flat. I paint with the board anything from 45-80 degrees from the horizontal.

It is amazing how things come from "what in the world" to a work of art. You brought it all together and made it look so simple. I've painted landscapes in oils for years but got tired of the smell and clean up. So I decided to try watercolor and watch all the "greats" do their thing. I love watching and listening. Your voice is soothing and you explain things so nicely. Thank you so much for helping we aspiring beginners in watercolor.

Very refreshing and so pleased that you encourage lifting out as a technique as I hear so many poo poo that method. Its amazing how many artists refuse to do this. It proves on this painting how effective that technique is and doesnt take anything away from the freshness of this peice. Love it and look forward to you perhaps doing a workshop with us at Bandouille next year B

I have not seen the lifting color method used in a landscape before, not that I'm an expert (& honestly am so very forgetful these days that I may have just forgotten). You used it quite effectively and with your awesome style of painting in watercolor have a beautiful landscape. Thank you for taking the time to videotape your session. I love your art.

Hi Graham ... I've only recently started using watercolours; I love it ... and hate it. So demanding , but every little success then becomes a victory. I am stunned by the apparent simplicity of your technique to achieve such a superb outcome. I realise that's a sign of a good artist, but it also encourages others to try your methods. I've never been confident about lifting paint, but will now give it a try. I'm using Bockingford 530 gm paper, so, with any luck it should work. Many thanks for taking the time to put your work online.

Thank you for your kind comment. There are no extra colour effects added to the video. The original video was shot under tungsten light and was very warm in colour so a colour adjustment was made to make it more neutral. The final shot of the painting was taken with a stills camera and this is closer to the actual colours. This was the first time I had used a new lighting system. Next time I'll use a daylight filter on the lights and that should solve the problem.
