Dear Alan - I cannot tell you what a delight it is to watch your wonderful videos. They are so informative and you are truly a master of the medium. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce these. You are a generous fellow!

The step by step commentary that you give on this video is excellent and so helpful to anyone wishing to either improve their painting skills or, as in my case, develop a more relaxed and less detailed style of painting. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.

Lazy be-blowed! There's 60 years of experience behind these paintings, and I hope people are grateful that you give us so much. I don't believe,by the way, that there's a mean, or selfish (or lazy!) bone in your body. Mind you - I've not asked the wife.....

Great video Alan, thank you. I've just learnt more about painting in the last 19:49 mins than I've ever learnt before. No one else explains painting so simply and has the insights, like you Alan, again many thanks mate.

just a note ,,in the lower half of your large tree if you have a light patch of say raw sienna your tree trunks and branches ect show through

So fun to watch you paint and listen to your explanation. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Alan for showing me this great way of painting fast and loose. I too am in my 80's and have been painting detailed paintings for over 30 years. Your method is great when outdoors for capturing the scene before you quickly instead of taking a photograph. Greypelt.

You don't mumble, Alan; maybe some people had trouble with your Wigan accent, but I've always understood every word. I completely understand what you mean by "spiking" - I've done it! But no more: I've been warned... I do admire the way your paintings take shape from your earliest brush-strokes, and without any preliminary drawing (usually); you show perspective without making a fetish of it: you just do it. I also agree about painting and thinking at the same time - couldn't do it!

Wonderful thank you. This has been so very helpful thank you Alan and it’s definitely not lazy, it’s experience shining through. Thanks again.

Greetings from South Africa!!!! THANKS so much for this I will try it out!!!!

thank you Pamela ,for your kind comments.. I like you to say how you want me to explain things ,,

I like it very much. It’s different than what is usual. Thank you, Alan.

Thank you so much for explaining and demonstrating this wonderful way of painting in watercolor. You said that your painting is .not elaborate and you are lazy but I think it is all the contrary You tell us so many things with a few strokes and color. I think is all the great art of watercolor. Merci

Really beautiful paintings, so well explained and relaxing to watch. Thank you Alan.

You are an inspiration. Thank you for clear instruction and demonstration. Don't worry too much about the mumbling, it is an insight into your delightful personality.

I love your way of loose painting Alan, I think you are a magnificent painter! If only I could be as good as you are one day. You make it look so easy!! Thank you for inspiring me!

I'm a new comer to this website and am so glad I found it. I have been painting for some years now but never had the good fortune of having a tutor like Alan Owen, whose gentle manner and voice make it very enjoyable to try and paint "loose": something I've been striving to do for years!! Cheers!

I love your style! I myself don't like detailed paintings so to me this is nice to look at. Thanks for the lovely explanation.

Thank you so much for this delightful tutorial Alan ... a pleasure both to watch and attempt. You totally take the "fear factor" away from watercolour painting, brilliant!

I love listening to you! Easy to follow and unpretentious. Thank you!

i love the way you explain this style of painting the lazy mans way, and the side of the brush, really learned a lot thank you so much.

so detailed information! so picturesque! thank you Alan

I love hearing you commentating your paintings as you go. I also love seeing what equipment you use.. Cheers Alan.

Thank you for this excellent video. I've wanted to try the loose style and this has encouraged me.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your gift of teaching. Enjoy your videos very much.

I LOVE your explanations.

Wonderful use of watercolor paints and brushes in building pictures with a technique of small touches moving light to dark as shapes magically take form as they begin from touches of color and drips of water

Thanks Alan.........simple gestures creates great beauty!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Not lazy - but a master of your style.

Beautiful! I'm going to try this tonight

what a great teaching..thank you...thank you...will try first thing in the morning

Alan, thank you so much for your videos. I love to watch them and listen to you - you sound just like my best friend in England (Yorkshire!) I am a fellow old duffer venturing into the world of watercolour painting in my dotage. It's lots of fun.

you are a great teacher! Thanks..

Thank you so much. I really enjoyed this demo. I’m in my eighties too, still trying to daube on some colour and enjoying it. Thank you for your detailed explanation. Very much appreciated. 😀👍

thank you, Alan for this lesson.

I welcome all the detail you can give but I really enjoy your mumbling, very much.

Wow! This is the first time I've been able to hear what you've been saying. Thank you so much. Your videos are good.

They always say less is best Alan. Thank you for your tips.

no painting art as wildly created as watercolor art! Amazing videos fromKZfaq!

Love this

Wonderful again Alan...

Thank you I thoroughly enjoyed the video

Thank you Alan. I love all your demonstrations and am learning a great deal. I am normally one of those "detail" painters so this is a challenge for me to see and paint things in a different way. I don't mind the "mumbling" at all and find you good company however this video did explain a few things I wondered about. Keep up the amazing work. You are making a difference in so many lives by sharing your talent and many years experience. Greetings from Ontario Canada.

Thank you for your videos Alan, I've learned quite a bit from them. Cheers!
