"Sunday Afternoon in Prague"
Walking through Prague on our last European holiday, I was able to photograph street scenes in the low sun. Perfect subjects for watercolor painting.
This video is very long. It will show that watercolours take hours to make them look like they were painted in minutes.
You can scrub forward to get the feel of the painting, and then maybe play real time if you are painting along.
The original photo is available for download on my web site. www.shirleypeters.com
End Music: Epidemic Sound Damma Beatz: "Redial"
I hope you enjoy watching this painting, and maybe consider having a go yourself.

The pink building is a wonderful example of the viewer's eye (& brain) filling in the details. I watched you, SAW you paint that building, with shadow & a few squiggles of dark paint. Voila, a building with all kinds of detail around the windows!

Shirley you are the best but I have to say that I enjoyed watching the little bug run around the white edge of your photograph, really very cute and relaxing. You can be silly like me, so it was fun. No worries, you still do the best teaching on line !

Thank you for yet another great tutorial. I always enjoy watching you paint, and always learn something new. I am trying to figure out what the larger quill-type brush you used for most of the painting is. I looked at your list of brushes, but would like to know the exact brush and size as I really want to get one exactly like yours (I know I won’t magically paint like you though, lol). If you could let me know, I’d greatly appreciate it. :-)

Beautiful!! I really like your idea of trying some inexpensive paints and see how to make them work. We are retired now and i don't have the disposable income to buy really good artist quality paints. Sometimes when trying to layer a wash to get a deeper color orcshade, I get a flat lifeless color or worse yet , mud. Doesn't stop me from trying but I do get frustrated. Thank you ...I really enjoy watching you wirk!

@shirleypeters 4 жыл бұрын

I plan to buy the cheapest paints I can find, and video my efforts with them. It will be interesting to see how they perform. Especially on budget paper!

@barbaramunford5472 4 жыл бұрын

I use a hobby store brand or Jerry's Artarama brand. They are all student grade. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

@carlduffin Жыл бұрын

I am intrigued by the amount of detail you DON'T include rather than what you DO include, which results in a fresh painting which shows so much more and allows the viewers eye to engage in the scene. I am in the process of doing less to achieve more!

@chrishughes6588 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Shirley, another excellent teaching . I think you've raised the bar for the others. Just a suggestion , couldn't quite see all your left pallette , it's a benefit to see you mix colours .... Can't have too much information . Love the way you did the wash on the left and the cobbles and the light and the people and the shadows . Wonderful thank you so much.

@shirleypeters 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you for watching, and noted! I'll try to include all the palette area in my next video. But this means that the painting will be further away. I'll have to reconsider the angle maybe. Cheers

Hi Shirley Im new to your channel. Love your paintings in the background. What mediums do you paint with? I am trying acrylic but find them too flat and hard to blend. I hate that they dry dark. What would you suggest for a beginner?

@shirleypeters 4 жыл бұрын

+Alicia Garam I use oils for large paintings that need blending. You should use oils too. Acrylics are the hardest paints to use! If cost is a problem, try just buying: burnt sienna and ultramarine blue, and white. Do some paintings with these three colours. This was a beginners exercise at an art school I attended. Fun.
