Thank you so much for your teachings. I am a painter but I also learn a lot from other artists, and you are definitely a great teacher and artist. Again, thank you for your kindness.

Fantastic, great explanation of color and value...going through the beginning class right now and I already have my mind focusing on "values", I know I need to practice a lot, but your class and these companion videos help tremendously in removing a lot of the anxiety and frustration in thinking "there is no way i can do this", I feel confident I can! Thanks again Stan!

I had lost my hope in finding really good tutorials in watercolor in the internet. But I found you just by chance linked in another You Tube video. I love your videos. Straight to the point. You offer valuable and quite deep information in a very quick way. I love it. How you explain it, what you explain, and the confidence you show. Everything makes sense when you explain it, and it's helping me a lot. I have that nice sensation of being simply learning a lot and not getting confused or frustrated, as happens with other videos. Thanks so much from Spain. You are a great teacher.

So glad my lessons are helpful Mariam. Like you, when I was learning watercolor it seemed like everyone made it so complicated. After I learned, I realized it's very simple, if one wants to paint realistically. Accurate drawing, get the values right, just use red, yellow and blue to learn basic colors, watch the amount of water in your brush, choose a subject that isn't too hard. That's it. I wish you well, Stan

Thank you, Stan. I like loose watercolor, impressionism leaves me amazed, but I suppose you don't have so much control of what you do. Anyway, I find it so so so difficult. Realistic or not. Your teachings make me feel nothing is impossible. And your work is impressive. . Thank you so much again.

Stan Miller When I answered yesterday, I hadn’t seen your watercolor portraits yet. Now I can tell you i am so impressed. I didn’t know one could do that kind of painting so accurate with watercolor. I am amazed. 😳 You’re a master. And still you give us these wonderful advices to people like me, who start from zero, and answer our questions and comments. A huge thank you. People should give you thousands of likes. If they weren’t so lazy. There are not many teachers out there making it easy for you what is so complicated. :)

I've worked in egg tempera and in acrylics. Water color has been a mystery to me. Just seeing how Mr. Miller paints over the top of the colors to get his 'skin color' told me a lot. Mr. Miller, you are a very good teacher. I've had not very good ones in the past. Thank you for your excellent videos. I would like to know just what red, yellow and blue pigments were used.

I am trying to learn how to paint with watercolors following your teachings. I have looked at so many watercolor tutorials and have gotten no where until I found your videos. I have a question. I have an expensive 1" flat brush that keeps separating when wet. is this a bad brush? Can this be stopped? Thanks, Stan.
@Stanleylestermiller 5 жыл бұрын
If your brush separates when wet, doesn't sound good. Brushes do tend to spread apart when they start to get dry but by wetting them, they usually come back together.

The brand of watercolor paint is not important, use whatever brand you can find in your country. The more you pay, usually the better the paint. I use "tubes" of paint, not pan paint, not hard paint. We need to be able to squeeze out the paint so that it is soft, not hard.

Which red, which yellow, which blue? Cadmium red and yellow? Blue: Thalo, Ultramarine, Cobalt, Manganese?... The wrong color choices would make this exercise difficult to impossible.
@Stanleylestermiller 7 жыл бұрын
That's the point of most of my lessons....it's NOT important which red, yellow or blue. What IS important is get the drawing right, correct value, a good design...and then...everyone will ask you what colors you used. For the more advanced painter, yes...getting the exact color become more important...but these lessons are focused more on the beginners.
@10thgenpatriot 5 жыл бұрын
@@Stanleylestermiller yes, true. But, in your exercise here, please elaborate which red, yellow and blue you used, thanks.
@Stanleylestermiller 5 жыл бұрын
For the beginner, any red, any yellow or any blue. Just to get you started. After some effort with any red, yellow or blue, then one can move to a thalo or prussian blue, a cadmium or thalo red and a cadmium or hansa or lemon yellow. My concern is that we don't get too picky about our colors until we have experimented with a variety of red, yellow, blue combinations. This way one learns by experience, what to use and not use, rather then by specific directions. One learns color by experimenting in my opinion, not by writing down specific colors. Good luck!
