I’m enjoying your process immensely. I’ve gone through a lot of yt videos to study watercolor and I’ve learned so much over this past year but your video was refreshing and I love the fact that you explained as you go. The patience definitely pays off. Thank you. Please keep your videos coming.

Great painting. I love how the gradations look and the strong contrast of certain values and tones really makes things pop. I really appreciated when you said it’s no different making something complicated like this vs something more simple as long as you break it into steps. Really demystifies things for me. Also the tip about each layer not needing to be perfect because it evens itself out once you layer over it. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, thank for the thoughtful comment, I'm delighted you found some value in this video. I know people can be discouraged early in the painting process, because watercolour does take some persistence and patience to build the layers before you generally see the results you want. 💙

Absolutely delightful! Love the overall joyful tone your paintings emit with their soothing, harmonious color scheme. Would love to see a list of colors you use, perhaps in your descriptions : ) or else mentioned in the video would be very helpful. Thanks for sharing your process and tips!

Amazing step by step tutorial. It is such a great quality video, everything is explained perfectly! Which kind of paper did you use? And most importantly: is there a way to receive the initial sketch in order to follow the tutorial without having to deal with the initial sketch? Happy Painting :)

Perfect question. If they are printed it's definitely colouring in.

My first visit to your channel and I love your work, I subscribed. 🥰 May I ask what type of paper you use for your illustration paintings? Also how do you keep your frisket from drying out in the bottle. I never get to use the whole bottle because it dries out and becomes lumpy and thick when I'm half way down. It's expensive to have to buy more. Thank you for your video your painting is beautiful!

@ChristopherMaxwellArt 2 ай бұрын

I use Arches 300 GSM cotton paper, this illustration is HOT Pressed. Try pouring what you need into a smaller container for each artwork, this way you can keep the lid on the masking fluid closed. Thanks for watching 💙
