What an absolute pleasure to spend nearly two hours watching your in depth work with constant tutoring. I for one would be disappointed if you cut them down from real time. I certainly don’t consider myself as a beginner having painted for many years but I still manage to take something from your videos. Thanks.

I absolutely love that you don't cut or speed up your videos, and I feel it is one of the (many) things that makes you stand out from other channels. We can just paint along with you! Hope your channel will attract more viewers and subscribers so that you can continue posting awesome tutorials!

As a child, I perceive your lectures as something beautiful and incomprehensible. Thanks for the momentum!

No changes please, I love your video’s as they are!🙏🏻☺️

Thank you so much for the full length video. I appreciate hearing how you approach each area. As a new painter, with no formal training, you are giving me knowledge and confidence! I am going to rewatch all your videos so I can start practicing in a more deliberate way.

I really like the length of this two-part demo. I especially appreciate how you detailed fixing the little mistakes. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

I have been dabbling with watercolors for many years, watching a lot of tutorials and taking classes, trying to nail down my ‘style’, without much success. I have to say that when I saw your paintings, I thought to myself, ‘that is it’. Your serene, quiet, paintings are exactly why I love watercolour. Thank you so much!

I feel like I've learned so much watching and listening to you paint. Don't leave anything out. I'll be watching.

Gosh, you are a brilliant teacher and artist! Thank you for the wonderful lessons!

The foreground grass area with white dots is uncharacteristic of your usual clean, clear, translucent watercolours. Love the rest of your instruction and the beautiful painting. Really like the delicate way you have done the shoreline waves and the line of seaweed on the sand - these lines complement one another. Thank you for your videos.

Absolutely do NOT cur these videos. Experiencing your thought processes and how you choose how, when, and why you paint at every point in the process is one of the most valuable parts of the videos. You are a wonderful teacher and a fantastic artist.

This was a joy to watch (Part 1 & 2 ) and taught me patience and insight, attention to tiny details (but not too much ! ) and going with the feeling of the scene instead of capturing whatever was in the picture. Beautifully said : to let the painting itself dictate what will come next rather than only the subject in question. Your explanation of "control" versus letting go of control was superb. I enjoy the leaving to the imagination. I appreciate the time you took to go through this and would not cut off any of it. So now that I've been on this thoughtful journey , I'll try it ,watching through once again. First I have to let this all sink in ! Thank you !!!

Didn't know that such long video can be so enthralling. Love to watch you soooooo much to the point of falling for you ❤

Quality as always. I’d love to see more step by step paintings

Thank you so much for this video and sharing you knowledge. So generous of you. Definitely keep the videos in real time. It's the only way we, the viewers, can judge the timing of the application.You can't learn anything from those speeded up videos. I love to watch paint dry.

So enjoyed the long two part videos! So many techniques demonstrated with natural straightforward instruction that I find percolates, resonates in a way that I am never bored and eager for more. Your patience, ease and respect for your audience really shines and I for one am totally taken in by your style, process and enthusiasm. Looking forward to more longer videos. Many thanks to you and others who clearly are enthralled by your honest confident narration.

Thank you for this in-depth video. It is so helpful in understanding how to "build" a painting.

Amazing patience to explain and justify every brush stroke ...enjoyed both of these inspirational watercolour videos.

I am old. I have just begun to use watercolors. Learning from you is such a pleasure.Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with us - it was so useful to see you work through this and hear your decision-making process. Whilst I can learn just from watching other people paint, having that internal process described out loud is so very useful! I'd love to see more like this if you have the time!

Thank you Olly. I put these two videos off for some time because together they came to nearly two hours but it was worth it. Please do not at cut anything. This was a valuable insight into the way a professional painter approaches a painting and what a wonderful sky. I still have difficulty with skies and will try this one as an exercise. Many thanks for all your efforts. Nick

Not too long at all for me. It was utterly fascinating to hear such a detailed narrative and see how you accomplish your beautiful painting. I am very, very grateful and hope you generously share more demos like this. Now I can try painting alongside you.Here goes!

Hatice Dengiz It is a great pleasure and learning journey to watch your videos and get inspiration from them. I personally would like to see more demo videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge generously.

Please don't cut anything! You have greatly helped me in so many areas of my painting and I cannot thank you enough!!!! You are a wonderful artist and it appears person...your calming voice and the speed at which you go is absolutely perfect! I watch several artists to learn from, however you truly are my favorite and are a joy to watch. Thanks again!!!

I have gained much from your real time lesson here Oliver, and very grateful to be able to watch how you apply your techniques...

Not too long at all. Just perfect in figuring out your methods. So many tutorials fast forward at a critical moment. I really loved watching these two videos.

What a great teaching. You're so true in what you're explaining. This is going to take me back to apply the knowledge to my stile and not trying to paint coping some one else. I had watched so many videos that it has stopped me from my own way of painting. Thank you very much Olived for being such an honest human being. You're right, we want everything to happen with a touch of a button! Gracias, Adela

Thank you Oliver. I very much appreciate the time and thought you put into this demonstration and found your explanations and commentary just right. In particular it was helpful for me to see how you work from start to finish and how you make decisions and handle missteps along the way. I also like the harmony in your colour palette and overall softness in this piece. As a novice it was very helpful seeing how the work came together through each stage. I'm interested in learning more about your use of light in landscapes as many of your works are exceptional in this area. Again thank you - and I agree the decision to gull was right on - providing a nice animation to the scene.

Patty- I so enjoyed watching these two videos. I really understand now the point of the sketch first then paint later.

What a joy to watch you paint part 2 of Poole Harbour, and to do major surgery on an area that needed some attention in the trees. I learned so much from watching you, please don't cut anything out! It was also very interesting to see your colours - they look so grey on the palette, and yet so vibrant and "green" in the background trees, and distant hill. Seagulls are fab! When I'm getting to the end, and faffing about, if I want to change/add anything which starts with the thought, "I'll just ..." , I tend not to do it. I have found that "I'll just ..." never works out well. Thank you Olly, for another fantastic tutorial! 👍😀

I am enjoying all your videos. Thank you for showing how to fix little mistakes and giving warnings of things that can happen. You are an excellent teacher.

I love to see your whole process and I’ve learned so much along the way! Please, don’t speed up or cut anything. This really works and helps a lot!

Please don’t cut anything! Really good tips and ideas! Really enjoyed it!

Your tutorials are amazing. Thorough and super educational, and inspiring, and I LOVE them.

Love this tutorial and all of your vids. No it is not at all too long. It is great to see the whole process in for the most part real time and your narration of why you are doing what you are doing is excellent. Your vids have really jump started my painting! Thank you!!

Hello Oliver; first of all thank you for doing your instructional videos and sharing them with us. I've watched a lot of watercolour tutorials (many of them very good) but you have managed to create some of the very best I've ever seen in this series. They all build on each other, tie in so well, and bring something new and fresh to this online learning experience. I'm so glad I found you, wish I'd watched this series when I first started, and I look forward to seeing more. I think you've hit just the right note - don't change what you're doing unless YOU think you should. You obviously understand how to approach it, and just need to practice, as WE all do with the paint ;). Thanks again!

You can learn so much by watching your videos, so I wouldn't cut any of them. I love your style. It's my idea of perfect watercolour painting! The final result is really peaceful and soothing, just what watercolour does when you're painting. I'm a sort of beginner (having started about a year ago and not having any kind of artistic background) but I'm trying to learn from these tutorials which I find very helpful. Thank you, Oliver.

Toujours un plaisir d'écouter commenter votre peinture

The more I watch your tutorials, the more I realise how little I know about painting a successful watercolour! Your knowledge is greatly appreciated! Thanks Olly 😊

Thank you Oliver you are a great artist and teacher I love your paintings Kind regards fron France mille merci

A beautiful painting but I really appreciate you describing your process in such great detail. What an extraordinary tutorial that needs to be viewed multiple times to try an understand the many, many tips for improving your paintings.

Thank you so much for your tutorials, they are easy to follow, you explain the points all very well, it becomes a pleasure to learn. Now I just have to start. Best regards.

Thanks Oliver ,your gentle ,mindful approach is really refreshing and brings some much needed soul to KZfaq weirdly I love how you show how challenging this style of watercolour painting is ,no instant fix ,also you show the holistic nature of looking, drawing ,painting ,and being present in the landscape ,the sounds smells feelings ,I love spending long days just being with my materials and watching the sky and sea here in Folkestone .Really kind of you to offer these wonderful lessons kindest regards Tim

Oliver, thank you again for sharing your talent and knowledge with us. Your tutorials are so wonderfully informative, please don’t change a thing!

Each of your brush strokes is full of loving care, your channel is so delightful und educational - the best I have ever seen. Thank you so much, Sir. By the way, this is Kristiane from Hamburg/Germany. I found „you“ a few days ago by pure chance, and am so glad 😃

Wonderful demonstration with valuable tips on composition, color-water ratio, tonal values, brush-handling and finishing strokes. Both the videos keep the viewers travel with the master painter along the canvas from start to finish. Thank you, Mr.Oliver.

I love the way you teach and paint I am 77 and still trying to paint not very good but sometimes I’m pleased with the results. It’s a pleasure to watch you teach painting. Thank you very much happy New Year. Colin

This was amazing. Worth the time. Very helpful. Thank you very much. Appreciated. I follow almost all your videos.

Thanks Oli for this demo very pedagogic. I like very much this real time length! please keep on, you're so helpfull

Thank you so much for your gentle instruction. I love the long videos because you teach and demonstrate why and how you paint the way you do. I have learned more from just two or three of your videos than I have from dozens of other tutorials. Please manage to keep teaching just the way you do. I wish you every success with your painting. Grateful thanks from Canada. Teresa

I have recently started to learn watercolor. Your videos have been extremely helpful. I have been watching them in order. I have learned so much. Thank you very much.

I like your saying ""freshness"" in your paintings.I have learnt w/c for several years and have watched many w/colourists, learning their techniques etc...However, my colors tend to be stronger ( deeper in contrast) and after watching your rendition , I decided yr style is much better, there is ""softness"" and a high degree of transparency which is often difficult for me to achieve. Thank yoh so much for yr demonstrations!

Hi Oliver I have just discovered your videos - love the way you paint and hope to learn so much from your wonderful tutoring - thank you so much for sharing - please don't cut anything am so inspired.

I really admire your style of painting! Its so beautiful! Your tutorials are excellent, I like the pace and your explanations, Thank You!

Thank you. Im an absolute beginner. I have been learning from ALL the youtube video artists. I have to say I am learning unique things from your videos. I love the real time painting and I think Im going to paint along with you... Im excited to practice what you are doing... how you are using and responding to how the water and pigments are moving. Ive enjoyed all your videos. Im not good at explaining .. but you absolutely bring YOUR knowledge to the video and it is important. So im very grateful you are happy to teach and share. I really loved your loose / tight painting video. I do NOT want to paint by numbers or just colour it in. I actually dont want to paint landscapes I want to paint Australia's flora. But that doesnt matter. Best wishes.

Just beautiful! I “fall into” your paintings as I find them so compelling to look at. I love the length and the detail of the demo, if someone is after instant gratification, they probably shouldn’t be trying to learn watercolour! Thank you for imparting your knowledge and providing such inspiration

More! More! More! The level of detail and looseness and love of painting melts your videos both relaxing and fun to watch and also super educational. Thank you!

I have learned so much just watching two of your tutorials. You explain in-depth so many things with a teaching style that guides a person to become competent, learning techniques that enhance one's approach. I took a basic class once at the community college, many years ago. Looking forward to rediscovering this art form and becoming a much better painter, because of your thoughtful teaching. Thank you so much

Many thanks Oliver it's an amazing process and the result is magnificent.

Beautiful. And your are a great teacher. Thank you

Thank you for this great tutorial. I appreciated your doing it in real time. I could paint along without rushing, and without having to pause the video. The commentary is great. I look forward to following more of your lessons!

Fabulous Oliver, learning so much from your videos..

I have watched many of your Video tutorials and find the way you explain everything to be so informative and interesting. I have painted for quite a few years but need to 'try not to include everything' as my paintings can get rather tight. I have been unable to paint for a while due to illness and just relaxing and watching how you approach your paintings from start to finish has been so uplifting and enjoyable. Your colour mixing is lovely and your skies so delicate. I am hoping soon to be well enough to paint again and will try some of the tutorials. Thank you.

A Fantastic painting. Really enjoyed the demo, many Thanks

Wonderful! I agree with everyone that your teaching style is so helpful and informative; please don’t cut out anything! You walk us through your thought processes and it is so beneficial to see how you solve problems - helps me not to feel so overwhelmed. I’m looking forward to more tutorials from you and feel blessed that you are so generous with your time and talent.

Loved watching how the painting developed. I still have a long way to go, but learnt a lot listening and watching. Thank you so much

No don’t cut the video short! Loved every minute of it! Would be great to see more of this type videos really. Thanks for showing the thought process behind it. It gives another dimension to the art piece.

Thank you for not shortening the video. It was great to see your decisions step by step through the whole process.

Thank you for this full length video. I really enjoyed to paint along. The first positive thing was the sky. I was really surprised to achieve such a nice sky following your instructions in particular to rewet before adding more darks. Your way to detail the different parts of the landscape helps a lot. And at the end I really enjoyed the result. Even my painting is only a pale copy of yours I could feel the atmosphere of this warm summer day near the sea. I totally love your way of painting landscapes. By he way, in one of your videos I think you mentioned a tutorial about the different perspectives, but I couldn't find it.

Excellent in the way you described the thoughts before and after in a full painting not speeded up. Loved the sky, have tried 3 times and it’s improving each time. Thank you for taking the time to do a teaching Video 👌👌

Sir, I absolute enjoy watching your painting and it is very informative. I am just started watercolor painting and also struggling as a beginner. Your advice and instructions are helpful. Thank you so much.

I completely enjoyed these two tutorials. A beautiful painting, and you are amazingly talented, thank you for sharing your talents with us. You have shown and explained things other artists haven't touched on. I appreciate you. Your sky is very beautiful, I loved all of it.

Thank you, you’re instruction made me understand how much more intentional I need to become in deciding my brush strokes and soft subtle suggestions of them.

Don’t cut anything out!!! These are the best hours I spent learning from you. The in-depth instruction, your thinking process, address the problem, are valuable. My painting is getting better because of following your videos. I watched everyone and some twice so that I can complete the exercises.

A very inspiring video, thank you so much! I like your videos that show the whole process and learn a lot from them. I would love to see more of this real time demonstrations with all you tutoring.

That was absolutely lovely. My wife and I watched Part 1 & Part 2. Now, I will try to duplicate what you have done by applying your techniques then pausing it and playing it so I dont miss anything while Im painting. I like how you added the seagulls at the end. That gave the painting more life. My wife said your painting has more depth than the actual picture. Its like you can walk on the beach its very three dimensional. PS - our cat Pecan was laser focused while you were painting, she was following all your brush strokes Ha! 😊

Thank you! I learned a lot with this demo, good tricks and all the sequences of the different steps without ruining the previous work. I just love your tutorials❣️

Your demonstration gives me a much better idea of how to actually finish a W/C painting. I haven't painted for awhile since I usually gave up at the ugly stage & didn't how to proceed. You have shown me that there's always decisions to be made & to let the painting tell you what is needed. That goes without saying, it does take a lot of experience to know how the paints will work with each other & water. I just discovered your work & it's perfect for where I want to go with my style.

This was marvellous. Thanks so much. I get hung up on detail and copying and this was really refreshing.

Oliver this 2 part lesson was perfect, I can not say how much I learned from this. Thank you ! Bob

I’m loving this full length tutorial, you explain things so well. And loved the fact you showed how to fix the gap in the trees, made me lol when you talked about filling it with balloons!!! :D

I agree with others that watching the full process of you painting from beginning to end was so beneficial. Having just watched your previous short videos this demo pulled them all together in a very real way. I especially liked hearing your thought process around the decisions and techniques you used. I'm glad I stumbled across your channel and just love the fresh peaceful look to the way you capture our beautiful English landscape! Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your skills and passing on encouragement and technique to those of us who aspire to be good watercolor artists. Your generosity is very much appreciated. I've learned so much from this and other videos you have made. Many "ah ha" moments!

Thanks so much for this. Haven't felt this inspired in over a year. So glad I found you!

Fresh video. Watching now, thank you!! 🙌🏼

Thank you Oliver for this excellent two part series and your inspiring words. Don’t change anything!

Thank you Oliver for such a detailed instruction in landscape painting. Not only have I learned many useful tips, but your calm, unflustered approach is quite therapeutic to watch! I definitely need to slow down and plan my work more carefully. I hope to watch more of your videos. 🙂

I love all of the detail description you put in as you go about the colors you are using and precautions to take because I am learning. Thank you.

No not too long. All problems and good points that we will all have ,well covered.thank you.

Great video really enjoyed it Oliver. Your paintings always look lovely and fresh. More please !

Absolutely loved these videos thank you so much for your generosity in sharing such detailed tutorials. I have so much to learn and I found these so valuable. I will go back and watch them again. And that sky was really beautiful!

a very interesting lesson as usual.thankyou so much

Delightfully inspiring... Kind regards Keith

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and expertise! Your work is absolutely beautiful - just your skies alone are amazing to behold

There are some videos speeding up to show off the technology. It's impossible to learn the real point of knowledge, thank you very much for making such a long video, I don't want to miss a second, because I learned a lot of useful skills and corrected a lot of my troubles and mistakes in painting. Couldn't be more grateful, thank you teacher.

Enjoying your easygoing style. Lovely painting. Don’t change a thing

Thank you so much for sharing a full length tutorial. Don’t cut them short! They are giving me more confidence. As new to watercolor, I often feel discouraged after watching a cut video and trying it myself only to have been left scratching my head! Your work is soft and portrays the essence of watercolor beautifully.

Thank you Oliver. Fabulous !!! Watching your full process of painting is really helpful.

Loved it just as it is. Thanks

Thank you for this excellent demostration, Master Oliver.
