Thanks ZeeCee. Not going to shorten but may add some quick tip videos (not live). I don’t think it’s even possible to do a proper painting in real time in 10 minutes anyway.

Thankyou Shelly for letting us know what colors you use and your details to try help us ..your a great teacher! That's why you have us all watching waiting listening to every detail to help us

I know..she's Amazing!

Thanks so much Cathy. I think the person who suggested it was trying to suggest a shorter format in addition to my longer videos (to reach a new audience?).

I'm so grateful for your support and delighted that my videos are helpful. I hope to create more, thanks to your generosity. :)

Thanks so much Catherine. These are all things that frustrated me as I was learning watercolour, so I like to share my thinking process since I’ve already worked though these issues. Hopefully it saves someone else a few years of frustration.

Thanks for watching Jessie. I’m so happy that you are inspired. 😊

I’m so glad my demonstrations are helpful. Happy painting! 😊

I’m so glad to be of help to you in your painting journey. Thanks so much for watching! 😊

Thanks so much Rita. I’m so glad that I was able to share something new 😊

Thanks so much Rita. I’ve been staring at this one and am so eager to finish it. See you Wednesday!

I think so too because there is so much information between two brush strokes that gives us the time to think about it. I love this way of teaching 👏

Thanks very much. I won’t shorten my videos because realistic painting simply isn’t a fast process in real time. I think the person was suggesting some speed paintings or quick tips. 5 minute type of thing in addition to what I’m doing now.

Thanks so much Lynda. Have fun painting tulips 🌷🌷🌷

I’m so glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching. 😊

Thanks Janine. I’m glad you are enjoying my demos. ☺️

Thanks so much Ulla. I’m glad my demos are helpful. I will continue to take my time and explain my process. You simply can’t rush the realistic style that I do. 😊

Thanks so much Rick. I appreciate your support!! :)

I’m delighted that you are taking time to spend with me and my demonstrations Shari. Thanks so much.

I think seeing how wet the paper is can be very important. I'm glad you find it helpful :)

Thank you very much 😊

Thanks Wilma. My videos will stay the current long format. I may add a couple of pre-recorded ‘quick tip’ kinda things but for now this works for me. You can’t paint in my realistic style in 5 minutes. 😉

I’m so glad it was helpful. Thanks very much for watching Sherry.

Thanks Josephine. Thank you very much. It has taken many years for me to learn how to make it look easy. I struggled too. 😉

Thank you for watching Pam. I’m so happy that it was informative 😊

Found it! You tell us where to find it on Facebook!!!!

I enjoy questions D. Thanks for participating. Mist would be greats EXCEPT that you can’t control where it sprays so the background can bleed into your main subject. Therefore, make sure your first layer is 100% dry. I would re-wet your background with a soft brush, feather touch and without a lot of brushing. Over-brushing could disturb the first layer as it softens once it’s wet and make things muddy.

Thanks Mike. The yellow is to warm the paper colour before adding warmer tones on top … like bright red or orange. It adds more life to the colour rather than painting on the cool white of the paper.

Thanks so much for your support Mark. I really appreciate it. The consistency really depends on the area in which you are working. For richer color you need more pigment (cream) and for light values you need more water (tea). In any case, the paint should be fluid enough to that one will blend into the next. Be aware of how much paint is in your brush too though. In other words, if you fill a brush with a lot of any consistency next to a smaller amount of paint or water it will overwhelm the area on the paper. This is why I often blot my brush, even if it is loaded with colour.
