He started doing this for us during the pandemic to keep us all motivated and inspired. He also does have a business to promote which is a necessary part of the daily videos. Let’s lift each other up instead of criticizing.

I’ve tried watercolor years ago, was still working retail, just became very frustrated with the process. I’m now retired, have a granddaughter who taught herself how to play the guitar by watching You Tube. I figured I could learn painting that way too. Now at 80 years old, I’m enjoying all the instruction that is free here! Thank you for getting me started on a new addiction! Lol! I’m not doing too bad. Proud of my self!

Is there somewhere we can look at the final painting? I’m really interested in looking at it front on not in an angle. And of course when the paint is dry hopefully also finished. I love the loose feeling and like to see how it ends up.

Eric, you talk too much! You spent the whole first half of the video yakking with Thomas. Then you told him he only had 20 minutes or so to complete the demo. Instead of painting, you talked. Then, had the affrontery to tell him he only had 3 minutes left. How rude. I’ve tried to watch some of your other videos with well known artists, but they’re all the same…too much Eric and not enough content.
@barbarawhitehead54882 жыл бұрын
Agree completely. Schaller is introduced as probably the best watercolorist in America, then Eric talks which prevents Schaller from starting. This resulted in painting being much less complete than it could have been, and even moreso it rushed Schaller’s explanations of techniques. Thank you Pat for stating this, I value these videos and would love to have seen/heard 20 more minutes from Schaller.

When Thomas says that he paints in complimentaries, it sounded like he was speaking about mixing complimentaries versus visual complimentaries; can anyone clarify?
@morgenmachen24002 жыл бұрын
He uses visual complementaries. If you watch him paint regularly (it's not apparent here), he works out of his palette directly, doing any mixing on the paper.
@belle42 Жыл бұрын
Visual complimentaries means the synthesis of two opposite colors that our eyes blend to make a new color. That's not what Thomas does in his paintings. He typically uses a trio of secondary complimentary colors to play off each other to create contrast and an emotional element. His favorites are purple, orange and green in various shades and tones.
