Hi Andrew. Thanks for sharing another great video. I enjoyed this one very much. What I like about the pure watercolour approach is that I can start almost anywhere and do the sky later. By the way, I’m almost done reading your new book on how to paint fresh loose watercolours. I will comment more later, but will say the book is an excellent read! It’s packed with useful information and is beautifully illustrated. I plan to take it with me on vacation next week and hope to complete several new paintings.

Just realised why some of my paintings can look flat. Watching you, I now know that sometimes I use the same flat washes by not varying the brush strokes as often as I should. Your picture shows flat and ‘dry brushstrokes’. I feel like this is what they call ‘A Light Bulb Moment’ 😃. 💡💡💡 So thank you Andrew for waking me up. It is all too easy to sink into monotonous painting.

@AndrewPittArtist 8 ай бұрын

You may have also noticed in the videos that I nearly always dip into another colour when I go back to replenish my brush. This helps to keep my washes interesting and varied (and not ‘flat’).The ‘trick’ is to change the colour but keep the same tone. Good luck and happy painting.

The lightness, intense colour and freshness is so appealing and you make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing this with us. Your paintings have an immediacy lacking with multiple washes. May I ask about the use of paint fresh from the tube? Do you discard paint you haven’t used when you have finished a painting? Or do you let it harden in the pan? I find that the hardened paint can be re softened with water but it isn’t the same - however discarding it seems so wasteful. Do you have a secret for that as well?

@AndrewPittArtist 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for getting in touch. My only ‘secret’ is paint regularly so the paint doesn’t get chance to harden.

Andrew, you’re a painting of boats is stunning. I love your fresh colors. Do you place your watercolor paper under the mat and paint on dry paper?

@AndrewPittArtist 6 ай бұрын

Yes and I nearly always paint on dry paper. I don’t like introducing an unknown amount of water to my paper which is going to further dilute the paint which is going to dry lighter anyway - doesn’t seem to be a helpful technique to me. The ‘water’ part of ‘watercolour’ is the hardest bit to control. www.andrewpitt.co.uk

@AndrewPittArtist Ай бұрын

Thanks for getting in touch. I’m not sure there is such a thing as the perfect brush. The only thing I recommend is keep to natural hair (avoid synthetic brushes). Also keep to round brushes, any medium to large size which points well. I will say, though, I have never solved a painting problem by spending money. Good luck.

@TheHosteen 4 ай бұрын

Hi Andrew, I was just wanting to check what you mean by using fresh gucky paint. Does this mean you fill each well of your palette with tube paint for each painting, and then discard the remainder when you are done? ie you wont come back to that old paint and re-moisten it for a further painting? I think I am probaly too frugal with my tube paints! That's where this question is coming from

@AndrewPittArtist 4 ай бұрын

Hi. Yes, I do replenish my paint when needed, but I don’t discard the old paint. I have to say I don’t have a problem with dried up, hard paint because I paint regularly. Painting often is the key. I don’t leave my palette long enough for the paint to dry hard. Soft, juicy paint is the key to rich colour. www.andrewpitt.co.uk
