Following Lessons A & B, this lesson C continues to show one how to create transitions from dark to light, from color to color. Very basic but also difficult techniques.

@@Stanleylestermiller I have a questions. Can I use Ultramarine Blue instead of Phthalocyanine Blue, why is using Phthalo Blue red shade not green shade?

@meherenow 6 күн бұрын

Using red shade will mix a better purple than using green shade as the red is warmer

@@vinowakart Ultramarine Blue is a red blue. It will make a better purple when mixed with red, but ultramarine blue cannot make a good green mixed with yellow. Both Phthalo blue red and green shade work much better then Ultramarine blue for mixing color. Phthalo blue red shade makes a better purple when mixed with red...but not a very good green. The green shade makes a better green but not a very good purple...

This was fantastic -- I think you're the only one I have seen who actually had your water in the shot, actually showing me how much water I should be using. Those little windows to check color? Oh man, what an eye-opener! Thank you !

Love your teaching, so inspirational! Watercolor washes are so tranquil to look at but difficult to achieve without practice. Your videos through the years have helped. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Stan, for sharing your knowledge, your techniques and your reasons for the steps you make. Is there any way you could use 2 or more water containers - at least when you film? A glass or two(2) to rinse your brush clean and a 2nd or 3rd glass to have fresh clean water to use for the yummy new paints, for example yellow 😃 I was a self-taught watercolorist for 23 years and silk painting found me 10(10) years ago. The two mediums are very similar. In fact, I use watercolor techniques to paint wildlife, pet portraits and people portraits on my silks. I'm learning faces and more from you to put on my silks. Thank you for generously teaching on KZfaq! God bless!

Needing clean water is relatively unimportant for the beginning watercolorist. I normally have a larger container but for the small amount of painting I did for the lesson, one small cup of water was plenty. If you are painting large and doing very colorful paintings, then yes, having two or three containers for water might be helpful, but even when I'm doing my normal studio painting, I only use one container for water...I simply dump it out and get fresh water if it gets dirty. Glad the lesson was helpful.

Hi Stan, great video. I have seen you do this in person during a workshop you gave a few years ago, so it's great to see it again. I have learned a lot from you. One thing that stands out is the fearless way you can work on a portrait in sections and never seem to mess up bringing each part together at the end. That's hard for me and I inevitably try to do it all at once and it looks patchy. Thanks again.

Glad the lesson is helpful. To become quicker and smoother in applying a series of washes one needs to practice what I show in Lessons A, B and C...every day. Like doing scales on the piano. I would recommend creating transitional washes, in black and white and also in color, where you blend out the edges so there is no sharp edge when you are done, 15 minutes a day for at least a month. It just takes lots and lots of practice to be able to do this smoothly.
