Great video it taught me so much !! Thank you so much ! Very tailented painter and teacher !

So inspiring! Thank you both

Having admired many of Kathleen's finished masterpieces, it was an absolute pleasure to watch her do a complete painting. Simply beautiful. Thank you, Eric & Kathleen.

I want to be Kathleen’s friend!!! What a lovely person with a fabulous talent!!

Kathleen is the first artist I have watched who has explained the reason for using a staining paint. I've tried avoiding them but now I have better understanding when to use them.

I love this method of portrait painting. I think Ill watch it a few more times. Thank you

What a delight to see and learn this process with an outstanding artist and teacher!!! Big hug! So grateful!

LoveThis sweet granddaughter. So I never seen K Giles work ..As a oil & pastel artist myself I’m getting into some W/C . She is an amazing artist .WOW ! Her work is the very best I’ve seen . Still life, Portraits, Her self portrait is so incredibly beautiful. Love to see her teach in home state of Idaho .. Thank you Eric you’re doing absolutely awesome job showcasing Artist we never knew about !!

Wow that is so beautiful. She knows exactly how much water with her colour. And she knows the degree of pigment lightening. Certainly an expert enjoyed so much.

Absolutely fascinating. I also paint using triads, but I have never seen anyone paint a portrait like this before - love it. Learnt so much today. Thank you.

Amazing detail with fairly large brushes in a small format! Wow!

Finally a different way to mix colors. Looks way easier. I’ll try this for sure. Thank you‼️

It looks so easy when you know what to do 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Her work is absolutely amazing and beautiful ! Thank you for sharing your artistic knowledge!

thank you for having Kathleen on I learned so much from her. absolutely wonderful.

Watching from Germany and being so impressed 😮 what an accomplished artist she is and knows exactly how the water and the paint responds. And doing it with the triad was such a great lesson to watch thank you ☺️

What a great artist!!! Such a beautiful faultless painting of a sweet little girl. This is my favourite painting demonstration so far. Thank you from Pat Barry, Firefly NSW Australia

Hello from beautiful Arizona! 🌵Just have to say . . . WOW!

Wow mind blown how amazing

Thank You...a huge from Chile 😊

Hi from Australia. Wonderful demonstration Kathleen and Eric. Amazing portrait. Thank you

I am in awe. Hugh Milne from Queensland, Australia

My before-lunch zoom meeting ran late, so I'm watching Art School Live an hour late! From Montréal & looking forward to Watercolor Live 2022 '-)

New to watercolours and have never done a portrait! This is mesmerising thankyou

Michigan. Such subtle and true capture those facial features and hair.

That was just fantastic.

Thank you, Eric!!! Exciting stuff!!!

Wet & wet watercolor technique is so fascinating to watch. Thanks! Kathleen... 👍❤

This is an absolutely fabulous demonstration, one of the best, if not THE best I have seen! I have subscribed to Kathleen's own channel, but I cannot fathom why she has so few subscribers - she is head and shoulders above the rest of the KZfaq artists.

Thank you for mentioning that the first wash is actually warm yellow because it really looks green

Oct 2023 learned so much about using the traid, thank you so much for having Kathleen Giles on your show , the degree of proficiency she has is what i espire to.

Wow such a beautiful painting. Well done !💕

Do enjoying watching Kathleen work,

From Wisconsin. Love this show and learn new techniques every time I watch. Thanks for sharing!

Really great tutorial. Some simple theories that will add so much to my practice. The triad, staining colors, and of her expertise in laying layers of glaze wet on wet as it dries. Love it!

I’m new to watercolor. I’m astonished by the beautiful portrait Ms Giles created with only 3 colors. I really have sooo much to learn. Thank you for this video. I’m so glad I have scrolled and found your channel!

I like the way she glazes layer upon layer and not mixing on her palette!

Thank you for this wonderful video. This is from India! Wishing Kathleen and all of you many a brush with colour, light and joy always

Much to take in, thank you! One suggestion would be to show the reference photo as you're making the painting, it's an insight into your artistic choices and what you do with what you see.. 👌😎👍

Thanks Kathleen. That was fascinating 💕

enjoyed her instruction very much.

This is absolutely beautiful! I love love this!

So inspiring thank you Kathleen and Eric amazing work.

This is just amazing. True master work

Awesome portrait in water colour. I want to try and learn it..

The foundation is an excellent sketch.

Watching this a year later. A great video- thank you!

How beautiful! Tasha Kidd, here, and I watched this great demonstration from Lafayette, Indiana. Thank you both for your talents and time. Much appreciated!

watching from Washington state. Amazing work!

What a beautiful watercolor painting! Just starting to paint in watercolor and this is very inspiring for me.

Beautiful! I'm excited to watch more! Thanks for having this on KZfaq.

Outdtanding...I save this video for future viewing.

You do the most Beautiful art that i have ever seen. This my favorite art on You tube is Eric❤

I was hoping you would go over the January class or program again, but I'll just search through the video because the instruction sounds intriguing. As for the portrait, I learned so much; thank you to Kathleen Giles, who is incredibly talented!

Excellent demo - thank you to Kathleen and you! Watching from Poros Island, Greece, where I am getting back to portraiture in watercolor again. Really appreciate the details on materials. I've been using 300 'gr' instead of 300LB D'arches paper. Aha! Waiting for my order to arrive this week!

Stunning work. Thank you for sharing your beautiful portrait technique.

Awesome technique! Beautiful ❤️

Beautiful portrait. Thanks to both you and Kathleen. :)

Your work is absolutely amazing! Do you teach portrait drawing and painting online?

Kathleen, thank you for this fabulous class, and may I ask what light you mentioned you use in your studio? Also, have you always stood to paint? Thank you. And thanks Eric, for this amazing channel!

Amazing relaxed and meaningful strokes. Love interview Eric and Mi. Giles is grossly beautiful in words and work. It was so much fu to be in awe. Thank you for sharing

Amazing! I'm afraid to paint my grandchildren because it's difficult to paint those sweet, soft childish faces, but your portrait is so incredible that I decided to give it a try!

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing!

Awesome demonstration! So many tips. Thanks 👏

thank you for sharing. I love your style and artistry.

Beautiful work! Great teacher! Illinois!

Amazing talent. Love this.

Hi from Ct. love this lesson. Thank you for this wet in wet tachnique.

So inspiring and beautiful. I know I’d never be able to do something like this! But enjoy learning the process :)

I am so impressed! Fantastic demo

Great work

"Would ya paint the eyes, it's freakin' me out!" LOL

Great teacher!

Beautiful!

Eric I saw your two interviews this week, and I think you’re both a great interviewer and a wonderful guest. I could see how your leadership skills showed through in helping the flow of the conversations.

Kathleen, this was an amazing experience! I love the triad of colors experience. It simplifies things when doing a portrait. What was the pearline color that you mixed with Pt halo blue in your last step? Thank you.

The mask does look beautiful in her hair!

Here’s living proof that watching tutorials from anybody under, o say, forty years of age, is largely pointless if you really want to learn from an artist that has done the reps and knows their stuff. Although of course this young lady is only twenty one, and so the exception to the rule! Masterful, and watercolour is such a difficult medium. The information on staining colours was gold!

Just a note re masking fluid - a friend who had a rug cleaning business told me that ammonia will get the masking fluid out of your carpet.

beautiful

Wonderful!

Fantastic painting. Im a beginner and keen to learn more

It really made me look. When she was doing the initial wash of yellow! It looked green on my screen. Does anyone have this problem? I never had this problem before on my iPad. If they said yellow, it looked yellow. Glad to have found you. Retta from Indiana, blessings

Hello from Townville SC

Amazing to watch! Thank you for this demonstration. I would like to know what size brush is being used, please?

Great video.

Excellent

😍

Great plastic wrap tip-thanks

Amazing

Watching from Georgia. I couldn’t watch live but this is really helpful. Kathleen mentioned not wanting to see the pencil lines. What about artist grade watercolor pencil rather than graphite? Maybe in a matching color?

Ms Giles, This technique is so interesting. I've watched the video twice now and probably will again. I like the three color palette and the layering and am anxious to try it. I, too, use Arches 300 much of the time because I'm not crazy about stretching paper. I assume you use various reds, blues and yellows, depending on the subject. Is their a base triad of primary colors to begin with?

My name is Jack and I am from Cincinnati Ohio. Great demo.

I have always been shy about doing portraits. She makes it look so doable! I really appreciate seeing her skills!!

I am from AZ

Kathleen Giles - you mentioned Turner Permanent Yellow Light as your yellow - I see a Permanent Lemon or a Permanent Yellow in their line of paint, but can’t find Permanent Yellow Light. Which would you recommend?

What is biggest, looks like 2.5x3" wash brush used at end?

How is she adding moisture to her brush?
