Ha Ha... I was like WTF really! - Well done.

That’s the best explanation of glazing I’ve come across ! Thanks for that Brian and for sharing all your wonderful work with us.

This was the most informative ive ever seen on glazing and how luminous it can be!! now i want to go paint and i love that!!! more more more!!!!! very inspirational!

You got me! First vid I've seen of yours and I'm like, WTF? Crayola palette and a bendy brush? Ay, Dios mío how did I get here!? Funny.

That book was one of the most impressive things I’ve seen! Amazing!

ok well my mind is blown away. love the book love the work and how kind of you to show us a few tricks of the trade . just amazing Thank you

Mr. Ashmore - this has been one of the very best demonstrations of how you use glazing to achieve the results you want. thank you!

Excellent video that tells a glazing story that starts with a hook, just like a good comic book.

Going to try this! Love the depth & glow - thank you for sharing 🙏👍

You are so humble..and, DEFINITELY have a reason to be egocentric. Your work is fantastic!! How many of us can say we had anything to do with Batman, Hulk, etc. Impressive work but putting family first says it all..now, I understand why your videos are refreshing!!! Please do as many as you can, build up audience and I am certain many of us would support you for your instruction thru Patreon..just a thought

The first minute of this video is the perfect way to start your day. Thank you for posting the humor and the education.

Thank you so much for sharing! So great seeing these illustrations full size! Incredible work.

I actually want to watch you paint one of your amazing pieces with the crayola paint set. The Crayola Paint Challenge!!! 🎨

really enjoyed this video, especially the tour of your work at the end and a view of how you work these days. great video!

Here we are in 2022 and I -- a newbie to making art and jumping into the deep end of the pool with watercolor -- have found this vlog of yours from 2018 and want to offer a huge THANK YOU for your great explanation of what and why regarding your palette. Your pacing was excellent, your palette swatch sheet was reinforcing (and good for getting a screen shot of rather than having to write notes), and your demonstration of mixing versus glazing was super clear. Again, thanks!!!

Great tutorial, thanks for explaining the glazing. You do great work! You said that glazing may not be new to us, well it is to me and I'm happy to have learned! I followed your Karloff tutorial and it turned out so well, since then I'm very interested in that technique but didn't have a name for it! Thanks so much!

This video is stunning. All your paintings are terrific. This is the best video on glazing technique. Thanks so much for sharing.

Absolution, one of My fav Batman Storys!!! 👍🏆

you art a crystal clear excellent teacher for sure. excellent work

I've watched your layering in your notebook sketches and always think I need to learn and try more of the glazing. This is the first time I've ever come across an explanation and description of why glazing and the true amazing amount of depth you can get from it. I mostly do quicker and more urban sketch type pieces, which is probably why I haven't tried as much of it - for time issues, but this would explain why I feel like some of my colors seem more muddy and flat. It would also help me with getting more depth my faces and things. Thank-you for this. I now want that Batman book, just to explore your layering awesomeness.

Great video, thanks for sharing! Glazing has a new meaning, I learned something :) Loved the illustrations, amazing work.

Thank you! First video I've seen about glazing, and I'll be trying it very soon. Beautiful paintings.

Very interesting ! I do this sometimes but I did't know it's an interesting technique that can give wonderful result ! Thank you.

you're a great teacher and the show and tell at the end was an eye opener!

Again, thank you for explaining glazing and the reasons why it’s so beneficial! It’s truly the only video I’ve learned this and you are SO right!! Sorry. Just had to tell you…lol

Stunning work!

I actually held my breath when I saw you pull out the Crayola "palette." And the brush! Good one, Brian! And your illustrations for the book were clearly time-consuming. I learned a lot from this video. Thank you so much for your time.

Thank you so much for sharing. I never really understood glazing before. Thanks again.

THUD..... That's the sound of my jaw hitting the floor. Your work is awesome. Your explanations are so very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing.

Wow.... never thought you could do that kind of art with watercolor. I'm just getting into watercolor and art for that matter ar age 33. Every painting or drawings mg I have done is with a o reference, only from the mind. My watercolor is mainly landscapes but completely made up. I wouldn't call them good but I have made a few I'm proud of, but only coming from my mind is what makes me excited... knowing this place would never exist at all if I didnt paint it.

Thank you so much for the information & demo of the glazing technique

Would love to really see you work with crayola a watercolor palette now!!

Great video, Brian! I am getting into watercolors now, after years of acrylic painting and I appreciate you sharing your incredible artwork with us! I also appreciate that you shared your palette colors as it helps me decide what colors I want to work with...every artist has their own 'go-to' palette, but yours is the closest to what I've been thinking for myself. Anyway, I look forward to viewing more of your videos as you have immense skill and I want to 'pick your brain' and learn it all lol.

Optically mixing...correct words ever...as a painter and a photographer I am pleased these this

Great video...soothing voice....and you were able to teach the concept of glazing perfectly!

Your work is absolutely stunning. I cannot believe how detailed each page of the comic book is. I can imagine how taxing it was!!

Really interresting for the beginner that I am. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and approach. Merci ! :-)

Very informative! I'm a self-taught and I also use glazing technique.

I’m up and rewatching some of my favorites!! I laughed out loud AGAIN! Love your videos and music Nancy Rolfe P.S. I won’t comment on everything I watch! Just had to tell you how funny the intro is even second time around

Great video. Got a better understanding of glazing. Thanks for sharing your beautiful art Brian. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

This was a wonderful view of your work, thank you!

Thank you for sharing- wonderful technique -

Wow, your illustrations are amazing-thanks for sharing! My son is studying to be an illustrator and I didn’t realize how intricate the coloring portion was compared to the drawing portion. 🎨👍

Stunning paintings!

Outstanding skill and knowledge in watercolour.

This is the first video i see from you, and i really reaaally like it. that batman comic is a great work, truly amaezing . I hope to see more of your content in the future, keep going c:

Ha! I was like...really?! Fun intro!

I have so much nostalgia for the Batman! Interesting techniques too, I haven't got watercolors yet but good to know all I need is 4-5 colors!!!

LOL you got me in that intro till the brush part lol. New subscriber here. Love your channel. Edit: I've just watched the last part of this video. I am even more a fan of your channel now. I love comics art.

Very good. This is one of those intro that stick with you and recol.

Man you have great helpful videos so glad I stumbled on your channel....thanks for your help

please do more sketchbook tours! your art is awesome!

Congratulations on the fantastic work.

Just WOW!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Almost started a search for the first palette :)

awesome. beautiful work

Beautiful comic book! Your work is fantastic!!...Congratulations on working with DC Comics!😃👍🏼

Brian, Thanks for sharing your colors. I am a museum educator, and due to the virus, I am having to teach online. I actually use Prang student watercolors in the tin, just because they are easier to use for kids. They actually work very well. Normally, I use either Windsor-Newton or Daniel Smith in my palette , depending on the color I want to use.

Thanks for sharing! Good video and amazing work!

This is so awesome! I also make comics with watercolor. Thank you for showing your originals and walking through some steps. Really cool. I love your work. I can’t wait to see what kind of videos you post in the future.

stunning work on that batman comic.

This was an amazing video! Thanks for sharing your techniques! I bet a cyan magenta yellow black combination is gorgeous too. I’ve been exploring this method myself. I come from a printing background. But I’m a nub painter. (New Sub)

Good stuff my friend--love that Batman book too :)

Excellent work, i especially liked the Gordon Ramsey picture in the hall. Lol........ It must have taken you ages to finish such elaborate comic art, respect and subscribed. Also good art can be done with crayola, but maybe not that cool bendy brush.

You're so funny and I love it!

I wanna have that bending brush!!!!!!! NOW!!!! I cannot live without one!!!! 😂

I've seen enough of your videos that I was smiling before I laughed out loud re: "bendy brush"... I appreciate your humor. I really appreciate your videos!!! It's refreshing to have info. given without big "hula" and/or "ego". I certainly don't want to offend anyone. I'm nearly 60, taught JH 36 yrs.. guess I've witnessed/dealt with children's attitudes changing to "all about/for me". It's sad, really, they'll miss out on joy of giving/helping/caring for others.. Still many great kiddos. Sorry. I hope I don't sound hateful. Just "where I am coming from"..lol (Like it matters...lol)

Great Art!

Ha ha you had me going for a minute there!

Great video, thank you.

Oh, gosh! I was About to close the page when you were saying how much you loved the bendy brush!! Hahaha! - Glad I didn't and got to see your awesome work! Marvel-lous! - ah mean - Super! - Ehrrmm… Good, better, Batman! ;-))

I must try using staining colours in order to layer better. I often put some granulating colour down and the second layer just lifts it off. Though I tend to agree with Bruce MacEvoy on Handprint ‘luminosity myth’ that light doesn’t pass back through the paint matter and make it glow more.

Thank you so much!

The intricate panels and spreads of Absolution must’ve taken forever! How long would it take you to do a page? A two page spread?

Very nice explanation Mr Brian and along with your work. I am actually a photographer but I like watercolour and I am a fresher to the medium. I understood the orange tone which is a mix of two primary colours but can you kindly explain why did you need glazing for the Grey tone for the background of the cover of the DC comic Batman. Why do you need a yellow wash initially in order to attain the final Payne's Grey tone. Please can you reply ? Greetings from India.

Love that brush! What is it?

Hi Brian - Welcome to the world of KZfaq. Love your videos and the explanation on glazing. Your work is excellent. I was sent to you via a Subscriber on my channel named Erin S. Props to her for sending me your way. Keep up the great work. ~Marty

Great video! I love your paintings. Please do a demo of something step by step.

Okay...okay. You tricked me. I was thinking...”wait what? Crayola bendy paint brush...?” Hahaha!

What kind of paper or illustration board did you use for these great illustrations?

I almost changed channels when you started talking about that kids paint set...lol!

Oh I always clean my palette. I'm constantly paranoid I'm going to run out of mixing space.

I wish you'd stuck with the Crayola bit because it was GREAT! Had to double check the post date to make sure it wasn't April first because this would've been a great april fool's prank silliness. Ah well, nice to see your actual palette, too!

I had a instructor in a community college in North Carolina that suggested buying a crayola pallet and whatever paper you had to practice painting. 😀

Great Video !! Best regards from Germany. Guenter

I WHAT A BENDY GRUSH TOOOOOOOO!!! LOL Wonderful video from start to finish and yes, I watched the whole thing. I was wondering when you were going to offer us a rubber chicken for lunch. I to am getting back into watercolor painting, but I’ve been away for longer than the others. Last time I painted I was a senior in high school (graduated back in 65) and I am well into my senior years again (I’ll be 73 in May) and picking up my old dusty brushes again. Weeeeell trying to. My tubes of W&N watercolors have all hardened so I have to reconstructed them. W&N told me they wount have the same vibrancy as new ones, but that’s ok for now....neither do I. LOL Very much like your videos, keep up the great work. BTW, I was taught the same thing in the beginning. Only 4 colors, Yellow, Red, Blue and Payne’s Gray.

You got me! 😂🤣😂🤣

For a moment u got me😅😂😂😂

Where do you get a green viridian? Every tube of viridian I have bought is blue.

Lol funny you got me.!

what paper handles that much glazing?

I seriously want to start painting.Can someone tell me what kind of paper and paints are available? I have some acrylic paint, can i add water to this paint?

When I was watching this from the beginning, I was thinking NO WAY that is your pallet!! LOL

please take a look and comment on the art of blood - a blood story of the mate and kent williams. thank you

sorry my english is bad what you mean about the other method that not glazing, what you do then?

Do you have an Australian Cattle Dog? I'm sitting here watching your videos as mine terrorizes her chew toy while staring at me and I hear the dog bark at 16:30 and it sounds exactly like her bark...

ah..you're a sepia man ! Good

I love to watercolor and me I just use 4 colors that's it

Brian your a funny guy,.. .

Primarily the primary colours...
