I absolutely love the way your colors run together! I've taken many watercolor classes and everyone seems to want the finished product to look like an oil painting. My joy is in seeing everything mix together, which is why I love watercolor. Thank you for giving me inspiration ...

Hi Jean, you really do know your skies! I must put your lessons into practice. I had a request for you. I'm so used to painting with round brushes that I no longer know how to use flat brushes! Except to lay down a large wash of colour as you did in the start of this demo. If you use flat brushes to paint with please could you do a brief tutorial? Many thanks.

QUESTION; Do you always use paint straight from the tube? Do you use up the extra if it dries on the pallet. Is the color more intense straight from the tube or just easier to get a lot down on paper? Thanks. Beautiful sky.

@JeanLurssen 5 жыл бұрын

I never used dried up paint Annette. It is never as rich as paint from the tube. I usually only put out as much as I think I am going to use. Hope this helps.

Hi, Lovely sunset. At 1:05 you said you are into hot pressed paper. Would you recommend it for sunsets? I have tried it and it dries up fast, but love the smoothness of the colors so I'm willing to persist with it.

@JeanLurssen 4 жыл бұрын

It's really a matter of personal preference. I do most of my watercolors on hot pressed paper because it suits my style of painting. This painting will also work on cold pressed paper though.

@mojazzmo Жыл бұрын

Thanks for this tutorial. I tried it today but had a few issues. When you wet the paper at the beginning, did you wet the foreground as well? The paint went on very thick in the foreground, any tips for that? And did you paint the foreground while the background was still wet. I wasn't quite sure how long you waited etc...Thanks in advance.

Hi Jo. This is something you just have to experiment with. I do a lot of experimenting before starting a painting to see how well colors mix.
