Beautiful! did you add white to the rose?

Hi Marc, I didn’t catch the name of the nibs you used here. Can you tell me the names? Thanks

Excellent. This guy should have much more followers.

This is just beautiful to watch. So often good explanations are juxtaposed to bad rendered examples. Here, excellent explanations with a BEAUTIFUL rendering. This is so inspiring. Thank you. Never stop. Could have been much longer!

Love the longer format. Watching you work is so interesting and insightful. More please!

Love your work🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

You're right, there is no time for pencil sketching

I’m curious what brand of brush you’re using? I assume it’s sable, really nice sharp point. Nice painting!

When you are charging colors how do you decide what colors to work with? Is there a formula you use or just personal preference. Also, when charging the colors is it random when you change the color? It doesn’t appear to be as simple as warm colors in the light and cooler colors in the shadow?

I adore your skills 😍😍

I know I’m late to the party, but this is fantastic! It showed the time involved to help me plan for urban sketches, you shared what you thought was a mistake (relatable), and it was great to hear that you continued to think about it and came back the next day to modify the drawing to your satisfaction. I enjoyed the longer format and the insights you provided. I’m trying the Sargent scratches for sure. Thanks for taking the time to share with us!

Love the sketching of the orchestra while they are playing :)

Your style is really cool

Always love and appreciate your videos, Marc! Thank you for doing this! 🙏💜

Fascinating to watch…Thankyou…..what colours are you using for the peachy shades?

You gave me a new way of thinking about working through a piece. Thank you!

Excellent dynamics of your watercolor process. reflection action at all times. thanks for sharing

Thank you, This has been very helpful. I am doing the direct watercolor challenge and my one attempt at flowers was a failure.Now I will try again.

These are fabulous, Marc! Inspiring! Thank you for showing your approach.

I enjoyed this very much! I'd never seen anyone do the ticking with the xacto. And it was really helpful to see how to picked and accented the planes of the face and outfit. Great tip on going back at the end to touch up the darks. I'm always afraid I'm overworking it, but I can see where this would be super helpful without actually overworking it...if careful.

Thanks so much for making these videos! They make me want to get my watercolours out and paint 😅

Thanks for doing this…I love the way you talk us through your thought process. I know you’ve moved on from watercolor to other media in your own work, but if you ever decide to do a travel workshop with sketching and watercolor, count me in. Much appreciation!

Sweet video, very nice florals!

Wonderful video!!! thanks for sharing your process!

These long form videos are really interesting!! If you made more I'd be pretty stoked.

I love this so much! I’d really enjoy seeing more of this.

Thank you for showing the entire process! I love your work.

This was great. So many great tips. Fascinating how you did the face. I'm still at the just colouring it all in phases. Thanks for this.

Superb, Marc. This more detailed (and slower) approach is what I aspire to do. Clearly I need better water/brush control to achieve it. Thanks for this.

Loved the longer version. Watching the way you make the brush dance across the page is very mesmerizing. I’ve watched this a few times now and learn more each time. Thank you so much for sharing this.

Marc, for our edification, could you post the actual reference photo? Would love to see how it was rendered. Thank you!

I love the long form. Thanks for the helpful commentary Marc.

Much prefer the long format as it is easier to understand how a sketch is painted from start to end, what goes first or later. And the thought process in between. Thanks very much!

Really enjoyed seeing the entire process. Enlightening!!! Thank you. Hope to see more soon

Love the longer format

I do like both formats, but being able to watch the entire process with this longer video is very educational. It can really provide specifics on this type of watercolor painting. It was so interesting to hear about Sargent, as I just finished a virtual tour of his paintings. Unfortunately, they focused more on his portraits than his watercolors. She said that would be a different tour. I did learn a lot, though, and it certainly helped me understand your reference to scraping. Thank you so much, Marc! Brilliant, as always. 😊😊

very interesting thanks

I like both formats. It's very interesting sometimes to see all the small steps and changings of your paintings. Thank you very much, Marc 👍

I like both formats. It was very nive to see the actions in real time and how the watercolor flowed into the sections .

I like both formats. It is nice to see the entire process so I would definitely like to see more of the longer videos. :)

We like the longer format

Stunning ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Your watercolors always inspire me! Thanks for sharing.

Wow...your peonies are out? We're a long way from that me thinks.

It's great seeing these videos as well as the blog posts, always very instructive and interesting to hear your thoughts and see your pictures take shape from the start. I always learn a lot more when I see the choices you made at the beginning as well as just the end product. Lovely stuff Marc! 頑張ってください！
