Advancing with Watercolor: Painting on Location - “Light Falls on the Brooklyn Bridge”
Фильм және анимация
This video was done after a week of plein air painting with watercolor in New York City. It is part of a series of videos featuring Central Park, Bryant Park, Times Square, and Dumbo park at the Brooklyn Bridge. The workshop lasted six days and each day was a new adventure . Today we are in the busy area of Times Square, looking down into the middle where there’s many billboards, people and traffic. We simplify the scene through an extensiv painting at the Brooklyn bridge park, just at the foot of the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge. The day is wonderful dry clear and beautiful. The scale of the scene is immense and along with that a huge amount of details. The challenge is to reduce the details to a few patterns lines and shapes that suggest buildings the roads the windows the cranes etc. enough to give an impression of the complexity but not everything. The main focus in this painting is under the bridge looking through to see the other side of the river, boats, even a lone seagull flying under the shadows of the Brooklyn Bridge. As I am working through the painting students are coming up telling me that they must leave, the afternoon is wearing on and our troop is reduced to three or four. It’s a sad moment when the workshop comes to an end. But we are so lucky to have this date together painting the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge under the bright sun.
In each video I will address some of the challenges with each motive and ways to meet those challenges. Along the way I hope you experience the same thrill of working in the city of New York under an open sky that we did.

Manor thank you for the kind words
Wow are you kidding me? this video alone has all the wisdom needed to understand whatever is to understand about whatercolors in terms of mindset. I started to take notes of what you are saying here and i ended writing almost word by word since this is full of insight. Thank you so much.
I was just asking myself what it was about watercolor that I like so much, and you told me . Thanks
I could listen to you all day, I learn so much, from your explanations. Thank you.
I must compliment you Mr Tucker on your incredible ability to explain painting processes so clearly and in such detail. Your command of language is astounding.

Thank you for your videos! Well done and so informative, best ones on watercolor I’ve found on YT.
Wonderful tutorial, wonderful painting. Thank you
So stunning view with the back drop of the high rises lovely 😊you have inspired me
One more wonderful watercolor, thank you Gary for sharing
That’s beautiful, I really like it thank you for demonstrating how you painted it.
Keep up the great work Gary👍 I agree, the viewer should be left with the perspective of an artist's interpretation. After all, it is a painting, not re-rendering. A free brush says a lot more than a clutter of detail that might otherwise only fall short to what is being expressed. Thanks for your inspiration and expertise!
This one had me worried in the middle.. then .. it didn't. Superb execution
So weird. I was thinking of trying to do a painting of the brooklyn bridge for a week now. Great stuff as always. :D
Stunning composition.
Great work ,thank you Gary.
