I feel every sigh when you resolve an area of the portrait. It was very fresh. Great job James!

Hi Monica, You’re right, every moment of a portrait is intense, but a great feeling when you get to the end! Best wishes, James

Well done James, another wonderful video. The camera work is outstanding so much appreciation to your partner in crime. You deserve many more subscribers and hopefully will be rewarded for your high quality content.

Hi Zip, Glad you enjoyed the video so much and thank you for your kind words. Tanya is getting really good at the videos now ! Lots more videos to come. Best wishes, James

Once again love it. So many pointers I have taken on board. Being brave with the colours is definitely my down fall. Thank you.

Hi Irane, Very pleased you enjoyed it so much. I do like a colourful painting. As long as the colour is the right value, you’ll be okay. Best wishes, James

So glad I found your channel! I could never hope to live long enough to be even a small percentage of one with your talent as well as the hard work I’m sure you’ve put into your art. I’m already old as dirt but I find pleasure in art and am especially interested in watercolors. I found you when I saw your video thumbnail of mixing colors. I’m not subscribed and look forward to learning more from you. I know Chris was well pleased with his portraiture. Again, thank you for your alternate ways of doing things. Bless you again and again! 💜👩‍🎨

Most enjoyable watching you bring the whole portrait together with the paints harmonising beautifully, thank you so much James😊

James, wonderful to see how beautiful these turned out with such a limited pallet! I might be brave enough to try portraiture!

Hi James.another great video. Thank you for adding the onset of Chris. He made me laugh when he did his cheeky smile at the camera and you made me laugh when you said you were going to pop his eyes in.. Haha! I have not been brave enough to paint a portrait yet, I paint mostly landscapes and florals, but if i did, I would like to be able to do so in a similar impressionistic style.

Hi Stella Glad you enjoyed the video. Chris is a very nice man. Hopefully you will get round to giving a Portrait a go. It really is worth the effort. I don’t paint floral paintings, but I did see a painting the other day that did inspire me, so I think I will be giving it a go and posting it on KZread. So it will be very interesting to see whether it comes off or not! Thanks for your comments again. Best wishes, James

James I really Liked your unusual use of colour - very surprised it harmonised and blended so well, the likeness was uncanny.

Hi Kevin Glad you enjoyed the painting and thanks again for your comments. It’s much appreciated. Best wishes, James

Wonderful use of colour, but I was more intrigued with the bits you didn’t paint. Thought at first it was luck at first until it happened time and time again. Now my daughter has had her turn looks like my son is up next. Painting is costing me a fortune, not in paints but bribes for the children to sit for me!! Great video, looking forward to the next one. Can’t wait. Thank you.

Hi Mike Glad you enjoyed the new video. It’s great that you are getting into the Portrait painting. Let’s hope your children don’t cost you too much! How do you feel your paintings have come out? Would love to see them! Best wishes, James

Greatly enjoyed watching your painting evolve. Several times I thought you'd mucked it up - that nose, surely not - but then, like Paul Daniels, you worked your magic. Fantastic use of colours

Hi Alistair Glad you enjoyed the video. Tanya thought the same thing about the nose when she was videoing it😊 I hope you’ve managed to sort out the problems you’ve had with your paints. Did you buy some artist quality tubes? Best wishes, James

Hi James, you really cracked this one, Chris must be really pleased as you captured his likeness wonderfully. I've decided to have a go at doing a portrait of my wife, I've done the drawing okay but was wondering about sloshing the cerulean blue on her hair as she is fair haired? You mentioned chess I go blind on diagonals and get caught out by the knights time and time again. Anyway thanks again really enjoying this series on portraits.

Hi Martyn, Glad you like this Portrait. It really was a lot of fun to do. That’s what’s fun about painting from life,in that you can have a chat and enjoy it with someone. It’s great that you’re going to paint your wife. I would probably do a lighter cerulean wash in the hair. And then add the real colours on top of it and for fun a few colourful highlights Hopefully you’ll both have a lot of fun in the process. Best wishes, James

Thank you, I 've just discovered your channel. I was surprised when I saw your colorlist. IT's exactly the colors I use in my palete and I also use Raphael 84084 and 8404, as also my favorite Quil mop, their 803 !! Thanks again!@@JamesPotterAboutArt

Enjoying these loose portraits. Not wanting to be critical, but I think that you've lost the proportion in the face, - unless it's an optical thing, his face looks wider than it is long to me.....

Hi Steve Glad you’re enjoying the Portraits. Yes you’re quite right the ear should’ve been further right. I did notice halfway through the painting.It’s one of the interesting parts about painting Watercolour in that you can’t correct as easily as you can in oil painting so sometimes errors are made and you just have to live with them . I think it’s what makes Watercolour painting more exciting! Best wishes, James
