All of my watercolor sat unused until I saw a James Gurney video where he used the white gouache with the watercolor paint. It gives you a lot of flexibility and solves some of the issues with watercolors. Since that's what I can bring to work, that's what most of my work has been in for the past couple years. Both you and James have been excellent teachers and continue to inspire me to try to improve. Thanks again, this video was fantastic!

Hi Hannah, You can't paint oils on top of watercolor because will leach into the paper over time and destroy it. You could maybe find a gesso to size the paper and try a watercolor on that (might be a pretty weird surface for watercolor) then you could paint the oils on top of the watercolor. I just used watercolor in my painting in the video. No oils. My very best wishes to you also for Christmas and the New Year.

Thank you Jasmine.

Be it oil or watercolour, the videos are always instructive and the results reveal years of practice. I am so pleased you said that you had not really touched watercolour for decades and now use it chiefly for travel and on the spot studies. It’s advantages are clear, simple to use and transport, especially if flying. In 2015 I took all my oil equipment by car down to Narbonne in SW France. The numerous wind farms in the area showed why oil painting on a canvas was impossible and I fell back on watercolour and pads. I am happy to use it outside and when working out colour scheme or approaches on 3”x4” studies. You can run off half a dozen in a few minutes. I changed to oils for three reasons. I found it difficult to achieve intensity of colour or indeed uniformity of colour especially on a 22”x30” sheet. Secondly, watercolour always dries lighter than when it is mixed, hence the comments by people asking you to achieve dark tones. The third reason being it is the most difficult skill to master, it is so easy for it to go out of control (though that can lead to happy accidents!). I noticed you counselled care when reaching boundaries and in softening edges. Oils by contrast as much more forgiving and you can scratch out mistakes or wipe out everything if needed. As with so many things in life we have to weigh up the positive and negative characteristics of each medium. Watercolour can be glorious and very practical if space and materials need to be minimal. Often I think we have the mistaken belief that it must be easy because it was how we began painting as a child. As we can see, looking at your painting and also especially your father’s work - watercolour can take a lifetime to master.

I believe, for those of us that choose the medium, that the 'difficult to master' quality of WC is one of the most intreaging draws. It truly is a collaboration, a dance, between artist, pigment, paper, water and environment - and all of the possible ratios and combos therein. And those exquisite bits of gorgeous and happy accidents that take place while our backs are turned during the the drying process . . . ah, the very stuff that keeps us engaged.

Hi Ian, there seems to be this idea that one starts in watercolor and "graduates" to oils. But I'm with you, I think watercolor is the medium of the masters. Hard. To do well.

Thank you so much for the watercolour video. I have been trying the things you suggested in a previous exchange of comments, so it was really helpful to see it all come together here. I would have liked to have seen more of the final stages, as the transformation from the end of the demonstration to the finished painting was spectacular. You casually mentioned a bit of softening the edges etc., which is exactly the kind of insight that can make the difference. Your finished painting showed very subtle textures and no hard edges or water backruns. Obviously, after 40 years without painting in watercolour you still have the magic touch. Your father's painting was also very beautiful, it would be great to see some more of his work - perhaps as a feature on another watercolour video to highlight your particular focus on composition, shapes, simplifying and value contrast. Yeah, I know there are plenty of watercolour specialist videos out there, I've watched hundreds of them, but few presenters are able to demonstrate and articulate so well the artistic process in terms of feeling and approach.
