I really enjoy watching you paint and your lighthearted commentary. You're so good, but you don't seem to take it too seriously. Love that! Thank you.

Hi Kearie, thank you, glad you enjoyed the video! Friend Don

Lovely tutorial and painting! I love your soft jewel pastel colors. I have a question though: Do you pre wet the paper before applying your initial washes or are the washes just that juicy so that they run like that on dry paper?

How did you know I was thinking of adding figures into my landscapes

Hi Bill,,, sometimes things work out! Hope you enjoyed the video! Friend Don

I've read over proportions of the human figure and painted some portraits, but have been loathe to put any full figures into a landscape. Your 10%/50%=60% leaves 40% demo is invaluable; it sunk right in. Great tip; many thanks. (P.s. I don't like being difficult, but just have to say that in watching the wash layers go on, I'm sure your hits would go up manifold amounts by having a picture of scene you're painting up in the left-hand corner, as you do with the palette mixing down below. This way, the learner can gain some idea of the direction you're taking us.) ☺

It appears you are painting mostly wet into wet. Do you wet the back of your paper?

Hi Zenfulpainter,,,I don't wet the back(but I know lots of artists who do) I just prewet each area before applying paint...hope this helps! Friend Don

I’ve been enjoying your beautiful colours and painting processes! Thank you for sharing your methods. I have a question, when you say “ granular wash” do you mean you use granulating paints? Or is it just your process of letting them run down the page wet in wet? Thank you 😊

Hi Monkeylovenut,,,, it's the process of letting the pigment run down the page wet into wet!
