Please don't get bored and not post any more video's. There are so many great artists that only make a few vid's and leave us wanting more and they don't have lessons for us to steer to. I hope your here for a very long time. Your explanations are so clear and I'm learning so much about color and why and where's of where they belong. I really enjoy your video's!!! Thank you.

Louise, I strongly agree and especially in the case of Mr Booth. His work is beautiful. I love watching it. So many other people do too much with stencils and just throwing acrylics here and there. Mr Booth, please continue to share your work. I love watching your videos.

Grahame, some of the things (not all) you do that make your tutorials so helpful are: *You show the photograph regularly so that we remember the item you are painting *You sometimes zoom in close to an area you are working on and that helps to see clearly the point you are making *You show the mixing of colours to be used so we can see which colours and how strong the mix is In addition you have a lovely soothing tone to your voice! Thanks for the help you are giving.

This is so informative (and beautiful)! Thank you for all the comments and thoughts and detailed shots of your work. Truly appreciated.

it was one of your wonderful tutorials - an ink and wash one - that got me back to painting. In the past 5 years, each and every one of your tutorials helped me immensely and I cannot thank you enough for it. This one is no different! Thank you Grahame!

Very inspiring and beautiful. I have such a hard time being free with my watercolors. Watching your process really helped me understand a bit better. Thank you for sharing the demo!

Like your tutorial, the way you show every step, the colours you use and why, the closeup when you work..... Very good teaching ! Thanks

Great impression, love the wet reflections. The association of color is divine!

Love your videos, they are very fresh, clear cut and easy to understand, and I always love to hear the artist's personal thought processes behind every painting they create. Also, your accent is so relaxing to listen to - great tutorial! :)

Thank You Grahame for another excellently helpful and most enjoyable video.

Our class watched this before painting our own landscapes. We think it is amazing. Thank you

Ive watched this numerous times Grahame, I love you style and your commentary.Happy New Year

I agree with Mr. Patrick Ley-Greaves. Your tutorials are great. It absorve us

Thank you... As a beginner you've helped and inspired me .... your explanation of the process has opened up new avenues for me.. again thank you very much Grahame for sharing your knowledge. regards Dave...

Dear Mr Grahame Booth, I love all of your video tutorials. They teach me a whole lot about watercolor! Thank you! I am waiting for your next video! Best wishes,Mm

That was amazing and I really appreciated how you explained everything

very beautiful! I just got a box of winsor newton half pans and looking forward to follow your wonderful tutorial. very inspiring.

My first time watching Grahame. I paint in oil, but this video really is a great example of using the magic of "suggestion" rather than definition in our art. Great video. A new fan.

Brilliant Graham! You make it look so easy!

Thanks for your tips and use of the watercolor brush and mixing colors.

Amazing. Thank you for showing your process :) I have lots to learn!

Beautiful work, Grahame!

Really enjoyed this ... you included so many little "gems" of information which will be helpful. You have also made me realise just how important it is to be able to mix colours at will from what you have on your palette (I guess practise, practise, practise). Thank you so much for posting ... I'm now off to investigate your other videos!

you are obviously very talented - great painting & thanks!

Love your videos Grahame. I am learning so much and I have already been painting for ages. I just did my first video and am also learning from your video demo on how to do a good presentation. Thank you!

Great video! (: How do you handle simplifying the scene in front of you? You were able to bring it down to the essentials really well. Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful video on how to paint this lovely scene. I found your commentary as you go really helpful in explaining what colors you are using and how you apply them. I hope you continue making videos, I enjoyed this so much:) thanks.

Thank you Graham. I have sent a link so that my little art group can each have a go too. Well done.

Finally, someone put in some great music! Paint on, young man!

What brand watercolour you use and the palettes thanks

I enjoyed this video so much and I am planning a seascape. What type and size brush are you using particularly for the sky? Is it a round, a mop and how large. Synthetic or real and do you think that matters! Thanks so much!

@PaintingWatercolour

Margie Rosenthal Hi Margie I use a soft natural hair mop. The type is not really important but it should be big enough to allow you to use a single stroke to get across the width of the paper you are using. What I really mean is to paint very wet. Mix plenty of paint and water, fill your brush, don't stroke it on the edge of your palette (this removes the paint) and refill your brush every stroke. Don't press hard on the paper as this too removes paint but instead let the paint flow off the brush. With a little luck and a lot of practice this should allow you to paint skies that are as smooth as you want them to be, with no stripes or brushmarks. Good luck.

grahame, what paper do you use? Im a student and need something inexpensive like around $10-15 that is cotton or a blend.

Hi Johnny. I use Bockingford paper from St. Cuthbert's Mill. It is 100% cellulose and so comparatively inexpensive but it is a great paper that takes the paint really well. I'm not sure if it is widely available in the US but I think Cheap Joe's carries it.

oaoooooo very very good .

The paints for this one were probably mostly Winsor & Newton but I have recently been testing a lot of paint and quite honestly if you stick to the well know makes of artist quality paint you won't go far wrong.

If you Google Roberson brass palettes you will find several makers. I don't actually use that one now, I designed and made my own that you will see in the more recent videos and it is now being made commercially www.lapetitepalette.com/grahamebooth.html. The brass palettes are all rather expensive. I would suggest the Liz Deakin palette as a much less expensive alternative: www.frankherringandsons.com/product/liz-deakin-palette-3/

Fion Khoo First, learn to paint a wash. Painting skies is good practice for this and you can add a simple landscape below the sky. Have a look at this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c5ON1Zion5uuj84.html Almost all artists use photographs but it is much better to practice painting and drawing from real life. You can practice with anything - your home, a cup, or a chair. And don't give up. Watercolour is not easy but as with everything else in life, the more you practice, the better you become.
