Brilliant. Love how you discuss what you are doing as you do it and why.

Having the colour indicated when you're going to the palette is super helpful! I think that's the first time I've seen that in a video on KZread. Even though my palette is different, it gives me some insight to your thought process. Well done video all round, thanks a bunch!

Learning something new each time. Thanks, Grahame!

High quality demo, both the art, sound and camera! You have a new follower!

I think you're the best watercolour tutor online and I've watched quite a few!! Reasons? You are a top watercolour artist, you explain everthing you're doing and thinking all the time, you show what's happening in your palette, you have a great northern irish brogue which is a pleasure to listen to, and finally you have a nice sense of humour.

Master! That is all I am going to say plus a fantastic instructor!

Thank you for your very informative video. You’ve answered so many questions for me.

Thank you. Great demo, especially explaining your method and color use.

First time I've watched your video from start to finish and thoroughly enjoyed and more importantly I learned a lot. Thanks

Thankyou for your very informative tutorial and colours useing .Thankyou Graham.

Thank you Grahme! I needed this. I mean I literally needed this. Something has been off about my paintings. This showed me what is was. Loosing too much light. Treating edges wrongly. There is so very much of value in this tutorial for me. Tis little wonder you have become one of my favorite artist on a short list of artists. Thanks very much.

Thoroughly enjoyed your painting. Very helpful in mixing colours and using darks against lights. Thank you.

Your demos never disappoint learn something new every time.Thanks.

A well thought out video. I like the "Drying Time" info, which links the stages very well. More please!

Great instruction from beginning to end One of the best!

I loved watching this!!! I am totally new to art, you taught me soooo much. I am a new, devoted fan, greetings from WA State

Always enjoy watching you paint!

I really like your tutorials Your way of explaining and share your knowledge thumbs up 👍

An excellent demonstration with a realy helpful commentary. Thank you.

Lovely! I love the brush. A well produced instructional video. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the color caption labels! It's so helpful for this beginner😊 also appreciate your laid back approach

Thank for for a really enjoyable video. The advice is excellent and I found it very relaxing to just sit back and watch.

Great demo, so much information in 32 minutes. I really enjoyed watching.

Great demo and outstanding explanations - thank you very much!

Your demonstrations are so, so informative! You have a way of explaining what you're doing as you go along that just makes everything make sense! I have learned more from your tutorials than probably any others that I have watched! And I love your style of painting. Thank you for sharing so much with us!

I remember visiting Staithes so years ago and was shocked to see so many seagulls everywhere. It seemed they’d taken over! It’s a place with great character like Clovelly in Devon. I loved your demo particularly how you talked through all your thought processes. Thank you!

Fantastic tutorial Grahame, thanks so much!

Fantastic video filled with great tips. TY

I really enjoyed that demo, thanks Graham.BTW your commentary is what makes it and so reassuring to hear your...'should I ....shouldn't I....oh what the hell this is my painting anyway' attitude! love it and know the feeling!

Thank you Grahame - enjoyed your demo!

Masterful as usual. Your videos are always excellent.

That was a super demo! I loved the looseness of it all and the way you kept the beautiful transparency allowing the base colours to shine through. One very useful tip for me was don’t use a dry brush for darkening your colours, use more paint in the water. I loved the outcome. It was a beautiful painting and I love Belfast despite the rain! Thank you.

thank you so much Grahame!! wonderful demo

That was great. .lve been trying to find my style and this helps a lot. Cheers.

Brilliant, thank you!

Thank you so much for filming and posting your painting process. I'm to new to absorb it all but by bits and bobs the more I see and hear I remember a little more each time when practicing. 👍💜

I have been watching watercolour videos/tutorials for some time now - I can’t believe I only just found you yesterday! I love your work, and I find your colour mixing and explanations so informative. (It helps that you sound a lot like my much missed, recently passed mammy - she was from Enniskillen. ☺️) Thanks for your tutorials, I’ll be recommending them on the watercolour beginners Facebook page I’m on.

Check out those books of Grahame's especially the one called Paint Pad Artist: Watercolour Landscapes. Street Scenes is great also for Beginners. NB. I'm not Grahame's PR, I've just seen a lot of books, a lot of tutorials and his way of painting light and mixing paint is rare, it's the way anyone can learn from.

All Rosemary and Co. I use round brushes series 402 (size 14 and others) and a 1/4 inch swordliner, series 770

I haven’t picked up a brush for about 25 years, I used to watch Alwyn Crawshaw, stumbled across your superb video, it’s inspiring me to get my paints out, a quick question, what brush are you using?

@damienkearns3654

Rosemary and Co is definitely the brand, I think it's a 12 or 14 Round from the 401 Pointed Sable Mix range. They are £15 and £20 respectively and are very highly regarded. You can get them on rosemaryandco.com. They could possibly confirm identify as well. Get out those paints and get painting before the inspiration wears off 😂 You'll be glad you did. There's a whole new world available now to learn online. KZread, Patreon, Domestika, etc.

Hello Grahame, Any chance that you might consider setting up a subscription based website? I’m thinking along the lines of Billy Showell. I dare say that there are other artists doing something like that (mostly via Patreon), but there is no one with you skill, easy way of teaching and style. No one wants to learn from an artist unless they really admire the way they paint, and it’s clear from all the comments on your KZread tutorials that there are loads of others like me who feel the same way. There’s a huge gap in the market just waiting for you to fill it. Best wishes Genevieve

Did you leaern to paint ferom Alwyn Crawshaws books? youer style is very similar.

Good. What would you do without UMB and Burnt Sienna? A muddy grey at best . Then again you live in a muddy depressing country.

Too much fiddly detail, there's no mystery left, you spelled it all out
