When you study the value, do you only observe the photo or view? For me, to catch the right value from a real view scene is a challenge. Sometimes I took a photo and then changed it into black and white.

You have excelled yourself here, Eric. I have just shared this with my online art friends as “the most practical and informative KZread lesson”. Not only does it guide us through some very important lessons, but it is beautifully presented. During lockdown it is so easy just to watch a whole bunch of ‘demos’ but many of them are little more than looking over someone’s shoulder as they put paint on paper. Very few actively encourage us to strive for improvement by putting great teaching into practice in the way you do. One suggestion - perhaps you could post the tonal value section as an additional lesson in it’s own right - unless someone is specifically looking for help with greens it would be easy to miss it and it is something we all need to know and very few teach. Well done - I am still saving for your course, anticipating it will be of the same quality of tuition and production as these very generous ‘freebies’.

Barbara, I couldn't have said it better. I echo your comment here. This video (and many of his other great "freebies") have only further affirmed my decision to take his online course despite the fact that I believe art can only be taught live. He is so far my favourite teacher. Too bad he doesn't live in Canada.

Your delivery of "double hate so it hurts me more" is perfect. 😂 Thank you for your videos. I only discovered you a few days ago. I've had instruction in oil painting so I feel comfortable with that but I've only recently (this week) worked up the nerve to try watercolor. I worried it was too unforgiving, and I felt like the process of creating a watercolor painting was the exact opposite of oil. I'm glad I finally worked up the nerve and I'm glad I found your channel Your videos and the quality of your teaching are a huge help.

Loved it.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Eric, this is brilliant! The use of the computer program really made this so easy to see the different tones of red, yellow, blue comprising the greens. So informative and concise. Your videos are always so relaxing and calming to watch and I always come away so much more informed. Thank you for sharing your gift of art with us! Stay sane, Stay safe and stay lovely!

This is one of the best watercolour channels on KZread. The quality of your tutorials is amazing. Very clearly explained and you Paint the Paint. Thank you so much! I am excited to try these techniques.

It sure is! The 25 people who disliked it don't know what they are missing.

This is a truly eye opening look into the variety of hue, saturation and darkness of a single object (in this case, a tree). I’ve saved this as a reference for color evaluation. What a thorough study!!!

Using photoshop to explain warm, cool and hue! This. Is. Brilliant! Thank you so much!

My mother taught me by having me look through a white cardboard square with a hole cut in it . That way I only saw the colors, not the subject. You would be surprised at how many colors are in a persons face.I know you are speaking of only greens but it works for every color doesn't it? I love watching you and listening to you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and feelings.

Tha's a really good idea.

Oh man! Using photoshop color picker to explain greens is GENIUS! Thanks for this, I love how you are able to explain these things so rational and logical.

Thanks for great education, even sap green from different companies is so variable!

Love how explain the use and mixtures of color

I like the approach using computer to explain color. It make sense to me for non-art major. I have better understanding when I mix various green. Thanks.

You make it look so easy! the photoshop demo was a game changer in my understanding of color! thank you!

Thank you for your various tutorials; I have watched several of them and have more on my list yet to watch. You are a good teacher. Your training must have been in the excellent range in my opinion.

hello, Eric... I'm Pedro, from Brazil... after 40 years away🤫🤫🤫 from tubes, brushes and canson, I'm coming back... I was very happy to find your teachings, mainly in these aspects of avoiding ready-made colors... and yes, mix in your own palette. It helped tremendously. I'm testing my 4 decade tubes, some were dry, a few were still creamy, mixing gum arabic and honey, with distilled water....I think the result is being enough to return...More ahead buy new tubes.

Top teacher ! Thanks Eric. You made me laugh as well about the "double hate " . XX

That's a lovely, beautiful painting! Thank you for your extremely helpful and informative explanation of the complexity of painting green things😊

Thats a great idea to use photoshop to analyze the colors!! Makes the whole process less daunting Thanks for the tutorial.

Brilliant! I loved the analysis of the greens on Photo Shop. Your pallet is the key to the earth tones. I’ve overused Sap Green and been disappointed. This is the answer I’ve been looking for!

Beautiful. Just beginning and I am very old. Anyway, I will just have fun.

Saw an interesting doc once about color perception. It was stated that humans are very good at seeing variations in green color, more than other colors. Would explain why green is more difficult to get right. Great tutorials btw!

I am so mesmerized by the reflections and the lilypads. It's like organized chaos. Absolutely beautiful.

I'll never look at green the same way again😊

Hi Eric, thank you so much for all the useful and clear explained video's you share with us. I am learning a lot and you stimulate to try all those things. Please let us enjoy more of these video's in the future !

So informative. Love mixing all the colors in a spot puddle, warming, cooling, and only adding water when it gets too dry.

Love this tutorial so much. Thank you for taking the time to teach this.

In one word beautiful

Waw wonderfull knowledge about mixing of green...thank u Eric

This video deserves millions of likes ❤️

I am so glad to meet you ,a friend sent me an email of your video on the variation of mixing green colors ,I am hooked ❣️I do oil paint and love pastel painting but water color intimidate me I am a control freak and very detail oriented ,I been struggling to get looser and less details in my work ,getting better . I love your calming voice and your way of explaining so clearly how to paint 🎨 thank you . (3 hours of watching your videos ) enjoyed them all

Truly amazing!

Hi Eric, I like your video a lot because as an engineer it cleverly explains the many different shades of green that exist from a photo using Photoshop which I never thought to do before. I am very new to watercolour painting and exploring so much on You Tube it is easy to get so confused with different advice. But I like your clear and calm style of presentation. I have made many messes from mixing paints wrongly to get new colours especially green! But now I understand how to get the the cool or the warm shades of green that exist in the photos, which our eyes just do not see! This is magic to me. However, when you speed up the painting at the end I got a little lost with what you were mixing together and why and your colour names are different to what paints I have already. But I think I can practise getting my greens a bit better now, which as someone who lives in, and is a photographer of nature, that is one colour I want to get right. Great job!! Thank you Sally

This is the third time I watch this video, still enjoy watching. More importantly, learn some more of your beautiful painting! Thanks for your sharing 👍！

I wasn't inspired by the photo but you made a gorgeous painting from it. I liked the idea of using the computer to help distinguish color. Very well done!! Thank you.

Beautiful painting. Thank you for illustrating your green mixtures. Very helpful.

What a fantastic lesson! I have never seen such an excellent discussion and demonstration of the different greens in nature. I “knew” landscape had different green hues, but your video has been so informative and clear. Thank you. I feel like I should be paying tuition.

Lovely. Thank you for explaining how to mix greens and showing us how you do value studies.

I've stayed in Washington State twice very nice there amazing Nature views. Thanks again for another amazing video!

Brilliant video! Using Photoshop makes it all make sense to me - thank you so much Eric.

Eric, I learned so much from this video. Thank you for your time and for sharing your wonderful talent.

I love watercolours now thanks to your videos and great teaching method and skills. Thankyou!

Hello Mr Lin it's Juliana from Melbourne Australia. I'm 72 and I'm just starting to learn watercolour. Thankyou for your segment on greens warm to cold and how to mix them. It is very difficult to get my heard around it I really listened to you. I was painting black out of a tube for shadows. Thankyou.🌹

I am a beginner, only started painting a month ago. Your videos have been helpful to me, but this is one that I didn't realize how much I needed. I have been struggling with the greens in the floral and landscapes I have attempted and now I understand why. Thank you so much for what you do. I appreciate your calm tone and peaceful demeanor

I have always struggeled with the colour green. Thank you Eric showing how to work with the colour green so it can be exciting and not boring!

This gives me confidence to not be too fussy. I can see things in the picture that you didn't seem to paint! The wonder of watercolour.

I really like your comments about: "Paint the Color of the Light." A very important concept. Thanks.

I heard him mention that in another video recently and it stunned me. Never looked at it that way before. I've now watched HOURS of watercolor tutorials and no one ever says it so plainly!

Very helpful, Eric! Thank you for the warm/cool lesson and examples. Beautiful painting!

Your videos have taught me, a newby, so much. Thank you. I always watch to the very end.

Beautiful, Eric! You make it look so easy, but that's a good thing for us. It encourages us to try your techniques, many thanks!

I love how you get me thinking about assumptions I make that are affecting how I use color. You’re a gifted teacher!

This is the best explanation that I've seen yet of how to portray greens in a watercolor. You break it down beautifully and the way you address warm v. cool shades of green and finding the range makes it easy to understand. I am going to watch this several times as I try to master the representation of the greens in nature. Thank you!

Beautiful painting, Eric. Thank you!

Very well thought out and put.

Eric, a great lesson and great painting. Thanks so much for sharing.

one of the best tutorials for greens. Great information and painting. Thank You for the demo

THANKYOU. Much appreciated and enjoyed

Once again I’ve learned a lot… Where would we be without green in our lives. Thank you

Eric, I really enjoyed your “green” tutorial. It has given me confidence to try some more. Your discussion about joining value shapes has given me a lot to think about. THanks

Thank you Eric! This is very helpful to me! I have always struggled with greens, and this gives me a new way to approach them.

Eric, you create wonderful content. You also seem very kind and generous with your teaching. Keep up the great work!

Thank you Eric! Love your tutorials🙂

Lovely! I love your abstract landscapes!

First I love listening to you talk. Your voice so so calm & soothing in the middle of the chaos around us. The video-WOW. I can honestly say I learned more watching this than in the past 6 mos. I've with PS Elements since they first came out. I restore old & damaged photos. YOur use of it in this video finally made color and values something I can understand and use. Thank you so much.

Excellent demo. KZread suggested your channel to me and it turns out we probably don't live too far apart so your painting of Bloedel, beyond being a delightful a surprise, is especially helpful.

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

Very informative, particularly swatching the colours on the computer. Always an eye opener to see what colour it really is! Greens are tricky and I will try to mix my own after your explanation!

Eric, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. I tried to follow along to get the colours. Being able to see your palette really helps in understanding how to get the colour right. Please do more and more greens and trees. I am trying to practice my trees and want to perfect them.

I was struggling with the nature greens for a long time. It’s helpful:) Thank you for the sharing!

Great video Eric. So helpful. Thank you.

Thank you so much for explaining and most of all "showing" the different shades of green and how they interact within the picture. For the First Time, I now think I get it! I appreciate your teaching techniques!

Thanks so much for this great tutorial!

dear Eric, this lesson is so useful for me! thank you!

Thank you Eric! Very informative

Thanks, so helpful to use one pile!

thoroughly enjoying your content. Great delivery of the subject matter. Thank you.

Thank you for your mentoring lessons. I appreciate it very much! I also delight in your paintings.

I love your videos, and this is the best one yet. You explained this so clearly and concisely. Thank you. i got a lot out of it.

One of the most informative videos available in net. Thanks a lot Sir 🙏🙏🌹🌹

Thanks for sharing Eric

Fantastic tutorial. Thanks.

Thanks for a great lesson!

Another very enlightening and interesting video, much appreciated 🙏

Much thanks, Eric. Your way of teaching is excellent!!! I'm a beginner but I was able to grasp the tutorial quite easy. Now putting it on paper is of course, a different story. ♥️🥰

Extremely helpful! Thank you, Eric!!

Very helpful, thank you. I really enjoy your work and your beautiful paintings.

Thanks for giving this color education

Wow.. It turned out very beautiful painting. Thank you so much.

I have watched all your tutorials and media I use is Acrylics, but after seen you I am going to try watercolors, I love the way you teach them. Thank you so much ❤️😊

I found this very useful. Thank you Eric.

Outstanding lesson. One of your very best as it addresses mixing of colors, which is the trickiest part of watercolors for me. Thank you so much for this. I will be watching it a few more times while mixing my own colors to mimic your methods. Please, please do more lessons like this one. Colors are the hardest part of this process for me and you have no idea how incredibly helpful this video was in helping me gain control of my palette and what it is capable of. Thank you, Eric.

Very informative,, I usually use yellow and blue for my greens.. Acrylics paint

Great job illustrating this subject! Thank you, well done~

Great tutorial, thx again for sharing Eric!

This was very helpful. Most painters have trouble with the greens. You did a great job on this, and I’m always so grateful. Thank you. 👩🏻‍🎨

As a beginner I definitely have trouble mixing my colors, thanks for the practical tips and demonstrations. I feel like I understand better now

Greetings from Provence…where there are 50 shades of green at any time! This is exactly what I needed tonight. Thank you!

You do an excellent job of explaining different concepts. I love to get different points of view.

Super super super goed...heel leerrijk, dankjewel

Great lesson. Thank you.

Eric you are an excellent teacher I am learning so much thank you for sharing.
