How to paint light in watercolor with 3 layers

Eric, thank-you for your clear instruction of how to rend light. By demoing the same scene side-by-side under 2 different light conditions it was by far the best explanation of the nuanced techniques I have watched. Also, in the sunset version, your approach to save the over worked steam by glazed over the sky at the point in the 3rd layer when the paper is almost dry, is an invaluable lesson.

Thank you!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼♥️♥️♥️

Thanks for keeping the photo references handy while you work!

Awesome

原來你有英文頻道喔

Hi Eric, thank you for showing this two different versions! That was really interesting. I have another question: I saw in your Insta the wonderful painting of the young lady you did with procreate. It would be nice if you can show this painting process also in your yt channel. To add a nft for the painting is easy or difficult? Greatings from Germany Angelika

Thank you Eric,
You're explanation was very helpful.

Very useful, as always. You’re a very good teacher! And your pun cheered me up, and we all need it. 😊

Eric, I have just discovered your channel, your teaching is clear and concise and I am learning lots of valuable lessons to take away. I love your calm and generous manner, your videos are so relaxing to watch. Thank You.

Thank you..Great teacher🥰

This is the first of your videos I've seen. Very helpful and informative. I look forward to watching more. Thanks!

Thank you ! Your observations and literary relay of your observations are helpful to the beginning artist.

Masterfully done!

Thank you teacher 😇

Great job! I really love how they turned out and your explanation along the way!

You dont paint or preserve. You dance.

Thanks

🙏❤️🙏

You are a great teacher! I'm Spanish and as you speak quiet and clear I understand everything very well!!! I'm learning a lot with your vídeos. Thanks you very much!!!

Thank You for your information and the whys are helpful. Great video!!

Thank you very much for this very useful tipps. One thing I 'd like to mention: as in the sunset picture the light is shining from down behind the train the steam should be lighter beliw and much darker in the upper part, I mean? Love your tutorials 🌺🌈

Wonderful demonstration - thank you!!

Thank you so much!!! It was so adorable!

Amazing as always 🙏

Thanks Eric for your effort. Really beautiful and FRUITFUL tutorial. Greetings from Egypt, with love <3

Thanks!

The smoke in the sunset painting came together like magic. Amazing

Great video, many thanks!

"Just because something is lit by the sun doesn't mean it has a light value." I have struggled with this for over two decades and that simple statement suddenly made it click. Thank you.

Amazing tips. I do put too many details early. Was nice to see u keep it very simple. Question for you, is there an app or software that can turn a picture into 3 shades of grey, so we can better visualize what would be highlights, mid and darker tones.

I bought your course and I love it! Please help me paint seagulls

I've heard values explained before but this is just so good!! I had a real light bulb moment watching this! 🤯

You are a great teacher!! Thank you so very much ❤

You are a great artist and teacher - thanks so much for explaining everything so well!

Always useful information and enjoy your exercises 👍

Hi Eric.
This is very informative and thoughtful.
I wonder why it is so important to “always connect your middle values”? Any insight you could share? Or a video where you explain why it is so important? Thank you. This is beautiful.

Pretty painting.

Painting is not just about displaying the end result but also the journey and thought process behind it.

Lol… your a dad!!! 😂

Thanks for this teaching. I found it very useful as a beginner

That art is awesome

You are AMAZING

So good!!!!

You're so good! Great teaching as well thank you!

These darks make such a difference. Thank you!

Colours for the train in the morning?

Very important to think about light and shadow. Watercolor will always be a mystery but these tutorials uncover it slowly.
