One of the harder subjects in watercolour, I think, is painting faces and portraits. As always though, a few pointers and tricks can go along way to helping us with our watercolour portraiture. In this video I start off talking about some basic principles of portraiture and painting faces. We look at how to properly place ad align the key facial features. What should we be looking for? After that I break down the face in to only a handle full of key shapes and we ask what tonal value they are. Tis gives us the tonal map for our portrait or face painting and makes the whole process of tackling this subject with watercolour much, much easier! ____________________________ You can find various formats of this painting demo on my Patreon Teaching Channel, links below: There are various other portrait paintings on there in watercolour, plus acrylics. 50 minute narrated version: https://www.patreon.com/posts/portrait-in-long-47421035 Shorter time-lapse: https://www.patreon.com/posts/portrait-in-time-47300582 https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt ____________________________ Cheetah Video on Simplifying your Subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qLT0MokcDU ____________________________ Join me on Patreon for exclusive Tutorials, Time-lapse videos, live-streams, quick tips and much more: https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt __________________________ Upcoming Zoom DEMOS: https://www.tomshepherdart.com/zoom-demos _____________________________ Other Recent videos: Create a STRONG FOCAL POINT - https://youtu.be/vQ9bIEmgRoQ How to Create Strong Light with watercolours -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj90EvVNvAs Do this with watercolour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVq5nF2bW-0 ______________________________ Previous Watercolour Bites Episodes: 1) Basic Terms - https://youtu.be/4icHxwdzQYQ 2) Colour vs Tone - https://youtu.be/qnVjTLxivQI 3) Tonal Values (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE6itosi2Hw 4) Tonal Values (Part 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A8s21LOpuA 5) Tonal Values (Part 3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9h1qXH30Vs 6) Single Most Important thing in Watercolour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1spfpfhqCuY 7) Simple Watercolour Process - https://youtu.be/AbvleXlDoBw 8) Top 10 Tips - https://youtu.be/PZb-3jYxp84 9) Watercolour Brushes - https://youtu.be/-i3EQJ2Sekc 10) Mixing Darks - https://youtu.be/dqfWN5uZwJE _________________________ Please subscribe for lots more to come and don't forget to check out all my other videos, as well as my Patreon teaching page for more in depth look at all aspects of painting! - Links to me - https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt https://www.instagram.com/tomshepherdartist https://www.tomshepherdart.com/

Each painting has a life of its own. Our reference photo is juts a jumping off point! Something to refer back to. So we don't have t o copy it exactly. It can be so easy to look at a complex subject a feel overwhelmed, or not have a clue where to start, especially with watercolours!! However, if we can learn to look at and interpret our subject matter in a different way, whatever the subject is. Then this can make a huge difference to our painting. The biggest step in creating successful watercolour paintings is learning to simplify the subject down. The easiest way I have found to do this is to squint my eyes and look for simple but accurate shapes, as big as ones as possible. Ones that ave obvious difference in overall tonal value. We can then look at the subject as a jigsaw of these big pieces of differing tones. Once we've broke ur subject up into these shapes we can ask, is it a light? A dark? or somewhere in between, a mid-tone? If it's a mid-tone, is it a darker one from the shadow group or. lighter one the half tone, light side, group? With watercolour painting we can simply put in the dominant lighter tone and then drop in the other darker tones as we go. The nature of the medium creates variety and interest. Even a complex subject matter can be broken down into very simple shapes and simple tones but yet still create a strong sense of atmosphere, light and realism, and often in doing so we create much more interesting, successful and more dramatic watercolour paintings! ________________________________ Cheetah Patreon Videos: 35 minute narrated time-lapse: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cheetah-in-time-53066682 ________________________________ Join me on Patreon for exclusive Tutorials, Time-lapse videos, live-streams, quick tips and much more: https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt __________________________ Upcoming Zoom DEMOS: https://www.tomshepherdart.com/zoom-demos _____________________________ Other Recent videos: Create a STRONG FOCAL POINT - https://youtu.be/vQ9bIEmgRoQ How to Create Strong Light with watercolours -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj90EvVNvAs Do this with watercolour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVq5nF2bW-0 ______________________________ Previous Watercolour Bites Episodes: 1) Basic Terms - https://youtu.be/4icHxwdzQYQ 2) Colour vs Tone - https://youtu.be/qnVjTLxivQI 3) Tonal Values (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE6itosi2Hw 4) Tonal Values (Part 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A8s21LOpuA 5) Tonal Values (Part 3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9h1qXH30Vs 6) Single Most Important thing in Watercolour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1spfpfhqCuY 7) Simple Watercolour Process - https://youtu.be/AbvleXlDoBw 8) Top 10 Tips - https://youtu.be/PZb-3jYxp84 9) Watercolour Brushes - https://youtu.be/-i3EQJ2Sekc 10) Mixing Darks - https://youtu.be/dqfWN5uZwJE _________________________ Please subscribe for lots more to come and don't forget to check out all my other videos, as well as my Patreon teaching page for more in depth look at all aspects of painting! - Links to me - https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt https://www.instagram.com/tomshepherdartist https://www.tomshepherdart.com/

Learning to move the viewers eye around a painting is great way to make exciting paintings. One thing to consider is how to create a strong focal point that draws our attention whilst creating other areas of a watercolour painting that are still interesting, and support the focal point, but without competing with it. Using a variety of soft and hard edges is one fantastic way to do this with watercolours. Softer and lost edges can be created by working wet in wet and damp in damp, as well as by putting very similar tonal values next to each other. These sorts of areas tend to be more still in a painting and demand less of our attention. Hard and sharp edges, created by strong contrasts of tonal values, working in smaller areas and using stronger paint mixes will always draw the viewers eye more. The trick in understanding how to create strong focal points in watercolour painting is finding a balance between these soft and hard edges. Finding a balance between areas that really draw our attention versus areas that do. We can also do this with strength and hue of colour too, as well as few other principles which I will talk about in this video. ________________________________ Puffin Pair Patreon Videos: 45 minute narrated time-lapse: https://www.patreon.com/posts/puffins-long-50907489 10 minute music only time-lapse: https://www.patreon.com/posts/puffins-in-quick-50907949 ________________________________ Join me on Patreon for exclusive Tutorials, Time-lapse videos, live-streams, quick tips and much more: https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt __________________________ Upcoming Zoom DEMOS: https://www.tomshepherdart.com/zoom-demos _____________________________ Other Recent videos: How to Create Strong with watercolours -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj90EvVNvAs Do this with watercolour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVq5nF2bW-0 ______________________________ Previous Watercolour Bites Episodes: 1) Basic Terms - https://youtu.be/4icHxwdzQYQ 2) Colour vs Tone - https://youtu.be/qnVjTLxivQI 3) Tonal Values (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE6itosi2Hw 4) Tonal Values (Part 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A8s21LOpuA 5) Tonal Values (Part 3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9h1qXH30Vs 6) Single Most Important thing in Watercolour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1spfpfhqCuY 7) Simple Watercolour Process - https://youtu.be/AbvleXlDoBw 8) Top 10 Tips - https://youtu.be/PZb-3jYxp84 9) Watercolour Brushes - https://youtu.be/-i3EQJ2Sekc 10) Mixing Darks - https://youtu.be/dqfWN5uZwJE _________________________ Please subscribe for lots more to come and don't forget to check out all my other videos, as well as my Patreon teaching page for more in depth look at all aspects of painting! - Links to me - https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt https://www.instagram.com/tomshepherdartist https://www.tomshepherdart.com/

Could this be the best bit of watercolour advice? I don't know, but it is certainly something that I feel is really important to always come back to, and it is the one thing that keeps me going with watercolour painting, probably more than anything else; and that is remembering to always enjoy the medium itself. Remembering to enjoy the process an to enjoy creatively exploring our subject! Ok, so that might seem really obvious and very simple, but in the pursuit of watercolour techniques and creating the "perfect" painting in our own eyes, it can be over so easy to overlook this. Yet, for most of us, it is the very characteristics of the medium itself that drew us the watercolour in the first place! The way the brushstrokes feel, the wonderful way the watercolour pigment and water flows and merges together, the versatility of wet into wet washes right through to try brushstrokes, and of course the deep, rich translucent colours on a white page. Plus the wonderful ability of the watercolours to create beautiful light and of course the ability of watercolour to create so much with so little. Before we even think about what it is we are trying to represent, simply the look of watercolour on the page is exciting and beautiful in its own right. So in this video I talk about my own experiences with always trying to return to this watercolour mindset, the benefits of doing so and the ways it can help me with my own work. I ten take you through two of my own paintings where I really tried to make this mindset of simply enjoying the medium the main focus of the painting, rather than the subject itself. _______________________________ Find more of Natalya's work here on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natalya_valverde_art/ ________________________________ Hyacinth Macaw Patreon Videos: 30 minute narrated time-lapse: https://www.patreon.com/posts/hyacinth-macaw-47702286 10 minute music only time-lapse: https://www.patreon.com/posts/hyacinth-macaw-47689846 ________________________________ Hummingbird Patreon Videos: Real time Tutorial: https://www.patreon.com/posts/hummingbird-in-48782659 Quick time-lapse: https://www.patreon.com/posts/hummingbird-time-48677429 _________________________________ Join me on Patreon for exclusive Tutorials, Time-lapse videos, live-streams, quick tips and much more: https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt __________________________ Upcoming Zoom DEMOS: https://www.tomshepherdart.com/zoom-demos _____________________________ Previous Watercolour Bites Episodes: 1) Basic Terms - https://youtu.be/4icHxwdzQYQ 2) Colour vs Tone - https://youtu.be/qnVjTLxivQI 3) Tonal Values (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE6itosi2Hw 4) Tonal Values (Part 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A8s21LOpuA 5) Tonal Values (Part 3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9h1qXH30Vs 6) Single Most Important thing in Watercolour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1spfpfhqCuY 7) Simple Watercolour Process - https://youtu.be/AbvleXlDoBw 8) Top 10 Tips - https://youtu.be/PZb-3jYxp84 9) Watercolour Brushes - https://youtu.be/-i3EQJ2Sekc 10) Mixing Darks - https://youtu.be/dqfWN5uZwJE _________________________ Please subscribe for lots more to come and don't forget to check out all my other videos, as well as my Patreon teaching page for more in depth look at all aspects of painting! - Links to me - https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt https://www.instagram.com/tomshepherdartist https://www.tomshepherdart.com/

Dramatic light is one of the aspects of working with watercolours that I love the most. So much of watercolour painting is about creating light and shadow, and focusing on painting the light itself is often what brings our subject to life. But how to we actually "paint the light"? How do we create a strong feeling of light? How do we create drama in a painting? What should we look for in our reference? And how do we translate this into a working painting? In this video I talk through my ideas and thought processes in creating a strong feeling of light in a watercolour painting of Gannet. The dominant underlying principle is looking for simple patterns of light and shadow, and translating these into simple tonal values. Then we look to group similar tonal values together giving us a light tonal group and a shadow group. Ideally these tonal value groups should be a good distance apart, especially if we want to create a strong feeling of light. On top of this we also look at creating lovely flowing watercolour washes with lots of lovely colour variation (whilst keeping our tonal values well grouped); as well as the importance of different types of edges in creating a strong feeling of light in watercolour painting. Soft and fuzzy shadows from working wet into wet, and damp into damp, can create real atmosphere and depth to our shadows. This always contrast so well against the sharper harder lights. ________________________________ 50 minute, fully narrated version (2x speed) https://www.patreon.com/posts/49975541 Shorter time-lapse https://www.patreon.com/posts/49975697 Join me on Patreon for exclusive Tutorials, Time-lapse videos, live-streams, quick tips and much more: https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt __________________________ Upcoming Zoom DEMOS: https://www.tomshepherdart.com/zoom-demos _____________________________ Previous Watercolour Bites Episodes: 1) Basic Terms - https://youtu.be/4icHxwdzQYQ 2) Colour vs Tone - https://youtu.be/qnVjTLxivQI 3) Tonal Values (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE6itosi2Hw 4) Tonal Values (Part 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A8s21LOpuA 5) Tonal Values (Part 3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9h1qXH30Vs 6) Single Most Important thing in Watercolour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1spfpfhqCuY 7) Simple Watercolour Process - https://youtu.be/AbvleXlDoBw 8) Top 10 Tips - https://youtu.be/PZb-3jYxp84 9) Watercolour Brushes - https://youtu.be/-i3EQJ2Sekc 10) Mixing Darks - https://youtu.be/dqfWN5uZwJE _________________________ Please subscribe for lots more to come and don't forget to check out all my other videos, as well as my Patreon teaching page for more in depth look at all aspects of painting! - Links to me - https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt https://www.instagram.com/tomshepherdartist https://www.tomshepherdart.com/

A large part of creating interesting light and shadow in a painting or drawing is using different types of edges. A variety of edges in a piece of art, whatever the medium, is a really great tool! So what are the different types of edges? How do we look for them? How do we create them? And what are they good for? I start of talking about FORM versus CAST shadows. Why they occur, how they differ, and how we can look for and use them in our own paintings and drawings. Next I go on to talk about creating soft shadows and hard lights. Soft shadows create depth, atmosphere and drama in a painting or drawing. They also create more general, less eye grabbing areas... ....whereas, the sharper, harder and more defined areas where the light is hitting can create really interesting and eye grabbing focal points as well as being the perfect contrast to the softer and more gentle areas. We can also use a variety of edges, form, light and shadow to help move the viewers eye around the painting. Finally, we can think about edges and their use in exploring an objects relationship with its background. In very simple terms there a 4 edge types we can consider in any painting or drawing. The way we use them, and ideally use all of them in a single piece can create a huge amount of interest and variety in a painting.

In this quick and simple watercolour tutorial I talk you through my painting of a Great Blue Heron. These are one of my favourite groups of birds to paint (all though I do say that about a lot of birds!!). Those beautiful curved necks that create such wonderful shapes, the character, the features, the colours and the way the light bounces around and catches their form. They are such a great painting subject; and for me the freshness and fun of watercolour really lends itself to this sort of subject. My main aim in this Watercolour Tutorial really is to try and keep things simple, keep them fresh and as a result the painting comes out fairly quickly. I ask myself the question, "what can I leave out?", as much as I do, or more so even, than, "what can I put?" So much of the joy of watercolour painting is how much can you say with as little as possible. How much can we capture the light and the character of the bird. The details are just decorations on top. Please do consider subscribing and don't forget to hit the bell to make sure you know about new videos as they come out. Happy Painting!!

We cover lots of foundational principles to help students progress their painting.

We all get stuck with a painting sometimes, and it can be incredibly frustrating. But how can we use a simple, logical system to push through it. Even if we do push through and finish a painting, it may still not work, not be successful in ours or we simple don't like it. It can make us feel like we can't paint when we get stuck in a painting like this; but how can we learn from each painting so our future ones are more successful? Whether stuck during a painting and needing a way through, or looking for a way to analyse our painting when its done, with a view to progressing with the next one, going through the tick list of the 5 basic principles of painting can really help. Plus a cheeky little extra two at the end. I really hope me showing how I got stuck with this watercolour painting, and more importantly how I got through this and more importantly still, what i took away from this painting, will in turn really help you.

In this video I wanted to talk about the various ways which we can create distance in a painting. How do we create a sense of depth? A sense a space? As well as creating atmosphere and mood in a painting? Essentially what we are talking about here is aerial perspective. In this case, creating aerial perspective in our paintings is about using firstly tonal values. Creating softer and lighter shadows as we recede in the painting is really effective. We can use tonal values to create a focal point or draw attention to certain areas. We can use tonal values to create the illusion of complexity and interest, and in some ways more importantly, we can use them to simplify areas. The power of tonal values in creating this aerial perspective, atmosphere and mood in our paintings is huge. However, we can't neglect the power of colour either. In very simple terms, cooler colours recede and go back. Warmer colours come forward. But it can be more subtle than this. We can have some warm colours in the background but less of them and generally they are softer and more pastel like colours. As we come forward in the painting we will increase the amount of warm colours but also the strength of intensity of the. As artists there are many other tools we can use as an artist to create aerial perspective and to exaggerate the mood and atmosphere of a painting; but this video I just focus on using colour and tonal values - more videos to come! _________________________ Upcoming Zoom DEMOS: https://www.tomshepherdart.com/zoom-demos __________________________ Top 5 Painting Principles Series Ep 1 - Intro & Composition - https://youtu.be/D-XiN65wAzQ Ep 2 - Drawing & Draftsmanship - https://youtu.be/OgPwdnjOqKI Ep 3 - Tonal Values - https://youtu.be/TlHCE7KSveE Ep 4 - Colour - https://youtu.be/KlASrSK6_zU Ep 5 - Edges (+ texture & story) - https://youtu.be/pErloZf-PPU ___________________________ Join me on Patreon for exclusive Tutorials, Time-lapse videos, live-streams, quick tips and much more: https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt _____________________________ Previous Watercolour Bites Episodes: 1) Basic Terms - https://youtu.be/4icHxwdzQYQ 2) Colour vs Tone - https://youtu.be/qnVjTLxivQI 3) Tonal Values (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE6itosi2Hw 4) Tonal Values (Part 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A8s21LOpuA 5) Tonal Values (Part 3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9h1qXH30Vs 6) Single Most Important thing in Watercolour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1spfpfhqCuY 7) Simple Watercolour Process - https://youtu.be/AbvleXlDoBw 8) Top 10 Tips - https://youtu.be/PZb-3jYxp84 9) Watercolour Brushes - https://youtu.be/-i3EQJ2Sekc 10) Mixing Darks - https://youtu.be/dqfWN5uZwJE _________________________ Please subscribe for lots more to come and don;t forget to check out all my other videos, as well as my Patreon teaching page for more in depth look at all aspects of painting! - Links to me - https://www.patreon.com/TomShepherdArt https://www.instagram.com/tomshepherdartist https://www.tomshepherdart.com/
