I enjoyed this lesson. Why do the finished photos always look brighter than the colours on the video we are following?
Nice lesson. I enjoyed learning more about water. The pan pastels did not do well with the wet wash. The effects in the water were better than the marks on the sky. Have used alcohol before but has a different effect. As always, thanks.
Probably my favorite technique yet, the colors blended beautifully on watercolor paper.
Hi Matt,
Thank you for the quality of your lessons, I’m really enjoying it.
I cannot download the video for this lesson as well as some other lessons (e.g. color theory and mixing). Is there a problem with that specific video, or there are some maintenance operations with your site? Is there an alternative way of downloading videos? Thanks
Hi Dick,
This is a current issue with our video hosting provider, Vimeo. They are aware of the issue and are working to fix it. This is currently affecting all of Vimeo.
Thanks for a prompt reply Matt. Will try it again tomorrow.
