Loved the video. You said at the end the next modules would be watercolor pencils. I did view the water/color pencils videos parts 1&2 modules 20&21 in the colored pencils course which were again excellent. I was wondering instead of possibly repeating the same or similar information over again would you instead consider doing a 2-3 part module on light, light & shadow &
Loved the video. You said at the end the next modules would be watercolor pencils. I did view the watercolor pencils videos parts 1&2 modules 20&21 in the colored pencils course which were again excellent. I was wondering instead of possibly repeating the same or similar information over again would you instead consider doing a 2-3 part module on light, light & shadow & light effects. I read in a drawing book the artist said that learning how to control light in your drawings/paintings plays a huge part in their success & I’m sure you would agree. I’m sure you have planned these courses out long before they hit the video stage so the watercolor pencils videos are probably in production as we speak but maybe down the road could you consider the light videos. Thanks.
What a beautiful portrait! Because of the editing, it is not clear at what speed you are working – is all the back ground worked wet into wet, and if so do you keep re- wetting the paper or do you just work really quickly? That must take a great deal of confidence I don’t have!
Hi Barbara,
I’m working quickly here – keeping the surface wet as I go.
What kind of paint brushes do you use?
Hi Sandra,
I like the GoldenEdge watercolor brushes by Grumbacher.
Awesome…. loved this portrait painting modules

hi, Matt. yes, saw that but it wasn’t working before. now, it worked. thanks a lot.
That is an incredible watercolor portrait!!! I found your website to help my grandnephew [10], but have learned more than 2 years’ worth of my university art classes in just the last two days.
Wow Matt, this was amazing! I never knew you could do a portrait in watercolor. I am a total newbie to this and enjoyed every little moment. In all your courses you break it down to easily understand and follow along. Thank you so much Matt, you are an incredible teacher!
Hi Annelize,
