SIMPLIFY your subject

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! ________________________________ Full length version soon to be available on my School of Watercolour: https://schoolofwatercolour.co.uk/ --- Links to me --- https://schoolofwatercolour.co.uk/   / tomshepherdartist   https://www.tomshepherdart.com/ https://www.stitcher.com/show/creativ... _____________________________ Other Recent videos: Create a STRONG FOCAL POINT -    • Create a STRONG FOCAL point   How to Create Strong Light with watercolours -   • How to create STRONG LIGHT with WATERCOLOURS   Do this with watercolour    • DO this with WATERCOLOUR   ______________________________ Previous Watercolour Bites Episodes: 1) Basic Terms -    • IMPROVING with WATERCOLOR - easy to unders...   2) Colour vs Tone -    • Ep.2 WATERCOLOR Painting made SIMPLE - Eas...   3) Tonal Values (Part 1)    • Ep.3 WATERCOLOR painting made SIMPLE - Eas...   4) Tonal Values (Part 2)    • Ep. 4 Improve your Watercolor Painting - T...   5) Tonal Values (Part 3)    • Ep. 5 Improve your Watercolor Painting - T...   6) Single Most Important thing in Watercolour -    • Most IMPORTANT tip for WATERCOLOUR painting   7) Simple Watercolour Process -    • EASY WATERCOLOR Process -  Simple to under...   8) Top 10 Tips -    • Top Tips for WATERCOLOUR Painting   9) Watercolour Brushes -    • Watercolour BRUSHES for Beginners - which ...   10) Mixing Darks -    • Mixing Darks with Watercolor   _________________________ --- Links to me ---   / tomshepherdartist   https://www.tomshepherdart.com/ https://www.stitcher.com/show/creativ...
