Boat Pond - Winter #paintingwatercolor #watercolortutorial #arttutorial

Hello Everyone! +This is a start-to-finish watercolor painting demonstration recorded in real-time. In this video, I cover composition, values, interpretation, design, formatting, drawing, sketching, and perspective, etc. +The main themes here are ways of approaching painting a winter view, in low light, and ways of creating a sense of depth - 3 dimensionality - in a compressed space by layering 3 basic values. In addition, I explore the benefits of a limited palette and the power of suggestion and implication over direct statement and too much detail. Depicted is a view of the iconic Boat Pond in New York City during a snow shower in January 2026 Thanks for watching!
