Beginning with broad, loose washes of French ultramarine, cerulean blue, sap green, and warm yellows, Paul focuses on establishing the foundation of the painting through large value shapes rather than details. He encourages artists to flood the paper with color, allow pigments to blend naturally, and avoid chasing perfect accuracy in the early stages. Throughout the demonstration, he shows how subtle shifts in temperature and saturation can create convincing sunlight, while emphasizing that watercolor’s beauty often comes from letting the medium perform part of the work on its own. The heart of the lesson is Paul’s explanation of value versus tone—a concept he considers fundamental to successful watercolor painting. He demonstrates how light-filled areas require cleaner, more saturated color, while shadows become darker and more subdued through the introduction of neutralized tones. By building the painting in stages—light washes first, cast shadows second, and details last—he creates depth, atmosphere, and a strong focal point without overworking the surface. The session concludes with practical advice on composition, controlling the viewer’s eye through contrast and detail placement, and using color harmony to strengthen the overall design, offering valuable insights into the techniques that have made his luminous landscapes so recognizable. ✅ Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ArtefactoSchool?sub_confirmation=1 🎨 JOIN US ON SOCIAL NETWORKS: Facebook ➤ https://www.facebook.com/artefactoschool Instagram ➤ https://www.instagram.com/artefacto_school/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Artefacto is an international online art school where you will learn how to paint.
