Oliver Pyle - Our Landscape
United Kingdom
Приєднався 12 бер 2020
Welcome! I am a professional artist based in the UK, specialising in painting the British landscape in watercolour. The landscape has always been inspirational to me and you can read more about my experiences in it and why I paint it in the way I do on my blog - www.ourlandscape.co.uk.
I hope that you will find inspiration and instruction through the clips and tutorials that I post, some of which are also available on my Instagram page (watercolour_olly). While I endeavour to keep the channel updated with new material for you, please keep in mind that painting for the galleries that represent me and the clients that commission me will always be my primary activity; if it goes quiet for a while, then that's a good thing........I'm keeping busy!
Please post comments and feel free to share your own tips, suggestions and critques; that way we can keep in touch and keep learning together. I may not be able to reply immediately, but I'll do my best to respond as soon as I can.

The best-ever watercolor exercise?
Ever wanted an achievable watercolor workout that allows you to practice the following technical skills all in one?.....
Colour mixing
Brushstrokes
Wet-on-dry
Wet-on-wet
Timing
Managing a wash
Well, have a go at this exercise - it's great fun, quick to do, and seems like nothing more than a quick doodle. But in the video I show you the importance of practicing like this, and how it helps you to improve your technique in the areas above. I have done these for years, and continue to do them regularly; I attribute the progression in my technical skills to this, more than anything else. I genuinely believe it is the best-ever watercolor exercise!
This video is the perfect follow-on to my previous video (The Art of Landscape Looking' ua-cam.com/video/ZJEYFEzumQc/v-deo.html ) which shows you how to become familiar with your subject. This exercise will help you to grow your skills so that you can feel more confident capturing your moments of landscape inspiration.
If you're a beginner and need some guidance on what equipment to use, or a little more detail behind some of these techniques, then please watch the following video series:

Wow what a great foundational tutorial ! Thanks for posting.
Love this style of painting. Thku for sharing. Must try it myself now.
You always take your tutorials up a few notches from others that I see. Thank you for sharing!
It's a story of my history being changed in front of me 😔
Great video! When you put down your initial wash of water before adding paint, did you leave the white areas dry?
I’m new to watercolour painting after 10 years of painting with pastels. Your videos are just what I need to get started and understanding a very different medium. You are an excellent teacher, such clarity and precision in every video. Many thanks for sharing.
Best set of watercolour exercises I have found. Thank you.
I’m hooked! I’m definitely going to practice this. Thank you.
Are you Australian? Did you used to paint and not try to instruct on UA-cam about 7 years ago? And you used an inexpensive plastic palette?
Всё очень хорошо, красиво. Но. хотелось бы видеть референс перед собой, чтобы понимать что же мы рисуем и зачем и к чему все эти чёрточки, мазочки - что будет в результате?
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot by just watching. Now to go to my desk and practice.
Motivating and informative demonstration. Can't wait to begin practical application now. Thank you!
I love to listen you talk.
I love the pinkish reflection in the water.
Excellent guidance going to put in the practice timing and observation first before I complete this large painting. We're on track. Thanks Oliver 😊
I love this ..
Very informative study! Thank you!
Love you videos
Love this instruction thanks 😊
I enjoy how Oliver mixes colors he helps me with mine thank you 😊
Thankyou Oliver, I'm going to try this technique to some paper I've got that buckles. I have to ask, How do you remove it without damaging the painting, or are you cutting the painting out with a blade? Thanks in advance ☺️
This is exactly how I have lost my way. 40 odd years of being lost 😔 This has inspired me to just be myself now and paint how I was meant to paint! Thank you so much for this Oliver! ❤️
Great insight! Thanks a lot! 🙏🏾❤️
A great help thanks
This video is particularly interesting in that you explain and demonstrate using the sky as an element of the overall composition. Thank you for the insights. I'm definitely going to give it a try!
I just recently discovered your channel. Great presentation and awesome artwork.
Z jakiej firmy posiada pan pędzle ?
Woow thank you
Thank you for this wonderful introduction to watercolors! It is exactly what I was looking for as someone who is just beginning my watercolor journey. You are a truly wonderful teacher and so generous with your time and knowledge.
Very good information
Beautifully demonstrated....many thanks!
Nice video, thanks for sharing. I like that saying that "tone does the work but colour gets the credit". Subbed!
Found this so very helpful. Subtleties are everything 😊
You are a fabulous teacher and I will be watching every one of your lessons. I like that you have numbered them. And of course I subscribed and liked every one of the ones I have watched so far!
Wow!!!! I learned so much about the whole process and it is so encouraging, especially for someone who is just learning at the ripe old age of 84!
Super, super helpful tutorial. Thank you for making practicing useful and fun.
This painting is as exciting as watching his bad palette colors dry.
Thank you Oliver, I’m really enjoying your videos and have been watching them multiple times! Just wondering if you plan to do a video on the sketching/drawing part of landscape scenes?
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your lessons and knowledge! They are priceless. Very clear! Thank you very much! I'm a fan of yours.
Amazing... Love your videos ❤
Just found your channel. I'm so happy 😊 That was an absolute Master class in watercolour.. my Nan taught me to paint in oils as a kid, unfortunately we didn't get the time together to cover watercolours as much.. she would have loved your channel and your art. I'm totally inspired to get onto my first landscape in years! Thanks so much 😊 🙏
Yes very hekpful
Really nice job. Finally, a southpaw to watch paint. Cheers.
I’m brand new to the channel but will be a regular viewer. Fantastic tutorial. If I painted that it would indeed be a masterpiece!
Love the video, best explanation, demonstration, resolution, edit... Thank you 🙏
Please tell us the colors you are using as you use them. Thanks!
