This is my first speed painting but I am planning on doing all my future pieces this way.

I mounted a digital camcorder overhead to film the time-lapse. This is my first speed painting video. I decided to record the whole process so that other artist or people looking to buy artwork can see the whole process. Hopefully being on Youtube and having people all over the world see and comment on my work.

Sorry for the confusion, my son posted this for me. I only laid in the initial light brown with watercolor, the rest was done with gouache. Also it was done on illustration board. And I used winsor and newton designer gouache. If you want to see really great work done with gouache, google carl brenders.

for those who are wondering you can do light on dark in watercolor using dry brush. That means your brush starts dry, then you load the liquid watercolor paint without adding water (or very little) and apply it to the painting. i guess you could say this is more of a gouache style because of the opacity of the tones he's using.

Beautiful work. Was this all watercolor? I seen you going light over dark quite a bit and I didn't think that was possible. Pardon my ignorance, I use oils only and would like to give water color a try sometime.
