Watercolour Painting from a Photograph | Fast & Loose Landscapes with the Large Ron Ranson Hake
zhlédnutí 532Před 14 hodinami
When I first saw Pam's photo in the Reference Photo Chat page at www.patreon.com/StevenCronin I wasn't sure if I could make it work as a watercolour. Then I thought if I go to town with the sky colours then hopefully the painting will progress from there. At the end I was pleased with how it turned. At one point I was ready to hit abort but stuck with it and was ultimately happy. -~- - - -~- 1....

Good comment. At the end of the day, if it goes wrong, all it's cost you is a bit of paper, some piant, and a bit of time. Having said that, I've had an unfinished painting sitting on my board for months now because I'm scared to add the final touches, as I know Im going to cock it up!!🤣🤣
I agree. I try to point out to people that, first and foremost, this is supposed to be fun. If you concentrate more on the enjoyment aspect, you may not become bogged down in the fact that it may not be "perfect..." not that I think anyone has ever painted a perfect painting.
character
they look like scrounchies (scanning comments: alert, could get noticed, yet they don't REALLY look like scrounchies) or brains ()
I love this❤
❤well said 👏 👍 🎉😊
Very nice
Gorgeous
Beautiful!!!
Thank you, Steven. You are always so encouraging. It really helps.
Steven You are the best teacher I've ever seen. You explain everything so well.
how cool!!
Love this one!
There is something magical about watching your trees develop from abstract color! Thanks for the demo and as always take good care. Jimmy
Perfect!
Thanks Steven. Very helpful.
What size paper poundage. I can't scrape my paper without ripping, tearing it?
what is this the stone age?
pound for pound, i'd give you the pond
Thanks Steve, this is a very nice painting - I love the cloudy sky and the illusion of mist near the mountains.
nice, thanks 😉
Another classic. I bet you have caused more hakes to be purchased than Ron Ranson after all of these years.
These are great! I want to use a more loose style with my students. I'll try your way.
I love it Steven.
I love your accent n paintings
The way you effortlessly made those branches was legitimately extremely impressive
It's always so amazing seeing people create art
I often refer to painting as throwing myself on the mercy of the watercolour gods.
MY Guy you are DESTROYING that brush when you press all the bristles hard against the canvas like that. I know it's your supplies but geez, tryna give me a heart attack.😥
This is a great inspirational talk, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very encouraging :)
Very nice I know I've said it before a few times,reminds me of turner😊
This is nice to hear, thanks for the good advice. i get very nervous about my art
Thank you ❤
You're welcome
Yup, just keep painting, one day it will all fall into place ❤.
Absolutely!!
I do a mix, photos, other paintings and my own head all mixed into one painting. Never looks like anything I used for reference. I like letting the painting paint itself. Got a patch of white? Turn it into a highlight of a building
You are the most wonderful artist. I am amazed. Youve taught me so much. So appreciate your channel.
Thank you so much!
I just love the textures here, great work
Thank you! Cheers!
your painting style is awesome. Love the result
Thank you! Cheers!
Good afternoon Steven I hope you are well. I've been following you for many years now and I rarely see you do a primitive sketch of the subject prior to painting. Can one do a sketch and still use the loose technique that you use? It could give variation to our work. Thanks as always ans take good care, Jimmy
Perhaps you need a holiday or a short break Steven.😏One where you can take loads of photos and create new inspiring reference materials to work from. You certainly deserve one after all of the help and great advice you have given to others. Cotswolds, Derbyshire, Shropshire; even some seascapes at the seaside? I think you have a lot more inside you ready to come out☺
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Love your work. It steers me off the overworked bad habit I have! Many thanks!
You are so welcome!
Nice Steve
thanks Stu
Incredible!!!
thanks for watching
Very nice
Thanks
stunning
Thank you! 😊
Not my cup o tea
Thanks for watching anyway Ronnie
Love your paintings and this is not an exception. Your postings always inspire me.
Thanks Sue
