I quite enjoyed painting this watercolour. It is interesting what comes into your mind as you paint and see things in the watercolour. One of my Patron's has been painting some beautiful seascapes with yachts in them and I think that is how that popped into my mind when I saw this seascape.

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)
I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.

Thanks!
Thanks Larry! You are too kind!
I just finished a watercolor of a house appearing out the mist and re-watching your spectacular ‘sailboat in a storm’ video reminded me of multiple things I did ‘wrong’. But the most significant mistake is that I made the house too big. The thing I love about watercolor is the ability to create credible, emotional atmosphere. I got the sky and reflections working pretty well, then I put this too large house in. I’m going to try again with a smaller house and trees. You, Tony Smibert and JMWTurner all keep most of your ‘reality’ details very small, thereby allowing the atmospherics to dominate the painting. Your corrections are also interesting. That slash of light (where the sailboat is) you removed was of particularly instructive. I need to be bolder with corrections. Anyway, thanks again for a brilliant video.
Yes I like it.
Thanks cbm-solhem!
Wow I really like this one Scott ...
Thanks Jacinta! I do too! 👍👍
@@ScottSwinson The colours and layers are just wonderful ... Thanks for sharing your art!! :)
Those colours do make lovely combinations! Thanks for watching! 👍🙏
Great! Looks like a wonderfull Turner!
Thanks Danielle! I don’t think I’m in the same league as Turner but it does have a Turner / sublime feel about it! Thank you! I totally love Turner! 👍👍
This painting makes me think of the blurred line between heaven and earth. I love it.
Lovely.
Thanks Howard! 🙏
Looks so simple...ha ha ha I know better. Fantastic job 👏👍
Hi Bruce! Thanks! Yes that applies to so many watercolours. They can look so simple but try and recreate it and it's more difficult than you thought. Happy painting mate!
Gorgeous!
Amazing
Absolutely stunning!
Beautiful Scott
Thanks Begona! Hope you are good. Cheers Scott
Truly a brilliant painting and wonderful tutorial. Thank you!
I love the wounderfull light in your aquarell it reminds me of a William Turner picture , what a lovely picture many greetings from Berlin Germany
Hi Christiane! I'm really glad you liked it! I do love Turner! His watercolours were and are amazing! Hope things are good in Berlin! Cheers Scott
I love this, thank you .👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
This work is beautiful and inspiring for a beginner working with watercolor. nice to see your techniques in detail, thank you for sharing.
A beautiful atmospheric painting. Thank you for sharing this.
This is a gift! Thank you. I was really struggling with trying to get a seascape last night. Learnt so much!
This is so beautiful! Reminds me a little bit on Lyonel Feininger. Great!
I recently went to the JMW Turner exhibit at the Kimbell in Fort Worth, Texas. This painting of yours is so gorgeous and is as equally impressive as any one of Turner’s on exhibit!! The composition and drama of this reminds me of Turner’s style in many of his oil paintings. I know he did watercolor as well, but to me it’s so impressive how you achieved this kind of drama with watercolor as he did with his oil paintings. Just so amazing and stunning. I just love your work. Cheers!
Hi JHM! Thanks so much! You are too kind! I love his work! That painting of light is what interests me soo much! It is what drives me to keep painting and trying to capture the feeling of a place! Thanks so much for your comments! Cheers Scott
Your work is FANTASTIC!!
Just amazing! Thanks for the instruction and motivation to ‘let go’ of control.
Hi Jackie! It is good to let go but if you are beginning in watercolour I suggest people actually have some structure in their leaning otherwise the whole idea of letting go and just being free can turn to a mess and be no fun, just overwhelming! Thanks for watching. Cheers Scott
Thanks for the video ..
Love you approach and style !
It's greatly appreciated 🙏
Hi tricky tv! Thanks! Glad you like the videos! 👍👍
I love ❤ this painting
Great loved your composition!!
Thanks Ravi! It has a bit of that sublime feel about it! 👍👍
Thank you Scott for a lovely demo of such a beautiful dramatic painting
Many thanks Scott i love this reminds me of Turner moody for sure....regards from the mountains of Catalunya Spain.....
Wow, thank you for sharing this with us
Thanks Zion! 👍👍👍
Thanks Scott! Really appreciate your generosity in sharing your tutorials. Gorgeous, moody painting!
Hi Trish! You are always welcome! I hope people get the bug of watercolour like I did all those years ago! It is such an amazing medium unlike any other! Happy painting!
Just wonderful and inspiring work Scott as always. Thank you 👍.
Hi Casey! Thank you! 🙏
Love your style and how you explain what you are doing . Thankyou for sharing your knowledge .

Beautiful and powerful. Thank you
Hi Linda! Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Love the moodiness of this piece. I can almost feel the wind blowing. Fantastic job! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Lisa Lisa! I do too! I do love looking at the ocean or sailing small boats but on those bigger yachts I get a bit sick! lol
Stunning. You are an excellent painter and instructor!
I absolutely love and appreciate Scott that you put a yacht into your great seascape I have wondered how to do this myself great finished 👍painting
Hi Tina! Yes a yacht was the right thing to put into this landscape!
Very Turneresque! Very nicely done!
Thanks Thom! 🙏
Three strokes and I'd buy it 5 stokes and I couldn't afford it! Love your work...... If only my watching could make me an artist!
Magnifique !!!
Thanks Patricia! 🙏
Absolutely Gorgeous.....wow
Hi Sandi! Thanks! It is a lovely watercolour with lots of wet in wet! Cheers Scott
Wow... Very impressive work!
Thanks Shahanoor!! 👍🙏
I absolutely love this painting! One can get lost in the dramatic story it represents! Very ominous!! Sometimes you scare me when it looks so perfect, and then you decide to throw more dark paint in! You’re always right, of course..It looks amazing!!
Hi Patsy! Yes it can look a bit of a mess at times! I do love a bit of ominous gloaming light! thanks for watching! Cheers Scott
same feeling here!
Quite Turner like loved it well
done ✔️
Hi Jenny! Thanks! I do love Turner! Such an amazing painter! 🙏
Tremendous , Scott
Thanks Gaz! Love a bit of gloaming light and atmosphere!
Nature is awesome, created by God. Always keep that in mind. If it wasn't created you wouldn't have landscapes to paint.
The world is a beautiful place! 👍
Love your paintings. New to watercolours, only been painting for about 4 years. Am totally hooked, but wonder if I will ever really get it right.
I am sure you will get closer and closer to where you want to be in watercolour. I don't think the road ever ends though! I'm gong to need a lifetime and then some! Happy painting! Cheers Scott
This one is so atmospheric. Love it!
Hi Parsley Mint! Thanks! It is! I do love atmospheric light! 👍👍
fantastically beautiful ! Thank you!
As yachties this painting scares me a bit. Have seen these ominous skies when sailing. Not a good feeling heading into it. Apart from my that, absolutely love the painting. Love to give it a go.
Es genial ! Gracias
Scott Swindon, never had the chance to see that tv show, Will hope for reruns.
Your work is extraordinary 🤞👀
Thanks Cheryl! I don't know that TV show! lol
Scott, this such a strong, exciting painting! It is positively inspiring. Thank you for going through all the effort to record your steps and explanations. I love your work, and how you focus on nature. It’s apparent that you are moved by the wonders of the universe too.
I wish i was this good at painting. I havent painted in awhile. I got into a painters block but will have to get back into it again
Hi Hunter! I am sure you will be able to! Just keep painting and learning! Enjoy!
Lovely! Very JMWT! Jill 🇬🇧
Thanks J Robson! I always love it if anyone uses his name when talking about one of my paintings! I have a lifetime ahead of me to try and get there! He was an amazing artist!
You’re a genius and I don’t say that lightly. Tried to give you some support with a “Thanks” but haven’t figured out to do it with Touch ID. Good luck and stay on your path of discovery. Love watching you.
Hi Dolly! Thanks so much! Happy painting! Scott
I didn't know Turner was Australian
Excellent, +1 for the the possum 🤩
Thanks Joe! I do love him....Turner not the possum! lol
¡Love it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks! 🙏
Super skyscape
Thanks Robert! Would look good with a mountain rearing up into it! 👍👍
Hi Scott. The left handed like us are the best 😁
I love watching pigments dancing on the paper, it's so Magic 🥰
In this painting I Can see the eye of the univers protecting the small boat and guiding him in a big storm.
Next time I comment in french 😁 my phone always corrects what I try to write 😡
Don't forget your crassula, it will grow awfully inside the studio 😉
hi So Sorka! Glad you liked it! I will definitely move the plant! My wife wants it back anyway! As I burrowed it when we renovated the studio! My plant will thank you for your care and concern!
@@ScottSwinson 🤣 coincé entre 2 femmes, il faut capituler et ramener la plante 🤣
This is like a biblical scene
Of wow. The best. Ta. ever so
Hi Karol! Thanks! Pretty cool painting with lots of atmosphere and mood! Happy painting!
Bad hair day? Seems to be lucky! Great painting!
Yes! I know! We have only just come out of a very long lockdown! No hair cut for months! Lol
@@ScottSwinson ha! We know all about that here in the States. Understood. I just cut 3 inches off of my head .
@@LavishHim yes I bet you do! 3 inches is a lot! I’m booked for the 2nd of November! Can’t wait! 👍👍👍👍
I really love your work. I was wondering, could you do a painting with fog coming across the hills or fog coming in between trees or fog across the water? I live in the San Francisco Bay area and I am having a difficult time trying to create fog. It would be wonderful to see you do this. Many thanks. Many many thanks for your time and energy for these videos. You are a master!!☺️
Hear hear!
Hi Lola! I’ll have a look at some photos of the San Francisco Bay Area fog and could give that a go next video. 👍👍👍
I mean Lola’s Mum! Lol
@@ScottSwinson Yipee!!! Thanks!!! So many photos of the hills with rolling fog!
@@Pattymelt415 it will come out in a week or two! 👍👍
讚！👋👋👋👍👍👍🌈🤩
Wauwwwwww beautiful groetjes uit Nederland i painting to.
Thanks Marleen! Happy painting!
What kind of paper do you use? Does it have to be 100 percent cotton to get your fantastic effects?
Hi Den! I think if you want to paint lots of layers as this painting has then 100% cotton paper is needed! 👍👍
Ha great, d‘you have an opossum? Really? 😍
🙏🌊🔱
Hi Socrates! You are always welcome! 👍🙏🙏😀
😍😍😍😍😍😍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Glad you liked it Tara! 🙏🙏
Love this tutorial! The text is in the way though. I cant see what you do fully.
You can turn off the subtitles😉
Hi Emmy! Glad you like it! As Sanshine said below you can switch off subtitles CC by clicking on the button. Google it if you can't work it out. Thanks for watching! Cheers Scott
Scott Is that watercolor paints or water down acrylics ?
How is it not mixing and turning green?
Hi how did you scrap out the yacht ?
Est il possible d avoir au moins le nom des couleurs en français si non je ne peux pas du tout essayer de peindre ce tableau ..Merci beaucoup
Hi An the colours are in the description of every video and you should be able to put them into google translate to find out what they are....hope that helps. cheers Scott
are you still on patrion?
Do you have the image in mind before you begin, or does it emerge spontaneously as you paint?
Absolutely stunning!
