- Painting with Hake's this time!
I never did a whole painting with those big flats!
After a photo from Lois Davidson.
I did like it, and determined to use them more often!
The Colours I name in the video. Ranson used Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Lemon Yellow, Light Red, Alizarine Crimson and Paynes grey - Jak na to + styl
It's amazing! Dani
Thank you Dani.
Absolutely love this. Loved Ron Ranson, great to see his legacy lives on!!
Ranson was a great artist and even a greater writer
Not sure why it's taken me this long to find you here on YT, Edo, but I've been binge watching your tutorials and absorbing so much. You have such a cool, no nonsense style of painting, which makes it quite easy to leave with complete confidence in my own abilities. You break the paintings down and demonstrate using a limited palette. Too many choices can lead to confusion, so I appreciate your methods and materials. Please continue to post these wonderful lessons and I know many of us will return and support your efforts, Edo. Count me in as a new subscriber, too. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your nice comments. really encouraging to make more videos! I keep things simple because when you know how it is not that complicated. it takes a bit of courage and knowing how wet your brush is. mixing colours comes natural to me because I work for 40 years in the graphical industry. But I use not more then 3 or 4 pigments for a painting! It helps me but it helps the painting even more! balance and harmony are easier with a few colours.
I have not painted in over a year, you have inspired me to start again ☺️ David
that is nice to hear! have a go David!!
I studied with Ron Ranson for five years and I think he would've been proud of your use of minimal brushwork and simplicity in design. Very nicely done!
I admired Mr Ranson a long time! te movies articles and the books! not only his own books, but the books about other painters are the best you can buy!! Thanks for the nice compliment!
I'm just starting with watercolor and this is just a big help since i have no money to pay online classes. Thank you so much for this free demos. Means a lot to me!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Thank you so much good to hear you like the channel!
Love your work Edo and watching you paint. May they long continue.
Thank you very much Mick! I will continue!
Its a wonderful painting, thank you so much Edo, I am so happy to see my local park painted so freshly and beautifully :-)
Well Lois, your photo did the trick! Thank you very much!
Really lovely, thank you for your videos, always enjoyable.
Thank you very much Marg!! Always encouraging!
Great demo! Beautiful result! Thank you so much,..........can’t wait to have a try myself now.
Sue Beeson Thank you very much Sue. So Nice You are inspired.
Fantastic. Beautiful as ever!
Thank you so much again Marg!!
Well done Edo. Good to see the Hake in action again. It looks like a really good brush for loose landscape painting, especially receding hedgerows. And yet it knocks up great trees so easily too. I really enjoy your demonstrations of past masters. We've got the books and it is so great to see them in action. Thank you.
I use the Hake way less then I must. But as all artist I am a collector of stuff. so I have a lot of brushes I can use. and usually go for the first one I see. I shall try the hake once more in the future.
So happy to have just discovered your channel! Subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your work. Beautiful.
Barbara Verser my pleasure Barbara. I am planning to make a lot more.
A really excellent tutorial and painting. Thank you!👍
Thank you 🙏 very much.
I really enjoy your videos and how you handle washes especially. The portrayal of the Dutch landscape is also fascinating as it is so, so flat, and where I live, mountains and hills are more the norm. I have learned a lot from your videos - keep them coming!
Thanks Naomi! so nice to hear you learn a lot from them! very encouraging!!
Such a mastery! Great work, thank you for that! :)
ARCHITECTURE TODAY That is a nice compliment. Thank you.
Excellent! Thank you Edo.
Robyn Littlejohn Robyn Thanks. My pleasure.
Thank you for sharing your art and the process - I have learned a lot! I’m so glad CZcams recommended your video to me :))
Thank you very much
Thanks a lot for showing the Ron Ranson technique here. He would have loved it!!!
I studied his books and "Skies" is my favourite art book in the shelve.
Your work with the hake brush is masterful!!!
taunus spatz my pleasure Taunus. It was my first time with the hake’s and I liked it a lot. I know from a good friend of Ron Ranson who showed my paintings to Mr Ranson that he liked them. So sad he passed away. But it was on a high age. Thank you very much Taunus.
So captivating, learned so much! Thank you
Thank you so much
I love this! I learned a lot from Ron Ranson and I still like painting with my hake!
Thank you Margaret, it was my first time I completed a painting with Hake's I did a wash here and there with them! But now I did one from start to end! planning more to use them! And Ron Ranson was a wonderful teacher! so many demo's in just one video!
I love your work, beautiful!
Thanks for your compliment!!
I love those trees and the colours
I use just the usual colors. But I mix very well!
Hi Edo, I've not seen one of your videos before, but really enjoyed this. A lovely painting, thank you.
Thank you very much Clive. I am happy that you like what I do.
Wonderful work. Thank you for demo 🌹🌹❤️
Thank you Burri!
So beautiful, love it ❤️👍
Thank you so much!
Thanks for video, using the Hake forces you to simplify and not fiddle. The hardest thing is controlling the amount of water the hake can hold.
I never painted before with these ones, I did a sky here and there once. But indeed the amount of water is huge! I paint a lot with squirrel, but Hake's contain more water!
I really like this Edo, thank you! Happy New Year!
Thank you so much Happy New Year
Just great!!
Thank you. That’s a beautiful painting :)
Thank you very much Min A
Magnifique!! Merci
Thank you very much
Is weer een wijze les, Edo. Bedankt!!!
Dankjewel Ed!!!
Beautiful landscape thanks
My pleasure Xavier! Thank you very much!!
Accomplished Edo - you catch the essence of watercolour - less is more
Thank you very much Geoffrey! I always try to make the brushstrokes I need! A few years ago it hit me! I made one that was with the right amount of brushstrokes, and without mistakes! since then I try to make another one! ;-)
Wonderful. That's me under the tree putting on my ice skates.
Gene O Gene Thank you. Have a good skate. 😉
Well Edo, no one would think you don't use hakes much!!! One of the best so far, and I loved your honest comment "a brush is a brush" ☺️
Barbara Gemin its indeed a very popular video so far. I don’t know why, but it makes me happy. And Paper is nr 1 brushes nr 2 pigments comes last.
Edo Hannema Watercolour Art Totally agree with this priority!
This was great thanks Edo!
Joe Menza Thank you Joe. Glad you like it.
This is beautiful!!
Thank you very much
beautifully done Edo
Colin Woodward Thank you Colin.
thank you very much Edo, much appreciated, Ian
My pleasure Ian!! Thanks!
Beautiful ❤
Thank you very much
Thank you Edo!!!
My Pleasure John!!
I did two of these at the same time which helped me a lot. Came out pretty good. Looks different from yours but that’s to be expected. A million thanks you’s for this painting, it’s pretty and taught me a lot. I may even do it again tomorrow. Thanks!!
good to hear that Catherine! When I would this one again it would be different too! and that is okay. the techniques are most important not the likeness! its a old saying "when you want to paint a cow, paint 1000 of them then you know how to paint a cow! "
Edo Hannema Watercolour Art hi. You wouldn’t believe how much better they look now that they dried completely. I wrote down the names of the paint colors and I used exactly the same colors....although the colors could vary from company to company. All that to say, I used lemon yellow and I mixed it until it looked like your first warm layer and the painting on the right is a lot more yellow in the sky than the painting on the left. The other one has a peach toned sky with blue and clouds. I used a dab of crimson on both. I did these at the same exact time. I’m so glad I did. I got a perfect tree on the first one and much better perspective on the next one. I wish I could move the tree over-laugh. But both trees look great now that they dried. So fun. I imagine tomorrow’s version will be completely different like you said about the cows. I painted the same village over and over again until I can now do it quickly. How many times did you paint this exact painting? Once? Or more. You’ve been painting longer than I have. I could learn a lot from you. I’ll subscribe!
I keep you pretty busy I see. 😊😊 well if you have fun and learn new things it is always good. I did this one for the first time. But I made skies, trees and snow before.
Can I see your paintings somewhere on internet?
Edo Hannema Watercolour Art hi, I just posted them on my Facebook today. If you want me to email them to you I’d be happy to do that. Or you can search for me on Facebook. You’ll be able to see that I did this one with 2 papers at the same time. I used the same colors and went stroke by stroke with the same brushes. Try searching for Catherine Levison. I live in the USA. I don’t have any other social media. I’m not on instagram or Pinterest. I don’t have Twitter either. If you don’t want to post your email you can email me at catherinelevison@yahoo.com and I’ll reply to you with photos of the 2 paintings. Thank you.
I love your trees.....that takes so much practice to get them just so....I need about 9000 more hours of practice.
I have a Aubrey Philips demo, I make shapes in stead of trees. And they look like trees. so it is not hard. just practice shapes.
Excellent. I will try this big brush technique. Thank you.
Sure it is fun to try! it was also my first time with them! and enjoyed it very much! But I have to say I could make this with any other brush too! Thank you Catherine!
Edo Hannema Watercolour Art hi, I would imagine you could use any brush. You got outstanding results with very few brush strokes which seems to me to be a sign of an experienced and talented artist.
@@catherinelevison3310 More experienced then talented I am afraid. It took me very long to reach this level and still feel I have to learn so much more! But your lovely compliment makes my day! Thank you Catherine!
Edo Hannema Watercolour Art ...well, I will still insist that you have talent because I watched you paint this beautiful masterpiece right before my eyes with the fewest brushstrokes humanly possible. I’m putting myself through much training here on CZcams. I started with nature observation by painting or drawing exactly what I saw in the leaf or sand dollar and to my surprise it worked. Watercolor is my favorite medium so far. I have to go over parts up to 6 times because the color fades as it dries. Do you have a favorite paint company and paper? Will I learn all about that from your other videos?
@@catherinelevison3310 Thanks again Catherine! I paint mainly on paper from StCutbertsmill, they have three sort of papers in different sorts. rough hot pressed and cold pressed. You have Bockingford a hard surface watercolour paper. by hard I mean the pigments stay more on the surface. then you have Saunders Waterford, a paper that can take a lot of abuse! Watch my latest video and see the dark brushstroke I put in over the water in the beginning and how soft it dries afterwards. And there is Millford, a heavy sized somewhat water resistant surface that dries as light powder and paint like a dream! I use Rembrandt, Schmincke and Old Holland for pigments. And I have a box of Kremer pigments! Also Daler Rowney and W&N. I am a addict about painting stuff! I could begin a store! ;-)
Thank you!!!
My Pleasure John!!
Excelente bellísimo
Thank you very much!!
Thanks...good work..
Thank you Michel!
I have one of these wretched brushes (I’m joking mostly) and I’m still struggling with it. They hold a Ton of water! But I absolutely Love Ron Ranson’s style painting. You did a terrific job and I know Mr. Ranson would be proud, God test his soul. Best wishes, Stacy
They do hold a lot of water, and water control is so important with watercolour. Try a old towel. and give the hake every time a rest on that towel . so you always have the right amount of dampness in your brush. in the garden or plein air you could give it a good sweep!
Edo Hannema Watercolour Art What a wonderful idea! I will try that, thank you so much!
They are great brushes. But what nobody realises is that Ron used to trim them down first. When they were new to get rid of the bulk of bristle at the sides. I knew Ron very well personally and all his hakes were nearly paper thin at the tips
I studied with Ron and this is very true...you have to wear them down.
really very good
Thank you Pop!
GREAT!
Thank you so much
amazing
Thanks H H
Very attractive. thanks
Thanks Raj
Świetna praca !! Widzę że malujesz niskie horyzonty i wysokie niebo !! Efektownie to wygląda !! Wypróbuję !!
A good design is always good! Thank you!
I watched this one before. Edo your work is so beautiful! Did you have any training? Thank you so much for showing all of your beautiful work. It’s nice like we are in the studio with you😊
When. I started in 1987 we did have not much. Just a few books. No internet, no videos or dvd's.
I bought the book from John Pike, and later on in 1992 a VHS video from Ray Campbell Smith.
Later on we did get BBC tv, and ALwyn Crawshaw was on.
❤
Thanks
Great Edo! Get more!
Thanks, when I have time! it takes a half hour to paint, then you have to set it in a movie app, after that uploading to you tube! it could take up to 3 hours!
@@EdoHannema-Watercolour-Art I know, thanks for sharing!
will you please let me know which watercolour and paper do u use for painting ?
I use Bockingford 200lb in this demo! Its paper from StCuthbertsmill. www.stcuthbertsmill.com/
Hoi Edo, heb je lange tijd gemist! vind het heel mooi! maar die laatse boom had niet gehoeven, ik vond het al mooi genoeg! groetjes, mandy
Dat is het nadeel als je een foto na schildert. Dan zit het al in je schets en ben je eigenlijk al te laat om op tijd te stoppen.
This is really nice, I love your work and your channel here on CZcams. May I ask what kind of palette you’re using here, just what I have been looking for 😊 Thank you so much 😊
Thank you very much George. It is The Holbein 1000. And I can tell you it is difficult to buy these days. Good luck finding one.
@@EdoHannema-Watercolour-Art thank you so much, looks rather impossible sadly 😊
@@georgepatrickbennett7412 you can look for an "aluminum watercolour palette" then you find a Heung palette. That is a copy from the Holbein. A bit weaker. But a lot cheaper. The real Holbein would do 300 euro I think.
@@EdoHannema-Watercolour-Art thank you, I’ll have a look at those 😊
When I studied with Ron, he used plastic picnic trays that he bought at the hardware store. I use a white school lunch tray which works great. There's also a white plastic Jasper tray sold by a lot of art suppliers such as Cheap Joe and Blick. They work well too.
Great, but is this technique only for landscapes?
Ron Ranson made only landscapes. But watercolour technique you can use in portraits to!
I once watched Ron do a large floral using just a #24 doing and a rigger. I've done florals with a hake and they are loose and fresh. Try it!
What colour are you using on the dark trees
It doesnt really matter what colour it is. Just make a dark shape. I really dont know anymore. probably cobalt blue and raw sienna and a bit of neutral tint. I painted this more then two years ago and I paint on intuition. so I mention colours, but I just paint how it thinks it looked good. its a better way then copy colours. just think dark against light and cool against warm.
This painting has no subject. It is just a mediocre watercolor and has no connection wthRon Ransom except for the brush.
No subject?? I think I watched more Ron Ranson movies than you. But please don't watch anymore if it disturbs you so much.
