  • I'm trying out a 100% cotton watercolor board from Crescent by doing this spontaneous landscape in a 3 color + neutral tint limited palette color scheme. Plus, I'm using the new Waffle Flower swatch stamps to create a color story card for recording color schemes that I like and might want to use again.

    Months later and this is still my favorite painting you’ve done. The color story is just gorgeous. The layout looks much better than most of the paintings I plan out. It’s just perfect I think. I love it so much.

    I couldn't have imagined the result in a million years. Amazing.

    @kerryk6472 Před 8 měsíci +1

    You are a freak’n genius! Lol. I had to just sit and watch in awe. I could not “see” the blobs you painted could amount to anything so beautiful. I hope someday I have the gift to see what you can see. ❤

    Wow ! All hail the blessed tree trunks. Nice job.

    @Roslyngal Před 5 lety +6

    Outstanding, Steve! I could watch an entire channel of just these. You pack so much information and advice into them. It’s a rare mind that can be free enough to paint in abstract spontaneity, while at the same time giving detailed analysis. Watching the foreground, middle and background appear all of a sudden from random blobs is magical! Thanks, more please.

  • @joannebindell2295

    This is my favorite painting and the colors are so subtle creating a soft relaxing picture.

    As you were putting in your washes and your water spray , letting it run and mingle , I got worried (for myself) I didn't see anything, but as soon as you put in your "sticks" it all became clear.....I have a LOT of practicing to do......devoted to do this type of painting when I start painting again......Thank you so much again!

  • @maryriley6163
    @maryriley6163 Před 5 lety +1

    Great limited color scheme. I like the misty look and the purple tree down front. It has an oriental feel. Thanks so much for this demonstration.

    @carolinewithers1647 Před rokem +1

    This is the first time I've watched one of your spontaneous paintings and my mind was moving in the same direction as yours. I was seeing the need for depth and the need to soften that stark white. I couldn't have imagined you'd make something from that mess at first, but it turned out great.

    Thank you so much for this video. Just returning from a week long workshop on loose uncontrolled?? Watercolour... I struggled with this concept... instructor said that tight painting was ‘old’ and too controlled, and very outdated 😢 I came home that evening and immediately looked for you on CZcams - and watched your video on “to paint loose or tight” - oh my my, that made me feel so much better about how I paint personally. You were the light in my dark day more than I could ever express!! As a ‘tight’ painter, I really wanted to try and loosen up some. I absolutely love this video, because it is very loose and spontaneous but still really beautiful. I will be trying this today. Thank you so much Steve. You are such an inspiration for me. HUGS

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  Před 5 lety +1

      Sheesh! Its like a religion with some of these people. Sad. In fact, representational art and realism has been on the rise in the last few decades. Not outdated at all.

  • @liliawebb9377
    @liliawebb9377 Před 5 lety +1

    There is a little bit of white paper showing through on the right between the distant treeline and land ---from here it looks like housing and with a couple of horizontal lines could add roof lines; just
    how it looks from sitting in my chair. I've seen this before but checking it out again. Seeing something new each time. Cool! Really great spontaneous painting Steve.

  • @grampajeff1

    Beautiful. It looks like a Scottish mountain view. The colours are very Scottish. Heather and pine and rusty gold.

    It looked like an ink blot to me until the tree trunks were added. Than voila, a forest appeared! I love this. I will try doing one. I even have these paint colors, except for Neutral Tint. I'll use Paynes.

  • @lesliesieler522
    @lesliesieler522 Před 4 lety +1

    WOW 😳, I just watch you develop a painting in amazement. I'm going to practice on some less expensive paper in smaller sizes. Also will purchase some of this watercolor board. Thanks for the review and tutorial. It's also nice to know that a seasoned artist like yourself, buys art supplies in local places. At reasonable prices.😃oh and I've seen that Waffle flower swatch used by a watercolor artist I follow, Lindsay Werich, The Frugal Crafter.

    As usual I sit and watch mesmerized as you take ??? To wow! Those soaring trees with the simple trunks are fantastic! Made me think of rural Ontario around Georgian Bay and the Group of Seven. Lost in the wilds! I want to try your triad too. I have been playing with more and more limited palette type approaches to paintings and learning a lot! Thank you! You are still my favourite channel! I learn so much from you and repeat your videos often. You are a great teacher! Please don’t ever leave! We all appreciate how hard you work to share all of this with us!

    Steve, fantastic job! The effect of adding the tree trunks was magical. Everything just came alive. I also think the color scheme was very pleasing. This is one of those paintings where you wish you could enter the scene and start exploring. Definitely makes me think of fall; my favorite season.
