I didn't leave myself much time to record and edit the video for tonight. But that is sometimes a blessing as it stops you from being too precious about your painting and just go for it. Producing lovely free brush marks and a painting that you could never have produced if you thought about it and went about it in a detailed methodical way! I'm really happy with this seascape. We have so many storms at the moment on the coast that this is what I have been seeing everywhere at the moment!
I would just love it if you joined me on Patreon! The link is below!

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.

I learned so much from every time you were like, "oh sheeeeeeet" lol
I always learn the most when I hear that inflection in your voice. Seriously. It's. how to work with those moments that I do very much learn the most from.
AND .... I do like this one very much!
The light in the sky is so bright that I have to close my eyes. The water is so deep and dark and the horizon so sharp. This painting is much more better than any real foto. It is magic....
Thanks Guiza! It’s pretty cool! 👍👍
Nice to see a fast and simple painting again 🙂 I truly recommend Scott's Patreon, we get lots of help and new instructive videos!
Hi Emma! Thank you! 🙏🙏
Such an inspiration! Thank you!
I held my breath when the really dark went in. Then watched it all do wonderful things
Yes a pretty cool painting! 👍👍👍
Wow beautiful.
Lovely
This is gorgeous Scott!! Thanks for sharing with us….
Hi Linda! No worries! Had to paint quickly before I had to pick up my daughter from school! Lol
I love all your work, and the contrasts in this are stunning! Unique style!
Stunning as ever! Love the waves the most. The highlight on it levels up the spark of the painting. ✨
Thanks Parsley Mint! I love the waves too! They turned out well despite not trying too hard! 👍👍👍
WTF! those waves appeared !ike magic.
I put some bleed proof white in while I was drying it (any completely white bits) and then scratched out with the razor blade! I know though they actually look pretty good despite looking nothing like waves when I first put the cobalt turquoise on and the first application of the bleed proof white when it was still wet! 👍👍👍
Splendid, Scott. It's like brazilian beaches at night.
Thanks Dalva! I’ve not been to Brazil yet! One day!!! 👍😃🙏
Was a bit sceptical about the darkness of the water, against the light in the sky, and white clouds. Then you altered the water… and it came together ❤️
Looks a bit like ice floating in the water. Fabulous!!!
This is so lovely.
Wow that was amazing....and so fast !
You are so brave with your paintings. Love it!
Scott, this is stunning - I love it!
Thanks Branda! I like it too! 👍👍👍
Bloody fantastic as per usual Scott!
Thanks Helene! 👍👍👍
Good thing you posted this on Instagram, I would have missed it 🤘😀
Hi Socrates! Yes I don't always use instagram and facebook to let everyone know but I probably should!
Müthiş kontras değerlerin var Scott.Ellerine sağlık.
Just gorgeous Scott.
Thanks Elizabeth! 🙏
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! I'm looking forward to joining your patreon early next month.
Hi Jay! That would be really great! It is an amazing community and there are some great videos on there to really build a strong foundation in watercolour! See you there!
Thanks for the drying process once again 🙏🌊🔱🌪🌪🌪I have tried it in the past intuitively, I think I'm starting to understand a bit, I just need to get to it more often 🤣 hard thing water color love your paintings man and since a kid the style of it
HI Socrates! Yes the drying process is so important. If you don't and you keep dabbing and dabbing you loose the luminosity and the beautifulness of watercolour easily. A soft touch not too many times and drying are really important! I'm glad it helps to watch! Happy painting!
Top banana Scott, I love watching you paint mate.
Hi Michael! Thanks mate! I love painting so win win! 👍🍂
I like the idea of the bleed proof white for the waves. I am finding the bleed proof white useful for skyscapes.
That’s great Robert! It definitely bleeds when applied wet in wet! Just doesn’t when dry! 👍👍
Amazing. THANKYOU
No worries Karol! Thanks! 👍🙏
Absolutely beautiful Scott. ❤️. Xo
Hi Janice! Thank you! It did turn out pretty well in the end! Thanks for watching! 🙏🙏
superb, keep em comin)
Hi Scott!!!..... Beautiful
Thanks Begona! 👍🙏
That brilliant mate
Thanks Gaz! A bit of a different painting for me in some ways! But very similar in others!
Wonderful....🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Thanks Guiza! 👍👍🙏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good
Super
Thanks Luda!
Another beautiful piece Scott. As always your mastery of the light makes it so dramatic. How do you avoid the dreaded green sky? Even when I use the hair dryer I often get it. Gorgeous. Thank you!
I'm not Scott, but if you don't mind I will share some ways that might help. Don't let the blue and yellow touch. Dry the yellow before adding the blue. Use a transition color, like Opera pink, or neutral tint, that is safe with both yellow and blue, in between them, to prevent green. Anyway, hope that helps. Those are the things I do to prevent the green sky.
@@rosemaryclark610 Thank you Rosemary, I appreciate your generous reply!
Hi Louis, I was aiming for a very slight tendency towards green in this sky. I suppose there are a few things. The winsor yellow was quite weak in the initial wash then the cobalt blue and light red mix mostly went around the yellow then the mix of winsor blue (red shade) and light red mix was very strong so it was never going to be turned to green when that strong. Only where I used it more lightly was it a possibility. Also by spraying out then drying before adding the second layer of yellow I have the yellow something to attach to (some white paper). Hope that helps. 👍👍
Thanks Rosemary some good tips! 👍👍
@@ScottSwinson you are masterful with the spraying out for sure. Thank you Scott.
❤️😍❤️
Another love it!.....what is the name of your new favorite brush?......thanks!
Hi Kathy! Thanks! The favourite brush is a 2 inch Holbein Hake Brush! It is just gorgeous!
So good… so beautiful. Thank you. Scott- what are you using to scratch the tiny bits of light in at the end of your painting?
Hi Joy! It is a razor blade on its own. 👍👍
Would you sell this painting Scott?
Wonderful scene! The White you used is it gouache?
Thanks Mika! The white was PH Martin's Bleed Proof White. It is good because once it is dry it does not go everywhere as easily. It will still bleed when wet as you could see here!
What kind of white color do You use? The painting is fantastik!
Thanks! Oh Martin’s bleed proof white. 👍
Gorgeous! What is the sharp tool you are using alongside the hairdryer? I've used a big Stanley knife but it never looks like this and like it to as it looks fab. Great video ☺️
Hi pixel foggy princess! Cool name! I use a Stanley knife blade on its own as it gives me more control of the angle and hence the mark! 👍👍
@@ScottSwinson how does it work so well for you? How much pressure are you using? Does it work better when the paint is thicker in one area than another?
Anyway, looking forward to your next tutorial 😁 Don't know why you don't have more subscribers
What is the white surface you have on your table? Great quick painting! You make it look so easy.
Hi Mary! Thanks! It’s Aligloss sheet from bunnings..👍👍
@@ScottSwinson I’m in the states. What would I compare it to? Is it flexible? I work on my dining room table so I have to put it away if company comes over😜
does 3M magic tape to keep paper down after stretching
What type and weight of paper are you using? The paint isn’t flowing like it does on my 300lb paper.
What kind of white color do You use?
Winsor and Newton professional all the time. 👍
The white is ph Martin’s bleed proof white.
