This has inspired me so much. It's that got the organic random-ness that I am always seeking so I can make pictures by seeing things within these random, organic colours. Love this! Thank you!
i saw this video recently-ish and decided to buy some antelope brown ink. i am not a brown fan but i am so pleased with this colour! i love how it separates and comes alive. thanks to you i now add, a bit, of brown to my paintings. love your landscapes and appreciate your videos!
I signed up for this course. I am so excited to work with acrylic ink, have been experimenting and I like it too. I won't getting bored this summer, thank you Jean.
Beautiful watercolours. I am an oil painter ... doing realistic artwork. But very interested in trying abstract watercolours ... definitely going to try this method of applying acrylic inks. Love the results
Jean, I love your work. You have helped me to loosen up using your videos. Thank you!!! I have bought three of your videos & they have really helped. Just purchased your new one & can't wait to get going....
I signed up, too and couldn't be more excited. I've learned so much from your video sharings that I just knew this course would be awesome. :-) Thanks so much.
Very exciting, travelling at the moment but will arrange a course once I return home and get settled. I have been really inspired by your tutorials and want to combine this type of work with my other passion....soft pastels.
Your work is stunning. It's exciting and I love it so much. I’ve been trying to learn watercolours and subscribed to a few artist’s you tube channels, including yours, quite awhile ago. but somehow I must not have watched any until yesterday, when thankfully I did click on one of yours. I was instantly hooked! I began binge-watching (some more than once) for hours. I didn’t get to bed until 3 a.m. and I'm back again this morning with my coffee!! After many years of working with tightly controlled, carefully measured, mostly black & white graphic design, I am desperate to "loosen up" as well as learn about colour. So far I haven’t produced anything even slightly remarkable, and now that we're getting ready to kiss summer goodbye (Canada) I've been wondering if I should reclaim my kitchen table and pack up my many tubes of too many colours that I don't know what to do with (you know :). Luckily I didn't, and yesterday while watching your videos I had a lightbulb moment..... Now I understand why I love the hundreds of paper bits (and sometimes full sheets) that I've been using to test different colours on for the past year or so. I've been so busy following tutorials when all along, the action has been taking place on all those careless scraps!!! Who knew? Well, you did, lol. I can't tell you how many times I've dragged a little puddle of Prussian Blue into Burnt Sienna, or Sap Green's tendrils creeping into Quinacridone Rose, for example. It's hilarious to me that I've been staring at all those beautiful swatches of colours loosely running into and over each other for well over a year wondering how I could translate that freshness and spontaneity into my paintings!! So funny to see I was going in the right direction and didn't even know it. Thank you SOOO much. Edit: I am mortified that I unexpectedly launched into a short dissertation on my health. Bizarre, and I'm not sure why I did, but I've edited my comment to remove it.
Hi Debra. I'm delighted my videos had such a positive reaction for you. And pleased to hear you are well. Painting is good for the soul. I lose all sense of time when working on my watercolors. Have fun and keep well.
@@JeanLurssen Thank you, Jean. I've just now been looking at your wonderful classes. The prices are so reasonable. I'm just trying to decide which one first. Ha! what a problem to have... they're all beautiful... kind of feels like Christmas Eve! I think I'm gonna start with the Abstract Landscapes. And it's wonderful that we get to access the classes forever.
Loved the mixing of the media. I wonder if when the edges of the top eventually dry will the colors have travelled a little into the area? Will have to give this a try
Someone else asked my ? re paper used. I'm reposting your reply for others: "I mostly use 140lb Arches hot pressed paper but I always tell students to use the paper of their choice. And cold pressed paper will also work. For cold pressed I use 140lb Saunders Waterford paper."
I like this very much. What paper did you use, hot press? and was the first ink you applied sepia? Always enjoy your videos and have tried some of your methods but I'm using the wrong paper I'm sure.
Hi Jo. I nearly always use Arches hot pressed paper. It just suits my style of painting but other papers should work too. The ink color was antelope brown.

Hi Sharon. There is a pdf list of materials at the beginning of the first warmup exercise but you can really use whatever colors you have. The only thing you may not have are the acrylic inks which are on the list.
I think it would be helpful, Jean, if you could say what watercolour paper you are using, in particular the weight, as I do not see it buckling/cockling. I've started using 400lb recently.
Point taken Valerie. I usually list the paper with the other materials below the video. I noticed in this one I didn't do that. I used hot pressed 140lb Arches paper.
@@JeanLurssen Thank you. :) I have Arches cold pressed 400lb. I got so fed up of stretching paper, I took the lazy route. I really enjoyed your demonstration.
I mostly use 140lb Arches hot pressed paper but I always tell students to use the paper of their choice. And cold pressed paper will also work. For cold pressed I use 140lb Saunders Waterford paper. Hope this helps.
Hi Jean, I just tried to make this and I wanna thank you for inspiring me. Of course, it looks nothing like yours , I will post it with the hashtag #jeanlursseninspired , if that is ok with you .
This is great stuff! Gives me some courage to try myself!
I love to watch this video over and over. Such great fun!
This has inspired me so much. It's that got the organic random-ness that I am always seeking so I can make pictures by seeing things within these random, organic colours.
Love this! Thank you!
I find your tutorials some of the easiest to follow and learn. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Louise. I will try to post every two weeks from now on.
Beautiful and inspiring! Thanks🤍
This was a stunning technique! Thanks so much for sharing. 🌻
Beautiful! I love the idea of using these abstract techniques for backgrounds in my portraits.
Beautiful! I am finally able to do "loose" watercolor with your method, thanks Jean!
That's great Karen. Glad to know the tutorials have helped.

Thanks so much Lynne. Hope you enjoy the course.
You are amazing
I LOVE THIS! I want to enroll in the course!!

Depends on how much water. ink and paint is on the paper. It can travel as it is drying.
Jean Lurssen I was thinking about this specific one in the video
very nice
Thanks
like! Great work, very good alternative, very good video, L S
nice
very interesting, thank you
Your picture is very good ~♡
Where is your brush from? It looks amazing. And your art is so incredibly beautiful. Love it.
This is beautiful!
Thank you Karen.
I couldn’t find the link to sign up for the course.
Hi Linda. It's right beneath the video. It's the first link. Let me know if you have any problem with it.
Thank you! Can you share what brand you use on watercolor?
HI April. I use both Daniel Smith and Winsor & Newton watercolors.
Someone else asked my ? re paper used. I'm reposting your reply for others: "I mostly use 140lb Arches hot pressed paper but I always tell students to use the paper of their choice. And cold pressed paper will also work. For cold pressed I use 140lb Saunders Waterford paper."

Hi Sharon. There is a pdf list of materials at the beginning of the first warmup exercise but you can really use whatever colors you have. The only thing you may not have are the acrylic inks which are on the list.
What do you mean by acrylic ink? Never heard of this. Please describe.
Jean, i cant see any new ones, are you still on utube?
Lovely, can you use PHMaryin India ink instead of acrylic ink?
If it's black India ink it may be a little too dark.
Jean Lurssen Thank you
Which paper are you use?
I think it would be helpful, Jean, if you could say what watercolour paper you are using, in particular the weight, as I do not see it buckling/cockling. I've started using 400lb recently.

@@JeanLurssen Thank you. :) I have Arches cold pressed 400lb. I got so fed up of stretching paper, I took the lazy route. I really enjoyed your demonstration.
Hello Jean... what is the white paint that you spattered ? Is it watercolor, gouache or acrylics ink?
I used acrylic ink. I listed the materials used with links below the video. Just click on "show more."
Jean, if you don’t mind my asking, what weight and type of paper do you recommend us using for finished paintings in your course?
I mostly use 140lb Arches hot pressed paper but I always tell students to use the paper of their choice. And cold pressed paper will also work. For cold pressed I use 140lb Saunders Waterford paper. Hope this helps.
What kind of paper do you use?
gorgeous but why acrylic ink? can you get a similar effect with just watercolor?
White watercolor or gouache would not have the same effect. I like using mixed media on occassion.
Jean, What acrylic ink do you use?
The ink i used here is by Daler Rowney but I also use Liquitex inks which are more transparent.
Hi Jean, I just tried to make this and I wanna thank you for inspiring me. Of course, it looks nothing like yours , I will post it with the hashtag #jeanlursseninspired , if that is ok with you .
I'm honored for the hashtag, thanks. Keep painting and practicing.
@@JeanLurssen thank you !!!
Darn, I don't have acrylic inks
