    5 years ago i started watercolor painting and the first channel i subcribe was yours …. I learn so much I used to paint almost every day and I got better and better each time. Unfortunately I gone through a bad depression and I stop drawing and paint and do all those things that I love but i’m here again trying to learn what I used to know already but for some reason, I forgot everything I learned and one more time I’m on your channel again thank you so much for making my days better

    What I appreciate is your constant emphasis on having fun …. Most of us will not be in the gallery, but all of us can enjoy painting

    • @bl9531

      I saw a quote from Andy Warhol that goes like this: just paint, leave it to others to decide if it’s any good, and while they are making up their minds, paint some more

    @holly-anne680 Před 7 měsíci +6

    LOL no matter how often you tell us that you don't plan this......I know for a fact that after your first laying in of color you "wiggle" your nose and create a masterpiece.........I had to look at this one again.......and will most likely watch this "magic" again....thank you so much!

    Your channel is the only one I keep comming back to. I started watercolor painting about a year ago. After a while I got frustrated and stopped. I felt like I couldnt improve and I had no ideas either. I didnt know the technics you need to get the hang of it and I also was very impatient. I found your channel amongst many others and I had this WOW experience about spontanious painting. I took out my brushes and started. You made me paint almost every day now, even late at night after a long and hard day of work, just by the inspiration you give me. My pictures dont look like yours of course but I am pleased with the learning results. I get to know the pigments and what they do, depending on how I use them. I want to say thank you for sharing your knowledge and your exerience and letting me learn.... Dankeschön from Germany!!!

    No matter how many times I've watched you do this, it's still remarkable to me how beautiful the works come out. I've tried it a couple of times, and blew it totally. You said something in this one that struck me. I don't think I'm looking at them long enough, or been as patient as I need to be. Also, I really appreciated it when you in one of your posts "Embrace your failures," I found that hugely useful. Thanks a lot Steve.

    • @laZOETje
      @laZOETje Před 11 měsíci

      Yes, I really like this after two… I think I overworked the second and my sketcbook paper doesn’tmake the thready runs. But I like looking at the second one and coming back to it, kind of doodling patiently. But yes, learning and experimenting.

    I watched a couple videos…. Thought hmmm I think I can…. My first try was less than I hoped, my paper is very warped from water… but I will try again. You are a great teacher! Thank you for the tutorials.

    I love the teal leaning tree with the suggestion of straight trees in the background. My eyes can’t leave that point. I need to remember that not all trees grow straight. Thank you.

  • @loissemanek1715

    My favorite in fact the only kind of water color I have I test in. I watch your channel and enjoy it because it’s a medium I know nothing about.

    I just ran across this video. I’ve been dry for months and the longer I don’t pick up a brush, the heavier it gets. You have inspired me today. I’m going to pick up my 20lb brush and go.

  • @sharonmcmann-morelli4896

    so nice. i took a wet on wet workshop it was a total disaster the instructor had us wet the paper, spray it and drop paint all over, it was so horrible, your style is so much better it makes me see what is occuring and why, but still so magical!

  • @mariannt6612

    Aww! "Visual library"
    I was looking for something similar for so long, in my mind, to phrase it.
    I don't like to google up images to have a reference (until it is neccessary for details, colours (animals for example)).
    A visual library. Thank you!

  • @char2556

  • @paulah317
    @paulah317 Před rokem +14

    This is so inspiring that I got up and got my paper masked. A lightbulb went off in my head when you mentioned putting in the details and looking at areas of contrast to help guide the finishing process. The powers of observation is key. Can't wait to get my painting started.

  • @Britgirl58
    @Britgirl58 Před rokem +1

    Whilst I enjoy your videos and know you are a generous artist and tutor, I found that (as a beginner) I am nervous about this type of painting. Although I am fairly new to water coloring of any kind, I thought that, at least, the first part of this painting could be managed. But then you continued with such a fine brush I knew I wouldn't be able to paint like that. I wonder if you have any videos where you start like this, but then do more loose follow-up with fewer tiny brushes and fine detail - at least to start. Your painting is beautiful, and I am under no illusions that I can complete a painting anything like this one, but I would like to try, and not be discouraged from the start. Thank you

    I came here to find your video on doing Backgrounds w/ w.c. pencils and WOW! I got hypnotized by this video. Thanks Steve for proving we should never give up on possible magic. I thought you were finished at 14:00 when it looked gorgeous, but then you went on to define the rocks and trees that I didn't see and the magic started. It was wonderful & inspirational to watch. Again, thank you Steve for sharing your gift.

    Wow, I am definitely pretty pleased with what you did too! I could see almost exactly what you painted with the details when you were talking about how your process of looking at the results of the the paint doing most of the work. I really love how your spontaneous painting turns out to what I think are stunning landscapes. This was tons of fun to watch. I have yet to try to do spontaneous painting but this has really made me want to try it. Thanks for sharing this with us and hope you’re enjoying a great weekend!

    @rmuller366 Před rokem +2

    Thank you Steve! I’m experimenting with these more and more. I love the process. It gets better as one does them more. One other thing I’d suggest is working on them small to start with, for example doing bookmarks. Working small helps me to focus better on the details. Spontaneous painting is truly magical. One of many things I absolutely love about watercolor. It’s the most rewarding medium ever. Blessings to you and everyone!

    Videos take so much time to produce, so thank you for your generosity in making them. I have often looked at watercolours and wondered how on earth artists manage to get such incredible results. This video helps to de-mystify it while also showing some incredible observational and technical skills for us to learn from. Thank you so much! I really enjoyed it. Made me feel like I was looking at a story book!
