  • / loisdavidsonart www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OwlsAndF... In this video I'm experimenting with a limited palette and using wax resist and cling film/plastic food wrap to try to create the texture of mountains. The wax resist didn't have much effect, but the cling wrap worked beautifully! Give it a try, you may be surprised at your results!
    Materials: Saunders Waterford cold pressed NOT paper, 11" x 15"/28cm x 38cm, paynes grey, sepia, lamp black, some raw and burnt sienna may have already been on the messy palette, but not important. I tried drawing onto the paper with a candle for wax resist, but this didn't really show in the final result. I used various brushes including hakes, flats, riggers, calligraphy brushes, and some plastic cling film/food wrap.

    It kooks great with the clingfilm texture and minimal colour palette

    For me you are the best on CZcams for soft and wet watercoloring style.

    I wanna cry. This is so beautiful. One thing: the sound of the wind in the video gave me a crazy unrealistic vibe. I'll use your technique, thank you from Brazil!

    When you pulled off the plastic, the painting made me think of The Great Wave. The effects are interesting and I will try to see if I can create foamy waves with it.
    Your work and techniques are inspirational as always. Your teaching style is a joy to follow and I’m happy with the end results of my pieces when I paint with you. Thank you so much for sharing your creative process with the world ♥️✨

    The outcome is quite sophisticated and has elevated my idea of what can be done with cling wrap. I really appreciate your narration.

    I am amazed at the effects which the cling film made. I just would never have thought about using it ! Thank you for this.

    I had reasonably good results using the Horadam supergranulating paint; it really goes very well with the cling film technique.

    A mesmerising tutorial for a beginner of watercolour painting. Watching the mountains appear was like magic and the use of the cling film added such a natural texture to the rock. Thankyou and I very much look forward to more!

    I had a go today and made it a night time as sky was very dark. No where near as good as yours Lois - but I would be a bit lost without your tuition on here. Thank you - my mental health is much improved by your guiding hand and gentle voice! ❤

    @MickyBrownEye1 Před 3 lety +3

    My first acrylic effort didn't go well. Most of the tubes of paint I had inherited were dry and hard (old), so I'm now the proud owner of an unfinished 'masterpiece' haha. But this lovely tutorial has re-inspired me to return to watercolours which I love. Thanks again Lois.
