Tonights video takes a few twists and turns to end up with the finished painting. I start with the sky and then do a card swipe land mass but then I turn it upside down and like it more this way. Let me know what you think.

At first I laughed, because the beginning is what I would have done. I could see myself and feel my frustration. My second thought was "wait and see", you pulled it out and I just love it! Thank you Scott. Not just an art lesson, but life lesson. Never give up.

Hi Louis! Yes I think it was a success in the end but it is a pretty bleak painting and you have to work hard to obtain dark darks with watercolour on that sort of scale! Glad you liked it! Thanks.

I love watching your process. I must say I loved the look when you added the darker pigments to the bottom but before you blended it. It looked so crisp. I learn a lot from watching you.

Hi Scott! I found your channel just a week ago and right away I fell in love for your loose style. You told somehere in your videos for beginners, how it could be scary to start with large paper. You are so right! Already for some years I have painted natural looking flowers, Mediterranean seascapes, houses etc. in "line and wash" in very small scale. Recently I have tried to find someone to teach me how to relax and let the warercolors show me the way how to enjoy painting without trying to do corrections too much. Thank you for your channel and your way of teaching! It looks like I will stay in A5 still for some time. 😄 Greetings from Finland!

Thanks Scott always worth a watch 😉 l make a few train crashes l must say, but you can always find something to do with them. I sometimes tear them up and make collages with them 😁 This as always turned out great, loved the sunlight on the horizon, and the dramatic darks. Take care Alioban x

I was looking forward to your next painting. This light at the horizon ...wow...it is amazing. When you started to put the dark colour at the bottom I first thought..oh no i´ts ruined now. Yeah I cried....but then you scratched with the razorblade and sprayed it lighter so a wonderful background was there. The last black colour that you sprayed towards the sky, would have not be necessary in my eyes. I liked the blue and dark orange which was rising up in the sky. I would have stopped there. Anyway its such a beautiful light at the horizon.

@junemackenzie4205 2 жыл бұрын

Enjoyed this, so encouraging to keep going when your believe it’s ruined. I’d have given up. Question….what happens to the thick residue of watercolour paint? Will it crack when completely dry?

@ScottSwinson 2 жыл бұрын

Hi June! Yes good question! Yes it does crack if on too thickly! What I try and do while it is still wet is remove any of the large amount of excess! It also dries more dull. The other thing I have been contemplating with these style of paintings is a number of layers of spray varnish once it has dried. That would protect it, enhance the depth of colour and make any dull areas actually come alive and would mean I can handle them with a little less care. I have not done this yet but it has been at the back of my mind for a while.....

您的畫都很有創意..👍只是顏料用很多啊..😅.呵呵呵呵，是我的話會捨不得...因為顏料不便宜呢..😊（台灣買都是進口的，一種顏色都要220以上，貴一些的要320以上...像老師這樣使用大量，我猜一條顏料幾次就用完了喲..😂.）

@helgaleifsdottir5191 2 жыл бұрын

Scott, I like your style. But you have to use big amount of watercolor paint for your artwork. I wish I had a lot of professional watercolors. There are like 2 art supplies shops in Iceland. It is costs a lot to buy from online Art Supplies shop in Europe and the US and Amazon. The shipping rate is high, Amazon has the far highest shipping cost. Thank you for sharing your beautiful artwork. xxxx

Now you know I usually love your paintings but I have watched this video 3 times now to see if it will grow on me but I have to say that I am still crying!! It appears that I am in the minority but I find it too oppressive. I was liking it until the black went on the bottom section but then you lost me. Would I hang it on my wall?... I have to say no, sorry.

Hi Pamela! It is really cool to see peoples responses and there has been another person who really didn’t like it either! Maybe a strong response either way is a good thing! Better than no response or a small response! Thanks for your honest feedback! Much appreciated! 👍👍

Hi Bill! I hear you! I know what you mean. I am considering cropping in on the subject. I will need to look at it for a while and from a distance and framed so I can decide if anything needs to be done in terms of cropping, more painting etc. I always like honest feedback! Thanks!
