/ 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.

For me you are the best on KZfaq for soft and wet watercoloring style. It looks like an Himalayan dream Greetings from France 🇫🇷

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!

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

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 ♥️✨

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!

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.
