In this painting lesson I show you how I use squirrel mop brushes to create loose, impressionistic watercolour skies, similar in style to Edward Wesson.

So nice. Starts off so simply, then soon evokes all the possibilities of the clouds, grasses, sand, waves and real folk.

Wonderful…such a great teacher. So often artists just rip through their work for us forgetting we haven’t a clue…you are the best, C❣️

Another superb demo, Christopher. Your gentle, subtle approach to this type of landscape gives it such a beautiful finish. The way you did the figures was very cool indeed. Your style in this painting, reminds me of Edward Wesson.

I liked this exercise even if the final result is far from equaling that of Mr. Christopher but I was won over by the sky and the characters who give life to this whole. A big thank you to the artist.

Sorry, but you wet the page...but then there were lots of white (dry) bits left that did not connect with the paint you applied? I am a little confused....there again, I am a novice. ha ha

@ChrisStephenArt 4 күн бұрын

@@101curlywurly I didn’t soak the page before applying paint. It was just a light spray with the mist bottle.

Your brushes will be ruined if you leave them sitting in your water jar.. esp the kolinsky that is an expensive brush!

@ChrisStephenArt 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for your concern, but this painting only took 15 minutes. As soon as I was finished, I cleaned the brushes, re-shaped them and laid them flat.

I mix my own greys, usually with leftover paint on the palette.

Hi Christopher! Nice tutorial, thank you! But can I give one suggestion? Please, PLEASE do not use music, although very nice and supposedly "soothing", but absolutely unnecessary and distracting. Do we really need to sugar-coat the reality nowadays when there is an awful amount of sound pollution everywhere we turn? Quitness is a food for the soul, do we all agree...

@ChrisStephenArt 3 ай бұрын

Hi Marina. I’m glad you like the tutorial and sorry you don’t like the music, however, it isn’t there just to be “soothing” as you say, and I’m certainly not attempting to sugarcoat anything at all. I live in a town, with neighbours and cars, aeroplanes, dogs, etc… So, the music is my way of cancelling out the background noise. I spend lots of time editing the sound on these videos to eliminate actual sound pollution, and the music covers what I can’t remove. Hope that makes sense.
