In this large abstract watercolour I paint in a similar style to Lena Gemzoe. One of my subscribers asked if I would demonstrate a technique that sounded like hers. So here it is! A few simple colours and a butter soft container lid! No brushes were harmed in the production of this painting! It has beautiful hard edges and soft edges. I use a lot of wet in wet and the spray bottle. I mounted the full sheet of paper to mdf but the board could have been smaller to allow me to tilt it more easily.
The colours used were: lamp black, indigo, paynes grey, burnt sienna and raw sienna.
The paper was Rives BFK Arches etching paper
The brush was a cut out butter soft lid and a huge hake brush but you could use any large brush.
Any questions let me know. Hopefully I explained a few things that help with understanding that process.
Good luck! Let me know how you get on!
Thanks for watching!

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)

Loved the demonstration. The painting came out wonderful. I've already looked up Lena. She's amazing. I'm starting to do more abstract and love it. It's so fun and exhilarating. I love the lack of control in some ways. You never know what's going to happen when the paint and water move together. I'm excited to look up your other videos. On this video the music was beautiful but a little bit loud and I couldn't hear your voice sometimes. Thank you so much for this.

This technique is one that Karen Rice uses alot too! She is a fellow KZfaq Artist based in the UK. She always has a lot of fun with using cut up credit cards and she uses tree twigs and pallet knifes as well. She says it's fun to break the rules. And it more resembles oil painting than watercolor. She is fun to watch. This was a great outcome. Thanks for sharing your experience. I have done a little of it. It works really well for making a cityscape/ harbor with tall angular shapes and then a reflection on water.

Hi Joe, yes her painting style is pretty cool! I had seen it but never tried it!

In fact I think that type of paper would work better as it is not as soft and so would cope better with the volume of water. Good luck. 😀

thanks! I loved doing this painting as it will always be the first one I did in that style!

the music is too loud, it's very difficult to hear what you are saying. That being said, this is a wonderful technique

Hi Ulla, I know I’m sorry about that. I re-edited that video with a voice over. Have a watch of that! It will be better! Thanks for watching! I’m slowly learning how to make videos! 👍🙏

What paper do you use?
@ScottSwinson 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Nichola, I used rives bfk etching paper by arches but you could use watercolour paper like arches medium cold pressed 300gsm. Good luck! 👍

Many thanks for your reply. I just can't seem to achieve the fantastic visuals that you can in your tutorial, but then that may be down to your talent and not just my excuse of using poor quality paper. 😂

I think quality of paints and paper do play a part! I’m sure you have great talent! 👍

Thank you. Interesting. The music seems unnecessary- I can hardly hear your soft voice at times.

Thanks Jocelyn! Glad you liked it! Someone gave me similar feedback ages ago about this video and so I recorded a voice over. Here is the link. Happy painting! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jp2harVitLbem2g.html Cheers Scott

I would love to follow this but I can't hear what you're saying because the background music is so loud! You don't need background music when you are speaking.

Hi john, I’m sorry about that. I love too much the combination of music and painting and find it hard to separate the two! I will re-release this video without any music if you like? I can just edit it out then upload to KZfaq. I’ll let you know. But I could probably do that tonight. Thanks for watching. I have tried to not have any music when talking in my more recent videos due to similar feedback. 👍🥺

Hi John, this is trickier than I thought. My dialogue is joined with the music in the saved apple prores 422 file so it’s going to take me a few days to figure this out! Sorry thought I’d be able to do it quickly tonight and upload! Will let you know when I do. Cheers Scott.

Great painting but not sure why artists feel they have to have intrusive music that only drowns the voice over.

Thanks John or Jen! For me it’s because music and painting go together. They always have for me. This video was RE-recorded with a voice over that one of my subscribers requested in a polite way. The link is below. Cheers Scott

I would really Like to reduce my day job and gradually replace with painting but will have to think a bit more long term about that and keep serving you guys! Appreciate the honesty! 👍
