Warning: viewer discretion advised!
This video contains scenes of a distinctly awful watercolour sky, and there is no excuse for how it turned out: I ignored my own often-repeated advice to leave a wash alone after the initial brush stroke, and well.....you can see the results. I apologise for my distinctly churlish remarks ( at least I managed not to swear!!) I;'m doubly annoyed as I didn't think the drawing was that bad, and I proceeded to ignore everything I've learnt.....oh well, worst things happen at sea, and it's only a piece of paper.
Hope you manage to ignore the horrible blue stuff and concentrate on the gorgeous greenery.
UPDATE: Since I uploaded this, I managed to rescue the sky, so I'll post a photo on my Instagram account.

No sky is ever perfect, that's why they're everchanging. You're an inspiration none the less.

Don't beat yourself up over that sky. Leaving the building white draws your the eye away from it. Love all the greens it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland for some reason

Nice job, John. If you have taught me one thing, it is to embrace imperfection! That’s where I find my inspiration and resilience to keep painting. Thanks so much for sharing your gifts.

That fan brush makes great pine trees. Various kinds.

You are my favorite artist on KZfaq, John. I have only been watching your videos for a few days now, but I want to say, they have inspired me so much recently that I feel full of ideas to get back to water color painting. I set the hobby down quite some time ago, but you have rekindled the flame. Thank you for your videos, I hope to see new ones soon.

Thank you so very much for your very very kind words: I’m so glad I’ve been able to help in a small way.

Nice to watch you paint again. Sorry you got thrown off track straight away but it happens. It happens to all of us. Carry on 😓💌

True that the sky is not your best ever, but maybe you could have added some clouds to cover for the mess? Anyways, lovely painting and great vid!

I feel your OCD pain! To be clear - your sky wasn’t anywhere near as offensive as you thought it was, but I do know how it feels to be straight off dissatisfied. ☺️

I really enjoyed this video - even if it was just one of those days when the sky does not come out right. Is there a way to save the painting when something like this happens? or is it better to start over?
