Watching you and a Irish and English watercolor artist got me wanting to give it a try.Thanks

So amazed at how you transform that colorful blob into a very nice painting.

@margaretporzenheim961 6 жыл бұрын

You sure know how to make my day - this is awesome. I'm always afraid to be spontaneous because I don't have the intuitive vision to see what the result presents.

@iartistdotme 6 жыл бұрын

I feel like you are carving out the trees as a sculptor would carve out a figure. Think I learned a lot about your approach to painting these spontaneous works by seeing how the ink was used then refined with a little more color. So appreciate your sharing.

Steve, I really liked this video. I'm a traditional watercolor artist, you know... transparent pigments , no white , no black, etc. But one day I started playing around with the ink and wash or wash and ink. Loved it, not that I would give up my boooring traditional watercolor, but I'm now doing both.. So thanks for this video, you never disappoint.

@mindofwatercolor 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks Barbra! Yeah for the most part I'm a traditional watercolorist too. I started using line and wash more as an affective sketching technique when I started doing plein air journaling, but I love to do it for bigger works on occasion as a change of pace.

I know this is years old, but it's new to me, and I have to say these spontaneous pieces always leave me shaking my head! I watch the blotches of paint, speckles, and water, and each time I think "this one isn't going to come out as good as the other ones I saw." It does. It's gorgeous. The next thing I do will be a stab at a spontaneous landscape! Thanks for opening my eyes to this approach.

I call this intuitive painting, and it's my favorite way to paint. I am drawing and sketching, but I love to mix up palettes and when finished, see what I can "carve out of it" with ink or gouache even. Great video. Beautiful painting and a good look at how M. Graham behaves. I will likely buy a set for myself-maybe at Christmas, haha! I have a lot of watercolors to use up for a long long time!!! I do have M Graham Tit. White Gouache. It's pretty good!

And this is exactly what led me to your channel, kept me coming back, and continues to inspire and sincerely amaze me. A skill like this takes many years, a lot of practice, and the intuition of a war horse to successfully pull off. I have a different method, which is so rudimentary in comparison, yet still effective for my needs. My mistake, for years, was not painting on an angle to let the water collect. That you mention Bob Ross is kind of funny, as to me, you're the BR of watercolor. lol! Great demonstration and really appreciate the narrative along with it. For new subscribers, this is gold. Pure gold. Thank you, Steve! :)

@mindofwatercolor 6 жыл бұрын

What a awesomely generous comment Mark! Thanks my friend, made my day! Yes, well rudimentary approaches are often deceiving in their simplicity. Reducing something to its essentials and maintaining strong visual elements is so much tougher than people realize as I communicated in my post on your recent video. Bob Ross is such an interesting icon isn't he? He was loved by so many who weren't even artists but who loved his demeanor. His techniques and style were nothing without that. I always hoped that if nothing else, I could connect, even a fraction as well, with my viewers on a personal level while still being myself. Not being able to do that was my greatest fear going into this KZfaq thing. Anyway, thanks for the amazing vote of confidence.

Man....I love how "easy" u not only make it look but show us it is! I'm sure that it takes skill an knowledge to make some this nice, but the idea that almost anyone can make something similar to this that looks great is just inspiring! I'm just getting into watercolor, purchased a Cottman set and a masters touch half pan set that had a few more colors and I'm pretty happy with the bbn performance so far..... now i wouldn't expect anything i make to last....but at this point, i dont think i want anything to last lol. So much fun. I've always had a love for ink, i could just slowly color a whole page black with a good pen lol. But adding g watercolor over top or after.....now my true love can play too!?! I'm in

Thank you so much for this - I'm definitely going to try - I really like pen & wash but never quite know the best way. I love the way watercolour does it's own thing but it doesn't really work to it's best ability when trying to paint a scene. Love the idea of just letting it do it's own thing then making something out of it. I live in North Yorkshire, England.
