Paint A Watercolour Stormy Sky & Avoid overworking, Wet in Wet Watercolor Seascape Painting Tutorial

Рет қаралды 27,112

www.patreon.com/loisdavidsonart www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OwlsAndFlowersArt In today's demo I share another one of my daily sky practices, a seascape focusing on the sky, trying to keep things really fresh ans expressive, and avoid overworking, in other words, hopefully knowing when to stop! Also, focusing on the idea that these sky practices don't have to be perfect, trying to create an impression of the mood and atmosphere you want to capture is more important than trying to keep things perfect. I use Saunders Waterford cold pressed paper, prussian blue, burnt umber, raw sienna and light red with hake and flat brushes and a small calligraphy brush, but please feel free to use whatever colours and brushes you like and are comfortable with if you try something similar.
My board is at an angle of about 45-60 degrees.
Many thanks to my lovely Patrons for your support!

As far as I am concerned, not only do you paint the best sky and seascapes on Utube, but you are the very best teacher too! Thank you for lifting me out of a Pandemic anxiety and starting me on my own joyous watercolour adventures 🙏

Dear Lois, I find more and more when I need inspiration or just want to share my time with an artist that inspires me, I turn to you. The softness and the honesty in your voice calm me and make me want to dive in and strive for the same excellence you share with us. Thank you and please continue to share. I think you have brought me to the edge of excellence I only used to dream of.

You have no idea how happy I am that you pronounced Hake Brush correctly. I'm enjoying your freestyle approach.

Thanks for this. It's interesting that you say 'exercise'. Something always drives me to finish what I start, and in trying to finish, I try for perfection. Of course, what I do is never perfect and so I feel frustrated. I have to work on my mindset. Having difficulty with landscapes or seascapes. So skies are important. Thanks you.

A beautiful skyscape, this is spectacular. I'm a big fan of Scott Swinson's atmospheric skyscape paintings - he loves the free flowing, slightly abstract style too. It's a wonderful technique that looks like it should be easy, but I've tried a few and they are not so easy as they seem. They are great fun to do anyway and learn about how the water, paint and paper behave with the more expressive large brush strokes.

In searching for loose watercolor artists on KZfaq, I am always drawn to your channel. Your style of painting is so unique and motivating, and you are so generous with explaining your technique. The results are always amazing. I hope to get good enough someday to be able to create something similar. Thanks so much for being an inspiration!

Amazing! I wonder how Michelangelo and other masters actually tipped and tilted the walls and ceilings to get a similar result🤣thank you, Lois, been watching your vids for some time and you definately belong to my favourite art guides on KZfaq. I love your passion, your explorations, your boldness and the paintings as well❤Saunders Waterford CP is my most beloved paper, but it tends to be quite hard to get at times here in the Czech Republic. Possible, though.

I am really enjoying your tutorials and love your loose impressionistic style. I notice you often seem to use student grade paint and brushes but always appear to use 100% cotton paper. Would you say quality paper is an essential element to get the effects in your wonderful paintings?

@LoisDavidsonArt 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, I’d be happy to use the cheapest paint and brushes as long as I had my decent quality cotton watercolour paper

@yakmueller 2 жыл бұрын

@@LoisDavidsonArt Thanks for the reply Lois, I have had a go at a couple of your tutorials and I have been pleased with the way they have turned out, even though I have been using 200lb bockingford or W&N cotman. I must invest in some better quality paper and see what difference it makes.
