This is a lovely photo from Cronulla! Beautiful morning light! I hope you enjoy this demonstration where I keep it quite simple and don't do too much. I don't have any tissues so that was an interesting exercise for me to paint like that! Hope you enjoy this watercolour landscape painting. Happy painting!

Fabulous, amazing how framing really makes it.

@lauriecrosby2906 Жыл бұрын

I really love your ability to use watercolor pigments as you wish...clearly you have put in the brush miles and understand how watercolor pigments behave as well as the ratio of water to pigment. No small feat. Thanks for your wonderful demos. You make it look so easy , yet the reality in practice, not so much... I wish someone would have told me 5 years ago that this will take a lifetime to understand, much less master.

Standing back from the painting just highlighted for me the way you focus on shapes, Scott. I love this piece. Thank you. (I hope your tissue shortage is short-lived.)

@ScottSwinson 2 жыл бұрын

Yes the thing you don't get when viewing on youtube is any sense of what it will look like from a distance. I agree. From a distance your brain fills in the detail created by the shapes.

I really like the loose approach to painting a scene. I definitely will attempt soon. We use similar brushes. And I like mixing on your flat table.

@maryowensbythompson8096 2 жыл бұрын

Scott, I really like this. In the foreground where you used the towel, I see a suggestion of a figure to the left of some structure (perhaps a dock or a boat?). Overall, the composition is nice. I might have put the suggestion of some small buildings along the land mass, but I like the way you did it just as well. Thanks for the inspiration! I’m in Missouri (USA) where we’re also enduring a miserable heat wave.

Hi Mary! Yes it is amazing what your brain can create out of not much! Good luck taking a painting like this to where ever you would like! Hope you are keeping cool Mary! Cheers Scott

I know how hard it can be without something one's used to. Another suggestion is kitchen tissue paper (here we call it scott towel.....hey! It's your name!)

Hi Scott, I absolutely love your paintings. Wondering why you don’t use a thirsty brush to lift with instead of or in addition to the tissues?

@Bringidon 2 жыл бұрын

no need to ask what a thirsty brush does :)

@ScottSwinson 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Mimi! Yes I do lift with a thirsty brush quite often but I was looking to create sharp edges and I would normally use a tissue for that. Another better idea than a towel though!!!!! thanks!

@cinhill22 2 жыл бұрын

A question, why do you use Rives paper, instead of just regular watercolor paper? Or is this the same as watercolor paper? Love your techniques and absolutely beautiful paintings, going thru and watching all of your videos, if mine come out a quarter of what you do, I will be happy, will have to keep on trying... thanks for doing these videos!!!

I use toilet paper with some work Scott. Bit cheaper and usually available. Is it the old Australian Covid wave measure? How available are tissues and toilet paper. Lol. Gorgeous work considering you were handicapped by your lack of tissues.

I have sometimes resorted to using toilet paper when I can’t get hold of my box of lotion free tissues. Would that have worked for you Scott?

What kind tape you are using for the horizon

@ScottSwinson 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Celcilia! It is written in the description. 3M magic tape then used the hair dryer to heat up the adhesive to remove it without tearing the paper.

Hey Scott, how much water is there in those bowls?

@ScottSwinson 2 жыл бұрын

Not much. I generally mix a pretty strong mix for most of my watercolours and then dilute as needed. I did a video on mixing paints have a look in the channel. Cheers Scott
