Plein air watercolor painting on a pristine beach, with a warm breeze! This is my version of heaven!
Easy beginners level demonstration, with real-time commentary.
This area is called Burns Bay, which is near St Helens on the east coast of Tasmania, Australian.
The weather is warm and misty.

We have started a month-long holiday in Tasmania! We are travelling in our motorhome, and we plan to camp, paint and make videos as often as possible.
I have used a large flat brush from Reeves, called a spalter. (Not listed below because I cannot find them online.) I suggest you will find them in your local art shop.
I also use the Joseph Zbukvic Aquario mop: listed below.
The paper I am using is Arches Cold Pressed, 21cm x 41cm
My paints are Daniel Smith. Their names are listed below, and I have a video where I show how I fill the watercolour palette with tube paints:
