This was very helpful to me! Thank you! I have been painting for almost two years without formal lessons, but often still feel like a beginner. Your calm and unhurried approach broke down the stages for me and took the mystery out of how you arrived at the finished results. It helps that you did not have distracting music in the background and have a pleasant voice.

“It also test and reveals to me, what I don’t understand,” great words of our Master Artist 🙏🏾 🐐

So helpful for a beginner. Research to understand. Probably helpful to practice drawing rocks with shadows first. For me. Thank you.

Your rocky, faceted painting is beautiful. I learned a bunch while watching you paint this - twice, I watched it. Thank you! Happy Mother's Day to your wife!!! I hope she has a fabulous day!

Steve, I think I learn more from you than any other artist I follow. Your rock study reminded me of places I've been to in Arizona. I know making videos isn't easy, and I don't have the means to support you on Patreon, but I would be wrong not to acknowledge how much you bring to the art table. You fill the heart and mind. I am so grateful.

Love the verse!!!! God bless! And thank you for the tutorial! Learned a lot and may try copying what you’re doing here. Rocks look easy to do but not really!

From 8:00 to 9:00 I swear there is magic at work. There was paint and then suddenly there is a mountain. It's one thing to know how to put color down and to lift it off, but knowing where and how is another thing. Amazing!

@mindofwatercolor 9 ай бұрын

Thanks. The "magic" is just lots of observation and sketching to become familiar.

@marlenejones6266 3 жыл бұрын

The mountains make more sense now with using reference photos but not copying them but using what you see and keeping it in your mind. This is a very good painting to to show us how to achieve it. Thank you

Please, I only use Arches. I love it. However my adventurous mind is brooding on about Bockingford and Saunders. Twice bitten by Canso(shakes fist angerly) and Legion I have not wanted to blow $$ on something I am not going to use for anything but to warm my home. Born in the Caribbean I did not have many spots I could explore unless I went to another Island. The rents finally let me sail solo. So I went exploring. I didn't come home for 5 days. Calling the rents from some port or another. Still, though not a lot of exploring until we moved to the PNW. That was when I mapped out the 3 sisters of the cascades, jk, but close.

Awesome painting Steve. Your channel is at the top of my viewing list for learning how to use watercolor and not being overwhelmed or intimidated by it. All of your works of art just flow along with your comfortable voice and presentation . I look forward to being notified you've put up new piece, it's so calming to listen to you explain the steps you take to achieve your goal, and gives me more confidence. Thank you :)

Beautiful! Reminds me a bit of Roland Lee’s style. I always liked his dramatic negative painted skies too of Utah terrain. It makes me want to paint the mountains too. Thank you! I love exaggerating the saturation in areas of interest. Great artistic encouragement.

So interesting about getting to know a subject! I find that’s been a very important learning curve for me personally, aside from mastering techniques, colours, paper etc. Thank you - you teach us something important with each tutorial.

@JohnMonsterCanada 2 жыл бұрын

Nicely done Steve. Although this was a spontaneous exercise, You mention that a person should plan a painting of cliffs. I can’t find one where you do a more planned I ring of cliffs. Would you mind directing me to one where you “planned it out” or perhaps make a video where you teach us the planning to finished painting of a cliff side? Thanks for helping me on my journey.

Thanks a lot for the video!!! Being from a mountainous country i feel very passionate about rocks, but haven't dared trying drawing them yet as i have only very recently started to paint ( your channel being one of the inspirations ). Thanks again, love the soft mix of colors used for the front rocks and the final piece overall ❤

I love this! It reminds me of the Santa Fe Railroad travel posters from the 1930's. Have you ever thought of painting Ancient Ruins like Mesa Verde or Chaco Canyon? You'd love those, I think. I really like the little "blank" area in the lower right. I see a path or trail into that wilderness. Your scale with the small tree size and towering rock face is amazing! Thanks for sharing your work and your artistic philosophy.

I love this spontaneous painting. Did the initial wash start with yellow ochre and also burnt sienna? I'm curious what those colors are. It's amazing what beauty you created on that blank piece of paper!

@mindofwatercolor 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, similar. Quin. gold instead Yel. ochre. Some Diox purple also.
