In this Simple Watercolour Landscape Painting Tutorial I paint a scene from Culburra Beach where we visited last weekend on a bit of a local break. It is a simple painting trying to capture the view. The sky is too light and blue but I had run out of the grey I would have normally used. It is really good to paint often on a small scale. It helps keep you in touch with the medium of watercolour and stops you being too attached to the outcome. I love painting large but it is good to do some quick studies this way. I painted this size for many, many years before painting on a larger scale.

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)
I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.

I really like this very much. You’re very easy to listen to and so helpful when it comes to evaluating your own work. Seascapes are my favorite, having lived on Guam as a child. The colors there of the Pacific are incredible because of the reef. , I love the simplicity. Hoping I can achieve something like his.

Hi Nancy! Wow you lived in Guam! That must have been amazing! Ocean everywhere! One of my friends lived on Kirabati with his Mum, Dad and sister for 2 years that would have been an amazing experience! They were both teachers! Yes I love seascapes too! It used to be mountains when I lived in the UK now its the ocean! I would love a studio that overlooked the ocean or the time to paint at sunrise or sunset as that immediate response to the light and landscape is what I crave! Happy painting! Cheers Scott

I do, I prefer to paint large and when I try to paint small my arm wants to swing and sweep the brush so it’s really hard! We are as well as can be expected here, my part of the country has very low rates of C19 at present, but that could change... thank goodness for art and nature eh? Take care and Happy Painting 😊🍷🍷

@ScottSwinson 3 жыл бұрын
Hi boo, it’s a good question. I think it’s because I brought the blue/grey mix in gently up to the yellow and didn’t keep brushing lots of times. That way they are more Kiel’s to stay separate. Hope you are doing ok in the Uk. I have friends and family over there. 👍🙏

@ScottSwinson 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Joe, Yes! That would have been funny to see it running off the page! I did that once in Wales in the UK and as I was painting snowdonia it started to snow and the snow flakes make snow flake marks on the painting! Pretty cool! I think I still have that original painting! Thanks for watching! I will do a bit of en plein air at some stage down the track! In fact that is my dream to paint on the coast as the sun rises over the ocean on a large scale while a drone films from above and I paint what presents itself. Maybe a while away from achieving that but "I have a dream" lol. 👍

Beautifully done seascape! I miss my ocean coming from Philippines and now here in Arizona which is a desert. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I sure learned a lot. What is that thing you used to create those white streaks on the water? Does it peel off the paper?
@ScottSwinson 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Jhuvy, thanks! Glad you enjoyed painting the ocean. It is nice to paint what you are familiar with but it is interesting for me. I paint what is in my immediate surroundings. When I was in the UK and Europe I loved painting mountains but now in Sydney there are essentially no mountains and so I am loving painting the ocean which is on my back doorstep. Have you painted the desert around you? would be pretty powerful! Thanks for watching. Cheers Scott
