Watercolor Folk Art Landscape using Warm Colors

Рет қаралды 23,082

Limiting your palette to only warm colors can create beautiful pieces full of warmth and energy. THis is a great watercolor exercise for beginners. I use Reds, Browns, Yellows and Oranges in the is folk art inspired landscape. Don't forget the Dr. Ph. Martins bleed proof white (which I am in short supply). Follow along with me as you limit your palette but stretch your imagination and color sense.

I just love this one. And I really like the way you tell the story while your painting, but interject technical points that educate as well. I'm 65 and have done maybe 3 different art projects in my life, and those were in middle and high school. My brain is very hardwired for logic and things that make sense, but I am more attracted visually to loose, whimsical, and colorful if that makes sense. The challenge at this stage of the game is how to allow my brain to blend and soften my approach to art. Like you mentioned before letting go of control...it's very difficult for me, yet it's the only thing that produces what I like. I should have started painting decades ago, it would have saved me alot of money in therapy lol! 😂 Thank you, I just love the vibe of your channel and art. ❤

Thanks for the tutorial. Just to say that both trees in the background should be a lot smaller and in proportion with the barn.

@shanacirce2667 11 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching! Yes, you are absolutely correct! In a traditional landscape where you are trying to communicate distance and depth with realistic proportions your trees in the background should be smaller than the barn. But in a fanciful and whimsical illustrative piece, you can definitely play with size and spacing and break the rules 😜

@jeanettecook1088 Жыл бұрын

Very nice... the horizontal lines you refer to on the fences are called rails. The ones perpendicular to the ground are posts. I only know this because I build pasture fences! 🌄

Not good at drawing but tried lil sketching along w you (while writing down colors)! Do you have videos on making your drawing (using the rule of thirds) but it was confusing to me. After seeing your pictures see how your barn is to the right (and smaller) & when you paint do you (in your mind) or see the 9 grid lines?

@shanacirce2667 Жыл бұрын

Hi there. Great questions. Just remember using the rule of thirds is a guideline but not a strict rule. But compositions that are rooted in the rule of thirds do feel comfortable and balanced when you look at them. Since I’ve been at this for some time, I tend to naturally compose images that way, without thinking too much about it. You will too with time. I’ll see if can do a video on it in the near future.

@maryannpageau3448 Жыл бұрын

I just discovered your channel and love your style of explaining what you are doing and why you are doing it. I am fairly new to water color painting and I have a question. I am curious about your perspective in this painting. In my inexperienced brain, should the trees in the background be so large? They seem quite large in comparison to the barn as they are farther away. I am sure I am looking at it in a very elementary way, but would love your feedback. I love your style and look forward to watching more of your videos.

@shanacirce2667 Жыл бұрын

Great question. The answer is…it depends. If you are creating a piece that is rooted in realism and you wanted to paint a landscape landscape with depth and communicating distance, then, yes, you are absolutely right. 😀 Objects in the distance should be smaller and also generally less vibrant. But in this piece the only mechanism I was using to communicate distance is the position of objects (higher on the page = further away). This creates a more whimsical perspective where all my objects don’t have to follow the rules of perspective. The best part about learning the rules of realism is that you can break them to communicate something different to the viewer. I hope this makes sense.

Although I love your painting, I wonder: can you justify killing a beautiful animal like a squirrel to build the Black velvet brush you paint with ? synthetic b rushes work just as well, and in any case I can't imagine killing an animal for painting. Apart from that, all your tutorials are very intriguing.
