I know the sponge effect is great for creating trees. What about if you don't want a white background, and instead want skies or sunset?

@ChrisStephenArt Сағат бұрын

@@Rockymtnbloom You can put in any colour wash for a sky, dry it and then add the trees over the top. 😊

I use this technique you should try rotating the sponge to avoid repeating patterns. The tree on the right on the left side of that tree has 4 branches with leaves that look almost exactly the same. You just wouldn’t see that in nature. Otherwise excellent work.

Christopher I started watercoloring almost a year ago and I'm really enjoying it. I'm amazed at how easy it is to paint and teach. Congratulations

That is so effective. I have tried this with acrylics and feel inspired to try with watercolour now! Thank you.

@@sgv323 Thanks so much. I really do recommend the advantages of experimentation, anything that can make an interesting mark, can be used as a “brush”.

Sorry, but you wet the page...but then there were lots of white (dry) bits left that did not connect with the paint you applied? I am a little confused....there again, I am a novice. ha ha

Awesome demonstration. I just tried my first water color painting last night, Total disaster, I was using canson 140lb cold press paper and castle watercolor tube paint, very disappointed, any suggestions? Maybe I need one hundred percent cotton paper.

@ChrisStephenArt 5 күн бұрын

Thanks Wes. In my opinion paper is the most important supply you can buy, cotton paper is certainly beneficial for some styles. Also, practice is key, if you only did your first painting last night, don’t consider it a disaster, it’s part of the learning process!!

First, this is really so nice. I'm quite new to watercolor and have enjoyed your videos. I was drawn immediately to your atmospheric style. Thank you for sharing your art and your process. I was wondering what brand of hake brush this is, and if there is one brand you'd recommend over another. If I missed this somewhere in your video, my apologies. Thank you again.

@ChrisStephenArt 6 күн бұрын

Thanks you so much, I’m glad you like my videos !! I use Pro Arte Ron Ranson hakes. In my opinion they are the best, other hakes have very soft bristles, and can’t really achieve a chiselled edge.

Thank you again! I appreciate the feedback, and just placed an order. Also, just signed up for your Patreon. I'm appreciative of your pace and straightforward explanations. Again, quite the (often frustrated) beginner, but trying to learn how to just relax and embrace what the paint will do, as another of your viewers mentioned. It's so interesting.
