Thanks for the nice comments! Glad it helped you, have fun painting!

Thanks for the lovely comments! Have fun painting!

Thank you, there is another video that shows the same technique more clearly. It’s similar to a lot of things you will paint creating the depth of a 3d object by using shadows and blending light to dark.

All the newer videos are filmed from the left so my hand isn’t in the way.. Certain things are painted over and over so just search the new videos for what you’d like to learn. Enjoy!

Hi Jim! Thanks for the review on those brushes. I use a lot of the same ones as seen in my paper / brushes explained video. I don’t usually use the sable brushes as I find them too soft. I have a couple flat brushes but rarely use them, one is an escoda Versatil. Happy Painting!

Thanks so much Mark! They are fun to film and paint! 😊🖐🏼

Thanks very much Mark! Yes!! I remember the big old fruit trees, a lot of them cut down to be replaced with grape vines. I helped a neighbour cut down some of his old cherry orchard, beautiful trees and the best fruit were at the top, hard to reach! So much to paint. This spot above Vaseux lake is sensory overload when you get up there. So many painting compositions to choose from and simplification is a must! Welcome to my tutorial channel! There are some videos on here that will teach you watercolour skills that took me years to figure out. You’ll get used to watercolour quickly as long as you paint, paint and paint! Using good quality paper is probably the most important thing. Have fun! I appreciate the comment and memories! Regards, Mike

@@watercolourlandscape Thanks Mike. I do plan to keep at it with watercolor. Im not sure it'll replace oils, as I tend to enjoy large canvasses, but its nice to have right in front of me and the discovery process of a new way of expressing a scene is exciting to me. Ive always loved watching watercolorists. Maybe I can become one! Cheers.

Thanks very much Colleen! The tablet is a regular size ipad. I also like to take photos of photos with it, then I can zoom around creating a pleasing composition. Sometimes several paintings from one reference photos. Once I zoom and crop, I just take a screen shot of the new composition. Hope this helps and welcome to the channel!! Mike

Thanks very much! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment . A lot of these painting I film are challenging but if we deal with the subject matter in a way that we study it and make a plan on how to paint it, it becomes a lot easier when you start painting. All these paintings are simply a subject matter, decide what the focus will be, simplify complex things to just shapes, background, middle-ground and foreground. Make a plan on how you will paint each section, how to tie it all together. The easiest paintings to see are plein-air but they are also the most difficult to finish in the sun, wind, passers by asking questions and so on. I think I have 4 plein-air paintings I need to finish, some from the videos and I always think, hey if it doesn’t work out, I have a new sheet of paper I can start a new painting on. Let’s paint! Looking forward to the next motivational subject and a new tutorial! Feel free to post in our community section of the channel, I would love to see your art. 🖐🏼😊 Mike

Thanks so much! Such fun detailed painting!😊🖐🏼

Thanks very much! I’m glad you found my channel, welcome. I hope the tutorials help and are entertaining.😊🖐🏼

Hi, the painting is not quite finished, I got home and put it aside in the studio. I just posted the almost finished painting in the community tab section of the channel if you’d like to have a look. Sorry it’s been a while, I forgot about it 😊.

@@watercolourlandscape ok, found it, thanks! I was not checking the comunity tab.

Yes! Bill Alexander, I forgot his name. 😊🖐🏼🥇 I’ve been using green painters tape to hold the individual sheets down. I used to paint on the blocks but moisture in very wet paintings get into the next or several sheets and I was ending up with surfaces that were not flat. Then individual sheets do get a bit wavy sometimes if I un-tape them too soon so I flatten them by misting the back of the paintings and press them in a watercolour paper “sandwich” and something heavy on top until they dry overnight. Works well! Great idea making your own blocks! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, cheers, Mike

I simply meant that on PBS Bill Alexander came first. He was Happy Little Trees and Bob was Happy Little accidents. I was lucky enough to learn from both.@@beckyraver7959

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for your kind words, much appreciated. 😊🖐🏼 Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! I appreciate your kind words and glad the tutorials are helping you!

Thanks so much Lorne!!🖐🏼😊😊

Glad you liked it! Thanks so much!

Thanks yes another viewer mentioned that too. I purchased three of their sets a long time ago and I’ve never seen/heard any of their commercials and no-one at the art supply store said the name. They are great pigments and fun to paint with! QOR “core” from now on I promise! If they hadn’t capitalized the R I would have certainly called them Qo R. They act quite differently than Daniel Smith Watercolours, both excellent pigments. Have fun painting, thanks for taking the time to comment.😊🖐🏼

Thanks so much Diane, I’m glad the tutorials are helping and that you found the channel! Welcome and thank you for taking the time to write 😊🖐🏼.

You are so welcome! Luckily the wind switched from the North to South today and a lot of the smoke moved on! Hopefully the fires put themselves out. Be safe out there and thanks for being part of our watercolour community. Mike

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you so much! This is one of my favourites!! 😊🖐🏼

You are so welcome and thanks for watching! I hope it helps!

Thanks for watching! Glad I could help you add to your skills! Thanks for the rain wishes 😊, it’s in the forecast for tonight 🖐🏼 We sure could use it.

Thanks so much Judith! So kind of you. I’m glad they help 😊🖐🏼 I should have a new one up in the next few days!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it, I hope these tips help!😊🖐🏼

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much! This is one of my favourite scenes to paint.😊🖐🏼

Thanks so much! I’m so glad its helping you understand watercolour, that makes it so much fun. 😊🖐🏼 Uploading new tutorial right now! Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much Debra! I hope you have fun painting it!😊🖐🏼

You are very welcome! Glad I found this photo 😊

@@watercolourlandscape do you ever sell these - not that I could afford it 🤗

Thanks Gina! Yes the demo paintings are for sale, this one is 12x16 inches paper size. It has about a 1/4 inch white border around it. You can send me an email at Mike@mikebeaulieufineart.com and I can provide more details. Thank you, Mike

@@watercolourlandscape sent just now

Thanks so much!😊🖐🏼

Beautiful spot yes!! This building was right beside the locks just up from the RCMP campground. I was young and I don’t remember what the building was used for. I spent a lot of time in one of the campground’s rowboats and camping there! Manotick is a gorgeous area.

For sure Gina, I’ll post the drawing in the community tab 😊. It’s also posted on my Instagram page. Hope you give this one a try! It was a fun calming, stress free painting!

@@watercolourlandscape thanks Mike. I have rejected all other forms of social media - too much funny business and manipulation sadly

@@ginaschissler9887 I totally understand! Thanks for helping improve this channel, much appreciated!

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video!😊🖐🏼

Thanks very much! Glad it brought back some memories 😊🖐🏼 You might like the plein-air winery tutorial, it’s up the west mountain and shows some valley views!

Thanks so much for watching and your comment! It’s nice to have the preliminary drawing marks, more than anything, they are position markers to make sure elements of the painting end up at the right spot. 😊🖐🏼 I hope you have time to give this one a try. I’ll look at it again and think I’ll add more colour. I have to build a shade for my easel so the bright sun is not on the painting. It makes it difficult to see if the colours are strong enough. Happy painting!

Thanks so much Gina! Very generous of you 😊🖐🏼. I’m having a lot of fun with these tutorials! I’m deciding on the next one now and hopefully I will film and paint it this afternoon. A rural road with a nice little building and country house. Maybe I should paint it on a big half sheet of paper! Thanks again, much appreciated.

@@watercolourlandscape I look forward to each one and the time when I can give them a try myself ❤ ps if you ever decide to start a patreon count me in

Thanks very much for being part of this exciting watercolour journey Gina! 😊

Thanks so much Beverly! Such a fun one to paint! Glad you like seeing the reference image at the same time, I thought it would make the techniques and painting along easier.😊🖐🏼

Thanks for watching! I hope it helps add to you watercolour skills and makes painting easier!😊🖐🏼
