"I can't paint or draw anything" is often the most common thing that I hear people say when it comes to art. My response to that statement: of course you can, everybody can. A lot of people even say I can only draw or paint stick men (isn't this exactly what L. S Lowry was loved for?
I believe there's an artist in everybody and like every journey, no matter how far the destination it starts with a step.
For me this journey started when I was around 16 years old when I discovered watercolours, I became fascinated with this medium and just loved how the lost and found edges looked on paper! I bought my first cotman pans and my journey began. Like I said before it doesn't matter about the destination, Im still learning and travelling and as long as you enjoy painting that's important too.
After a number of years with watercolour as my medium I ventured into the world of oil paints!!

Stop fussing and keep your #watercolour painting simple!
Welcome back to my channel, this week I am going to be concentrate on keeping things simple and easy, so I don't want to be fussing with any details.
The materials I'm using today are my schmincke horadam pigments, my 1"hake brush, 2/0 isabay brush and no2 liner brush for my main brushes.
Like I said I'm not after to many details, just a simple and easy landscape painting but I do use a smaller da vinci brush for details for the tree and I'm using Bockingford hot pressed paper. Hope you enjoy this one and find it useful. Don't forget to give me a like and leave a comment 😊

Welcome back to my chanel, I wanted to try something completely different for this week's #watercolor #landscape painting. I've recently seen Joe Menza using white Gouache pigment in his watercolour painting and so I thought I'd give this a go. Instead of using Gouache I'm using Chinese white watercolour paint and this is cotman brand so it's very affordable. I start off by using some of the wh...

When I first started using watercolors, I was using the white that came in my first set of cotman paints, think it was a Chinese white until my art teacher at college told me to use the white of the paper for the white, might sound obvious but at the age of 16 I hadn't really got a clue what I wa...

love watching your videos.
@user-dv5ee6mj2k Thankyou so much that means a lot to me 🙏
Very impressed at how the rocks 'popped up' after using dark foreground colour!
@richardtorr4553 Tthankyou my friend it's like magic lol 😆
Thanks Dave for your inspirational video, it's interesting to watch how you explain it to create a coastal scene, thanks greatly appreciate stay safe and healthy lovely colours and detail
Thanks for watching Philip, greatly appreciate your comment too, glad you enjoyed it 😀
Stunning !
@valerie5315 Thankyou very much, appreciate your comment and glad you enjoyed it 😀
I bought some Khadi paper yesterday and looking forward to using it. Thanks for this demo!
@valerie5315 Enjoy, it can take plenty of water, let me know how you get on 🫡
Would love to know what colors your using ect. Thank you for the video
@ConnieGarrett-l1s Thankyou for the comment love to say I remembered the colours I used, with oils I always mix my own, but looking at the water I prob used paynes gray ultramarine blue and a bit of red. Thanks for watching!
Looks like yellow ochre aswell
Oh my mistake I did this painting in watercolours but I did also in oils many years before lol
Thanks greatly Dave for your inspirational video of wash and ink, also the result of mountain scene very good. Thanks again stay safe and healthy
Thankyou Philip greatly appreciated my friend. Have a wonderful week
Just found your channel. Amazing stuff man! Best of luck. +1 sub
@sciguy3128 Thankyou very much and welcome my new friend 😆
So nice! Just happened across this today, so thanks to the algorithm that brought me here and thanks to you for sharing so much. These trees! I love the silver birches in the back ground, but also the shading you accomplished on your foreground trees-lovely.
@sgv323 Glad you came across my channel too, I did really enjoy painting this one, lot of fun and thanks for watching and commenting 😀
Absolutely amazing effect Dave you have created using hotpress paper, I've not tried using it yet but with your inspirational video and explanation I will be able to have ago thinking of your talk when using it on this enjoyable video. Thanks greatly appreciated
@philipdown3147 Ohh that's great to hear my friend, and happy you enjoyed it let me know how you get on. It is much different than the other surfaces but still fun 😁
Does anybody here enjoy working with hp paper??
Can’t find John’s page
@pollylemelin5600 Look for Joe Menza and I'm sure you will find him and his channel 😊
Very dramatic and not at all dreary in my opinion.
@user-dv5ee6mj2k Thankyou glad you liked it 😊
Love your technique and want to try it myself. The right side of your painting is for me the most natural and nice side.
@Ngangatar Glad you like it, yes give it a go, and I definately agree I like the right side too. Let me know how you get on 😊
Love it, you do make it look so easy! But it isn't.
Keep practising and paint like you don't care how it turns out, use big brushes and learn how much water to put down and you will get there 😊 thanks for watching
I love your style, I keep attempting it
You will find your style, that takes time
Fantastic painting and video! I love it!
Thankyou my friend glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great lesson with encouraging information
@riesalipschitz3035 thankyou for watching and for the comment 😊
Thank you for this painting, image of free life moments, aren’t they ? I am not sure to be abble to like living in such fresh and rustic conditions, but I like to dream of free life , if it does exist Were you giving an invitation for meeting us ? Damage, I can’t drive my car alone to England ! I am a quite old women of more than 60 years old very often, now, do you know this ? And English talkings are not always easy all to understand for me. But if you want, could you give me a visit in France ? Thank you for your patience and your happy music too .
@isabellepanaget2961 Thankyou so much for your lovely comment, I do like to paint free and loose in style mostly from imagination. Thankyou for watching. France is a beautiful country
@isabellepanaget2961 Glad you enjoyed the music too
Mr. Cool thanks lol I wish I were cool :). I don't mind being compared to Bob Ross it is a high compliment. Just to say since I watched the whole video, the way I do my skies is I mix the white in with the paint, I didn't see much of a difference here either I think you probably did not mix in that much. It takes on an almost pastel look the way I use it. I will say it looks like your granulated nicely. also it looks like it lifted more easily. Thx for the shout out.
@joemenzaart Honestly I just don't know how you turn your watercolours into oils but it always great to watch! Thanks Joe for watching and leaving your comments my friend Mr cool 😎 👍
Chinese white does work it's only semi-opaque. Usually it's zinc white whereas the W&N permanent white is Titanium.
@joemenzaart Yes I thought while using Chinese whites it's more of a semi opaque and would definately prefer the white gouache if I could find it, maybe I'll have to buy some more. As if I need an excuse to get more supplies lol 😆
@joemenzaart I will have to get titanium, think that would work best thanks for sharing!
Good video. The dry brush blending I have done this in several of my videos. In order for it to blend without smearing if you use a bit of whie it will blend better. Some papers will smear more than others.
I posted a link to your video in the Ron Ranson group.
Wow thankyou Joe that's really good of you, I appreciate it 😊
Joe where can I find the Ron Ranson group?
Thank you for the inspiration! Love this painting, especially the sky 🙏
Thankyou so much, glad you enjoyed it. I always love painting the sky
Enjoy your trip😊 thanks for sharing
@MadebyDawn23 awe it was lovely to get abroad and enjoy some hot weather thanks Dawn 😊
Weather like Belize I should imagine! 🥵🥵
Thanks I liked the scene a lot. Did you allow the first washes you did to completely dry before putting in the mountains? And if so, did you then re-wet the paper before doing them?
@AtEboli Ahh I actually painted the mountains when first wash was dry, I usually do that while I figure out what I'm doing lol!
Sweet
Thankyou 😄
Very pretty ❤
@lilypoppy1962 Thankyou glad you liked it 😊
Having just bought Kadi paper I am bit dissapointed that my watercolour paint looks very muted on it, however this really suits moody scenes....I will persevere !
Yes do persevere, I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the Indian papers myself. Keep going and thanks for watching
Lovely However to say what colours you are using when or at least listing them Lots of detailed information on paper brand of paint brush etc
@julieo8017 Yes I should give more info , thanks for watching and as always for your support Julie
I mean this in the nicest way possible: You are either very lucky or you have a vision of what you’re going to create that I just don’t understand. Some “simple” and seemingly random strokes and you have the start of a lovely painting. Then the details really bring it together.
Haha I have to agree with you it's luck really coz the more you practise the luckier you become, in my case anyway. Honestly sometimes i haven't got a clue what I'm painting lol 😅
Thankyou for your comment I'm grateful 🙏
Thanks, this is an awesome watch, thanks Stacy Nicolle
@ArtsyFartsyLovers thankyou very much glad you enjoyed it Stacy Nicolle 😀
@ArtsyFartsyLovers My audio stopped working so I hope the music isn't too much lol?
@@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478 i love it
@@ArtsyFartsyLovers Thankyou ☺️
Enjoyable video Dave and love the way you've created by using minimum pallette to show us through the process of a scene with depth detail and active foreground with trees and rocks, I find Joe's work inspirational too
@philipdown3147 appreciate your comments and thanks for watching 😉
Enjoyed your video Dave good to see your technique for painting a sky with clouds to the skyline, well explained the reason for different ways to create your scene. Greatly appreciate you sharing your talent and inspiration 🎨👍
Wow thankyou Phillip it's always a pleasure to share, I had problems with my audio so I had to chuck on a load of music. Maybe a problem with my software. Well glad you liked it my friend 😉
Lovely Glad to know the paper and paint manufacturer How about what colours from the palette you used?!
Yes I know I'm terrible, think I need to write em down lol 😆
@@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478 then you could share with us So much to learn with colours mix and mingle
@julieo8017 Yes definately agree 100 percent appreciate your comment 👍
And mingle?
davelowe.artist@googlemail.com
l love your painting. I'm inspired to try this. I was surprised by your brushes and that you could do such nice work with what looked like a big brush to me.
Thankyou so much, it's good to use bigger brushes to keep things nice and loose, I use the smaller brushes towards the end for finer details if needed 😄
Try this one and please let me know how you get on 👍
Done Beaumaris, and painted it? I've done sketched Conwy castle a few times. Been there a few times aswell!!
Yes lovely places, oh you sketched on location? Fantastic 👍👍
@@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478 no, I took a photo. And sketched them at home.
@arundel6640 Ahhh yes it's not always easy to sketch plein air, I'm a fan of painting from the snaps I take cool stuff, thanks for comments 😊
I love this one! I'll be getting my ink out. Thanks.😊
Thankyou Debbie, glad you liked it, inks are fun to use with watercolour love it 😀
Thanks. Nice painting.
I really did enjoy painting this one, wondering what to include here and there and I think it works, thankyou for watching and appreciate your comments 😊
I love how this turned out! I struggle with creating interesting textures in the foreground of my paintings. Your approach looks so effective! Especially as you zoomed out, your painting looked so expressive. Beautiful work👏
Awe thankyou my friend I really enjoyed painting this one and glad you enjoyed it 😊
It's 320gsm
Thankyou lol
Lovely painting Dave of waterfall and detail on the bank of the river, enjoyed the video keep up with your inspirational technique 👍
Truly appreciate your comment thankyou Philip my friend glad you enjoyed it, have a wonderful weekend 😀
I just found your channel. I like your style. I like the instructional narrative. Thanks for the video.
Oh glad you found my channel and welcome. Greatly appreciate your comment, I do enjoy painting in a loose style 🙂
Nice painting. Good tonal values. Love the foreground using a palette. I will try that technique in my next painting. Thanks
Awe thanks for the comment Tracy, using a pallette knife is great for scraping out highlights and rocks, especially on hp paper. Thanks for watching 👍
Oh yes it's worth a try and fun too, please let me know how you get on!
Yes I will let you know. I am not a confident artist, still learning.
@tracybrowne7019 Ohh thankyou just keep on practising! It's all abt air miles with ur brushes 👍
I lived in Dyfed in the 90's and it is beautiful there...Tenby, Narberth...but north Wales is magic!!! I love your loose style! I tend to be too tight with watercolours, so it was great watching you paint this and using a big brush to begin with then building up the colours after.
Yes I do love North Wales and Angelsey is lovely too. Tenby is on our list to go next year. Thanks for your comment painting loose didn't come easy for me but bigger brushes certainly does help and maybe paint quickly too 😀
Very nice. Not to busy. Thank you for sharing your technique.
Ohhh good to hear and thankyou for the comment glad you enjoyed it my friend 👍
I hope to be able to paint as nice and loose as you do, great watching and good toknow what colours you are using, thank you.
Awe thankyou Joan it takes lots and lots of practise, it was very hard at first for me to loosen up but it does allow freedom!!
I just love this! Are you using ink too? Or how are you getting that dark in the front?
Thankyou for watching, glad you enjoyed it, no ink I just used very rich mix of paynes grey and indigo or something like that 😀
Iv got a lot of Khadi bc it was so inexpensive. Ive used it in eco printing. It holds up well while wet en though it seems like it would crumple and I get good results. Now I’m excited to use it for other projects in book making. I think it might make a wonderful watercolor print using Japanese inks. ❤
Yes the Khadi papers are quite different and get completely different results to regular paper I think, for me it's like a pastel painting. It is interesting. Should be good with printing too, let me know how you get on my friend! Have a wonderful weekend 😀
You give me so much inspiration, really love your style and your insight, really helps to remove the fear of giving it a go...thank you
Thankyou for you're lovely comment, yes sometimes you just got to dive right in, doesn't matter the outcome! Have a good weekend my friend 😆
