Very interesting technique. Didn't know you could use watercolor directly on canvas without applying a watercolor ground. Thank you.
love those colour
Oh my goodness I love this idea. Thank you so much. ❤️🌻
Love those Heather blocks! Who would have thought?!
I love this. Yes the beaches are beautiful. We are not known for beaches in Scotland but they are the best i've seen and the cleanest as there's no-one there. That water is so clear and Turquoise until you go a bit deeper and it's very dark Blue/Grey and absolutely freezing. Glencoe and Ranch Moore is my favourite lace in the world.
I agree those colours are so soft and beautiful. I’ve always loved blues and greens together…..I’m glad you enjoyed your time in Scotland Lynda.

This is very beautiful. I have done similar paintings on paper with watercolour using credit cards, palette knives etc. Because watercolour on canvas would easily reactivate if it got wet, how do you protect/seal it - do you use cold wax or a spray varnish? Thank you.
Linda you impress me, when I watch you painting it’s look so easy to do beautifull painting. But I know is not, and you did because you are a very very good painting artist.
Thank you to share
@@SuzanneBeaudoin-jb4eg Thanks so much! I absolutely love the process of painting with watercolour and have developed a relationship with the paints and water as well as my brushes and tools. I find that if I focus on the process and allow things to happen I am very often surprised and pleased with the result. I hope the same will be true for you as well!

Just lovely! I want to experiment more on canvas. Did you use a watercolor canvas or acrylic? Does it matter? Do you prefer not treating with a watercolor ground?
@@theresaavery4670 thank you!
For these demos I use canvases I’ve picked up from our local Dollar Store and/or our big-box craft store. They seem to have a light pre-treatment with a type of gesso (I’m guessing here), but the surface is not as matte looking like it would be with a heavy coat of anything. These canvases are intended for use with acrylic and craft paints - but I find them perfect for this style of painting.
I have tried watercolour canvases but found them to be costly and I wasn’t as pleased with how the pigments and water played on the surface.
Hope this helps! 😊

@@ArtistLyndaNormando you need to seal the finished piece with something?
Great tutorial. I see you didn't use your palette! But we're did get your paint bamboo palette?
Thanks so much for watching!

I have the one with 12 wells. They come empty and I fill them with Daniel Smith paints from the tube. The paints will dry nicely and are easily re-wet when you are ready to paint. My favorite set up has the following colours:
Mayan Dark Blue
Indanthrone Blue
Neutral Tint
Payne’s Blue Grey
Undersea Green
Moonglow
Quinacridone Purple
Quinacridone Rose
Sepia
Transparent Brown Oxide
Aussie Red Gold
Quinacridone Gold
Happy painting!

So you can use on gesso?
@@vananderson4878 thanks for watching and taking the time to leave your question.
When I first started playing with watercolour on canvas I experimented with various surface treatments, including gesso. I found that I much preferred the effect I was able to achieve on canvases just as they came from the store. For the loose and flowing landscapes I found that adding gesso provided more ‘tooth’ and restricted the flow. I would suggest getting a few inexpensive canvases and testing things out. Most canvases come pre-treated with some degree of gesso and you’ll have to play around and find the ones that ‘feel’ right.
Hope this helps!
