  • Watercolour supplies I used in this video view below.
    With every watercolour sketch/painting, I learn a little bit more about how this medium can frustrate and satisfy in the same breath.
    This abstract watercolor painting is the last landscape sketch in a series of six quick sketches that I feel captured what I was trying to project from the inspirational shoreline of Torquay, Devon in England. In this painting, I'm also adding more detail to the landscape than I have done in previous abstract landscape watercolour paintings.
    Hope you enjoy this watercolor sketch. Please subscribe and let me know what you think in the comments section.

      Thanks for commenting. Nice to know my creative has inspired you to paint. And I don't think I can paint and talk at the same time. 😄

    Absolutely love your tutorials and am trying to absorb how you simplify with such simply stunning results. Do you ever do thumbnail pencil sketches before your watercolor sketches?

    • @look4light
      @look4light  3 года назад +5

      Thanks for your feedback. Yes, I do about a dozen quick sketches to understand composition and simplify the landscape. In the opening of the video, you will see the camera scan all the watercolour and pencil sketches.

    I'm always happy when I see a new painting tutorial you've made here!
    Usually I observe and study your process for a minute or two, then I go forward close to the end. At that point my thoughts are a combination of awe of the complexity yet simplicity along with "wha-the-? How did he achieve that effect over here?" Then I go back to where I left off and continue to watch carefully to the end. Thank you again for sharing your excellence here! :-)

    • @look4light

      Thanks dragonflycat. I don't think I will ever learn to fully control how watercolour pigment interacts with water. It's an ongoing learning curve. This watercolour sketch was one of 6 that I did. The other 5 sketches were warm-ups to this one. Sometimes when working out composition, I will create a dozen or so just to work out how I want the watercolour paint to flow. Watercolour painting is both frustrating and satisfying in the same breath . . . but it's so much fun!

    I love your work and it has inspired my own Rothko-inspired paintings. I would love to know what brush you use in the first part of the video, for the blue washes. TIA

    • @look4light
      @look4light  2 года назад +1

      Thanks for the comment. And the brushes I use for the washes are from Amazon. Budget friendly Chinese synthetic brushes. I buy loads of cheap brushes to try out. Hope that helps.

    So beautiful! I am trying to learn watercolors and your colors are stunning! What brand do you recommend?

    • @look4light
      @look4light  3 года назад

      Hi Gloria, thanks for your comment. The brand I use is Winsor & Newton. For the most intense pigments I use the Professional series. These are expensive but they do satisfy my need for deep colours. I do believe Winsor & Newton have a variety of price points within their line up of watercolour paints.

    This was an inspiring video. I’d never thought of doing watercolor sketches before, but I’m going to start. What a great way to do a little bit of work every day. The way you did the trees was so cool! I’ve got to go try that.🤗 Thank you.
