Wow!!, Thank you,thank you,thank YOU!! Very informative, and very professional delivery,totally mesmerising, a very enjoyable presentation/ demonstration. Superb!!!
This is my first time watching an American Watercolor Society video and my first time seeing John Salminen give a demo. He is obviously a fantastic artist, but he’s funny too and very generous by sharing his techniques. He reminds me of Lauren McCracken, whom I adore, the way he shares information about his specific tools, brands, and techniques. I have used the Bob Ross wispy dry brush technique on clouds using oil paints and it really does work. Now I’m definitely going to have to try it with watercolor. I started painting in oils and it really is easier than watercolor for the very reason John mentioned; if you mess it up, you can just paint over it. You really do have to plan ahead for watercolor. I love that he reminds us to vary the colors as we paint. I’m subscribing.
Just found this. What a treasure!!! Magical,magnificent many surprises that I’ve never seen. Thank you, thank you! Blessings to you and know you have blessed me!!
Thanks so so much for this very insightful video! I am a self-made artist (beginner) and I appreciate all the help that I can get. I used to have no interest in watercolor, until I actually started painting botanicals ...I love it! watercolor is amazing! Thanks for sharing this invaluable information from Mr John Salmine! Now I want to paint Urban Landscapes.
Amazing teacher an artist. He has the Two: effective artist And Teacher. Easy to listen to, and understand, and I do portrait pastels with watercolor underpainting.
It was only by chance that I seen this demo and was glued to the presentation through to the end. What a great teacher. I loved the explanations as he introduced each method he was using in the painting. Excellent!
I had the privilege of a workshop with you and have applied your principles to everything I paint…to my flower gardens as well. You are so generous with your knowledge and so easy to listen to. You are a natural teacher and I thank you.
Loved your demo John, great work! I have to get my atomizers out! I have never seen the screen trick before, excited about that! Especially enjoyed the ending when you revealed the painting in its entirety! Magical!
This demo had me so mesmerized, I've watched it several times and still have the same jaw-dropping reaction at the end (and about 1,000x's throughout the demo). The man is a watercolor genius and so much fun to listen to. I also love his generosity of spirit. It's so apparent and feels like joy! Hope to take a workshop from him someday soon. He's a genius!!! ♥
