Abstract Watercolour Landscape Painting / Inspired by my local trout stream.

- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- In this abstract watercolour landscape painting I have employed a variety of techniques. Wet on wet, blotting, layering and using a palette knife to achieve greater depth of focus. I try to keep the composition as abstract as possible while adding some sense of detail. This painting has elements of my previous watercolor paintings. An illustration on my evolving painting style. Hope you enjoy this demonstration and please subscribe if you have enjoyed watching this video.
Watercolour paints: Winsor & Newton Professional. More expensive than most other paints but best quality.
Watercolour Paper: Arches 140 lb cold press. Great paper but also expensive. I do notice a big difference when using a 100% cotton fiber paper.
Editing software: DaVinci Resolve. GREAT FREE software. Short learning curve with lots of YT tutorials.

I really appreciate your lessons and hope you find your way back to teaching via your channel. I feel that some watercolor artists over complicate their tutorials and also the medium in general. I love your approach!
Thank you Dianne for your words of support. Great to hear you are enjoying the watercolour videos. Its been a crazy couple of years but I think I must get back to creating some more watercolours. 👍
When my paper gets to that soggy stage, i think my painting is ruined, but you kept going. It looks good.
Just like in the beginning,the fisherman is fishing and as the fish grabs the bait,this painting grabs you.So awesome.🌹
A great pice of learning. My paper becomes so saturated! Practicing this piece over and over. Thank you.
I am in awe. Your imagination is enviable! To see the vision appearing is mesmerizing.Thank you!
By the time you finish your landscapes they always evoke a memory of somewhere I've been. Makes me want to create too. Thanks!
Fascinating to watch this beautiful scene come to life!
This was great! So relaxing to watch and inspiring also! Thank you for sharing 😊❤️
Muy interesante. El artista deja a la pintura de acuarela correr por el agua a su gusto y luego, artista y material van actuando juntos durante toda la obra. Interactúan y se hermanan perfectamente.
Beautiful to watch and listen.
Many thanks!
Lovely, and the music so relaxing.
Many thanks!
This is my second video. It is wonderful to watch you create. I am learning so much from you. Thank you soooo much!!
Thank you Harriet for your positive comment. Appreciate the support👍
Beautiful. Gracias 🤩
Absolutely brilliant. So much care taken that gives wonderful textures and mood. And all of this in a 20 minute video. Thank you John
Thank you Mike for your wonderful response to my art. I learn from each painting, always evolving. Thanks again for your support. 👍
This is a beautiful tutorial! Also thank you for including the palette moves as well. Most artists keep that part out which annoys me 🤣🙏🏼🎨
You're so welcome!
I love these John. Thanks for the lesson.
Not nervous style ... good feeling👌✨. Your landscape art is right to be called "Abstract Landscape painting". You can enjoy the contingency arising from bleeding😚. I also like watercolor bleeding, so I felt a sense of affinity☕😌.
Love it. What brushes are you using?
I love your paintings and your approach to watercolors. You also create excellent videos. Thanks for posting, I'm always looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Kirby. I'm always learning something new with every painting. 👍
Lovely painting, thank you for sharing😀
Amazing! I love watching your videos, so calming. I need this Zen in my life. Thank you.
I like the peace it gives ... it's an expressive painting ... thanks for sharing😍😍👍👍❤
Thank so much! Watercolour is a wonderful medium. I never know exactly how the painting will evolve. Water has a mind of its own👍😃
I love your painting style. The process looks almost organic and the results are fabulous. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for your reply to my watercolours. The organic nature of watercolour painting is very exciting. Yes, I have many disasters but lots of fun.
Such a pleasure to watch. Calming, intriguing. The bonus is a beautiful picture emerges. Thank you.
Thank you for you comment. So glade you are enjoying my work. 👍
Watching you doing your painting, is very calming thank you😊
Shanolyn Martinez, so glade you are enjoying my watercolour paintings. And yes, watercolour painting is very calming. Thanks for your support👍

💖🥰💖
I’m so glad to have found your channel. I’m moving into more abstract paintings and finally found a style that feels right. Thank you!
Stunning, John!
Great video!
Great painting... Looks amazing....😍😍😍
Thanks for your positive response. It's a little longer than my other videos so hope viewers stay engaged. 👍
@@look4light Ur welcome...☺️
I am so glad that I discovered your channel. Your process is very meditative. As far as I can see, you are not using a block or board. I was wondering how do you keep your paper flat while painting like this? Also, do you plan most of your painting beforehand or just let it go? Thank you in advance for answering!
Hi EK. Apologies for the late reply. Thanks for your interest in my watercolour paintings.
I use a watercolour block pad. Pads of watercolour paper have glue around the edgies allowing you to use them on location etc. I also tape my paper to a wooden board, any kind of masking tape seems to work for me. In this painting I wanted a clean border so I used the green painters tape to create the clean edge. AND, I do about 6 paintings for every video. 5 of them end up on the studio floor. I learn from my mistakes, each mistake gets me closer to my vision.
Hope this response helps.
@@look4light Thank you for your response!
Thank you!
Enjoyed this very much, wat kind of tape do you use?
The tape is a regular house painters tape. Any hardware store will carry it.
How very "Zen", calm and collected. What is the brush you are using? Great point!
Thanks for your comment. The great pointed brush is a Raphael Martre kolinsky sable #8. Great brush, holds a lot of watercolour
Hi John! Love all your vídeos and learn a lot waching them. What brushes did you use um this one? Stay safe!
Hi Ana, the brushes are a Shanlian Hubi Chinses Calligraphy Brush. You can get them on Amazon. Not expensive. And the fine, long tip brush I use for my signature and any controlled work is a sable hair brush. Sable hair give you great control when accuracy is important.
@@look4light thanks John! Hope to watch a new vídeo of yours soon. Stay safe
Piękne...
Thank you.
Do you see this painting in your head before you start, or do you follow the paint?
Hi Hazel, i do see the painting in my head. What you don't see in the video are all the test paintings I do. I like to do at least 6 draft compositions/painting to get comfortable with the landscape. Then I start videoing the watercolour painting.
