- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- Grand Canyon vistas are indeed grand and complex. But doing quick studies of that or any complicated subject means you may need to zero in on a few sample areas to keep from being overwhelmed. I'll show you my process for doing 2 Grand Canyon studies in a toned-tan sketchbook.

Steve, I comment on your videos a lot because I always feel good after watching them. First, congratulations to you and your wife on another year of a successful marriage. That is a beautiful achievement. As for your work, you make it look easy and that encourages me to try. I know that you've been painting for years and that's why it looks easy, but your experience and talent are a blessing for the RUclips audience. Thank you for having this channel.
Always a pleasure to watch you and learn. Congrats to you and your wife on your anniversary. Great to see successful marriages.
What a great idea to use the toned paper for the second, snow in the canyon scene.
Excellent. One of the side benefits for me was learning more about tan paper, which I had just purchased and now I really cannot wait for it to arrive. On another note I truly appreciated the help with narrowing my paintings to emphasize one thing, rather than the entire universe!. May you have many more years of happiness together.
Your work as always is awe inspiring... you intuition is unique. I do enjoy watching & learning from your tutorials.
You & your wife do make a cute couple...
Congratulations to you both and God bless.
Omgoodness! Loved your vignette and your choice of the tan watercolor paper, very cool. Also loved your use of the transparent watercolor as well as the white gouache! You sure make it look easy! I hate to say it but I have always been into music and your background music made it all seem that more majestic!! Could watch and listen for at least another hour!! ;) Thank you so much for sharing a part of your anniversary with your Lady, congrats to you both!!
Thanks for showing us this! Congrats on your long marriage!
Nice work, Steve. I used to live near "The Canyon, " and I'm picky about its representation. Respect!
The music enhanced this video and made it so enjoyable.
Enjoyed watching you paint a western scene, Steve. And your advice to do vignettes is good in these vast open vistas. Mountains are like that too. You just want to gobble them up somehow in one work, which is impossible. I just returned from Oaxaca, Mexico with my family. And, like many, I wanted somehow to paint those vast scenes, like at the Monte Alban Zapotec ruins. Thankfully, I only had my sketchbook and a few pencils, so I ended up with some great little studies.
Sounds awesome!
Wow! Your perspective is awesome. That cliff with the green trees was so realistic and beautiful. You do amazing work. Thank you for sharing your trip and your gifts and talents.
what a fascinating video, I love the sketches ☺☺
Really lovely, the two pieces here.
The Grand Canyon - such a mesmerizing and balance-toppling experience.
Glad that more of you and your wife's journey will be shared here through art.
Thank you.
I'm so happy you've returned with new sketches, I've almost forgotten what pleasure it is to watch you draw and paint them. And there's always awesome music.
/Edit - our 30th anniversary will be next April. Strange to imagine. Our wedding seems like yesterday.
Congratulations to you and your wife to your anniversary 🤩 Watching you paint is always a pleasure. It's helpful that you give explanations on your choice of materials.
The background music is great, I think I'll have to watch the video a second time 😄
Yes, you can't believe it's real! Happy Anniversary!
What a fantastic video! Amazing work! Thank you❤️
Wow stunning! I'm especially intrigued by the second one! I, too, love doing vignettes!
Happy Anniversary!
Love this. I live by the Grand Canyon. You are right it takes your breath away with its grandeur. I would love it if you could come back out and take in southern and eastern par of Utah. There are canyons that are spectacular. I would love to see what you would pick and how you would draw in the details to capture the red rock formations. I love America every where you travel there is something beautiful to see. And when you draw and paint your choices are endless. Happy painting.
These are stunning. Thank you for sharing your process of sketching on toned paper. I really enjoyed this video, and learned a lot. Congrats on your wedding anniversary. A good long marriage is hard to find these days
Congratulations for your years of love and friendship together! Grateful for all the knowledge you share, but this time I'm especially thankful to know that love conquers all...with PROOF!!! Hugs to both of you from Canada.
I really enjoyed this video. I love your style.
absolutely stunning!
Hullo Steve, I have been to “The Canyon” twice, but it has been many years! I first saw it when just 9 and then again at 12 when I had started watercolors with my Gran. I went several times with my aunt the second time. She went on Tuesday’s often several times a month! She never liked going on the weekends, to many tourists! I wish I had saved my work from back then, my Mom kept them, but they were stored and I did not find them after she had passed. I am looking forward to seeing your versions in watercolor! See ya next video!
Thank you for sharing this one. I have a mostly empty toned sketchbook that I now have some ideas for.
Happy Anniversary and what a wonderful way to celebrate! I can't wait to see more of this wonderful trip.
I love Grand Canyon! Was able to hike down Bright Angel Trail to the oasis (or whatever!) there. Two hours both ways. I truely appreciate the magnitude and expanse of it, and your painted studies are delightful!
Congratulations to you and your wife for 45 years" journey together!
Sensational demo & music package, Steve 💕
Happy Anniversary! What a great way to share it! The first pic you created was stunning, but the second ... 🌠 out of this world! Love the toned tan ... can't wait to get up the nerve to initiate my toned books. You are an inspiration!
Steve...I am a relatively new subscriber and am enjoying your channel immensely. So when I clicked on there this week I had a fun surprise. Your rendition of the Grand Canyon was delightful. My husband's great grandfather, William Wallace Bass, started the first tourist camp at the Canyon in 1884. He entertained the likes of Zane Grey, John Muir, Henry Ford and a name you will know...
Thomas Moran...just to name a few. Several years ago I wrote a book about the family..."Stories the Canyon Keeps. It won the Best of the West 2019 award from True West Magazine. Looking forward to more of your " Canyon Vignettes"....
Cool!
Thanks so much Steve!! Enjoyed you visit to the Canyon! Painting was awesome my friend!!
These are lovely!! You know I'm a huge fan of beige paper
Also WOW even just the short clip where you walk up to the rim, it's mind blowing how vast it is...and I know it doesn't do it justice. I hope I can go someday.
REALLY looking forward to seeing your plein air session there.
Thanks Sarah! I was there 15 years ago and still did a gasp all over again as I walked to the edge.
Wow!
Awesome that you visited my state!
Beautiful! And the toned paper is a great choice. I've been wanting to tackle Bryce Canyon for years now, but as you say, it's very overwhelming. Thanks for the tips - maybe I can try it now. And congratulations on your anniversary!
If you can manage to visit the grand canyon in person, you absolutely should. It is a jaw dropping experience that can not be captured with photos and videos.
Incredible 💞
Love it. It's true it's hard to capture the scope of the Grand Canyon. I have tried just using black gouache, Derwent charcoal paint set and markers. Also watercolor. Have to rely on photos. Hope you can post some of your pictures.
Someone needs to make tan watercolor paper. The results against that background color are so vivid but I don't trust myself to use the right amounts of water. Happy anniversary, btw! Our 30th is coming up next month!
Hahnemuhle does but it's non cotton and not very dark. Still it's better than non watercolor paper.
I was there twice, 1964 and 2011.
Yeah, that scripture is about you sir. Thank you for sharing.
Superb ✨
Amazing
Sounds like y"all had a great trip. thanks for showing us those two little sketches on the tan toned sketchbook. It was so interesting to see.
I always feel so inspired by watching your videos. I definitely need to get back to Arizona sometime & visit the Grand Canyon. Thank you for sharing your experience with us & the gorgeous studies! 🥰
Wonderful video and may the good Lord continue to bless your marriage
re you comment towards the beginning of the video about the disconnect that you feel when viewing the canyon, I remember that sense. I felt like I was seeing a movie backdrop painting of a canyon even as it was before me. it was kind of difficult to comprehend the whole canyon...
❤🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Do you use different brushes with your gouache and your watercolors?
Sometimes. Depends on softness. Gouache often benefits from a stiffer snap.
woooww¡
Love the ARTWORK .... HATE THE ANNOYING BACKGROUND MUSIC. SO GLAD FOR THE MUTE BUTTON.
