Hiya Scott, I've been a subscriber for a while but don't often comment, but I absolutely love your work and you as a great inspiration to me. To me, this painting is a beautiful rendition of a peaceful seascape with a virtual flat calm and the water just gliding onto the shore so gently, hardly causing a ripple. Fabulous. Thanks very much Scott, take care, David. (England )
Being new to watercolour painting and loving more free abstract results, this has opened up a whole new way of creating unique and fascinating painting, for me . Thanks Scott.
Scott this is so magnificent. I know you say it is more realistic than the style that you usually work in but this - for me - is such a perfect coming together of realistic and semi-abstract. Wow! Thank you.
Hi Louis! I agree! I really like the tones of the sea that represent it fairly accurately and the loose brush work that from a distance work to create a representation of the landscape. I will continue to follow this path a bit more! Cheers Scott
Hi Heidi, I am glad it evoked something in you. For me that is what art is all about. I too love this painting. It has something that not many paintings have. I don't know what that is....
Beautiful. I miss being able to attempt watercolour. It gave me so much joy. Sadly, I had a stroke so I am now left handed which is awkward so say the least. But after watching him paint I am inspired to keep trying. The satisfaction of watching him set down the colour and deal with results was magical. His technique and talent are very much light years ahead of anything I could achieve.
Hi Christine! You might end up surprising yourself! You will make interesting marks with your left hand and this may lead to paintings you would never have painted with your right! Good luck! I think you should go for it! All the best. Scott
@@joa8227 Great that you are sharing your experience with others in such a positive way. You are right about persevering - something very similar happened to an artist friend of mine. Like you, he managed to adapt & continues to paint & sell his work🦋🌺🌿
Hi Scott, I am a subscriber, and love the way you teach. You have a way that makes watercolour much easier to get my head around. I recently painted a local seascape using your methods, on a half sheet, and it was instantly sold. Great result, thankyou.
Wow Thank you so much I have learnt an enormous amount in a very short time.Many videos show the working on the painting yours shows the whole thing(amazing how you paint whilest letting us all see what you are doing),very few videos actually also show the thinking including the magical moment of doubt transforming into action.The little asides like cleaning the ruler to avoid mistakes done in a non-patronising way make you a wonderful teacher. I have really enjoyed watching you work and learned so much ,so thank you very much.
Hi Geordie Lad! From Newcastle I assume! My in laws live in Clitheroe not that far away! Glad you have found the videos helpful! I will always try and share in an open way my successes and my failures. But my thoughts are that if I am painting and thinking how I could paint it better next time then there is no real failure just feedback and learning! I will be spending the rest of my life learning about the process of creating artworks and watercolour and other mediums I'm sure! Cheers Scott
Hello Scott, I loved this work evolving and the end result. It is beautiful! And I've been watching you all day because I want to try seascapes similar to this one. I'm hemmed in by Moreton Bay on the western side of my island home and the Pacific Ocean on the eastern side. Sooo much temptation to give seascapes in watercolour a go. Still have my little pots of paint potions from the Beginners Landscape course so raring to go. Just need to crack out the turquoise as well.😊❤😂🎉
Lovely seascape! Thanks so much. I learnt more, mostly about leaving so much nice white space for the light. I'm going to find out about the scraping you did at the last.
Bonjour, Super beau paysage de bord de mer. La preuve que faire simple avec goût et doigté donne quelque chose de magnifique et sans y mettre 25 tons... J'aime beaucoup ton style. Il y a du Turner dans l'air...😚😚😚
Hi Pamela! Really glad you liked it!! It really did look very different to the photo when I stepped back snd looked at it in person! I think I actually like this one! 👍🙏
I think I would need a couple of large glasses of ......something to be able to paint as loosely as you do, however it would never look a tenth that good. Great work. Many thanks for sharing.
Hi Alan! Yes! I do do that on occasions! lol! It works both ways! I find it really difficult to be detailed and precise! different things come easily to different people! I've always been good a making a mess. Now I have been able to gradually evolve that mess into something that has some structure! Thanks for watching. Cheers Scott
Thanks Elizabeth! Yes this painting turned out really well! I really like it actually! The best thing for me is that I have a recording to watch back if I can't remember what I did to paint it! Pretty cool! Cheers Scott
Gorgeous, love the colour mixes. One day after many more brush hours, maybe I could achieve something a quarter as good as this(in my dreams!),- definitely something to aspire to!
Your painting is beautiful. I was surprised you didn't try to paint in the waves coming into the beach more, but I like it better the way you did it. It has movement and atmosphere without being busy.
I absolutely love your work, though I've avoided subscribing to your channel, because I never wanted my personal work to be quite so abstract, but I love painting this way, and its just so lovely. So I've given in, I've subscribed, and I'm enjoying your videos so much. Thanks!
Hiya Scott, I've just found your fab' channel and subscribed. I would never have thought of scratching out the horizon waves, really great video, thanks very much. David.
I love the painting, I love all the photos, such amazing and interesting light there that day. Wish I was there and wish I had the painting on my wall!
Hi B Smith! Thanks! It is a pretty cool painting! I will put it up for sale on my website in a week or two. Do you want me to let you know when I do? I do free shipping to most parts of the world and my watercolours are still very reasonably priced ($300) for this painting including shipping. Thanks for watching! All the best with your painting. Cheers Scott
Thank you very much Scott, it's a different style as usual and I love it ! Now I can Say I finaly have a good day in my room at hospital 😁 thank you from France 😉
As an admirer and having huge appreciation for your dedication and skill. Is it ok to take one of your photographs and use it as inspiration for a painting. Scott ?
Hi Karol! Of course you can! I'm not precious about images of my paintings for people to use to inspire them to paint! I have been doing that with other artists for years! It's how we learn! Cheers Scott
Hi John! Thanks! Yes check out Patreon! There is almost a full introductory course on there now and soon will be a second course. I hopefully help my Patrons to understand the medium of watercolour so they can paint what they would like with more confidence and joy! Thanks for watching. Cheers Scott
A purely technical suggestion about laying down tape: before you peel tape from its roll turn the free end of the tape upon itself, sticky upon sticky, for an easy to find lifting tab when all is complete. Otherwise, I'm quite enjoying many of your video outcomes. Thanks.
Your approach is a pleasure to watch. I especially enjoy watching your liberal use of water to move the paint. Question…how do you prep the paper so you don’t experience buckling and rolling when you paint? Hello from the mountains of WV, US.
Hi Susan! I'm really glad you are enjoying the videos! I do like to use a lot of water! It sometimes goes very wrong! In terms of my paper I should pre-stretch my paper more often than I do! It does buckle a bit quite often and I just work with it and quickly and then when it is too buckled I dry it and start again by wetting the whole thing again! Hope that helps! I love the mountains! Cheers Scott
Hi Donna! Thanks! and Thanks for the sub! It is a great way to work if you enjoy painting on a larger scale and freely with free brush strokes and strong tone! Good luck with your painting!
Hi Scott I have recently joined your Patreon group. I love the way you paint. I just would like to know what kind of board is the white board that you mix and dilute your paints on? Mahroukh
Hi Mahroukh! Thanks for your support on Patreon! I really appreciate it! I paint on a white, aluminium composite board that just sits on top of my desk. I bought it from bunnnings. I will post the link to it below. I am not sure of its availability around the world.....See you in Patreon and the facebook group. Cheers Scott
Spectacular! Possibly I missed it, but could you give more information on your table/pallet? How do you mix the paint right there next to your painting? You are incredible!
Beautiful painting, Scott. Have you stidied with Tony Smibert? Small question, do you find your hakes tend to shed after a while you need to replace them?
Hi David! Yes Tony Smibert taught me from a young age and is an amazing artist and lovely man! If you can ever get any of his books that are wonderful. In terms of hakes yes they do start to loose hairs after a while then you should replace them although I have an older hake, probably 20 years old, but I can’t part with it! I love it but it does drop some hairs on the page! 👍👍

So much fun to watch this happen. You are amazing. And I know exactly how you feel.
Enjoyed watching your process so much!! The speed and physicality of it! Going to buy some bigger brushes asap 🤩
I love how you make painting an aerobic process. I can totally relate.
Thank you Scott. Love the way you share and create. From a Wollongong Shellharbour girl ...

So nice to see Cronulla, used to be our “go to” beach when we were kids. Thank you for the lesson, like your loose style.
Yes Cronulla is a great part of the world! Beautiful coastline! 👍👍
Great job....you may have turned your phone to see the definition of the pic more..... But what a fun and perfect job....Cheers !
Hi Bruce! Yes I don’t know why I didn’t do that! I really like this painting! 👍
Awesome ❤ brilliant ❤

Thanks Ramesh! One of my favourite paintings of 2021!
Lovely seascape! Thanks so much. I learnt more, mostly about leaving so much nice white space for the light. I'm going to find out about the scraping you did at the last.
Hi Phoebe! Yes the leaving of the whites is such a lovely way of having light areas rather than painting them back in later with some kind of white!

At the end I felt it like I was standing in a place of great peace.
Nice! Thanks!

Your painting is beautiful. I was surprised you didn't try to paint in the waves coming into the beach more, but I like it better the way you did it. It has movement and atmosphere without being busy.
Hi Sharyn! Yes I don’t like too much detail! I love to try snd create how something felt rather than exactly how it looked! 👍👍
@@ScottSwinson that's a great rule of thumb. I live in the Rocky Mountains and see many more mountains than sea. Your insight is refreshing
