Thanks
your outlook on art has completely inspired me to start playing! Growing up I was never the "art" kid, but I always wanted to be! Thanks to finding your channel, I've been sketching and I'm going to start playing with watercolor next week. Thank you so much for helping me to find such a fulfilling hobbie!
Love watching your journey in life with making art using watercolor! Keep up the great content! You Rock!
Thank you, much appreciated :)
That conversation sketch is just 11/10 😂😂😂 I love your new approach to video editing!
Haha thanks :) Much appreciated. Trying to do higher quality, more planned out videos rather than straight from the top of my brain lol. Planning on more funny stuff too, but that will evolve over time.
@@SchaeferArt the top of your brain was fine, too, this is just a bit more new and fresh, and I can almost sense how much you enjoy it yourself :)
your 1:15 conversation with your oil-clone was great!
Glad to hear! It was fun to do.
I’ve just started sketching and really appreciate your videos! I’m committed to add this to my journey. My pencil set and water colors was my birthday present to myself, 57 years old. Karen and I run a RUclips channel on living your best life. I can’t wait to add some of my artwork into the mix!
The artist Wayne Thiebaud called watercolor "the impossible medium". I thoroughly enjoy it and embrace the impossibility of it. It seems you do too.
I just do what I enjoy and forget the rest :)
Thanks for sharing your experience.
No worries! Thanks for watching!
This is one of your best videos of this nature so far! So much good information along with your 'painting buddy' humor is great~!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this and feel the same and have brought in watercolor about a year ago. I found its improved all my artworks 10 fold.. I think it's because I sketch and paint so many more scenes now, have learned so much about pigments and paint, I never had an interest in that aspe t before now. Good too see your journey!
So glad to hear :) Hope it's going well!
1:20 sheesh! lighten-up doppelgänger! when you leave the Alaska clip and come back to now, now looks like a Rembrandt painting, rich colors and lighting. 👨🎨 A great look back. So glad I found your channel last year. It's been instructive and fun. Thanks for all, Brandon! 💖
Haha, thank you for watching and keeping up with my journey. It was greatly appreciated! Hope your art is going well. Enjoy your weekend :)
Thanks Brandon...in Canada and looking forward to capturing some of the landscape...will be bearing your tips in mind 👍🏽
Sounds great, hope it goes well!
Thank you for inspiring!
No problem :) Thanks for watching
Hey Brandon excellent video. I am just getting back into watercolour. I have been absent from it for 44 years and I am learning a lot about plein air so thanks again for sharing your thoughts. You are right, it’s good to make some mistakes as that’s how you learn!
Glad to hear! Hope it goes well :)
You’re making good progress and I really like the video. As someone who’s been on a similar journey a small suggestion. Get yourself a full sheet of good quality watercolour paper and use a two inch brush. Paint big, let the water and pigment flow and do it’s thing, have fun and paint until you ruin it. Take risks, don’t skimp on materials and allow yourself to make big mistakes - you’ll be amazed at how much you learn very quickly! Thanks for sharing your watercolour journey with us.
Yes I want to invest in some better and bigger brushes soon. I have some full sheets of watercolor paper so I want to try to bigger paintings soon. Thanks for the kind words and suggestions :)
Great video, so interesting to look back, and love your humour ! 🎨
Thank you :)
I try my best to save up for "good" art materials since I'm a stay at home mom with no income. My art materials are about lower than $10. But to hell with it cause whatever material it is I enjoy doing watercolors... I've been struggling but gradually learning more and getting better I love your videos they are very helpful.
Much love, Cele from Philippines 🇵🇭
Celestina Butalid that’s awesome! I think it’s good to save like that. Just to elaborate on my point more - it’s not about having the “best” materials but rather the materials that work best for you 😊
@@SchaeferArt So true, thanks for pointing that out. Keep up the good work. ☺️
OMG you replied thought I was dreaming. Lol 😅
Excellent video. I really enjoy your work.
Thank you for posting your journey with watercolors and plain air💕. I went out on my own today just to play with sketching......oh my!! I want to erase it all!! It looks sooooooooo bad, but I will do another and another and hopefully in time.....
Haha I felt the same way when I first started - in Alaska. I almost stopped after my first one. I was like, wow - I can't do these, they will be awful. But I stuck with it :) You will get better with time and practice.
Awesome vids and motivational, but that plays and acting you did was also great 😂♥️
Thank you haha!
Wow that's cool..when u paint ur 1st painting..n till then now..it's all about practicing,focus nd learn always..new that's why i love watching ur videos,n acting was good 😂 i like the music..keep it up👍🙂
Thank you much appreciated :)
thank you.
No worries!
thank you po
Great video and two hints: One watercolors have to be in checked bags only pan or tubes NSA told me this directly. Two Masking fluid and oil impregnated charcoal do not mix. It makes for one muddy ass mess opps there goes five hours of work. Be safe dude you are one of two artists I watch being the rest are fake ass money hungry hacks fishing for compliments and praise only. Edit: The two people that clicked dislike can go suck an egg!! Edit edit: I think since I embraced ink as my first official medium over a decade ago I fell in love with watercolors for the same reason: They are totally unforgiving about 18 months ago. I am still a hack but I love it anyways. Oh dude technically we are not painting we are dying the paper =) Peace out war in and you are real man so I dig ya!!
Thanks for the info! Much appreciated. And thanks for watching and for the kind words :) I'm just documenting what I do and trying to help others along the way - those are my main goals with this channel. And very true, we are just dying the paper haha!
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks I've learned a lot from you.
Much appreciated. Hope the art goes well! Any questions just let me know :)
Great video buddy
Much appreciated!
5:26 - a rare angry Brandon face, lol. Btw, all the 'crappy' ones look great
Haha very true, I rarely get angry in real life. Thanks!
nice painting
Himan Artists thanks
Loved the skit at the beginning! More fun! More you! the rest was just ok! jk!
Good recap of the year, and much appreciated due to being able to watch your videos as they came during that year.
Maybe the reason you didn't like the Fabriano sketchbook is that it contained the 25% cotton Fabriano Studio paper, whereas your Arches paper is 100% cotton? Or .. did you have Fabriano Artisitco paper (100% cotton) in that particular sketchbook? Please let me know. Thx again for your video.
Thanks for watching :) That's a good question - I had to double-check but yes both sketchbooks are 100% cotton.
Great tips! Do you ever considered do these outdoors paintings with gouache? Peace!
Yes I have, and I plan on doing a full sketchbook of gouache sometime this year :) I figure the better the I get with watercolor, the easier gouache will be.
@@SchaeferArt Thanks! By the way, which size are these watercolors sketchbook? Peace!
Henrique Januário I mainly use 5” x 7” but I have used 7” x 10” when I first started. Might go back to those and bigger this year.
Neat

Thanks, I will definitely check it out :)
I wouldn’t buy a Mercedes either. They are quite ugly to look at
