This is a really simple watercolour that captures that feeling of emptiness! It reminds me of a trip many years ago (almost 20) up to north Canada and drilling holes in the frozen lake to go fishing with some great guys from Montreal! The music in the time lapse part of this video is made by friend Aaron Stone. Links to his channel on Isight Timer and twitter is below. He is an amazing man with sound!

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)
I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.

Absolutely stunning... One of my favourites, superb work Scott
Thanks Lois! Sometimes a quick painting works out well! 🙏
it 's very impressive - it seems that everything is more simple , neo at the same time expressive and atmospheric
Love the simplicity! Its so calming. Thank you for sharing.
HI Lisa! Glad you like it! Very calming!
Love it! You make it look so easy.
Love it!!! When I watch you painting, I sometimes want to say " Stop that works!!" Thanks for sharing
Yes minimalist landscapes can really work and be just as powerful and valuable as any other more complex landscape! 👍👍
So easy! I love how easy this is!
Hi Hunter! yes I agree! So few strokes and yet such a lovely landscape!
Love the simplicity of this one! Gorgeous
Hi Kathryn, yes it surprised me when it was finished and it was ok to stop! It's good to not over analyse! Cheers Scott
Wow! The economy of actions show de mastery. I hope arrive at that point some day.
Hi Pamela! Yes not many strokes of the brush! Love the feeling of space! Cheers Scott
Beautiful . La beauté est dans la simplicité . Merci pour la traduction automatique en français . 😊
Hi Darina! It is a lovely simple painting! I am glad you found the translation captions helpful! I am slowly going through my videos to make them able to be used in this way. Cheers Scott
I tried to recreate this on three times. I re-watched it five times. and now I think, that you have rather thick paint in the cups and it goes uneven onto the brush. that is how the loose stripes come in and why this all in all look more interesting, than what I did. and now... another try :-)
Hi funny girl! The paint is thick at times but isn’t uneven. My brush is uneven. I often use a fan brush that is hacked up with a pair of scissors. Good luck with your 4th try!
Thanks for helping me get back to watercolors. So helpful to watch how others paint! I have painted this (your painting) many times now and its all starting to come back...slowly. Haven't painted in 10+ years and I have missed it! Thanks again.
Hi Susan! Good luck returning to watercolour! My advice is to work small, with strong pigment and large(ish) brushes so you keep it simple and get to know the medium again! If I can help just ask. cheers Scott
@@ScottSwinson Thank you so much for this inspiration, and *especially* for suggesting one can successfully work in a smaller size.
Your painting has left me breathless. Stunning. ❤️. Xo
Hi Janice! I'm really glad you liked it! cheers scott
Best painting video ever 👍

Beautiful 😊🍀 I was thinking Canada too. Love it! I actually want to be in Canada right now. Yes, wonderful how it just comes together like a melody
Love the simplicity & minimalism of the painting!
Thanks Gaila! My long time mentor Tony Smibert does some really amazing minimalist landscapes and abstracts! Cheers Scott
I looked Tony Smibert up..wow amazing!! One of my art friends calls my landscapes minimalist..definitely not like Tony’s though! Thanks for sharing your techniques & ideas. You do wonderful work!
I know! His work is amazing! You are always welcome! Happy painting Gaila! 👍🙏
Simply beautiful, and very effective. Thank you for sharing once again Scott.
Hi Cathy! Thanks! I do love simplicity but sometimes feel like I have not done enough "work" It's important to trust your gut and not be lead down the ego/logical part of the brains path! Cheers Scott
Hi Scott. Just remember that you have put in many many hours of practice , in order to be able to paint so effortlessly.😊
So true! 👍
tundra! love it.
Thanks Jayne! 👍👍
Stunning! Thank you for sharing!
No worries! I do love simple! 🙏
Love this one. Could easily be a northern Minnesota (my home) landscape.
That’s great Joe! Simple can be lovely! 👍👍
Simply beautiful! Your relaxing videos got me through some stressful times during lockdown. I was binge watching them all at once!
Thanks Sue! I have been thinking about you and your watercolour and I am in the process of making a foundation course for watercolour. So people know what they need to know at any stage of their journey. I will share the link with you when I am done. It will of course be on Patreon. Thanks Sue! Hope you are enjoying your painting! Cheers Scott

This is stunning with so few brushstrokes! It feels like wide open spaces devoid of humans. I could just disappear into that landscape!
Hi Melissa! Yes I do love wide open spaces devoid of humans! Thanks!
@@ScottSwinson me too!!!
Japanski minimalizam ❤ savršena slika ma
I tried this a few times, but had no success until l realised l must have missed the part about planning the areas to be wetted in advance, and leaving the dry patch. That instruction would have been very helpful. These minute details aren'tn't intuitive for many of us... and l do love your work.
Fabulous
Thank you El Rey! 🙏
Beautiful...

Yellow ochre and Payne’s gray?
Hi Kelly! Yellow ochre and mix of Winsor Blue (red shade) and Light Red but you could totally use Paynes Gray. 👍
Very effective
Thanks Robert! 👍
what method is used to secure top of paper. to avoid buckling?
Hi Pistol Woman! Most of the the time I use 3M magic tape on all 4 sides with about 25% on the paper and 75% on the board. I use 300gsm paper and most of the time that stops a huge amount of buckling. If I completely saturate it or I am working large then I really should stretch my paper more often than I do or use 600gsm paper but it's pretty expensive when painting large like I do!

Hi Scott! Wonderful example of knowing just when to stop! Beautiful!
I do have a question for you about your signature - it didn't look like you were writing an "ss"(?) Does your signature represent something different?
Hi dragonflycat, yes a very simple watercolour with very few strokes. In terms of the signature I have two different signatures, one for more traditional paintings which is my name painted in cursive like writing and the second one is for more minimalist paintings and that is my wife's bank stamp she used when living in Japan for 2 years and a stylised "S" with it. It's a way of saying thanks to her for the year we spent apart while I spent that time with Tony Smibert in Deloraine Tasmania. Thanks for watching. Cheers Scott
@@ScottSwinson An ode to your respect and love for her - that's really wonderful-! Thank you for sharing, Scott.
Yellow ochre and?
Beautiful! 💐
Thanks Tanja! 🙏😀
