I made a commitment lately to paint immediately after watching a video. It is working great....I think I will paint my golden foreground and top sky together first. I will leave white on sides but let both sides run. I too am very glad I had discovered your advice! Big Thank you from Vancouver Island. And very happy and healthy 2024 in couple of days...You are a true artist but also a great teacher. Lessons are so much fun I am becoming addicted!
Thanks for being forceful but relaxed in your teaching - and are sincere in wanting to be helpful.
Happy New Year 2024!
Great video. Thanks for all of your content over the years.
Thank you Steve. You are such a great teacher.
Painting a picture that is exactly like a photograph is never going to work. If you want that, then just frame the photograph! Thanks for showing how to create a painting from the photograph. That was so helpful!
Thank you for breaking down the scene , the layers and how to accomplish the foreground without using masking. Beautifully done!
Wow!! Love this tutorial. Your comments as you progress are so informative. Your eye for composition is amazing! Love the watercolor so much more than the photo. Thank you.
I love watching your videos. However, I love them even MORE now that you added a scripture at the end. Thanks.
I really liked adding the grass in front after the lighter and mid values. It surprised me but I think you said it let you know what the values needed to be there. I forget that you can add limbs from the trunk or come into the trunk, thank you for that reminder, among others. Cheap joes has a set of what they call cheap brushes, they have a yellow handle. For me they are great for lifting among other things. The set is great and it will be around our house for a very long time. Please keep visiting with us, when you are painting, it is very helpful.
Once your vertical lines, trunks, went in it looked beautiful. Thank you for that demo!!!! My Steve Mitchell set should be here any day!!
I do love the way of doing the transition between grasses and bushes behind. thanks for sharing these advices!
Thanks so much for the painting tutorial, Steve. You make the process look so simple! I’ll simply have to go burn more paper and practice, practice, practice! 🤣
Oh boy, Steve! This is wonderful. My Steve Mitchell paints arrived this afternoon, and I got my swatches done, and checked my paint box to see which ones I didn't have. I found out that there are five colors I don't have, so I will get those as I need them, and I will also put in the palette the colors you mentioned you would like to have been able to add (which I already had in tubes), then add a few favorites of my own, such as buff titanium, and burnt sienna, and Hematite genuine. I love that Princeton Elite brush you used in the video. I always learn so much when you paint landscapes. Each lesson teaches me something new. Thanks for the video, and thanks for the lovely Steve Mitchell Daniel Green Paints! The cover to the box is on my bulletin board!
thank you.
I take the photo with my iPhone then with the edit feature use the vivid filter and it enhances the colors to give a more interesting look
I'm using some of my daughters old eyeliner/eyeshadow brushes for lifting and scrubbing
That front row of darker green scrubs was a great but quick example of negative painting, it was a useful but different way to show it ! Thanks !
I love Moonglow. Also love Jane's Grey by Daniel Smith. Love your videos!
Thanks so much, Steve. As always, I really enjoyed your demonstration. You really sold me on the Moonglow and the Princeton Aqua Elite brush. What an amazingly versatile brush. I have never used neutral tint and I really look forward to using Moonglow.
Great painting demo and mixing instructions using your DS paint set. I've watched many Sterling Edwards videos. He might be proud that you called his brush "blazing"! 😀
😂
thank you for explaining your process so clearly!
I appreciate your generosity so much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge here! :-)
So much to absorb. This was so valuable. Thank you.
Love how nicely your paintings come together.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this video! You really explained how and why you re-compose a reference photo. I’ve been waiting for you to do this! Your painting turned out great!
Me: "Ahhhhh...another relaxing and inspiring video"
Continues to sip coffee and relax in chair
Video: "BAAAHHHHH RED X BUZZ"
Me: spits coffee
(But on a serious note, this painting is seriously gorgeous)
😂
I love this! Thank you, Steve, for another inspiring session! You said a number of things that were just what I needed to hear. Kudos to Wet Paint: I ordered my palette right after I watched your unveiling video. I received an email from them this morning saying they were very sorry but they sold out of the palettes in 12 hours and their inventory software didn’t communicate that message to the shopping software so they oversold them. The good news is they have confirmed that they can obtain enough additional palettes to cover all the oversold folks (me) and all those on the waiting list. PLUS, they’re sending me a Hahnemuhle Zigzig book for the inconvenience. That’s great customer care!
Yes, they told me yesterday their inventory system let a few drop through the cracks. Glad they were able to get more.
Nan Schifris I live in St. Paul and wet paint is wonderful!
Wow, great palette choices! I already use almost all of those.
watching your vid on landscape color break down and was pleased to see that you are using a Princeton brush. I'm a newbie when it comes to watercolor and blindly bought a bunch of Princeton 4350 round Lauren brushes. I've tried other brushes but I found that they work best for me. I like the stiffness of the brush since I'm still learning brush control.
love your teaching ...
I just have to say thank you for pointing out that brush was for glazing & not blazing LOL , I was worried that I had to learn another new watercolor skill 😀
😂
I like the way you layered your landscape , very beautiful painting , thank you for sharing all your techniques 😊
I learned something from you. You don't have to try to match the exact shade and blade of grass as in your reference photo. That really is helpful to me. Also, I too ordered the Steve Mitchell Daniel Smith paint palette. I am just awaiting its arrival.
The Long points are the absolute best. I can't survive without the Green Apatite Genuine & Jadeite Genuine on my palette. The Cascade Green can be fun, but I'd say that Green Apatite is an essential color for me. Love it. 💚
I just got email today that my Steve Mitchell DS palette is on its way, who hoo!
Where would a palette from Steve Brown? I wasn't aware he had his.own line. That's wonderful!
Great lesson! Thanks
“Got to be willing to burn some paper” , classic advice!!
Yea, this is one of the hardest mental issues for me.
@Jesse Jonah you’re right, nobody cares on this site🤫
You are very inspiring and love your beautiful artwork (new subscriber)!!!! 😊🖌🎨
Wonderful. The photo is nice but "What do I REALLY want to see?" You put your finger on what stops me from starting a painting and often why I'm disappointed. A photo is good but..... I can't seem to see what to change, shift, leave out in a reference. Also, enhancing the minimal colour changes in a reference . Thanks Steve, I'm going to try and see with a different eye.
Beautiful! Again, thanks for breaking it down into simpler areas. It helps for a newbie like me. Don't have fancy paints, but I think I can make do with what I have.
A B i g thank you ! From my heart, you are a wonderful adviser and teacher (: I'm rediscovering my Artistic S P I R I T, lost many years ago. Love the Sacred Words at the end of your videos. More good vibes from Puebla, México 💜🌌✨🌱🌎🇲🇽🙋🏽♂️(:
I always have trouble with the transition from grasses to the bushy stuff behind. I'll try this, thank you.
My cat just discovered what an iPhone screen was and was chasing your hand gestures back and forth at the beginning! 😂 I always appreciate your videos, and my cat does too.
I loved how you took a photo and built the composition. Composition is such a struggle for me! Watching you with your new pallet reminded me of one of your tips a few years ago, of using a Mr Clean Dry Eraser to buff out the newness. Great tip!
Thank you, Steve, for yet another informative, helpful and fun video! I get so much out of watching how and why you do things and am grateful that you enjoy teaching. Will be watching for the next one!
Your ability to transform a simple photo into a natural-themed work of art is always a great source of inspiration!
Nice
I ordered Moonglow while watching this video! Would love to see a video tour of your studio palette. 😁🙏
I love the Moonglow. 😉
Moonglow is one of my favorites. I’ve used it so many ways: neutral tint, stormy sky, glass.
MOW, you why I can't paint! Nice vid!
Love this video 👍🏻
Wondering if watercolor has grown on anyone who didn't care for it that much at first. I really want to like it given how portable and low maintenance it is, but I just can't seem to warm up to the wishy-washiness look (for lack of a better term). I bought a super cheap kid's set to see how it goes.
Can't wait till mine gets here.
Hey Steve...have you tried breaking in a palette with glue stick? Works for all palette types! Wipe off with a wet tissue. Prevents beading and staining on every material.
You can still do this to your own palette. A video on this glue stick method would be great!
Nice range by the way. Congratulations on having your name on a tin of DS!
Oh and glue stick stops the use of harsh abrasives!
Oh my.....great video of course, but just when i thought i had bought enough princeton brushes.....i reallllllly like the point on that.....and theres my favorite fancy pencil envy going off! I knew i could never have enough pens and pencils, but i never knew that applied to brushes too! My favs are ones my dad banged up and carried probably all over europe! The mileage adds something.
Good job, Steve 👍🏼 So many teach “how to paint trees” but fail. You did great work making it easy to understand. Thanks for that.
Wonderful techniques I learned here! I've been struggling with some sagebrush. Had no idea how to do it. These techniques are perfect for it!
Gotta crawfish: I was using generic 300 watercolor paper and some school paints left over from son's last few years at school. I was trying to make the best of it. I broke down and bought Arches rough & Cotman paints. Like night & day difference on the performance! Gee wiz. I'm in Turkey. Arches, as well as all foreign art supplies, have a 50% mark up for import & duty tax, but I bit the bullet and bought it anyway. As long as I have the money I'll never go back to lower-performing watercolor papers and will upgrade to better paints, also. I appreciate you not calling me out me on the silly comment I made a week ago. 😅
Great job and thanks for sharing your skills.
There is so much good information for people beginning to learn watercolor landscape painting in this one video I keep coming back to it.
I really like hearing you speak about composition, you word many things related to it very well and understandably.
I love your videos! You truly are amazing at what you do and I just love how calming you seem. I was never able to get art classes or even learn painting in school so just the wonderful information you bless your channel with is truly a gift. Thank you so much and I have learned so so much from your videos.
Great result and lesson. I love Green Apatite Genuine and Quinacridone Gold, I’ve just ordered larger tubes. The granulation is fantastic and really helps achieve an interesting look. I’ve got small tubes of Sodalite and Lunar Blue, and just ordered Hematite. Love Daniel Smith and in particular the many granulating colours as they seem to help the painting ‘paint itself’ if you know what I mean!
A damp Mr Clean Magic Eraser will easily get that palette in shape. Have most of your Daniel Smith choices already and love all of my Princeton Aqua Elite brushes. Lovely painting as always and appreciate the composition tips.
Thanks. Great and so inspiring composition your videos really help me as beginner.
Great straightforward demo. You explained your approach to the composition, value changes, and give us some fresh green mixes. This is all encouraging! Thanks.
I so love your videos. Loose and lovely. Your color choices are beautiful. Thank you.
Just got my pallet today can't wait to try them out with this tutorial.
‘Got the new DS palette in the mail today, and it’s spectacular! The chosen colors are great, some are new to me, and this is my first time with this brand. I really do like them...smooth and creamy, highly pigmented. I use Schmincke watercolors almost exclusively, but I think I might be incorporating more DS into my palettes. Steve, you have to do more of these or at least up the production on this one so everybody who wants one gets a chance to order.
Just discovered your channel and you're really inspiring me to pick up watercolor!! Thanks for the videos!
Hey Steve I was wondering if you have tried the PB16 or Phalo blue turquoise. DaVinci seems to have an advantage with price and gradation. It reminds me of Cerulean without the granulation and might have more value in my palette because of not being so opaque. The greens are gorgeous with it and it lifts well. Anyways just when I don’t think I add a color then I do. Anyways I really really recommend it. Lovely painting and I couldn’t agree more about practicing techniques. And I love to make my own Moonglow with quin coral, Viridian and French Ultramarine and put it in a pan. Somehow that corally color just causes a neat effect and increases the lightfastness too. I always love your suggestions and tutorials. They are very practical. Thank you and take care.
Haven't tried that one. I have M. Graham's Turquoise but its a mix of PB15:3 and PG7. I like it but its not yet found a permanent place on one of my palettes.
Steve, I have alway been in awe of Albrecht Dürer study, “The Great Piece of Turf” that resides in Vienna’s Albertine Museum. When I saw your painting on this page, it suddenly occurred to me that you would be the perfect teacher to analyze that great work. Where on his paper did. Dürer begin? Where did he proceed from there? I’m not suggesting that you make a reproduction, but rather, perform an autopsy. Thanks!
Interesting idea. I'll give it a look!
Received and swatched your D.S. palette today; I filled the empties with the pigments you had recommended in the past, so I’m happy and all set to go. Now all I have to do is learn to use them competently💁🏼♀️ Thank you so much for your excellent lessons.🙋🏼♀️
Enjoyed the video. I always learn something from watching you paint.
I need to trust the process more (yours and mine). In the middle of it I wsd like WHAT ARE YOU DOING???... Oooooohhh!! 😂😂
I do that with all the videos I watch. 🤣
Muchas gracias
I've been travelling memory lane today and just wanted to say that I learned more from watching this one the second time. I guess it all depends on the mood at the time. Thanks Steve. This was so informative and I love that sky and that brush is fabulous. I have to get one of those.
Lovely to gain some insight into your mind as you approach this wonderful piece :) thank you for sharing!
I think this is my favorite of all the tutorials I've watched! I love these trees!
I appreciate the explanations you give as you go along as well as the specifics about the brush - the info. is very helpful. Thanks so much! Patty
Great video thanks!
I just swatched my set! It arrived today! What a gorgeous palette! Thank you!
Please try and understand that I now have to ask questions about technique or colors used. I have macular degeneration (losing my sight). I shall try and not be a nuisance. Thank you all.
Annie from TN 💕
Love the piece, the pallete and that wonderful round brush. Love it.
Hey Steve thank you for this video, I'm new RUclipsr and artist, I'm also nurse and unable to take traditional art classes due to my work schedule especially in this time, how do you keep yourself motivated and inspired for your RUclips channel?
My first attempt at watercolor after watching SEVERAL mind of watercolor. Critiques please.
Well guess not. Don't know how to share.
Fabulous video as always. I'm still working on my acrylic journey but this video is making me want to try watercolor again soon.
My weakness is that I try them all and master none😂
Graceful and stylish.
Now, I am going for watercolours again, after watching this.
Here is one more 👍
This is amazing. The picture develops like magic!! I live in this area of Virginia and the picture is quite representative of our foliage.
You make it look so easy, but I’ll try it and it’ll come out a muddy mess 😂 that’s okay though.
Great advice about practicing the individual parts/techniques, that's how my Sifu teaches to train Kung Fu.
I ve been watching your videos from way back (2014) and I m grateful that you're still here sharing 🤗
beautiful!!
That was an awesome tutorial, thank you so much!!
I love learning from you. Thank you. I like to watch one video before I begin to get my focus on.
As an accomplished musician, 18:08 hit home - nice perspective.
Another great video. I enjoy your explanations, that really helps as you go along. Love your videos. Thank you!!
Bravo! That was so clear. It was really helpful to see how you organized your painting. I find landscapes have so much information that they're hard to simplify. And I'll have to go and pull out my green apatite and play with it again. Thanks again!
When are they getting more paint sets??
This picture is nice. I can learn from this. Your background to your foreground with your choice of colour. I have painted landscape, but changing my colours would be helpful. Thankyou
Hello ! Do you have any ideas why ‘sometimes’ when I layer my washes they can have a chalky look about them, (it does not happen all of the time) & this is why I am a little confused what I can be doing wrong. I use W&N & Arches paper ( & happens on both papers) and W&N tube & pan paints. I remember how happy you were to reach over 400 & I still get happy watching you that day, so I am thrilled for you to see you now have over 242 thousand subscribers! “It is because you are so dam good” Hey! I am going to join your Patreon later today.
Thanks so much! Not sure on your chalkiness but its usually due to a particular pigment.
I really enjoy the effortless point on that brush as well
Awesome video using your new Daniel Smith pallet. I ordered it and am anxiously awaiting delivery so I can practice while watching again how to do your magic
Steve Excellent as usual, I have owned his set for nearly six years, they are very good and generally comfortable, I find I use the 2inch very seldom, for them to be effective you definitely have to have good paper.
Thank you for explaining as you paint! This turned out great! The pallet you selected is wonderful!
Excellent video, I learned some new things and was reminded of many more. Thank you!
I think one of my best purchases from DS are the undersea green, the sap green and the moonglow. I have not seen a palette come close with the colors even with the new addition of DS their new sap green.
