- / loisdavidsonart www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OwlsAndF... Today's demo could easily be used for a Christmas or Holiday/Midwinter card design, paint it then print out your small copies to turn into card!
It's a loose frosty, misty evening landscape, using wet in wet technique, and salt to create these lovely frost patterns across the foreground, unpredictable and very exciting. Why not give it a try, and use any colours you like, it would be lovely in pastel blues and pinks etc.
I used a limited palette of Cotman indigo, burnt umber and paynes grey. I used ordinary fine table salt, various brushes including the extras large and medium Pro Arte Ron Ranson Hake brushes, 3/4" flat brush and a fine unbranded Chinese calligraphy brush, otherwise known as a rat liner. My board is at an angle of about 45 degrees tilt.
My paper is 100% cotton Saunders Waterford, cold pressed, 140lb/300g weight, 11" x 15"/28cm x 38cm. Thanks for watching, and happy painting!

As always I’m enjoying your tutorials, and gaining allot of new ideas in my own landscape paintings. Thank you
Another example of an outstanding “less is more” painting 👌👌👌

Another simple yet gorgeous painting. I have been trying some of your past impressionistic landscapes and getting positve feedback from my other watercolor friends.
Beautiful as usual Louis! Thank you very much for your inspiration!
Lovely as usual! Your tutorial is so helpful! Thank you!
I’m going to try this. I love how yours turned out ❤️
Thank you for sharing your talent with us! You make painting look so easy! I appreciate all of your beginner tutorials and how you explain how and what you are doing. Please keep the videos coming!
Lois, the composition and its muted tones are magical. Very frosty and beautiful. Thank you!
Lois, your trees are always great! You have a knack for painting them! 💕
You are a master at theses 1-2 color abstracts Lois and i absolutely love them
Thanks for the inspiration!
We have been following you for a few months now, and your demonstrations and insights have been invaluable. Thank you for helping us on our watercolor journey:)
Thanks so much! I have subscribed to your channel
Love the fence and gate in particular, for its casualness and naturalness. Thank you for sharing this beautiful painting. Would give it a try.
Hi Lois, lovely - simple yet so descriptive.
Will share it with my students on Saturday.
Take care. Peter xx
This is really nice, Lois. Very soothing to look at, even though you can feel the chill in the air! Lovely! :D
So creative, takes my breath away!
So simple, but so effective. Thank you for the wonderful ideas and guidance.
This is fabulous! I have watched the video three times and now am watching it again! Bravo!
Really enjoy your talent and teaching. The sky is excellent 👏🏻❣️🙏🏼
Really wonderful painting demonstration Lois, thank you. I've added a few birds in my sky.
❤️❄️Beautiful Winter scene ~ enjoy your videos and instruction ~ ❤️Love the shape of the tree and I see the little bird on the fence post!
I just love watching you paint trees. You make it look so effortless! ❤
Thanks, when I first started I was terrible at painting trees so had to really work at practicing them
Thanks Lois, I bought a hake brush on the strength of giving this a go and I was totally chuffed at how it turned out . Awesome !
Beautiful Lois, Thankyou for sharing 😄
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
Beautiful, once again! I keep practicing tree branches and can't believe how hard they are to create! I shall keep practicing
Just beautiful!
Thank you for your inspiration, it looks beautiful! So inspiring!! Txs and kind regards, Els
Your monochromatic demos are always so inspiring and so beautiful…. I guess monochrome is just my preference 🙏🎨🙏
Excellent- atmospheric!
So beautiful Lois. Love the color combo and loose approach. You’ve been such an inspiration & influence on my watercolor. I sincerely thank you for your amazing, informative instruction.
Thank you so much Rita!
Thanks Lois, I absolutely love your style. Working on developing my own using your techniques.
Thanks so much and happy painting! 🙂🎨
You make It look so easy, but It is not! Wonderfull job
Wow! This is so lovely!
Thanks Andrew! 🙂🎨☕️
another beauty thanks once again for sharing
Brilliant images in your painting using minimum colours Lois, enjoyable video and inspirational greatly appreciated. Thanks stay safe and healthy
Thanks Philip, all the best to you too
Love it as usual. 😍 I have used one of your snow scenes as inspiration for my 2021 Christmas cards so thank you Lois . I do as you suggest by printing off and then making them.embellishing them with gold edges as per a picture frame.
Sounds wonderful 🎄💐🎨
Beautiful!
I like those colours Lois and the composition is perfect. Your last semi-abstract video I followed was essential for my understanding of using salt. I FINALLY got it and my version was satisfactory. Thanks for the explanation, as I’ve struggled with salt. This was another good example.
Thanks Barbara, keeping the backgrounds nice and loose allows small details to shine
Once, I failed using salt on my painting. At that moment I thought it's just my salts not working good enough. But now I think it was because my paper's too wet. 😌 Thank you so much, Lois. Your videos always help me a lot!
Great painting. I Love it
Brilliant Lois

Hi Lois, thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. I don't know how I can achieve a more gradated wash on my paintings. Mine always ends up either with those long teary streaks of water flowing downwards and with very little color at the top. Am I tilting my board too much and/or using too much water or maybe both plus something else. Thank you
Chère Loïs, vos aquarelles me comblent de plaisir ; aime toutes ces teintes tellement douces et en meme temps si présentes, si précises et tranparentes. La nature s'est si bien immortalisée par vos oeuvres, c'est un réel bonheur de la voir naître sous vos pinceaux. Merci .....
Merci beaucoup!
😍
Thank you for all of these. Have you ever used a salt and plastic wrap combination. Also different salt kinds. Table salt I don't ever buy but I do have salt you grind as you use it. Also how about ice cream salt. How about sawdust or sand or I used popcorn the other day.
Thanks for your feedback 👍
What fascinates me is that you seem to make something out of whatever pattern is made by the initial paint wash. I spend a long time planning the sky before applying the first wash so perhaps I am doing it wrong. The first wash always scares me. Should I take a different approach and be much braver then make the best of the resulting wash? I have a terrible tendency to 'pick' and fiddle with it
Thanks so much! I don’t always paint like this, but encourage people to have a go as it can teach so much about the way watercolour and water interact, but more importantly, to learn to take the unique opportunities that watercolour creates
Hi Lois, thanks for another great winter tutorial! I have a technical question for you. For some time now, I have had trouble getting fluid marks for finer tree limbs with a small rigger (size 0, for example). It's as if my brush doesn't hold enough paint to get a consistently pigmented line and I end up with what looks like a dry brushed line. Am I not using enough water? Am I being too stingy with the amount of paint I'm using? I'm using a standard WN Kolinsky sable watercolor rigger brush--is there a different brush I should consider? Thanks, Genevieve Hunt
Try more water/paint, but you may need a larger rigger, I like Daler Rowney gradualte riggers, sizes 1, 2 qnd 3
I absolutely adore your work! Especially this picture 😍. Are your pictures available to purchase? X
I sell some of my paintings on Etsy, the link is in the description below the videos.
Hi Lois, another great tutorial. Does your calligraphy brush have synthetic or hair bristles and although unbranded is there a supplier?
Thanks Tony, the hairs are real not synthetic, I simply do a search on Ebay for Chinese calligraphy brushes and then buy one that I like the look of and where the seller has good feedback
Amezing technique

🥰🥰🥰👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Do you sign your paintings? This is lovely.
Thanks, I always sign my own personal paintings, but I never sign these demos as they are simply tutorials and demonstrations designed to share online and not finished works.
hi! great! i wanna ask a questiin; is this hake brush is goat brush?
Yes it is goat🙂
Lois I mean…
Did any of your works failed..
??? I mean ,like...it won't go the way you think....Did it ever happened
I have many, many failures, more failures than successes, but I love the failures as I learn so much from them 🙂🎨 I only share the ones here that are okay 👍
@@LoisDavidsonArt thank you for sharing...I'm learning this beautiful art.. many times things are not going the way I think while painting...I got worried...but now , after listening to you, I'm felling good... ❤️❤️Tq
Beautiful!
