"Sail Away" Part 3 Watercolour Landscape Painting Demonstration

Visit my bookstore at http://www.LearnToPaint.net I never get bored with this type of scene. I began with a weak Raw Sienna wash across the whole of the sky area. I then used Ultramarine to create the negative white cloud shapes. The darker clouds were put in with Paynes Gray and Alizarin Crimson. The distant mountains are a reflection of the sky colours, as is the water.

Loved this one, only just found it dont know how Ive missed it before when looking. Loved the colours in the f/g typically up to your usual standard - amazing.

oh my days, amazing, how did u do the 'YACHT thing? i see the credit card forms the shape ! but did u use white on the brush? or an eraser or something !!! it was like MAGIC !! WOW :-o ( im a beginner ) thanks

[WatercolourWorkshop]

@Sassybaby1 the brush was just very lightly damp and removes the paint when you stroke over it, effectively like an eraser. Thanks for watching and happy painting!

@TheMaineMariner hi, the brush is a system 3 Daler Rowney ¾ inch flat brush that I bought from HobbyCraft. I hope this helps. Best Regards.

[TheMaineMariner]

Thanks for your response...the brush handle appears to be short and wider than most, an ideal brush type for persons I work with in rehab...who can't yet grasp to hold the narrower brushes...if you could tell me the brand or manufacturers name I would very much appreciate the info.

@TheMaineMariner That brush is a ¾” flat, though pretty much anything would do the job for the sails. The brush needs to be only slightly damp, just enough to remove the paint from the paper. Thanks for watching.
