Thank you so much 😀
That was awesome, thank you. More using the spray bottle please!!!
Wow,interesting and wonderful. Watching from India. 🇮🇳
That looks like a good way to do background mountains. If I were a more accomplished painter I'd give it a try. Nice work.
That’s a good sky 👍🏼 Very soothing ✨🫶🏻✨
Just found your channel, loved this video
One of the best sky techniques I’ve seen.
Amazing work love the water bottle technique I’m going too try this method out and hope I can make sky look look like yours so much more realistic than my efforts thank you great tutorial
Beautiful!! Thank you
Love this technique. Watching the watercolour do what it does is magical . I just found you and subscribed as well. Thank you for showing this wonderful technique.
Looks pretty cool...very authentic sky!
Can't wait to try this. Beautiful sky!!
Thank you! That was a lovely little, straight forward demo. I LOVE granulation and Ultramarine is one of my favourites for that reason, and in the cloud parts of the painting it looks amazing but I think I would use a non-granulating blue for the sky for a bit more intensity. I live in Australia so the skies are pretty damn intense 😆. Going down to the studio right now to try this method out but am going to use Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna (also my staple for good greys) but then the Cerulean for the blue. Anyhoo, thanks again. I loved this easy demo. All the best from Australia! 😎
Love those results!
Gorgeous results!
It's wonderful!❤
Really nice effect, will give it a try 😊
Vraiment très belle technique pour un résultat si naturel … je vous suis depuis le sud de la France

That’s outstanding! I struggle with skies and this looks like a brilliant way to make them interesting. I own a spray bottle but it’s the fine mist type, I can’t see the type you are using anywhere. I guess one with an adjustable nozzle might give heavier droplets? 🤔 Thanks for sharing and posting this.

Great suggestion!
Wow, lovely. I wonder if you could get this effect using acrylic paint ?
Wonderful clouds! So soft and realistic. Did you use stretched cotton?
Beautiful! I wonder how many times I'd turn it into mud before I got one good one? lol
Wairing for more, please.

I really enjoyed watching your technique! I need to get braver and use the spray bottle. I like how you use droplets instead of misting. I'm going to steal your idea! Hope that's ok!

Thx for posting … very interesting… I might add that IMO, the spray bottle has to produce a very fine mist
Very nice, do you use 100% cotton paper? Or what brand ?

Hello, this is Steve Krueger. The artist ultramarine blue will granulate like that if you don’t want granulation, try cerulean blue. Have fun painting.

Do you mean it's unnecessarily complicated, or complex?
