Wow, there’s more “clever” stuffed into that 20 minutes than any other painting vid on KZread. Additionally, you’re just a natural at verbal instruction. Thanks very much.

Thank you. This tutorial was very nice and informative.

I guess we assist to some mind reading here: it's exactly what I badly needed to see! Thank you so much!

Thank you for your tutorials and your time. I love the choice of colors, tones and compositions of your paintings. Your sensitivity and intelligence make the viewer vibrate, which is much more important than the colors. The path you have opened can take you far.

Just came across your demonstration of scraping rocks with a plastic card. I think the painting is beautiful and elegant. I'd love to step into the picture and sit on the shore for a while gazing out at the beach. Ahh!

I find it very beautiful... Remembers me a zen landscape...

thank you so much for this tutorial. I have tried for years to think of an easy way to do rocks- I applied your technique to a painting of fishing boat in a cove with rocky shores- it turned out really well- thanks so much- really appreciate it:-) NOT being able to do this, kept me from painting many different scenes.

Beautiful 🥰 thanks!!!

This is stunning!

It was very clear just how moist and thick the paint needs to be to get the effect of scraped rocks. I noticed you varied the shapes and sizes too, which is important - it’s easy to make them too similar in the rush to prevent the paint drying. Thanks very much.

For a customer once I did a faux finish on one wall, after I finished and left she called and said a face was in the finish and could I come back and remove the face because it watched her. I couldn’t find it but she pointed it out and of course I fixed it.

Beautiful. Evocative creation ;the watercolor is put a random in brush haki?

Très très jolie ♥️♥️♥️

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Liked the painting instruction. Don't like the Big White hole on the border edge on the right hand rock cluster - Pulls the eye away from the centre of interest. Easily done, and in this case, easily corrected! Peace.

Oh that's wonderful, thank you! If I may ask one thing: is this doable with 80% cellulose paper? There is a huge shortage of materials at my local and non-local craft stores, and I have 300gsm, 80% cellulose, 20% cotton paper and that's the best they could do. Would it damage the paper if I started scraping?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥰

Im having some problem of the paper breaking up, does this mean im putting to much water and working on the area too much?

@LoisDavidsonArt

3 жыл бұрын

It shouldn’t do as good quality watercolour paper is manufactured to take a lot of heavy work. What paper are you using? 100% cotton is best, but quality pulp paper should also be ok, some cheap papers will break up quickly

I buy them brushes very cheap in Thailand

What size paper are you using?

Could you very kindly tell me how much that bamboo hake brush cost on eBay!? I've looked for it but the only one they have costs £11. If I could get a cheaper one I'd be so happy! Thank you for your lovely videos.

Hi Sue, I can’t find it on EBay anymore but I paid about £8. You may be able to find a cheaper online if you do an online search, I know they do crop up from time to time on EBay and Amazon. Sorry I can’t be more helpful, any large hake should do a similar job!

Sorry, it may have been Millford then but it says SW in the description below the video, and I can’t remember now. I’m a bit scatty🤔😉. Millford is made by the same company that makes Saunders Waterford, it’s another quality cotton paper made to be like the famous Whatman paper that went out of production

@anthonytaylor9232

@@LoisDavidsonArt Yep. Whatman was good. My favourite used to be Bockinford, but that all changed a few years back, when, I suspect they changed their source of supply. I was in contact with St. Cuthbert Mill, and they told me they had recently changed the drumming process, as a result of which, they agreed that the textured finish of the paper was, now, too mechanical. And in my view, it still is. It used to have such a beautifull random textured surface to it, it was an absolute dream to use. I came to it originally via Edward Wesson, he originally had a great input and influence on the Mill and its production. Sadly he is no longer with us - Happily I do have quite a few of his paintings! Peace.
