Plein-air Watercolor Painting in the Wind - Demonstration for Beginners and Intermediate Levels

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I’ve never painted in such a wind before, but the view was beautiful, and I only had one day left in Swansea, Tasmania. So I found a sheltered spot in the rocks, and did my painting. But there were a few times when I thought my painting would be ripped! Luckily it survived, as did I.

We are enjoying a month-long holiday in Tasmania! We are travelling in our motorhome, and we camp, paint and make videos as often as possible.
In this video I used the Joseph Zbukvic Aquario mop: listed below.
Also a wedge style nylon brush: Try this set, it looks really good: amzn.to/2Sur793
I have used a large flat brush from Reeves, called a spalter. I cannot find it online. I suggest you will find them in your local art shop. Sometimes that are used for varnishing.
The paper I am using in this video is Arches Cold Pressed, 21cm x 41cm, 300gsm
My paints are Daniel Smith. Their names are listed below, and I have a video where I show how I fill the watercolour palette with tube paints:

    Great video and painting Shirley under such trying conditions. I am in swansea today and it was so cold , windy and some rain however managed to get some great photos of the sea and the hills in the distance. So beautiful. Heading off to hobart tomorrow . Thanks for the tutorial. I love the free and loose style of your paintings which captures the beauty of nature..love to see your paintings of the west coast .

    Really like this one. Tasmania is so beautiful. On a map it looks so close to Antarctica, I always thought it must be so cold, but it seems to be very moderate. What a gorgeous place to vacation and paint, away from the flames .

    Hi Shirley, thanks again for your demo! I couldn't cope with that wind! Bravo! May i suggest bull dog clips to help keep paper still, i find that works well. It looked as though you were using Raw sienna not raw umber as it looked more yellow on screen? I love how brave you are with bold colours. Especially loving the water /boats scenes. Enjoy Tassie

    Hi Toni. Thanks for watching. Yes, my block of paper was destroyed! I’m not equipped with wild weather gear. Clips would be good. My raw sienna is very red. Raw umber is yellower. I’ll check! Thanks.

    Thankyou. My big brush is a Reeves spalter. I think it’s a varnishing brush. It came in a set of 3 sizes. From memory it was cheap, so try your local art supply. I’ve looked on amazon and I can’t see it there.
