I had NO idea you can use watercolor on canvas .... what a revelation!! Thank you for sharing and for giving permission to use what we have. Today I bought 4 small tubes of Daniel Smith .... it was what was within my budget and I cannot wait to play with them. Thank you again for the inspiration!!!
@@KingdomDV Thanks for watching and taking time to comment 😊 For this technique I find that using a ground or gesso interferes with the flow of water and pigment that I’m looking for. Your Accomplice in Art- Lynda 🎨💖
@@sheilagilleland4312 Thank you! These colours aren’t in my regular palette but I love them too. Maybe time for me to set up another palette with these gorgeous pigments 😊 Your Accomplice in Art - Lynda 🎨💖
I love this. Yes the beaches are beautiful. We are not known for beaches in Scotland but they are the best i've seen and the cleanest as there's no-one there. That water is so clear and Turquoise until you go a bit deeper and it's very dark Blue/Grey and absolutely freezing. Glencoe and Ranch Moore is my favourite lace in the world.

Linda you impress me, when I watch you painting it’s look so easy to do beautifull painting. But I know is not, and you did because you are a very very good painting artist. Thank you to share
@@SuzanneBeaudoin-jb4eg Thanks so much! I absolutely love the process of painting with watercolour and have developed a relationship with the paints and water as well as my brushes and tools. I find that if I focus on the process and allow things to happen I am very often surprised and pleased with the result. I hope the same will be true for you as well! Your Accomplice in Art - Lynda 🎨💖

This is very beautiful. I have done similar paintings on paper with watercolour using credit cards, palette knives etc. Because watercolour on canvas would easily reactivate if it got wet, how do you protect/seal it - do you use cold wax or a spray varnish? Thank you.
Thanks so much! I treat all my watercolour paintings, whether on paper or on canvas, with 2 or 3 light coats of a spray varnish - I use a product called Kamar Varnish by Krylon - followed by 2 or 3 light coats of an Archival UV protectant spray, also by Krylon. Your Accomplice in Art - Lynda 🎨💖
Just lovely! I want to experiment more on canvas. Did you use a watercolor canvas or acrylic? Does it matter? Do you prefer not treating with a watercolor ground?
@@theresaavery4670 thank you! For these demos I use canvases I’ve picked up from our local Dollar Store and/or our big-box craft store. They seem to have a light pre-treatment with a type of gesso (I’m guessing here), but the surface is not as matte looking like it would be with a heavy coat of anything. These canvases are intended for use with acrylic and craft paints - but I find them perfect for this style of painting. I have tried watercolour canvases but found them to be costly and I wasn’t as pleased with how the pigments and water played on the surface. Hope this helps! 😊 Your Accomplice in Art - Lynda 🎨💖

You can find them on his website www.watercoloronline.com I have the one with 12 wells. They come empty and I fill them with Daniel Smith paints from the tube. The paints will dry nicely and are easily re-wet when you are ready to paint.

@@vananderson4878 thanks for watching and taking the time to leave your question. When I first started playing with watercolour on canvas I experimented with various surface treatments, including gesso. I found that I much preferred the effect I was able to achieve on canvases just as they came from the store. For the loose and flowing landscapes I found that adding gesso provided more ‘tooth’ and restricted the flow. I would suggest getting a few inexpensive canvases and testing things out. Most canvases come pre-treated with some degree of gesso and you’ll have to play around and find the ones that ‘feel’ right. Hope this helps! Your Accomplice in Art - Lynda 🎨💖

Very interesting technique. Didn't know you could use watercolor directly on canvas without applying a watercolor ground. Thank you.
