I really like this very much. You’re very easy to listen to and so helpful when it comes to evaluating your own work. Seascapes are my favorite, having lived on Guam as a child. The colors there of the Pacific are incredible because of the reef. , I love the simplicity. Hoping I can achieve something like his.
Hi Nancy! Wow you lived in Guam! That must have been amazing! Ocean everywhere! One of my friends lived on Kirabati with his Mum, Dad and sister for 2 years that would have been an amazing experience! They were both teachers! Yes I love seascapes too! It used to be mountains when I lived in the UK now its the ocean! I would love a studio that overlooked the ocean or the time to paint at sunrise or sunset as that immediate response to the light and landscape is what I crave! Happy painting! Cheers Scott
Hi stone! Yes short break was lovely! Great scenery! Saw humpback mother whale and calf playing which was amazing! I love moody weather so a bit of that was great! Thanks for watching! 👍🙏
I do, I prefer to paint large and when I try to paint small my arm wants to swing and sweep the brush so it’s really hard! We are as well as can be expected here, my part of the country has very low rates of C19 at present, but that could change... thank goodness for art and nature eh? Take care and Happy Painting 😊🍷🍷
That’s good! I’m glad you are all good! And yes I’m the same. I find painting small a bit constraining! It is really good to have painting and nature! I agree! I will be forever grateful for your shout out! It was very generous of you. If you would like me to post you one of my paintings that you like just let me know. 👍🙏
Hi Yvonne, no worries. I am really glad that people find this way of painting helpful and interesting. I really love painting this way and I'm sure others will too! Happy painting! cheers Scott 😀🙏
Thanks Nathalie! Simple is great! I loved looking at many of turners little watercolour sketches in the Tate Britian in London many years ago now. They were just astounding at capturing the atmosphere of the landscape with a few brush stokes! Happy painting! 👍
Hi Brian, I know! That sort of experience and views are what drive me to paint! So even though it was pretty raw footage I thought it would be good to share! Thanks for tuning in again! 👍
Hi Mat, yes small is good! Quick, less pressure and like you say when painted well can have the same impact as large pieces! I will keep doing a bit of both! Thanks for tuning in again!
Beautiful! Did I mention that I love your voice?...your paintings too!...as a side job, you could be an hypnotist! LOL I live no-where near a sea but it's my fav subject! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Hi Helene, thanks! lol! I did used to do hypnosis in my day job but not any more lol! I do love the sea! I would love nothing more than living right on the ocean with a studio up the top overlooking it! We can all dream! These days that is my subject matter of choice. Always changing and very restful for the soul. 🙏
@@ScottSwinson You & me buddy! Living by the sea would be great! Right now, I would just like to have a studio! I live in a studio flat in Canada, just outside of Ottawa,
If you like wind and rain you should be in the UK right now! Can you please explain how you managed to not get green when you had a blue and yellow sky? Many thanks, I enjoy your videos.
Hi boo, it’s a good question. I think it’s because I brought the blue/grey mix in gently up to the yellow and didn’t keep brushing lots of times. That way they are more Kiel’s to stay separate. Hope you are doing ok in the Uk. I have friends and family over there. 👍🙏
Hi Joe, Yes! That would have been funny to see it running off the page! I did that once in Wales in the UK and as I was painting snowdonia it started to snow and the snow flakes make snow flake marks on the painting! Pretty cool! I think I still have that original painting! Thanks for watching! I will do a bit of en plein air at some stage down the track! In fact that is my dream to paint on the coast as the sun rises over the ocean on a large scale while a drone films from above and I paint what presents itself. Maybe a while away from achieving that but "I have a dream" lol. 👍
Beautifully done seascape! I miss my ocean coming from Philippines and now here in Arizona which is a desert. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I sure learned a lot. What is that thing you used to create those white streaks on the water? Does it peel off the paper?
Hi Jhuvy, thanks! Glad you enjoyed painting the ocean. It is nice to paint what you are familiar with but it is interesting for me. I paint what is in my immediate surroundings. When I was in the UK and Europe I loved painting mountains but now in Sydney there are essentially no mountains and so I am loving painting the ocean which is on my back doorstep. Have you painted the desert around you? would be pretty powerful! Thanks for watching. Cheers Scott
@@ScottSwinson hello Scott! Back of your doorstep!!! My dream place OMG!! Yes I did paint the red rocks and cactus it is because my husband loves them lol..but I paint waterscapes for the reason that I have been missing them 🙂
Hi Le Rebour, thanks! I used a mix of cobalt turquoise and paynes grey initially, then I used some paynes grey only then lastly I used a slightly darker mix of the cobalt turquoise and paynes grey. Sorry i forgot to put that in the description I will do that tonight. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for keeping it simple and sharing your thoughts.
Hi Julie, you're welcome! It is always a light feeling to work small! 🙏👍
merci pour votre retour !👍🏿
Hi Le Rebour, no worries. I just replied letting you know the colours I used in the sea. Glad you liked the video. thanks for watching!

Hi stone! Yes short break was lovely! Great scenery! Saw humpback mother whale and calf playing which was amazing! I love moody weather so a bit of that was great! Thanks for watching! 👍🙏
Really beautiful, it captured your response to the landscape beautifully, I really enjoyed watching you paint on a small scale too!
Hi Lois! Thanks! Yes it takes a bit of a mental shift to paint smaller! I don’t know if you find that? Hope you are good! Thanks for watching. 🙏
I do, I prefer to paint large and when I try to paint small my arm wants to swing and sweep the brush so it’s really hard!

It was my pleasure to give you the shoutout, and I was very grateful for the huge plug you gave me too. Maybe one day we can do a painting swap!
Sounds good! 👍
Just love the way you paint amazing beautiful Thankyou again

Wow, it's beautiful. I loved seeing the actual video of the area. That's my favorite moody weather.

Thanks M Giselli H! 👍🙏
I love the small size, Scott. Small pieces can have just as much impact as large.

Why did I think loose had to be done on large sheets ? I love this! Less paper, less paint. Less intimidating.
Hi S Liberto! Yes! That is how my mentor often got me to paint for years before I ventured larger! Much more fun! Good luck!!👍🙏
Beautiful... Thanks for the pictures.

A very beautiful place to paint. Is that a 9x12” ?
Yes it was great! That small painting was a bit weak but still good to put paint to paper! Thanks for tuning in. 👍🙏
Find and enjoy with my painting #sankarthakurvlogs
Should have done it en plein, that would have been interesting 😀
Great stuff

It’s good to paint what you love! It will show especially once you are comfortable with the medium! 👍🙏
J aime beaucoup votre aquarelle, avec quels bleus vous avez-vous réalisé la mer ?

Not a simple landscape. 😊
