Hi Steven I love your artwork. You are a great presenter. Particularly you talk what your doing - a lot of UA-cam just have music. I feel I am in your class. Thank you - greetings from down under Australia 🇦🇺
The result was realistic and looked good........The mode you used was extremely different from other more conventional, watercolorists. To each their own. Thanks for showing us your unique method.
Steven....Ive been following your channel for years now from the start and its SO cool to see that you have worked towards publishing a book(s). Well done mate!
Please do give it a go and let me know how you get on. Yes it has taken a fair bit of practise to get this far but the more you practise the easier it gets!
Stunning! I love watching how you create these beautiful paintings. I'm just starting out with watercolour myself, I wi l have to get your book. Thank you!
It's difficult to assess as the paint is dry on my palette, it's not like I've squeezed x amount from the tube and then it's gone. Generally speaking I don't think any painting I do uses much paint as the remaining paint stays on the palette for the next painting so nothing gets wasted. Thanks for watching and very best of luck.
The easiest way to stop buckling is to wet your paper thoroughly all over before starting. Allow a few minutes for the paper to stretch and dry and then fix to the board using clips or whatever method of choice. The paper now shouldn't buckle when you start painting. Best of luck and happy painting!
just found your video! its great. So inspiring! What is that large brush that you use? I tried a cheap paint store chisel brush, but i'm curious about yours....?
I know they're not the traditional water colour paints, but have you used the lyra water colours at all? I'm just wondering how someone with more experience would use them. I got a set from my family as a gift lovely colours with good pigment, but not sure how to use them effectively as I'm only a beginner. Really liked your painting, you made it all look very easy and uncomplicated, thank you for sharing. Cheers from Australia!
No, unfortunately I've never used Lyra watercolours. In fact, I've only ever used the Cotman watercolours pretty much from when I first started so I can't compare. You could use them the same way I use mine if you follow the tutorials. It's more about the technique than the paints. Have a go and let me know how you get on. Best of luck.
@@StevenCronin thank you for a reply, oh well, I thought it was worth asking, I will give it a try, and let you know, if you're interested I can send you my experiment. Cheers from Australia!
@@StevenCronin thank you for a reply, and thank you, that's very kind of you, I've been doing a bit of experimenting the last few days, the colours are quite bold. Cheers from Australia!
I've 35 and look at Stevens painting every day to relax. Best modern watercolourist in my opinion
Many thanks Stan for your kind words.

Many thanks Monika to you and all those in Australia and very best of luck with your artwork
one of your best works steven
many thanks
You certainly get very thin lines from that big hake brush of yours. Those random strokes in the beginning turned out very beautiful.
Yes the lines work well when the brush is new but as it wears it gets more difficult to get narrow lines.

Many thanks Catherine and happy painting

A really beautiful painting thankyou for sharing you inspire me to give it ago..your brushstroke skills are obviously the result of many brush miles.
Please do give it a go and let me know how you get on. Yes it has taken a fair bit of practise to get this far but the more you practise the easier it gets!
Teaching us even more valuable skills. Could you show us how to paint a riverside scene with lots of willows?

how much paint do you use for a painting like this? It is amazing how it evolves.

Hi Steven,
Do you take lessons? You may be local to me.
No I've never done lessons but wouldn't rule it out in the future. Until then happy painting and very best of luck.
I'm sure I saw a fish jump.
