Hi everyone! I am sorry for missing a few weeks of videos! I'm back into it again and all good! It is great to be back in the studio! This is just a fun watercolour showing that you can just work simply and play on a small scale and see what you can come up with. It is still good to see if you can have some light lights and dark darks to make the painting work from a distance.
Happy painting everyone!

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)
I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.

Please stop apologising. Great to have you back. Sometimes, life just gets in the way. 😊
Hi Cathy! Yes good advice! I will definitely stop apologising! Too much of a people pleaser! lol Thanks!

Scott it's wonderful watching you. paint. I learn so much from your videos they are so inspiring. Thank you.
Hey, Scott. Don't worry about a mist vid. No one died. Love your work.
Thanks Marty! Yes always good to keep everything in perspective! cheers Scott
I have resently ”found” your videos and I really love to watch You! ….and try to paint the Way You do,
Hi Ewa! Glad you have found me and enjoy watching the painting process! It is always good to start by watching and copying then taking it down a path of your choosing. Good luck!
Looks minimalist but so so atmospheric and full of vibes! 🥺💙
Thanks Parsley! 🙏

Merci pour toutes ces vidéos superbes
Hi Shana! You are always welcome! Glad you enjoy them! Cheers Scott
This is lovely. And you make it look so easy.
Thanks Julie! 🙏
This is a little gem Scott. Thank you! I love they way you lifted out the lights for the foreground trees. What a beautiful balance of loose and detail. Glad you are back. Hope all is well.
Hi Louis! Thanks! Yes, most of the time during that painting I was thinking...this is rubbish...where is this going scott?!....lol. But it evolved into something! Great to be back!
I doubt I will ever stop painting watercolor 2 years strong painting everyday. As a person in recovery it keeps me alive, I may take it to an extreme though. Sometimes I paint to much if that's possible.
That is amazing Elli! I think as long as it's enhancing your life then it's all good!
Cool, I just spotted this live now! One thing I've noticed in your videos is how you use all the space around the paper. It gives you freedom of movement which gives your paintings that light and soft energy feel to them. I think I'll need to sort out my painting space to give me a wider area free of clutter.
I love experimenting, so this video is a fantastic inspiration to continue my haphazard but fun approach to watercolour. Love your work Scott, I'm always recommending you to others.
Hi Mark! Yes the freedom to paint past the edges of the paper is important. It is why most of the time I like to attach a single piece of paper to a board and the board is best if it extends out past the size of the paper by at least a few inches even more! Also I like to paint standing as it frees up my body to move as I paint which I think allows me to paint more freely compared to sitting. I appreciate many people would have issues standing for hours. You are very observant!
I love this one Scott! The depth you created with the tree and grassy knoll in the foreground is fabulous! Thank you for another wonderful lesson - less is more! The light and softness is great! No apologies necessary- we all love you and what you bring to watercolor painting! I am proud to be a patreon of yours! 💕
Hi Connie! You are too lovely! Glad you liked the video! Simple but still has good depth! 👍👍🙏
Good to see you back! I love your loose style and tutorials, - they are helping me find my own way in watercolour, but what’s even more important (to me) give me happiness with each of your videos. You’ve obviously been having a tough time……hope things get better for you very soon 🌻🤗🌻
Hi Sue! Thanks so much! I agree, like you say, the most important thing is the happiness each one of us gets from painting or watching others paint and to learn and grow. Thanks for your lovely words! Happy painting!
Glad you are back! I'm in the middle of your beginner class and I watch your videos every night to inspire and teach me new techniques! Thanks for the time you put into them, they are brilliant.
Hi Susan! It’s good to get back into painting again! If you need any help just ask. 👍🙏
Sretna sam što opet mogu naučiti nešto dobro...hvala❤
very nice 👍 Enjoy watching you painting very much! Thanks a lot 🌹
You are always welcome Vicky!
So inspiring Scott. So kind to do these videos for us. All the best.
Hi Miranda! You are always welcome! I enjoy them too so it's a win win!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome back! You’re an inspiration. I’m curious how you frame your paintings. Do you buy them ready made?
Hi Sue! Thanks! good to be back! Most of the time, because I use unusually shaped pieces of paper when doing finished watercolours, I have to get them framed. To be honest these days I try and sell original work unframed. It saves me money and the customer can find a frame they like that suits the space they are putting the artwork up in. It's much more cost effective to buy ready made frames you just have to make sure the mat has acid free paper and pulp otherwise it will turn yellow/brown over time. Thanks Sue!

Thanks Socrates! 👍
Por favor podría traducir a español?
I just checked and it should have subtitles that you can change to Spanish...let me know how you go. Cheers Scott
