- Unfortunately, it appears I deleted the sketch portion of this video from my phone/video camera.
This painting was inspired by an on location Pencil Sketch I did in Porto Portugal.
This was also a makeshift setup while I was away from home. The paint tray was much too close to the artwork and left no room for my hand.
Winsor newton- Yellow Ochre, Sepia, Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine, Sap Green. DaVinci - Phthalo Blue, Quinachridone Fuchsia.
On Arches 140lb hot press, Natural white paper.

Thank you for Watching! - Навчання та стиль
I just love how your choice of watercolors brought the pen and ink drawing to life. Thank you for sharing!
I sure appreciate that you add notes sharing your way of thinking & your process!
Thank you.
Each entry on a project, whether pencil or brush is well constructed from mental images. Placing paint dabs here and there ( sounds simple enough) is part of that process. Absolutely amazing!! Thanks for the insights.
That's a great comment Robert. Thank you and glad you enjoy them.
Hello,
I love your simple, effective style, I copy it willingly, because it fits me.
Thank you again for all your demonstrations.
I love your paintings, I've already try to recreate some of them. You inspired me to try the line and wash technique, I'm very grateful that I found your work.
👋 hi Peter, you can take the most mundane tasks and turn them into art. You are a shadow master, the movement in the sheets .. and your manipulation of a brush 😲. Thank you 😀
This one exudes happiness! You are the best, Peter! I always wait for the next....
+S Ray . Just wish I hadn't deleted the sketch portion. Always appreciated Ray :)
I really like this one, especially the tip on mixing the two shadow hues (phthalo blue and quinacridone fuchsia) on the paper rather than the palette. I love the bold freshness of this style. It plays with colour and says more with less. Bravo!
Great comments and observation. Thanks :)
I look forward to your video every Saturday. Every week Its like unwrapping a gift and finding a pleasant . This video is one of my favorites. Thanks for naming the colors.
+Patrick Nap . It's great to hear that. Thank you Patrick
Once again, thank you for what you are doing here. Your videos and annotations are perfect for the amateur painter. I look forward to every one of your new videos!
+Sandy Androsko . Thank you very much Sandy. Makes it all worthwhile for me. Peter
Love it!
This is so inspiring!! Thank you for sharing! I watch it again and again!
Thank you very much Marina. So glad you enjoyed it. :)
I like the way the picture is a sort of "fragment". I want to try to do one like that.
Yes. it leaves more to the imagination. Makes it more interesting.
I love watching your videos! They are all very helpful and inspirational for beginners like me. Thank you for sharing your art and techniques with us.
+cadburrry . Thank you very much! So glad my videos are helping:) Peter
I love your style. Thanks for the inspiration...I keep hoping I can look at something and get it to have a similar feel as your sketches/paintings. They are terrific!
Thank you very much Christine. Always nice to hear I've inspired :)
hermosas y espontaneas acuarelas, felicitaciones
😃 👏👏👏Buenísimo!!!
Beautiful, delicate and very inspiring. You have an incredible eye for detail... I enjoy your videos so much... Thank you! ♥
+R Privette . Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy them. Peter
Thanks for inspiring me to use sepia and phthalo blue. I've had tubes of these in my box for years but hardly used them. What great colours they are and how well they go together.
I will be trying this one and many, many more of yours. Love it.
Thank you very much. I hope you do give it a go!
너무 이쁘다~
Precioso!
This one is like a whistling happy tune. ..Thanks Peter
+Vicki Wood . I feel that now myself. Thanks Vicki. Peter
What a smart little study!! I love this❣️
Thank you. So glad you enjoyed this one. Peter :)
Génial et me semble pas trop difficile. Merci, je vais essayer.
Peter, thank you so much for your tutorials. I really love all of them, it really help to learn drawing. I drew many drawings by your video :)
+PrimaveraGullivera . Thank you so much! So glad to hear that. Peter
You make a fairly ordinary scene look so attractive and interesting with your clever use of colors!
+Judy Cozon . Thanks a bunch Judy. Very kind. Peter
Peter, I wish I lived just behind one of those windows with my linens out to dry. Your pieces ares so delightfully lovely. Thank you for sharing, for the inspiration, for the music. And, yeah, bummer about the sketch portion. Love your work.
Thoughtful comments Judith. Thank you :)
Aww my country, lovely work as usual
+Uru . A beautiful country of endless inspiration. I must return :)
Thank you...I really am enjoying these little vignettes and I am trying my hand at them. Thank you for sharing.
+Susan Bowen . Thank you Susan. Glad you're giving them a try. Peter
I enjoyed this so much! I'm a fan!
Thank you very much. Greatly appreciated :)
Ihre Bilder finde ich ganz toll. Einige, konnte ich, für meine Verhältnisse, gut nachmalen, aber doch auf meine Art. Freunde lobten mich für den anderen Stil, mal was schönes anderes.
Ich schaue mir Ihre Bilder immer wieder an, sie sind so präzise.
Ganz toll, danke.
I love this watercolour! It reminds me of Naples.
+elo maga . I've driven through and taken the train through Naples. Never stopped. Big mistake I think.
Great variation in the shadow colours Peter. Good one!!
+Chammi Kaiser . Thank you very much Chammi. Thanks for watching. Peter
Wow, I really enjoyed watching this! Painted my first watercolor ever today! I really like to use it! I like The simplish style you have
+Mia Cecilie Pedersen . Congratulations Mia. Glad you tied it. Peter
I see these in the streets all over Italy, always wanted to draw them or paint them, thanks, gave me some ideas !!!!
Thanks so much. Glad you found it helpful. Peter :-)
Love the demo and colors. I have invested in quinacridone fuchsia because of your paintings
Thank you. Great to hear :)
Good inspiration for my next watercolor endevour! Pencil sketch, ink and next getting the paper wet for a picture I took of a Tuscany italian window with hanging all kind of laundry. Thanks for sharing your art and experiences!
Thank you very much Pulaski. Always great to hear I've inspired.
Lovely the way you captured the sense of motion.
+Baba Knox . Thank you very much Baba. Glad you enjoyed it. Peter
Love this one Peter, the shadow colours really add depth to the painting. Have never thought of using those 2 colours, thank you for sharing x
Thank you Laine. I do love shadows. Peter
Laine Hadlow

+Charu Jain . Greatly appreciated Charu. Thank you, Peter
From Réunion Island i watch your vidéos and it is a pure pleasure !! And i learn and learn again .... Best regards !
Great comments Francois! Thank you and best regards from snowy Canada :)
Thank you for new video, Peter. :-) Really pity about sketch video, always interesting to look like you built the objects.
+Olga Sapozhnikova . Yes, I can't believe I deleted it. Thanks as always Olga. Peter
Peter thank you for sharing with us...I have tried to do same of yours watercolor...to learn with you... especially the birds that I love and same of natural landscape. I love the way...( excuse if write same things wrong ) thank you...
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching and following :)
Enjoyed very much, thank you!
+Anna Jordan . Thanks Anna. Glad you enjoyed it :)
I did this one a couple after the East Coast fishing village and it turned out better, though my colors ended up a lot darker, and maybe a bit muddy in a couple places. I'm going to try again with the nice brushes (instead of the ones that were handy, super cheap ones in a set of 18 bought to paint birdhouses). I appreciate you posting these, very helpful.
+doumkatek Z Oh and I used strathmore mixed media, I had a pad already, mine says vellum surface, is that a good one to use?
Peter: muchas felicidades el dibujo lo merece.
+Pablo Mieza Varela . Apreciado enormemente . Gracias Pablo.
Great.
Que bonito.....me gustó mucho como das los colores....
Muchas gracias. Tan contento de oír que lo disfrutó :)
Fantastic Peter and thanks again for sharing! I see that you used Pthalo Blue and Fuschia for shadows, what a great idea to give and bring vivacity to the sketch!
Loved the tip, but I'm far behind the confort level to mix colors directly in the paper!. Kind regards and thanks again!
+Pedro Ribeiro . You must try it Pedro. The two colours can both be seen in the shadows instead of just one mixed colour. Peter
Loved the subject and painting both. Working petroleum jelly into nylon or plastic followed by Dawn Dishwashing liquid in hot water will remove Pthalo stains. Getting all of the jelly out is easier if you get as much as possible off the bristles or palette with a dry paper towel before sudsing.
+Rebecca Page . Thanks for the tip Rebecca. Although, I'm too lazy to follow through ;)
+Peter Sheeler Mine just get blue again from pthalo in a few weeks...kind of a waste!
i m learning alot from your videos
Très sympa ces démos
J'aime beaucoup
Merci beaucoup. Tellement heureux que vous les appréciez :)
New subscriber here - I really like this demonstration. Beautiful! I'm very new at watercolor and I am so enjoying your art. Thank you so much. By the way I would really like to know more about your palette. It looks very interesting. Do you have another video explaining how and why you set it up this way? Thanks so much.
Thanks Laura. My palette is a mixing tray from a Koi watercolor set. I have set up my few colors with the ones I mix together most often closer to each other. Peter
I can see the wind blowing onto the linen. It's great.
When I watch, sometimes I think:"oh no, he is going to ruin the painting with this color. But after two minutes it looks perfect.!!!
Thank you very much. So glad you enjoy them :)
excelente vídeo - BRASIL
Thank you very much Edvaldo in Brazil. Always appreciated :)
Nice work
Thank you
I absolutely love your style and watching your work has clarified the direction that I want to take my own work. Who are some of your influences? I'd like to study this type of work more in depth. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. -Pete
+IllustrationsByPete . Thank you very much Pete. I started to work in this style when I began painting on location a few years ago. I had been painting for years so when I decided to try this style I just jumped in. Didn't look at anyone else work. Sorry I can't help more. Peter
👍🎨👏👏👏
I just came from a holiday in Portugal where I bought this type of street art in a shop :).
A great place to Holiday.
🌿💙🌿...
you are awesome
Very kind words. Greatly appreciated. Peter :)
I'm thinking I should try this one Peter! :)
+Wendy Varner . Please do Wendy. Don't try to copy it exactly. Add your own touches. Way more fun.
Ok will do!
Hello Peter, I follow you every day trying to improve my drawing and painting. I'm very new at this. First thing I do is to copy in a scratch paper the drawing to learn about perspectives, lines and so, then I find out my mistakes and go to a paper (don´t know much about qualities) that suits for watercolour painting. I usually find myself improving my techniques. Thanks a lot from Argentina. I appreciate you may give tips por new painters like me!
Hello from Canada and thank you. You are in the fun early stage of watercolour. Enjoy the journey!
Airing your dirty laundry again hey Peter? Ha ha! Nice work! I think a nice touch would have been to do the same painting but from your POV through a window with the worn interior window panes in the foreground. Cheers!
+Michael Wilts . What do you mean Michael. That's the clean stuff ;-)
wunderbar
+Khalid Hassan . Thank you Khalid. Greatly appreciated. Peter
Muy bonito
¡Muchas gracias! :)
Wow,you make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing. What kind of pen did you use?
I really liked this one a lot Peter. I in no way me this critically, but do you ever use cold press paper? I know pen and ink works best on the finer tooth of the hot press. Just curious if you ever used the other. I found a woman on here that paints watercolor on bristol board. I have no clue how she makes her washes come out so clean. I definitely find a hot press paper harder to use. You always make it work though. I love your little touches of yellow ochre. That is definitely a troublesome color for me. Look forward to more as always.
+Adam Wallen . Hi Adam. I rarely use cold press paper, but I should to play with the different effects available. I'll see what I can do. Peter
I am so impressed with the cute paintings I have been watching of yours lately. The laundry video was really cute. Would you paint some beach scenes with boats, and a light house. I have been practicing sketching boats as I want to paint some watercolor greeting cards. I understand that you can draw a boat from a figure 8 but I haven't had much luck wiyh that. Can you tell me easiest boat to draw? Dana
Hi Dana. Sorry, boats aren't my thing.
May I ask what you mean by weathered look? My watercolor paintings looks flat. I would be really happy to know since I want my watercolor paintings to pop out more 😁
I have been watching and reading the info section and I appreciate all the info on the pallets/colors. I know you use tube paints but I was wondering, do you leave them out and and are they dry? Best-John
Thank you very much John. Yes, I let them dry :)
Hello from India, Peter. God Bless You!
How do you know where or when to stop colouring ?...
Hello from Canada. I just get a feel that the piece is balanced and I stop. Sometimes I go too far.
Can you use pastels as a wash. Is there a way?
Which pen did you use before applying watercolor to it?
hello, what pen did you use for outlining, then it won't be mixed up by coloring? I like this clean style, and I want to try!
I believe it was a Uni-ball deluxe micro pen. nib .5mm
Peter Sheeler thank you for replying!!!!!😃
are you using tube watercolor? or the pan?
Always tube paint.
Peter, I was wondering who that strange man who was taking a picture of my laundry,now I know😜
+Craig Nelson . And I thought I was so indiscreet ;)
Great subjct, but no splatters? I presume you did not want to get the laundry dirty.........
+Bradford Yorks . LOL :)
Peter, can you tell me what you are recording with?
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Peter Sheeler thanks Peter..
One more question, how do you get them off your phone? Do you use an app or just a usb cable?
Cable or Flash drive or just pop out the whole SD Card.
Lisboa o Nápoles???
Are you painting on wet please.
Are you painting wet on wet
+doctorstork . Yes, a large portion of this was wet into wet. Peter
