    Steve, fantastic job! The effect of adding the tree trunks was magical. Everything just came alive. I also think the color scheme was very pleasing. This is one of those paintings where you wish you could enter the scene and start exploring. Definitely makes me think of fall; my favorite season.

    This is my new favorite trio of colors. It's surprising how many hues you can get from this limited palette.

    I love your videos! This one looks like someplace in Middle Earth (if you're a Hobbit fan). I have also noticed lately that you share a scripture reference at the end of each video, and I really appreciate that!

    Outstanding, Steve! I could watch an entire channel of just these. You pack so much information and advice into them. It’s a rare mind that can be free enough to paint in abstract spontaneity, while at the same time giving detailed analysis. Watching the foreground, middle and background appear all of a sudden from random blobs is magical! Thanks, more please.

    Months later and this is still my favorite painting you’ve done. The color story is just gorgeous. The layout looks much better than most of the paintings I plan out. It’s just perfect I think. I love it so much.

    If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would not have believed that some random washes were transformed into a misty forest.

    Wow, wow, wow. Incredible how you pulled off this spontaneous landscape. I worried for a long time that it wasn’t going to work, but, you are amazing. It’s gorgeous and mystical. Thank you, Steve for posting your always fantastic tutorials.

    I love those gray greens too. The violet plays well with those. Your painting looks like it's a rained (or it is about to rain) and there is a foggy mist moving in from the left. I wasn't sure what you could do with it at first and I am pleasantly surprised at how many tree trunks you painted in. It is a beautiful scene. So maybe, one day, you could show us how to make a rainy day landscape - how to show it's raining??? I wish that I could support your channel but I cannot.

    @mollypbfitz 6 років тому +6

    Steve, this is absolutely beautiful! When I first looked at it I thought, what the dickens is he going to do with this?? I guess this is a lesson for those who are still learning to really look and see. Thanks so much for this. It's wonderful and a real lesson. Don't stop the Minders'! I love it!

  • @brianashmorestudio
    @brianashmorestudio 6 років тому +1

    That was a lot of fun seeing you pull that together. Risky approach but you pulled it off in spades. I’ve never tried watercolor board, before, but I’m going to have to pick some up next time I’m at Hobby Lobby. Good to see that it’s PH neutral, as well.

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  6 років тому

      Thanks Brian. It does feel a bit risky sometimes. Its always exciting though. I got started doing these about 15 years ago because I was bored and didn't know what to paint and wanted to turn out something quick so I made a game out of it. Watercolor, at that point in time, then became a partner and less of a medium to control.

    As you were putting in your washes and your water spray , letting it run and mingle , I got worried (for myself) I didn't see anything, but as soon as you put in your "sticks" it all became clear.....I have a LOT of practicing to do......devoted to do this type of painting when I start painting again......Thank you so much again!

    Thank you so much for this video. Just returning from a week long workshop on loose uncontrolled?? Watercolour... I struggled with this concept... instructor said that tight painting was ‘old’ and too controlled, and very outdated 😢 I came home that evening and immediately looked for you on UA-cam - and watched your video on “to paint loose or tight” - oh my my, that made me feel so much better about how I paint personally. You were the light in my dark day more than I could ever express!! As a ‘tight’ painter, I really wanted to try and loosen up some. I absolutely love this video, because it is very loose and spontaneous but still really beautiful. I will be trying this today. Thank you so much Steve. You are such an inspiration for me. HUGS

    • @mindofwatercolor

Thanks for the review and tutorial. It's also nice to know that a seasoned artist like yourself, buys art supplies in local places. At reasonable prices.😃oh and I've seen that Waffle flower swatch used by a watercolor artist I follow, Lindsay Werich, The Frugal Crafter.

    You make watercolour painting look so easy! Do you have something in mind when you paint the abstract? I have the hardest time visualizing a finished painting from an abstract. Thanks for the demo. Love your style!

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  6 років тому +6

      Just that it will be a landscape and most likely have trees and underbrush. Nothing more than that. I wait to see what the watercolor washes present me with.

  • @liliawebb9377
    @liliawebb9377 6 років тому +1

    There is a little bit of white paper showing through on the right between the distant treeline and land ---from here it looks like housing and with a couple of horizontal lines could add roof lines; just
    how it looks from sitting in my chair. I've seen this before but checking it out again. Seeing something new each time. Cool! Really great spontaneous painting Steve.

  • @susinok
    @susinok 6 років тому +1

    It looked like an ink blot to me until the tree trunks were added. Than voila, a forest appeared! I love this. I will try doing one. I even have these paint colors, except for Neutral Tint. I'll use Paynes.

    @carolinewithers1647 Рік тому +1

    This is the first time I've watched one of your spontaneous paintings and my mind was moving in the same direction as yours. I was seeing the need for depth and the need to soften that stark white. I couldn't have imagined you'd make something from that mess at first, but it turned out great.

  • @marciabrown2

    Love love love this painting, and you create with it effortlessly..Just waiting for my first m Graham set to be delivered! So excited. I love how brave you are and confidence with your paintings. I never try and make spontaneous pieces because of the price of the paper. Also I can’t just drive to a store and grab some because I live on small island. I actually just bought some affordable paper called fluid, seems great, but I wonder how it would compare to arches..

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  6 років тому

      Its a personal choice. Fluid is a good cotton paper but not a favorite of mine. It tends to stain too easily. I've heard that many love it though,

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  5 років тому

      Well I haven't actually framed any of it yet but I would mat it and frame it under glass just like paper. A knowledgeable framer might have advise about the frame itself. Shouldn't be a problem.

    I have done many spontaneous landscapes, and well as abstracts with various media, including watercolour, and I must agree with you in the affection for it ~ wonderful things happen, no doubt about it!
    Honestly though, I've yet to reach a masterful point of watercolour, so am truly grateful for the pro tips you are generously providing, thank you.

    I loved the spontaneous approach.I am so inspired to get to the paper. With the weather outside being rainy and misty, I think I am going to try out some colour combinations of my own. I don't have the exact paints but I can definitely come up with something that feels neutral and monsoon like.

  • @angelamackay616
    @angelamackay616 6 років тому +1

    I just received my first m Graham’s.. and I have a limited pallet. I was wondering if I could premix the tubes so I don’t have to every time and also could I mix some with Daniel smith, if can mix at all..

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  6 років тому

      Sure but with premixing tubes its very difficult to see how your mix is coming out. You’ll probably still end up mixing on the palette every time. Yes, you can mix different brands.

  • @hartlanegallery
    @hartlanegallery 6 років тому +2

    Thank you for the fabulous video Steve. Beautiful job. It was so insightful watching the painting come into being. How would you frame watercolor board? If it is a board, do you still use glass or plexiglass? Thank you so much for all the work you put into your videos.

    @bonnieshapiro9180 5 років тому +1

    Love your videos & especially these spontaneous landscapes & whatever they turn out to be. I love seeing you demonstrate the techniques with this & I need to practice these techniques. One question I have is when you add the dark pigment for the tree trunks - Do you take the pigment directly from the paint well or do you mix thick pigment on the palette. Just wondering what you think works best. Thsnks

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  5 років тому

      Most colors are mixes rather than just the pure color.

    I love your spontaneous paintings. I have tried this technique and am pleased with how they turn out (most of the time). It is a good way to lose some of the "tightness" that happens when you and makes you see things differently. Thank you for your tutorials. Love your videos.❤❤❤❤
