Create a sense of space and atmosphere. Line and wash watercolor demonstration. Peter Sheeler

[@TheStarhorse1]

I can’t thank you enough for your tutorials. They are helping me so much. Your explanations for how to paint clouds and atmosphere are so straightforward. Most other tutorials I’ve seen made clouds look much harder. Suddenly, my clouds don’t look like horrid blobs anymore. And by the way, I really like your tutorial format with the music. It’s very zen. Thanks again!

[@mainman2192]

I love the 'less is more' approach of some of your watercolours Peter. Absolutely beautiful.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you as always MM. Peter :)

[@Donna_G]

I never get tired of watching you paint.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you so much. Always nice to hear :)

[@yesemitesam333]

I loved that. It is amazing how the scale of the painting changed as you progressed. When you did the "hills" they looked massive but very distant. All of a sudden, with the inclusion of the shack, the hills were just little rises in the ground and were in the foreground. I learned such a lot from that. Thank you.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. Always great to hear I've helped in some way :)

[@MMGARC]

Between your soft strokes of paint and your choice in lovely music, I am mesmerized in thought as I take in your wonderful creation. This is beautiful Peter Sheeler.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much Maeve! Very kind.

[@marilynfuller5718]

thank you Peter and greetings from a fellow Canadian :) your videos are another reason I look forward to Saturdays I enjoy and learn from them

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much Marilyn. So glad you enjoy them :)

[@happyfarmer979]

It helps me a lot to look at the finished painting while I watch you paint. I use my phone and my ipad.🙂

[@ladyshadow79]

Your tutorial of a simple landscape was the first one I had ever attempted and I have been hooked on watercolors ever since. Thank you for making easy to follow tutorials that even us beginners can follow

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. Makes it all worthwhile for me :) Peter

[@ladyshadow79]

Peter Sheeler You are very welcome. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@airenuevolibre73]

Con "Total Sencillez"este magnífico artista nos da una bella lección creando una PRECIOSA OBRA DE ARTE. Muchísimas gracias. Por su gran ayuda

[@AnnaZennaro]

So beautiful Peter!

[@helenalves3064]

When you were painting the sky, I couldn't 'see' it at all, but as soon as you drew the barn, the sky suddenly looked like sky!! Wow!!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Great comment! Thank you :)

[@Solaera]

I really love that painting. The sky is awesome.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Nice comment. Thank you :)

[@LeighPogue]

Simple and just beautiful. Easiest way I’ve seen to get this dramatic point across. Thank Peter and the music is absolutely beautiful too

[@PeterSheelerart]

You're very welcome Leigh. So glad you enjoyed it. Peter

[@rosemaryorser7052]

Hi Peter, just want to say how much I enjoy watching your videos, and that as a beginner with watercolour painting, I have learned a great deal from watching you paint. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with all of us.

[@dbrady6172]

Another visit for inspiration from you Peter...... it is just like watching a magic show every time!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Great comment! Thank you :)

[@whatisanAyesha]

I love your painting style. I just started working with watercolours and learning so much.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. Hearing that makes this all worthwhile for me :) Peter

[@steventaylor4919]

So inspirational. I have been urban sketching for a year or so without much success but your videos have made me reduce my pallet, sketch simple and loosen up. I have just returned from Barcelona with a pile of photographs ready to sketch, so here goes. Thanks again!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks so much. Glad you find them helpful. Enjoy your sketching. Peter :-)

[@speterlewis]

Look at that sky! I'm fairly astonished.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks so much Peter. I wasn't sure how it was going to come out :)

[@speterlewis]

The rest of us knew from the first brush stroke!

[@alisonhendry2928]

What a sky! I can feel how vast! You have inspired me to take out my sepia again as well as paint small! Love your work! Thank you for sharing.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. That is what I like to hear :)

[@macer-music]

[@jennym.9099]

I absolutely love this tutorial! I don't feel too intimidated by trying to paint clouds anymore. Going to sit at my desk now and give it a whirl, while I watch this tutorial again. Thank you so much! New sub here.

[@PeterSheelerart]

That's what I like to hear

[@michelfries1429]

Great sky and atmospherre Peter! Again thank you for this! 🙏

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much Michel. So glad you enjoyed it :)

[@dhirajshetty483]

Great work 👍🏻👍🏻

[@MissBooksmith]

This was a real treat to watch - and a little gem of a painting. it's a perfect accompaniment to my little glass of red😇. Thank you.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. I'll have to do a bigger painting so you can have a big glass ;)

[@MissBooksmith]

Ha Ha, I don't need any excuses but I love your paintings anyway. Also, if you do small paintings, you don't have to carry so much stuff if you are out and about. 😀

[@lessatwi1]

Another useful clip with brilliant tips. Thnx.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. That is what I like to hear :)

[@jaminamj295]

Another great 12 minutes lurning from you, Thank you so much !!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks so much. Glad you found it helpful. Peter :-)

[@lisaliteration2552]

You make this look so easy! I'm just trying to learn and it's definitely a bit of a challenge to get the hang of watercolor. It's fun though!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks so much. Glad you find them helpful. Peter :-)

[@reslerOE]

Peter, you
make it look so easily, and I wonder always where you get the inspiration from
to make such beautiful pictures, thanks a lot for showing.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. New ideas usually pop up while I'm painting :)

[@gurujad1533]

Impressively done.
You are Superb.
The sky is amazing. The strokes were swift and gave a real sensation of depth and height.
I have recently tried to copy some of your work to practice Watercolors, but I have frankly failed!
God bless your beautiful hands.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks so much. Don't try to copy the sky too exactly. That is almost impossible with watercolor. Peter :-)

[@gurujad1533]

Yes, sir.
I appreciate the advice.

[@janmay6455]

Love your paintings/drawings... very inspiring!

[@libbyfuntera8497]

[@jmeyer3rn]

Another tiny masterpiece. Sometimes it seems there should be little farmers or their children wandering the fields and working in the barns.

[@oksanatymoshenko8770]

I bet, as soon as we don't watch, they become more active and visible :))

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. I'll need a smaller pen :)

You are the best!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. Always appreciated :)

[@WrethaOffGrid]

It's so relaxing and inspiring to watch you paint, thanks so much for sharing your talent with the world through this channel. :) I particularly enjoyed this one, I was amazed at how small the actual finished painting is, it looks so large...

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. Always nice to hear I've inspired :)

[@bobtyghe52]

Hi Peter,
You make watercolour painting look soooo easy. Wish I had just half your talent! As a beginner, I would be interested to see how you set up your palette with the tube paint on paper?

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks Bob. The paint was simply squeezed onto paper and stuck down with two sided tape. I'm no longer doing this as the tape made a mess of my palette.

[@bobtyghe52]

Peter Sheeler
Thanks for the info. Each watercolour artist posted on UA-cam seems to have their own way of preparing their paints; yours was certainly unique hence my question to see if there was any advantage over the other methods. Cheers.

[@olgaberezovskaia6411]

Thank you for your job💪🏼😍

[@PeterSheelerart]

You are very welcome. Appreciate you're watching :)

Thank you very much. Sorry, I don't understand your question :)

[@lolaaguado3866]

I like very much.... all you paint it´s fantastic. A question you tilt drawing?

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you. I only tilt if I want the paint to spread.

[@funchitecture]

waooow perfect sky painting. Thank you:)

[@PeterSheelerart]

Great comment! Thank you :)

[@marylouniebrugge9174]

What is the difference between hot pressed and cold pressed?

Great video and art! Do you listen to music while you work?

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks. There is always music playing in my head ;)

[@lhnash82]

Beautiful. What is this music?

Hi Peter, do you have a video of how you paint people?
Thanks, Nan

[@PeterSheelerart]

Hi Nancy. I don't paint people, Sorry.

[@LeaGalTan]

My burning question today: Is it okay to use ink on top of watercolor? Apparently it is... Your video just made my day! And your painting is lovely.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks so much Debbie. Glad you found it helpful. Peter :-)

[@wandapelin]

Hi, Peter, I m just wondering how the hot press paper could staying wet so long time? Thank you

[@PeterSheelerart]

I totally wet it and let it soak in, twice.

[@agvaniya]

very enjoyable! I wish you did some narration as well :-)

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks so much :)

[@cameronmacfarlane3378]

I love your videos and I paint to them sometimes, but my paper tends to turn and bend when I am painting, what should I do to fix this?

[@PeterSheelerart]

Very kind words. Thank you very much. I use heavy 140lb paper and it wrinkles. Just part of watercolour.

[@afaelnar]

Hello Peter. I always enjoy watching you. I have a question. When you say your work is 5 X 7, is it the size of the paper or the size of the image?

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you. 5x7 is the paper size :)

[@karindogs628]

do you frame your paintings and how ?

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much Karin. I always use wood frames and glass :)

[@dawnsmart9444]

Thank you Peter, your videos are always so inspirational. Can I ask... sometimes I notice that your flat brush is separated in two (like two separate brushes), is this done consciously, or just something that "happens" and gives a different effect?

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. This happens when the brush gets dry. I do purposely use it for effect :)

[@edvaldol.s.edinho7102]

Great tutorial!! Had to mute the "music" again. Unnecessary, for your work speaks for itself. Thank you

[@stardustgirl2904]

The sky looks hard to make

[@PeterSheelerart]

This is about technique. Don't try to reproduce it exactly.
