Had a go at this but omitted the red flecks in the upper sky by opting for a yellow ochre wash to create a halo effect. Thank you sharing the technique
Hi Lisa Lisa! (I assume that is just your first name twice! lol) I love the red too and am amazed how it captures that red that you see at sunrise or sunset and goes really well with the mix of cobalt blue and light red! Happy painting! Cheers Scott
Gosh, I love this! Your “playing with fire” worked. I appreciate that you share what colours you’re using, and other tips along the way. I adore the freedom and the boldness of your work. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Heather! Thanks! I enjoy painting like that! Just painting and not being too attached to the outcome and enjoying the process. I do love it! I loose time when I paint and suddenly ages has passed! Thanks for watching! Cheers Scott
@@ScottSwinson I can hardly wait to try some of the ideas I’ve watched on your videos. At the moment I have a cast on my right (dominant) hand, but it comes off in 11 days (and counting!) One of the first things I’m going to do is wet a sheet of watercolour paper and play the way you do. You’re a real inspiration, Scott, and I appreciate your generous sharings on UA-cam. Cheers from southern Ontario in Canada.
Oh my!!! What an amazing watercolor painting!! In dedication to your fellow artist at that. 🙏🌈 This creation is magnificent, Scott!! I love the deep red...Thank you for sharing. Beautiful!! 😘👍💖
this is really an eye-opener! I've never seen watercolor painted like this! These are very creative ways to apply onto paper, which is really impressive. Although I can't paint as costly and large like this, this is still inspirational
Gorgeous colour choices in this one Scott! So evocative!! Have really come to value the muted violet of the Cobalt/Light Red mix I can't make it work well yet but in your hands it's a magic colour.
Hi Starving Artists! Yes I do love that colour! It is unfortunate that cobalt blue is a series 4 paint!! ouch!! $$$$$ but I do love that combination of cobalt blue and light red and find it difficult not to use somewhere in a painting! Cheers Scott
Scot, I just realized that I haven’t been breathing normally through this entire video! This is fabulous, awesome, amazing, beautiful! I can’t believe the depth you’ve captured. This is definitely one of my favorites. The techniques you used were so cool. I would definitely love to see more like this. Maybe on the Patreon channel?
Hi Karen, one of my favorites too! I will definitely do something along these lines on Patreon and give as much guidance as I can. I will be posting to patreon in the next few days the unedited version of this painting! Hope you are doing ok. Cheers Scott
Brand spank'en new to water colors. Found your channel on The University of UA-cam as I was searching to learn what I could. Joined your Patreon and I'm really looking forward to learning from you. Your style and technique have really grabbed me. My previous experience is in acrylics, as an abstract and paint pouring artist. If my husband oks it, I want to purchase Jervis Bay. I'm really loving the atmosphere, movement and color in this painting. Just sucking up all your videos here. Thanks sooooo.... much for sharing.
Hi Sue! Thanks so much for joining Patreon! I really appreciate it! I will send you some links of videos that are good to watch to begin with to understand the medium of watercolour and some exercises to start with. You do have to learn how to walk before you can run in watercolour but it is a very understandable medium once you get to know it! And of course you are more than welcome to buy one of my artworks!! that would be amazing! At the tier you joined you will be able to download the high quality jpegs of two paintings that you can get printed for personal use! Any questions feel free to get in touch. I will send you a welcome message. Cheers Scott
Hi Scott, I'm so enjoying your unique painting styles. What colours would you suggest for the red earth of the Northern territory? Would you please do a tutorial on a landscape from there featuring the bright blue skies and red earth?
Hi Deanne! I am really glad you are enjoying the videos. Light red is pretty good as a red earth colour for up north and I might mix that with a bit of raw umber, burnt umber or another red to create different colours.
Scott-any chance you could paint some version of the picture shown over yr shoulder to the right? It’s looks really beautiful and I’d love to see the steps you took get to the final piece. Thanks
Hi Lulu 2! Yes I could give it a go! It was painted quite a few years ago and is modelled from a JMW Turner Oil Painting of the burning of the houses of parliment. I have no idea if I could paint it again! I could give it a go sometime! I'll add it to the list of videos to make! That painting will never be for sale as it reminds me to take risks and to just experiment as you never know what you might be able to produce if you just dive off the cliff! Cheers Scott
Fabulous artwork and very inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing skills, Scott - you’ve given me the incentive to shake myself out of the COVID creative block I’m currently experiencing. I’d love to see you paint trees in a landscape sometime. 🤗🙏🏻🤗
Hi Ruth! Thanks! For me I am often too tired to paint at the end of a full day at work as a Physio then dinner, bath, bed for two children then I start painting about 8pm. The funny thing is that painting gives me energy do even when I’m exhausted I have to remind myself of that. I have to say starting this UA-cam has really helped! I have to produce a video every week and do I paint! Taking the choice out of the equation has really helped me! Maybe you should start a channel! 👍👍👍 happy painting! And yes will do some trees some time! 👍
Hi Brandon! They are pretty cool to do on a large scale! And yes I would love to try and work out how to paint a moonlit ocean scene like the first painting Turner presented to the academy! 👍👍👍
Hi Scott. The painting to my right, your left behind you. I would love to see that. The colors look amazing. Please paint that again for us. Thanks! Matt
This is great, some interesting techniques. I kind of wish you had stopped at about 8:20, the re were some black trees on the horizon which looked awesome. I was shouting “stop there” but the rain must have drowned me out
Hi Christine! I didn’t wet the back the time but I have in the past. It doesn’t buckle because it is only attached at the top so it is able to expand in 3 directions which means it stays flat. Then I should probably pin it out so it does not warp as I dry it! 👍 hope you like the channel! 👍
Thanks. Is it only these large sheets that are only taped 1 side? I use a3 or a4 and every tutor wants all sides taped down, but l hate the troughs that develop. Ill have to try this.
Hi Christine, I do both. If I’m painting something that won’t require me to wet the page as much I’ll tape down all sides. If it is going to get saturated you could try only taping one side. There are no rules! Just consequences! You can decide! And you can do that for a4, a3 etc! You can even try not taping it down at all! Just wet both sides and put it in some glass! 👍👍👍
Scott, this painting you've made here is not only beautiful but the way you did it gives me confidence to make an effort to paint something beautiful too...! I can hear the gigantic relentless rainfall there, YIKES! - are you hopefully not in the areas that are being overwhelmed by flooding?
Hi dragonfly! thanks! I know some people say that I make it look easy when it is not and I agree that many of the actions I take are automatic and unconscious because I understand the medium, but on the other hand if you followed every step I took you would not really need to understand the medium that much to copy and then learn from that. For me I love bold, simple landscapes that are evocative and so I don't get bogged down in detail because that does not interest me. Detail does not speak to my heart. But colours and light do. Good luck having a go at this. I will do a small scale one at some stage so people wanting to do something similar but on a smaller scale can copy. Cheers Scott
Another beautiful painting Scott. Thanks so much for everything you put into your videos for us. Can you tell me what brand your cadmium red is? Mine looks a lot more orange...
Hi Ann! Glad you like the videos! I brand was Winsor and Newton artist quality. I have not used that colour a lot but it is pretty lovely! Thanks for watching.
Love the rain!!!!!!!
Such drama in the colours. Another favourite of mine. The sound of the rain enhanced the atmosphere!
Hi B Smith! Yes I should get back into a few paintings like this one again! So much sky! 👍👍
Had a go at this but omitted the red flecks in the upper sky by opting for a yellow ochre wash to create a halo effect. Thank you sharing the technique
LOVE the pouring rain "soundtrack"!!
You are very talented! Never stop! Enjoy your videos very much!
Wondeful artist. And great teacher. Such a gift in the world
Hi Karol! Thank you! This painting was inspired by an artist that I love named Geoffrey Dyer. A Tasmanian landscape snd portrait painter! 👍
Would love to see a snow scene with aspen trees
Sounds lovely Susie! I did a minimalist painting in that vein a while ago. 👍👍

I’m so happy I found you, your work is absolutely beautiful 🌹
Thanks Becky! I’m really glad you like the art! Thanks for watching! 🙏🙏
Very effective light on the horizon.
Thanks Robert! I really enjoyed this painting! 👍
The red is amazing! You have inspired me to try red in this bold way. Thank you.
Hi Lisa Lisa! (I assume that is just your first name twice! lol) I love the red too and am amazed how it captures that red that you see at sunrise or sunset and goes really well with the mix of cobalt blue and light red! Happy painting! Cheers Scott

Oh my!!! What an amazing watercolor painting!! In dedication to your fellow artist at that. 🙏🌈
This creation is magnificent, Scott!!
I love the deep red...Thank you for sharing. Beautiful!! 😘👍💖
Hi Liz! If you ever saw his original oil paintings your jaw would drop on the floor! Glad you liked it! 👍👍
I've been practicing this very technique. You sir, are a master!! Love your work and love your videos
This was fascinating to watch: I've never seen anyone approach watercolor this way. Thank you for sharing your video & your techniques.
Hi Maria! No worries! It’s a lot of fun and I love the simple but powerful results! 👍
Thank you🎖️🎖️🎖️🎄🎄🇦🇺
You are always welcome Fadi!
this is really an eye-opener! I've never seen watercolor painted like this! These are very creative ways to apply onto paper, which is really impressive. Although I can't paint as costly and large like this, this is still inspirational
Hi Danny! It’s a pretty cool way of painting! Very interesting effects!! I should do some on a small scale which would make it more accessible!! 👍👍
Gorgeous colour choices in this one Scott! So evocative!! Have really come to value the muted violet of the Cobalt/Light Red mix I can't make it work well yet but in your hands it's a magic colour.

thanks Carolina! 🙏
Stunning! Wonderful!!!
Thanks Lia!! 🙏
@@ScottSwinson you’re very welcome! Thanks for your videos!
You are totally welcome! It motivates me to get out to my studio regularly which is really good for evolving my painting! 🙏
Wow
Thanks Meera!
love it thanks for working this in with your busy schedule!!
All good! Time in my studio always feel restorative! Looking forward to seeing any images from you. Cheers Scott

Been watching for a long time now! Can’t wait to try some of these techniques! Would love to see a Turner-esque moonlit scene!

Hi Matt! No worries will have a look at which one you mean. Thanks for tuning in! 👍🙏
This is great, some interesting techniques. I kind of wish you had stopped at about 8:20, the re were some black trees on the horizon which looked awesome. I was shouting “stop there” but the rain must have drowned me out
Hi PWArt! I know! I did consider that! But I had a picture in my mind of what I wanted it to be and so I wiped it out.....😢
Lovely artwork!
Thanks Vanessa!
I have just found your channel. Your very wet paper does not look like it buckles very much. Do you wet the back before you tspe down thanks

what kind of paper do you use?
Most of the time rives bfk etching paper by arches. 👍
I don’t get a thing you right about the painting because my iMad is not working right. I like your paintings
Thanks Ruth! 🙏
Are you an Engadine resident?
Hi Cheryl! Yes I live in Engadine! 👍👍
Until a couple of years ago, I was in Daley Rd Heathcote.
Love your work! Would love to see what you could do with Karloo pools.
Thank you
Another beautiful painting Scott. Thanks so much for everything you put into your videos for us. Can you tell me what brand your cadmium red is? Mine looks a lot more orange...
Hi Ann! Glad you like the videos! I brand was Winsor and Newton artist quality. I have not used that colour a lot but it is pretty lovely! Thanks for watching.
Nice painting. Use gloves when handling cadmium pigments
