- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- I have limited experience painting with a Hake brush, but that's about to change. In this extended video, you'll not only have more to watch while sheltering at home but I'll do two spontaneous demos with a Hake, show you a variety of Hakes that I'm trying and tell you about what I've discovered while using them.

As I said in an earlier comment, it is 2024. I have been watching these videos in sequence from the beginning. All through the 2019 videos, I have known (hindsight obviously) that March 2020 and lockdown were coming. It has been a strange experience, a form of time travel. This is the first video that Steve has spoken of what we then were calling the Corona virus. As I listened, with the perspective of four years, and the grace of having not gotten the virus (grace and super precautions!), I teared up as I heard what Steve had to say. The encouragement, the warmth, the caring, the understanding. I didn’t know, in 2020, that my brother would die from COVID in 2022. None of us knew how many we’d lose. I need the compassion and gentleness that I hear in this video as much today as I ever did. Thank you Steve, for being the person you are. Oh - and in honor of Reese, I’d have named Graham, Peanut! Sorry, Graham, but you are little!
😢❤️
I recently stumbled across your channel, and I have been binge watching. I have been water color painting, on and off, for the past 50+ years as a hobby, an escape from my high stress job drafting. Now that I am retired, you offer a whole new perspective into a world of artistic expression; I really appreciate it.
My game right now is to see how many "silver linings" I can find in a day - like an extra long video from Steve!!! Thanks for your generosity!
This popped up on my UA-cam again. I can't believe I watched this the first time round. God dragged me across UA-cam to a great pastor (Chris Rosebrough)whose videos He used to open my eyes and at the same time He introduced me to your videos. There were days I needed to see those verses at the end of every video. Thanks for your hard work, it's helped me develop my skills a lot.
I’ve been watching your videos and learning tons. I’ve watched other teaching watercolor videos and you are the BEST!!!! Such a good job of explaining as you go. Sometime I need to stop watching and put it all into practice 🤣♥️🐸
Told my BFF from high school that we survived the 70s in our teens and we have WAY more common sense now so we just need to hunker down and wait it out. Videos like this help SO MUCH so thank you!
flychk1229 well said 🌺😂
Bless you for your calmness. Your kindness speaks volumes. Thank you Steve Mitchell. You truly are a heaven sent.
Hooley Dooley- That's an amazing collection of Hake brushes! I love watching you paint your landscapes. 'Big to small, big to small'- is so important. You remind me of a drawing teacher of mine saying over and over, 'Broad to specific, always work broad to specific'. Thanks so much for all of the useful information Steve. Stay safe and well.
Thanks so much for the kind comments Louise. Big to small is always such a reminder to myself. I struggled with it over the years because I like to jump to the details. Take care.
Louise De Masi you should come on live too
Found you only in March 2024 - better late than never.
Glad to learn about « Hake » brushes … did not know that was how they were called.
I noticed that You have refined artistic hands - quite pleasant to look at.
After all, you have been / remain a designer-illustrator with a 30 year career.
It shows in your hands.
Thank you for sharing your new learning with us.
Looking forward to discovering your channel …
Post scriptum : your hands remind me of those of a pianist.
A classical pianist, perhaps ? ! !
We in Italy are very affected by this problem, the solution to overcome certain days is precisely what you have indicated to us. Take advantage of the opportunity to stay at home to engage in activities that we generally don't have time to do. We seek the best from any eventuality! Thanks again Steve
Hello from Italy, Steve:
Love your videos and have learned so much...Thank you! I was given a hake from my Aunt who is an artist, but until now haven't know how to use except as a wash brush, so this was so valuable. My husband and I retired to central Italy, some years ago. This is a beautiful country full of beautiful kind people and I want to paint it all. Most Italians have been very diligent , cautious and have tried to help each other, so we feel very safe here.The Italian quarantine is not finished until the first week of May (unless they decided to continue it), but banks and some other businesses are opening on a limited basis this week. Our numbers are continuing to drop daily....because we have followed the rules and stayed home. Yes, folks there is a an end coming, but hang in there and be smart, wise, and stay informed. No better way to spend this time than to practice watercolors and hone your skills with Steve. In the meantime, I have included a video by an Italian pop artist Roby Santini, The Song title is Andra Tutto Bene, which means everything will be good or fine...hope you enjoy it. He made it from home. ua-cam.com/video/fVOKUI5T-fY/v-deo.html Stay well everyone
I bought one of these brushes about a year ago and found it so difficult to use because of the amount of water it holds that I haven't used it more than once or twice. I found this video really very interesting and love the blending effect you got there to make the background look misty. I love that!
I really appreciate the time you've taken to create a longer video in this time. I live in Northern Italy and it's a really scary time. Watching videos like yours in this time helps a lot to take my mind off the reality of the situation all around me.Thanks a lot for your great quality content Steve!
Wow, that is quite the selection! Agreed...no fear mongering, no politics, just love and support. I don’t mind being home alone, but right now I am in very early recovery from total knee replacement surgery. I appreciate your art, your humor, and your approach. Thank you Steve.
Pausing before I start watching because the number of hake brushes made me laugh, thank you for your uplifting attitude and for allowing me to feel normal about how many art supplies I need. Now getting some sake to watch your hake video.
😆
You say potato I say potato 😂😂😂
Thank you Steve, I am a nurse and UA-camr. I am new to art. I use my UA-cam channel to teach myself art. I live in the country of Belize and the COVID19 hysteria is here too. I cant stay home but when I am home I use my art and UA-cam to keep my mind off what is going on outside. Thank you so much for using your platform to guide and a welcome distraction. Stay safe, wash your hands, keep your distance from eyes, ears, mouth and people.
Sending a virtual hug to all, remember that none of this is beyond God's ability to bring us through. Isn't it great that He gifted us with color and art. Stay safe and get more painting in!
YES!
Thanks for getting back so soon. I’ve never used it and hoping you could advise. I live in upstate NY and we have months of inside time, so a lot of time to paint. Absolutely love what you do and how you get there. Wish you were closer so I could take a workshop. We’ve had Steven Quiller, John Salminen, etc. up here. We have the National Warercolor show near here every August. Peace to you.
Dear Steve, Thank you so much for all you are doing and I thank God for your life. I am a hobby watercolour painter recently turned to acrylic and without your videos I don't think i would be going through the pandemic as easy as I am, although tested positive in December along with my whole household we came out of it all clear so thank God for that to. I was only introduced to art in 2011 just 2 years after retiring and it was the saving of me. Now at 77 yrs old I find myself with a whole new life. I have used many tutorial sites and there are many but since I found yours it has become my main goto site for art help but also for relaxing. I live in Ireland just north of Dublin and find it great that I can go all the way to yours without moving from my chair. I liked what you said about keeping the comments clear of politics and other annoying subjects. Be Happy, Be Arty and pray to God. God Bless you. Sorry for the longwinded post
Thank you Steve, always look forward to seeing your tutorials, i am currently doing a 14 day Isolation art challenge and enjoying it also talking the the many people all over the world taking part, no matter what their ability! xxx
We started staying as isolated as possible about a week and a half ago, and among other things we do to keep busy and interested, is to spend extra time in our livingroom-turned-art-studio painting. This Mind of Watercolour channel is my favourite art channel, and I have been looking daily for the latest video - boy, was I ever thrilled to see it posted this morning. And hake brushes are something I have not been able to get the hang of, so this particular topic is doubly welcome. Thanks so much for brightening our lives with your videos - keep them coming!
Thank you, Steve for your upbeat words of encouragement. Most of the you tube artists I follow are being so very generous offering additional or longer videos. The art world really comes together in times like these. I enjoyed your extra long video....I always have enjoyed any videos you offer....always learn something. I have one, 2" Hake brush by Richeson. It keeps a nice chiseled edge. I
guess I'm going to have a try at making a landscape with it. If it doesn't work out, it's okay; at least it will keep me occupied.
God bless you and your family and stay safe.
Appreciated your earlier comments earlier and totally agree. Love this landscape. Glad I found your sight!
thank you so much for the message of support again THANK YOU
YAY! We're on lockdown in Scotland for the next 3 weeks and this is the sort of wonderful video that I'll be spending a lot of my time watching. I find your narrative soothing and your painting amazing. Thank you for doing this for us.
Being at home is no struggle as I grew up entertaining myself and keeping busy so it feels no different to do so now. All I've been hearing is this virus and I'm with you Steve, let's all think happy and positive, work together on the problem and be smart about it. The last 6 years have been difficult so I'm anxious to recover and find joy in life again through art and creativity. It's the best way to pull out of a funk and you helped look in new directions for inspiration and ideas on how to go about this, so thanks for that. It's fun watching you work outside your comfort zone too. Old dog be danged, you've got this down and you wear it well. ❤️
thank you for your positive approach. We're in our third lockdown here in UK and I have really enjoyed your channel. It has kept me sane and motivated and additionally given me loads of new ideas to painting with watercolour. Hakes have always been a challenge and your approach has been a real highlight. Thank you.
Steve you know I have been watching for a long time. I think this intro and hake brush demo was one of your best. Your words of encouragement and comments right on, and how did you know this subject was just what I wanted. As always keep making the videos and take care we all need you in the watercolor community.
Thank you for your wonderful and positive words!
Thank you Steve, magical as always with a lovely dollop of generosity to top it all off! Stay safe!
Knowing schools were gearing up to close here in Minnesota (I'm a teacher in a tiny NW MN town) and I'd have a fair amount of free time, I stopped by my nearest art supply store during my last big supply run and finally bought a pad of Arches paper, even though I had half a pad of Strathmore 300 still on my shelf. I'm a pretty raw beginner and last fall I just started putting the paint I could afford on paper my kids had left over from a school project.
Wow, are you ever right about 100% cotton paper. I had a blast swatching my (student grade) colors, experimenting with washes and using WAY more water than I'm used to. I even pulled out a sheet of Strathmore and did the same thing so that I could really see a good comparison. I'm so excited to keep working on that Arches to see what I can do!
I know what you mean! When I finally got Arches 3+ years ago I was scared to use it because it felt too "special," but it's so much better for the sort of traditional watercolor I like to do.
Enjoy your videos. They keep me out of my head and I’m painting again!! 💛🦋🌸
Hi From Dublin in Ireland, im new to watercolours, so i found this very helpful, MRS Jo Smith you and your family are in my prayers, as is everyone in this bad times.
The first painting had a real Southwest feeling to me. I have watched Cronin before and still cannot figure out how he turns his messy palette and speed painting into things so lovely. Your second full painting was awesome.
Hey Janet, same here, I am amazed every time I watch Cronin. How did he pull that out? Lol.
@@annettefournier9655 Lots and lots of practice, Annette!!! 😊
@@cassiescreations9828 🤩
Your painting is delightful. Just what we need in this time of stress. Thank you.
I loved and appreciated your video on the Hake brush. I have watched Steve C and David A and had difficulty reproducing their style because the speed with which they work. Yours was much more relaxed. Thank you.
Watch JOE MENZA use a hake brush. He's only been painting for about 3 years, and uses a limited palette. I ordered Ron Ranson brushes a few weeks ago. I'm praying that during this time ppl start to really enjoy "family time". I'm a retired RN who is very compromised, BUT I plan on visiting my 2 young granddaughters by sitting outside..keeping distance..and just enjoy watching them do all the goofy things Lil ones do. I'm going to visit all my kids this way. It's amazing how creative humans are right now. Utube has great ideas for how to entertain kids. As an RN I never panic.. just remember that we are all on this new journey together, and with common sense..we WILL get through this. TY Steve for this video..everybody just needs to breath. Us painters now have extra time to paint..so enjoy, relax, and let watercoloring b your escape.
Excellent message, thanks Kathee!
Thanks for the mention Kathee!
I'm from Canada and thought everyone was saying hockey brush till you said hake. A challenging change as I mainly use a number 6 round.
Omgoddess I also thought he was saying hockey also in a prior tutorial so I pulled this up to see what was up.. even tho I live in USA . I live close by canada also so when I hear hockey my ears perked up love hickey🏒, I'm just beginning my art journey and I'm taking a lot of tutorials I've made a bad$ 20 choice by buying acrylic brushes in set thinking there was no difference learn the hardway.. 😂then I found that Anne kerns video she only uses three brushes one was a hake brush so if your on a tight budget for your art journey her videos are some good learning videos... I quite enjoy the mind of watercolor channel also...sometimes i get a bit overwhelmed by info due to being a beginner but just trying to buy the right few brushes for my income without making anymore finical mistakes...stay safe.. love Canada wish i could visit again..mikelle newyork mom👩🎨🎨😷👋
Love love love your instruction. Thank you for your positive and encouraging commentary 🙏 😀
Lois Davidson is a great hake brush painter. Much better than some others, I believe.
Thank you for your generosity and Stau Safe and healthy
Steve, this was the perfect video for a peaceful Sunday morning at home. "The Mind of Watercolor" and other artist channels are good ways to escape from the chaos and hysteria. I appreciate your thoughts at the beginning, and thanks for the extended length. I know that takes some extra effort on your part.
Watching you paint is mesmerizing! What a misty, magical landscape this is! Thank you for bringing beauty into our troubled time. You are a good soul and a wonderful artist. Bless you.
Thank you for sharing your kindness and your humanity with us along with your art expertise.
I love following you, I’ve learned so much! I paint with you everyday!
thank you for the positive comments and encouragement! I Painted watercolors about 10 years ago so it’s been really gratifying to start again and find an amazing teacher like you! Thank you thank you thank you!
Thanks so much for keeping me company during this time. We will get through this; just take care of others as well as yourself. God bless us all!
Thank you for keeping normalcy. Beautiful landscape. 💜💜
And during this stretch of time indoors, it gives us opportunity, blessings, to be inside with our art, our family, and to live, love, and pray for a greater day!
It was Ron Ranson's books that got me interested in the Hake brush. So cool to see you experimenting with them as well.
Enjoying Art channel with Yong Chen. He paints only with Hake brush and calligraphy brush.
The painting community is awesome! We will get through this together quicker, when everyone does their part and is responsible! Cheers from Canada! We will have a great big party, when this is over. Bless your heart Steve, your videos make a difference!
Water color is the best way to be positive. Thank you for your educational channel. Wonderful staff. 😀
Beautiful distraction from our current situation. Reminds me of Psalm 91, hiding beneath His wings. Thank you Steve.
Thanks Steve, God protect you and yours. Ideal time to do a bit of watercolouring.
More now than ever, thank you so much for creating and putting such a thoughtful and inspiring site on the web. I am so glad to be here. Thanks for what you do Steve.
Dang, Steve! I don't know how you do it. You can take drippy watercolors and make a masterpiece out of it. I have a few hake brushes and think I'll give it a try. Thank you so much for the long video. Hope there's more coming. Stay safe.
I just saw this video for the first time today, I think. At least, I think so. I love it, and the Tolkien reference, too.
Thank you for keeping things positive. We need to stay uplifted and positive because we are artists and we have the gift, the power, to create, so let's create! Not tear down!
I’m very pleased to see someone besides Steve Cronin use the hake. He got me to buy my first Ron Ranson hake brush. I learned some techniques with Cronin but the hake didn’t become one of my go-to brushes. Now you’ve shown me some new/different ways to incorporate, thank you!
The art community is the best! Very positive and uplifting to each other and anyone else that wants to see! Love it.
Thank you for showing the hake brush - what a fabulous experiment!
After a short foray to the drug store and the grocery store, I was feeling a little put out by the snippy replies I received from the cashier at the grocery store, but I did not respond back in a bad way! Thank goodness! She was probably younger than I am but with totally white hair same as me. On the drive home, it came to me how fortunate I am that I can follow the stay at home order and not have to get out and work during this time and so I'm feeling a little put out with myself now for the feelings I had. We are all in this together and need to be kind to one another. Thank you for your generous sharing of your talent, and for your thoughts! I remember watching Ron Ranson years ago on a PBS channel and I was fascinated with his use of these brushes! I really appreciated this video! :)
Thank you for your positivity, Steve. What we need more than ever are acts of beauty, kindness, courage, connectedness. Art is such a great means of coping with anxiety, fear, a sense of powerlessness. Thanks for just bring true to you and doing your part. And prayers to all viewers around the world for health and safety, sanity and friendship.
I'm so glad you mentioned the Dead Marshes because that's exactly what I imagined this to be as you painted!
Thanks for the encouragement at the beginning of this video to be positive--hopefully, we are on our way to healing. I am grateful to have videos like yours to occupy myself and learn to paint more effectively. We are so fortunate to have our interest in art during this time (and at any time).
During this time of anxiety we have more opportunity to learn and experiment with new brushes and ideas . we in the UK are thinking and praying for you all . Thank you Steve for helping us to take our minds off this time and giving us encouragement . I am in the age group which is in the danger zone and being diabetic does not help . But my painting and listening to you ,helps me greatly .May our Lord bless you and all your loved ones and keep you safe
Thank you. My love watercolor and your videos have helped me stay sane during these rough times
Thank you for taking the time to comfort and share your talents with others. Choose faith in the face of fear... from Nova Scotia.
Stay healthy Steve, thanks for this video.
One of the best instructors on watercolour around... thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and talent... I absolutely love your style it’s so unique
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for some extra tranquility today.
GOD BLESS YOU STEVE! You really have been a huge positive in my life & I want to thank you. I did very little watercolor in college but hadn't done any for about 15yrs. Came back to wc this year (just pre-CV). Internet & a smart phone are new to me too. I'm 65 & retired from being a nurse assistant only because I was diagnosed with cancer 2 1/2 years ago.
I'm loving wc but am not always "up to" painting. Your videos make me feel like I'm still being productive. I usually take notes even. I love your openness about everything. I'm learning a lot from you. You are a true blessing in my life 😁
Again, I thank you & may our LORD continue to bless you in every way❣
Its nice to go back and review your videos. I have learned so much from you. When I look back, I can see how much I've grown since I first dipped my toe in watercolor. It was very scary but thanks to you and others like you, I have learned a lot and grown immensely. Thank you and God bless you. I appreciate your channel so much!
You are so brave, I don't think I will be, to try this technique and make something good of it, lol. Wonderful to watch you. Thank you for the lesson.
I know I'm late to the game and all since this was done a year ago but I just wanted to say thank you for your talk in the beginning. You were right on the money. I want my art and Passions to chase away all my demons not bring them to my doorstep. Thank you so much and I appreciate you and wish you well. Whoever reads this know that you are loved.
Amen so tired of hearing how bad everything is! If we pull together we can do anything! Including watercolor now we have more time to try!!
What I love from this video is to see the way you learn from yourself, you teach to yourself, without fear nor expectations, only freely paint and see what's going to happen. Thanks Teacher for your always warm presence. Light to all, my Minders friends ✨✨✨
Thanks, yes and something I strive to teach everyone. Often times we make our own best teachers. Technique is so much more exciting and enlightening when we discover it for ourselves.
Wonderful,Steve. The principal of big to small works in life too. Take care of the big stuff first and the small stuff generally falls in line.
Thanks Steve. I’m binging (and rewatching) your videos. If I still have an income in a month, I have to become a patron. Stay healthy and wash your hands!
Hang in there Norm!
thank you Steve for doing what you do! helping us forge through the drudgery of modern life with a splash of color, a touch of contrast, plenty of light to balance out the darkness, and keeping a positive outlook upon it all. Not to mention, for providing an example of how to face the unknown, the untried and untested with bravery and an open heart.
I love watching Steve Cronin's channel--I can't get myself to go completely in that direction, but I've learned a lot in any case. I mostly just use my hake brushes for wetting the paper down, but I find using my other large flats (1" on up) to be a really good way to keep myself focused on larger shapes and overall composition, though lately I'm trying to do that more in the spirit of Frank Francese and Frank Webb.
Thanks for being a positive presence in the midst of all the craziness these days--I haven't exhausted my introverted comfort in sheltering at home yet, but I'll be keeping my asthmatic self isolated for a long time, and it helps to know I can check in with a familiar face here every week. :)
Thanks for another great video and wise words. This is my absolute favorite channel!
Thank you so much for making this longer video for us to have something to inspire us, entertain us, teach us. Continue to be safe, we're going to make it through this. God bless.
Thank you so much Steve. What an amazing dreamy landscape. Today I am ordering more art supplies 🙏😎 Is great to see people are doing more art these days- more art and more love. Stay well everyone 💗.
Thank you for teaching us something new. Keep safe.
You have such a wonderful way of inspiring and also such a calming spirit about you. Thank you!!!
Thank for your positive input and request for positive input. I really enjoy your videos, I have learned so much! Don’t ever retire! LOL 😁
I probably won't 😏
I sat there mesmerized by the way the painting was being developed!! You did an amazing job and what a gorgeous
painting it turned out to be. Love it, love it. Thank you so much and for the continuous explanations as you paint. Have
a blessed day. Looking forward to watch all your demos.
I've not painted with Hake brushes, or hot pressed water colour paper either. So I have really enjoyed this tutorial! Thank you! But most of all, thanks for keeping such a positive, uplifting attitude! This is certainly what we all need right now!
Amen! Thank you for being a voice of positivity! You invited us to offer encouragement during this time. I am practicing the guidelines for social distancing, but I am also practicing God “nearing”. It is good to starve the fear but even better to feed our faith!
Well said, thanks!
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous painting. Loved watching you take it from nothing to something absolutely great.
That was lots of fun!. thanks Steve!!
You know what? THIS IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE. I am watching this on a Sunday. I was lucky enough to have had 3 days off of work which is HUGE by this time, because I‘m a medical doctor in Germany I got these days off for caring for my child before I go on a 2-week-shift to my clinic. Since I always love your videos, this extended version was like a „mental spa“. Thank you for helping me out with my anxiety for the time of this video. 🍀 all of you stay save!!! 🍀
God bless you and all that you're doing for others!
Thank you. You too.
Thank you for sharing your time and demonstrating the Hake brushes. I love watching how the paint moves and creates an atmosphere. You caught the mood of a swamp so well that I can feel it pulling me. Yahoo! What a good time.
Wow that's awesome. I have a few hake brushes but have never seen them demonstrated until now... definitely going to try this... thank you for your encouragement!
2nd time watching...love that Steve put a positive message re: comments.
Sooo value your authentic commentary. You seem to be "learning" along with us. When I reviewed the few Ron Ranson's UA-cam videos I was attracted to his dry brush with the hake and he is using the side of the bristles as opposed to the tips.
Thank you for making this tutorial and take very great care of yourself and stay safe!
Thank you for this extended version!
I am choosing to focus on things I can control, including my thoughts. So I'm staying positive and hopeful during this rather scary time. And just as importantly, I'm focusing on creating beauty and having fun by painting, cooking, reading, and playing in thre dirt (weeding). Creating positive energy!
Sending you all best wishes!
Be well.
Thank you Steve. Two main colors and post apocalyptic, too. Beautiful and disturbing.
Let's keep it going guys and gals!
Watercolor, markers, watercolor pencils, and beautiful types of paper have been of huge help during this time.
Love the moody sky. I must get my Hake brushes out and have a play. Thank you for sharing your time with us,
A darker painting to fit the darker mood of the world! LOVE your work! Will definitely experiment with my hake brush!
Tried a flowery field landscape... sure requires paying more attention to the amount of water (or lack thereof) in the brush! Either removed too much paint or added too much! Lol! Gave a much smoother feel of the end product though. I will need to try again. I have the 2nd size like yours on the right. Very nice!
Its a different paradigm for painting that's for sure. Keep at it!
