In this video I'll demonstrate how to rearrange the elements in a photograph and turn it into a beautiful painting! I'm painting on a new block of Rembrandt all cotton 300gsm watercolor paper with a cold press surface and I LOVE IT! I used my tiny travel palette for this demonstration.

Intro To Using A Tiny Watercolor Set!
มุมมอง 523 หลายเดือนก่อน
This video lesson shows a method I developed for how to paint with a tiny watercolor set. The set holds 12 colors and has only a small lid for mixing colors. The approach to using this set is different from how I paint with my larger sets. I explain how to use it and layer colors directly on the paper. Perfect for travel, this tiny palette holds a carefully curated set of colors. The rest of my...
Laguna Spring
มุมมอง 924 หลายเดือนก่อน
“Laguna Spring”, I just completed this extra large oil painting of springtime in Laguna beach. This is the view looking south over Diver’s Cove at Heisler Park. I love the statice and other coastal wild flowers along the seaside cliffs! This painting has a very uplifting feeling about it, that peaceful sense of being when you can see forever while gazing out across the ocean.

    Девушка, вы покупаете холсты в магазине а они плохо натянуты. Поэтому всё дрожит и ходит ходуном. Ну а сама манера ничего, красивая. Girl, you buy canvases at the store and they're not stretched properly. That's why everything shakes and moves around. But it's all right, it's beautiful.

      @@KristenOlsonStone sometimes I find it easier than watercolor (as you can reactivate it -- normally), others harder (because you don't always have transparency). Recently I bought a Holbein Acrylic Gouache and that's some new experience as it dries a lot faster and it's harder to combine colors, but the colors are really vibrant.

      @@KristenOlsonStone not yet, I just switched to Holbein, so will wait for the tubes to start to empty before buying new paintings. Before I was using W&N and Pébéo, but Royal Talens and Daniel Smith are two brands I still want to try! The holbein acrylic seems to dry a lot faster than their normal gouache (they sell both). It's also more opaque (there are some interesting videos comparing both).
