I’ve been doing quick little portrait studies of the folks in the nursing home where I volunteer. They LOVE it! This will help fill out these little studies for them. Could use this technique for drawing ANYTHING! Thank you, once again!
I know their character and their life experiences are all over their faces. I'd imaging observing and sketching their hands would also be a reflection of the person and their life.
When I saw the white going on the paper I thought WOW! No way! Then it faded to calm. Excellent technique. Next time I am in town I will look for the brush.
@@zoeuphoria Many thanks for the encouragement. I can manage to create imagery digitally, but it's the feel of actual pen, brush and paper/canvas that I miss.
I started doing this recently as well when I was returning to anatomy studies and found myself not wanting to use graphite or charcoal but not wanting the unforgiving nature of jet black ink brushes, so I just started using a brush pen with dried up patches of gouache. Now I just do it on the regular, or over top of line. And it's a great way to get a lot more use out of dried up gouache that might not be ideal for something more serious but that would also be a waste to just wash off a palette and squeeze more from tubes just for the sake of some studies. Thick toned tan paper is probably my favorite thing to work on.
Landscape thumbnails are great but I actually love seeing you draw people for a change. I've done a kind of drawing with a brush before, but not often, and not on toned paper - it's really cool.
Love this. I'm trying to get back into art and recover my confidence lost since adolescence by not practising. Feel a bit intimidated by the (expensive) watercolours I bought and feel like I was always much more of a natural drawer anyway, so this might be exactly what I need to try.
Yes definitely please do a couple landscape sketches using the waterbrush process. I would love to see it, as I'm struggling with this in my own sketches. Thank you for your consideration in this.
Great technique/process! i've had those water-brushes for years and hadn't found a good way to use them. Thank you for your video ❤ hehe couple of hours later i went and dug my water-brushes out and tried your technique. It worked better than i was expecting. I already fashioned a tiny kit out of a pill box with black and white quache and made a small sketchbook out of coloured paper. Thanks again.😄
Would really appreciate a video like this for landscapes! Landscapes are a weakness of mine I'd really like to improve on and I love this method as a way to ease into them with a new perspective
I just ordered 4 of them. I love your videos; I've been watching since I started with watercolors a couple of years ago. Your work is beautiful - what I aspire to. Thank you so much for all of them!!
Thats dazzling sir! Ive been absolutely intimidated with watercolors so ive avoided them. Im soaking up alot watching you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us
I have played over the years with all these things Steve, until now never thought of bringing them together for mark-making in this way. thanks for sharing, cheers Paul
I use fine liners on any medium-toned papers and get so excited when it's time for the highlights to make that drawing pop! Never occurred to me that I could do the same with a brush and WC, and it looks a lot harder!
I would sure be interested in landscapes with this technique. I have such a waterbrush laying around around, Not used it very much. But I've gotten into watercolours via my drawing hobby, and also been doing a couple of landscapes lately, so this is a good fit for what I'm experimenting with myself at the moment.
This is a great method! It reminds me of my college life drawing class (fromMANY) years ago when we drew with neutral coloured pencil crayons on toned paper. I’m going to by a water brush for sure! Thank you so much!
Both artists are go-to references for master studies for me. I love how dynamic they are with form, color, and stroke. And drawing with a brush is always a fun exercise.
Loved watching the sketch and paired with the music. This fellow looks like my Dad who passed away a few years ago. It was so lovely to see his visage slowly appear! ❤
love watching you do the people, its so relaxing and I have a hard time with faces, so its always interesting and fun to see them take shape . Thanks for sharing it.
I gave this a try and I love it! Thank you for sharing all your tips! They are fun, and I like the results, even though I'm not a watercolorist, and not strong on portraits. But this I can do!
You are so amazing with your drawing and painting skills. I could feel the connection to the man in my heart that you were drawing. This is how I know when a piece of art is really good. I always enjoy you and your videos. Thank you.
Great video. My unartful husband was spellbound. I He always comments about Reece. He can't quite understand why he's there. Maybe I don't explain it well enough. I don't have Gouache, but found the Holbein ones (love Holbein BTW) 18 ~ 5 ml on Amazon for $43.00. Thanks again for the great video. You are my inspiration. As far as I am concerned you are the best artist on TH-cam. I learn so much from you. Thank you Steve. God bless you and yours.
Reese is my skull anatomy model but I started including him in videos so I wouldn't take myself so seriously, something way too many art instructors do.
@@mindofwatercolor I agree. Keep up the great work so love your work Brother Steve if we never meet on this earth we will meet in the sky when God blows his trumpet.
Wow! So nice! Isn’t it great that no matter how long we’ve been producing drawings, there always seems to be some new, technique/approach, to learn about. Thank you Sir!
I really enjoyed watching this process and it seems you enjoyed yourself! I'm putting in a request to see this method used in landscapes. Thanks for this, it's offered me some good ideas. Even in trying it with marker.
@mindofwatercolor I have to admit that I bought these brushes because you have recommended them, and I haven't used them since. 🙈 I just can't switch to a waterbrush.
LOVED the watercolor sketches! Incredible work!
Yes, please do watercolor sketches of landscapes and still lifes?
That would be wonderful!
Thank you!
I’ve been doing quick little portrait studies of the folks in the nursing home where I volunteer. They LOVE it! This will help fill out these little studies for them. Could use this technique for drawing ANYTHING! Thank you, once again!
That is so sweet! I love it. I have a real soft spot in my heart for the elderly, and imo we don't respect and treat them well in the US.
That is such a lovely way to use your skills :)
I know their character and their life experiences are all over their faces. I'd imaging observing and sketching their hands would also be a reflection of the person and their life.
When I saw the white going on the paper I thought WOW! No way! Then it faded to calm. Excellent technique. Next time I am in town I will look for the brush.
This brings back memories of the way I used to sketch on toned paper many years ago. Since I developed a tremor I really miss it.
Keep going with it, try and embrace the unique style you will get. I bet people will still love your sketching x
@@zoeuphoria Many thanks for the encouragement. I can manage to create imagery digitally, but it's the feel of actual pen, brush and paper/canvas that I miss.
Love this!!! Yes, more landscapes using this method would be great.
Landscape thumb nail would be fantastic. Your talent is great. I need to try this. Thanks
Yes please ! Landscapes ! … and architectural, too ! Thanks muchly !

Sure … please do companion tutorial of a landscape! U r just a wealth of information! I so enjoy your tutorials! Thanks for sharing😊
I am learning from your demonstrations. I draw and paint. This has given me the inspiration I need.
Your tinted graphite and watersoluable charcoal would also work great. Just use a spritzer to keep them juicy. Thanks for sharing.
Landscape thumbnails are great but I actually love seeing you draw people for a change. I've done a kind of drawing with a brush before, but not often, and not on toned paper - it's really cool.
Yes, a landscape would be lovely!
Yes please, more of this, in anything you want to with a little of what's going through your mind whilst drawing, it's truly superb.
What a pleasurable experience it was to see such talent in action. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
Thank you for your lesson. Lesson about scetching landscapes would be great
Yes, please. Demo of this technique with landscapes. Thank you.
Thanks for the intro to a reservoir brush…. Will check that out!
Reminded that drawing on a toned background it’s easy to use too much white accent
Your work is amazing!! Id love to see a landscape using this technique 😊
i find this style of painting so intriguing. have to try it out for myself some time.
Love to see a landscape example.
Yes, to landscape thumbnails using this sketching method. Thanks. Great video!
Brilliant! You truly are a fabulous artist!

Interesting, that would work with Urban Sketching as well. Thanks Steve!

I would really appreciate seeing some landscapes done this way. The sketches are amazing as always.
Excellent ... I have everything you used .... just never never used them like that. I certainly will be. Thank you so much.
Loved this technique and yes! Landscape thumbnails please :D
So amazing. Loving this sketching technique as well. I didn’t know they made water brushes with that fine a tip.
That is inspiring! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to try it.
Wow, I am blown away! I love how you are using watercolor for sketching. What a brilliant idea.
Loved watching the sketch and paired with the music. This fellow looks like my Dad who passed away a few years ago. It was so lovely to see his visage slowly appear! ❤
As always, learn so much from watching you work! Still using techniques from a nest demonstration! Thank you!

Thanks, love the effect I will definitely be trying this Derwent pen*
That was great! 👍
Great video, I would love to see this process being used for landscapes. Thanks for sharing.
Great demo! I do a version of this - I use diluted ink in the brush, which simplifies the process in the field
Excellent 😊
I loved this video. Please do more! I think your portraits are so skilled and appear so easy.

This is wonderful!
So amazing that you can do that.
I love this. I need to get back to my sketchbooks and try this. Thanks for the demo. 😍
I would love to see how you approach something like this with non-caucasian subjects, more variety of skin tones and complexions
This is mindblowing😮 I have never seen such effect with gouache
Your blending is amazing.
Hey thanks Pam!
