The south, at least in Tennessee, had incredible round barns, beautiful structures. I began to keep a photographic record in the early 1990’s of Tennessee barns and farmlands, and did drawings and paintings from the photographs. As I saw abandoned farmhouses, falling barns - dairy and tobacco - it was clear that these structures once fallen were going to be lost forever. Some farmers gave up and sold their land - where once a handsome red barn stood, today there is a bank and parking lot. Buildings became dilapidated because people hadn’t the money for upkeep and maintenance. Big agriculture broke the small farms. What I witnessed was tragic loss. I did my original paintings in acrylic. Now I am going through those 30 year old photographs and painting the barns again in watercolor with the knowledge that very few, if any, are still standing. Having grown up on a small New England dairy farm that our family lost, the importance of documenting and honoring that way of life cannot be understated.
My first introduction to watercolor was in the 70’s and barns are what I painted! I loved them then and I still do. I was raised on a farm and have so many fond remembrances of playing in the barn with my two brothers…the smell of hay, the animals sounds, the spider webs…all very evocative!❤️
Great video! So happy you showed 'The Age of Barns'. I discovered Eric Sloan about 20 years ago when my daughter read 'Diary of An Early American Boy'. I also have "Eric Sloane's America' and 'A museum of Early American Tools'. The detail in his books is phenomenal and non-surpassed by any that I have ever seen. Glad you featured it in this video. Thanks!!
In Wyoming a lot of people love the western landscape. Check out Grand Teton, old log cabin. The very old half falling down old cabins. I wish had your address I send you pictures around Wyoming.
My folks had that Eric Sloan Book. I still stop and look at old barns, especially dilapidated ones. Spent a lot of time gathering cattle out of remote areas, in my youth. I loved when I come across a old shed or barn or small home.
I love this! I've always had such a fascination with old delipidated buildings and have an extensive reference library of pictures I have taken of them. This one is really neat!
Loved this video and enjoyed the walk down memory lane through the '70s when artwork was so full of old barns and brushy areas. Sometimes with meadowlarks or pheasants. Thanks so much!
It's as if I am on a hike. I decided to climb a little hill and look what I come across! It's very windy, and I can hear one of the boards rattling around inside. Lovely, Steve! Thank you for the little exploration today!
Thanks, Steve. I love old barns, too. My grandfather had a grist mill in southwest Georgia. I wish I had a good photo that I could sketch from. I loved watching you sketch this! Thanks so much.
I am so happy that I chose to do some old wood barns and buildings from my area. A good winter rainstorm or an earthquake has done in a number of "oldies but goodies." I see my art as a bit of a historical reference. My all time favorite was a blackberry vine covered pumphouse. Your little shacks makes me want to capture a few more before time wipes them away. Thanks!
I don't know why it didn't occur to me to "doodle" with a w/c pencil, thank you for for that inspiration!!! P.S. Way out west, we still love old ramshackle buildings😁 and that was a lovely piece you did!
Ooooooo - somebody else likes run-down "ramshacle" buildings! I have a fascination with those too. I don't know but it seems like I always feel like "Hmmm - I could DO something with this". On another note, I'm always amazed that people are able to draw something like this on such a (to me) tiny scale. I don't think I'd ever be able to see well enough to draw so much detail in such a small area. Pinterest has tons of old delapidated house, barn, and structure images.
I stayed near Daniel Boon National Park for a couple of weeks where dilapidated tobacco sheds abound. I took lots of pictures but haven't had the courage to attempt a serious painting. Maybe now I'll give it a go.
Really liked this rustic old barn. I live in Pennsylvania and this reminds me of driving around and seeing old fields and this old beat up barn on it or seeing abandoned properties and seeing dilapidated old buildings. They can be very interesting as well as have their own style beauty.
We saw a lot of half falling down outbuildings in KS. Demolishing cost too much so they’d just let them fall apart. Here in CA there’s an old town (Drawbridge) that unfortunately was built in a flood plain. There are just a few old homes left and have become quite “ramshackled” now. My very first oil/acrilyc painting (in a class) was of a barn!! Thank you so much!!
Wow that’s great! I love the background music 🎶 with this one. Yes I am one of the folks who are pleased when you’ve explained how you fix a mistake when it happens because then I have a reference to how to fix it when it happens to me. As always your techniques & teaching style is one of my favorites. This gives me inspiration to go ahead and paint our own barn into a landscape painting. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I love this Steve. They are all over WA state but deteriorating quickly so it’s good they were popular when we were young. I remember driving by an abandoned one near Spokane with yellow roses climbing all over it. Wish I was painting then! I watch The Waltons every day now - lots there. Some big old barns by me here in Plain, WA. almost gone. Thanks for being calm!
I loved loved loved this video! I love run down buildings that are kind of wonky looking. I too am from the south... I live in East Tennessee and I see these buildings constantly. They have always fascinated me... Like, I want to know the stories behind them. I've also been super interested in drawing them ever since I started learning to draw 3 years ago. Thanks for posting! It looks fantastic!
You inspire me as a new watercooler/ art in general person....... what you show "most often" is something that anyone can do a version of with these technics you show. Your technique is easy to do yet hard to master at your level.
I found it difficult to stop looking at the drawing once I saw this art. Amazing, interesting, and joyful. Thank you for sharing.....!YOU HAVE A GREAT FUTURE AHEAD ❤️
All your videos are excellent, but this one just might be my favourite of all of them. You've given me a ton of ideas to think about and play with. Thanks so much, Steve. And your finished painting might seem simple to you but I think's it's wonderful.
I've been watching your videos for sometime and I learned so much especially the painting tips but most of all your advice on materials and reviews. I recently purchased Mijello 24 pure pigment set also the white bulletproof studio palette the only downside the pamphlet was not included with the palette I went back and looked at the review and it helped me I would like to say thank you for the recommendation I love the paint and palette 🎨 👍👍👍👍👍
Great video, this is what I'm about to start working on. It's my mother's childhood home ,drawing it from her memory,this will be my first watercolor painting.
(I can't believe I'm just seeing this. I try not to miss any of your videos) I've been photographing the old barns around Boone NC with the intent of painting them when I'm there (I always want to paint the latest thing I saw).
Of all of your videos over the past several years (and I think I’ve been watching you since the very beginning), this is my favorite. This is stunning! As for myself, I LOVE painting barns, shacks, outhouses, sheds. The endless possibilities of texture and color…tin roofs, weathered boards. And Eric Sloane’s books on barns and stone walls - a plethora of useful references. I forgot, until this video, that I have his books hidden away someplace in my house. Great job!
Wow this looks great. Love the simplicity of the look but after watching you seeing the complexity behind this painting. Yet again my mind has been blown open , thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Wow what a lovely watercolor painting, So simple and neat yet so gorgeous artwork. Enjoyed watching you complete the final artwork. Thanks for sharing so many tips and tricks. very informative video 🥰♥
My best friend loved "cherries jubilee". She had it one too many times though and never wanted it again. Your barn burnout reminded me ot that. Glad to see you back at it. Cool video. Ihave been thinking of doing some buildings of sorts with watercolors. I have never tried that before. I like how controlled you are using the water brush. Your video makes me really want to try. Thank you!
I'm so happy to see this on rustic barns and am hoping someday you will also cover more from the painting aspect. I've been wanting to learn how to paint dilapidated ones for years and can't quite get "the look" even with dry brushing. Thanks so much for this video.
I love Eric Sloane's books. Oddly, I had never seen "The Age of Barns." Found a reasonably good copy at a reasonable price on eBay. I enjoyed your process and finished work on this one.
Im like 4 months into my art/ watercolor journey and have only painted/ draw from imagination. Love that what I make ONLY existets because I created it.
Beautifully done. I can recall seeing many similar structures years ago. Even went in one - kinda spooky. You captured it so well and seeing your process was very informative.
Hey Steve! Some beatniks made some cool beach cabins in the 60’s at Crystal Cove, Ca. check them out… now being restored… they were made all funky is too fall apart.
If you have a career in art it would be normal to get tired of repeated things. I love the coloration and grain in old wood. My grandad had an old shed that seem to fascinate the grandkids including me. One exterior wall had old shingles on it to cover holes. I guess I will always remember the smell of the dirt on the inside that never saw daylight. I enjoyed your less color but more detail on this one.
The patterns on the side of barns is really popular here in Ontario, Canada for the last few years. They paint a square to look like a decorative quilt.
"Those things" on the barns you see up north are barn stars, sometimes called hex signs, and they're pennsylvania german! We have different symbols for different things, they're a really interesting ritual craft.
I love old building sketches. This is what I am working on right now. Drawing wonky buildings. Barns, City, gas stations, anything wonky and broken down My perspective skills are lacking.🙄So wonky buildings work for me...🤣 I love Ian Fennelly's works for example.. This pencil drawing is more my style. I love Faber- Castell watercolor graphite pencils. FB pencils period.
" Yesterday is a History " " Tomorrow is a Mystery " today is a Gift that's why it is called Present Steve Mitchell Forever Your painting is a master piece
This is so weird to come upon as I’ve been wanting to do this exact thing, and friends are asking for them. This video gives me the kick I need to give it a try.
My guess is that the structural differences between southern barns and northeastern barns has more to do with weather than southern poverty. There are poor farmers everywhere, but in the northeast their barns had to stand up to heavy snow loads every winter, especially in the lake effect area, and periodic blizzards. Yes, the south gets hurricanes, but in the pre-climate-change era, the northeast got bad blizzards a lot more often than the south got bad hurricanes, and heavy snow load was pretty much every year. A barn that wasn't sturdy wouldn't last long. And with as cold as their winters get, an animal barn with gaps in the walls would let the animals get sick, or freeze to death, whereas in the south, I imagine it was more often about security from predators or thieves, or just keeping the animals from wandering off at night, rather than actual protection from the weather.
Yes, I agree on weather influences. And it was not my intention to say that poverty was the main reason for barn differences. Plus I never said there were not poor farmers everywhere. Still, poverty did play a part in farm building construction, and how haphazardly or ad hoc they were built. The type of animal husbandry or crops and size of farm made a difference too. I think there were a lot more small single family subsistance farms in the south. In many parts of Appalachia for example families had no other way to make a living. Many of the remnants of dilapidated structures we see in the south today were probably built during the depression or not long after so cost and materials were a factor again. Regardless of the reasons, they are fascinating. You just don't see as many of these smaller dilapidated structures the further north you get.
When I was driving home to CT from Florida, I drove through the Carolinas (obviously haha) and ended up on a very random side road when trying to avoid traffic. The amount of these buildings I saw on the farms were crazy! I loved seeing all of the antique shops. I wanted to stop so bad but my husband shot that down quick 😂 I collect antiques, so I was in heaven. I wish I just pulled over and went in anyway 😂 such beautiful landscapes, in my opinion.
Hi Steve I know you love the FC Albrecht Dürer pencils and own the 60 pencil tin set. Did you ever find the need to get the other 60 to have the full 120-set? Did you supplement the original 60 you already had with a few more? Thank you!
I don't think of them as rustic. For me all the log cabins are historic, where people lived, worked, raised families and eventually died. I LOVE painting them. I'm old, retired, and stuck in the city. Afriend in West Virginia travels to old home, farm sites and takes reference photos for me. They'llbe gone soon and only photos and paintings left. Ray Hendetshot's work comes to mind. LOVE your work, Steve. Oh,people can watch Barnwood Builders on DiY to get a great education. On barns and cabins.
They are both rustic and historical. But a lot of the structures I'm talking about aren't log structures. Many were hastily built out buildings using scrap left over lumber and tin. Love Ray Hendershot. I've featured one of his books. He's the best!
I think another artist, Andrew Wyeth, was also influential in painting old buildings. Not sure if he did watercolor, seems like egg tempera may have been his media?

I love these old neglected barns, they have a character all of their own. They look as though they have lived a hard sad life.

You’re awesome. I like to scrape my whites back. The scratches are very soothing.
I love this! I've always had such a fascination with old delipidated buildings and have an extensive reference library of pictures I have taken of them. This one is really neat!
Thanks!I am from Tennessee. Love old run down structures. Thanks so much.
Thanks so much for the support!
Old rusty or dilapidated building are so interesting.. excellent video!

Thank you!

Ha ha! I used to do broken down buildings and I remember telling people, “ If you catch someone painting your home or farm; it’s NOT a compliment!”
Im like 4 months into my art/ watercolor journey and have only painted/ draw from imagination. Love that what I make ONLY existets because I created it.
I have that 'Age of Barns' book as well. Love the book.

This is a wonderful video, really has me thinking about things I’d like to try. You had me at wonky, forgiving of perspective errors…
you should totally do a castle or a tower

Yep. He did both watercolor and tempera. I'm a huge fan.
Really stunning, IMO. Thanks for the inspiration.
Can somebody please advise how to mix a Buttermilk colour in watercolor? What colours should I be using, thanks
Overdone like bluebonnet fields in Texas. 😂
…and crashing waves on a beach.
