- Get out that orange and fire up the paint brush. Bright orange pumpkins are fun to paint. Join me as I tackle this group of fine specimens and demonstrate a few background wash techniques such as using back runs to your advantage.

The irrational background and the low key lighting really lended to the Halloween feel. Thanks for the playful inspiration
I am so happy this showed up today! I learned physics! LOL! I love the blooming background! When I was starting out painting with watercolor, I watched a tutorial from a woman who said that beginner should not mix more than 2 colors of watercolor! Just about killed me. Luckily, I didn't hold fast to that "fact". Thank you from Texas!
I was really happy to hear you talk about different artists and how there are different ways to create art. All it can take is one snobby artist to drive someone (especially a younger someone) away from painting altogether... It took me years to want to get back into art after a really crappy, year long painting "apprenticeship" when I was 18. I'm glad to have found your channel, it's really rekindled a love of art and, most especially, watercolor.
+Shannon Poehlman Very glad to hear it and well said about snobby artists. I'm all for passion for one's own art and style but when it become a "my way or the highway" thing, thats where I part company.
Gorgeous!
Beautiful shading on the pumpkins - orange without being neon. Very nice and subtle shading for the stems too. Good tips on what colors to use for shading with orange. Thanks for the video!
Beautiful! Enjoyed your video.. thank you !,
Love the drama in this one. The shadows are gorgeous and that violet background extraordinary.
Robert Sloan Thank you very much!
Beautiful!
An artist after my own heart! I've encountered th art snobs too but from a different angle: "indirect painting? Who does that anymore?" I tried alla prima & was so frustrated. I decided to embrace my approach & be happy with it. I just discovered you today & you're my favorite art teacher on youtube. Please keep the uploads coming!!
Stephanie Harris Wow! Thanks so much for the encouraging words. Glad to have you aboard.
No Steve. THANK YOU
Stephanie Harris My pleasure!
Most realistic pumpkins I've seen. Good advise on using different colors with the orange.
Wonderful tutorial. Love all your videos. Thank you.
Great pumpkins! Avoiding muddy colors - these tips are being filed away! As always, your videos are really great. Thank you very much...
+Kay Gentry And Thank YOU!
Really enjoyed this one! It is a snowy January day in Indiana. It warmed me up a bit.
+Beatrix Potter 👍
Fabulous painting!
Midgard Myth Thanks!
There is no way that you have ever been an art snob! You are a South Carolina gentleman! Thank you for sharing. Happy Halloween!
I realy like your pumpkins and your tutorial. Thanks for the inspiration .
I love the pumpkins. I really love learning from your videos. You have a great way to demonstrate and explain how watercolor works. Thank you for sharing your talent and time.
OMG! It is Amazing! Absolutely love it! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love pumpkins! So beautiful painting, love the colors! 😍
+Many Black Thanks! I love em too!
Love how you combine a bit of tighter realism with the loose impressionistic
+Video Reviews My favorite way to paint.
Great pumpkins! So lifelike.
Thanks for the tips with shading and tinting orange - really helpful. Your pumpkins really have a great sense of volume. Great video!
Never tire of watching this instructions. Wonderfully presented. Thank you!
You do beautiful work. I just finished painting an orange 1966 Dodge Polara in acrylics. I mixed several different colors into the orange for the darker and lighter areas. After seeing your video I want to do some pumpkins. Orange is my favorite color anyway. The background turned out great. Love the colors you used.
+Julie Nielsen Hey thanks! Yeah orange is a great color to paint with when given the chance.
Really like that background! And that color too. Very relaxing to watch you paint.
That was beautiful.
Mary Jo Tannehill Thanks!
Your tutorials are SO FUN and amazingly effective! I want to make some watercolor pumpkin cards and didn’t even think about using a watercolor pencil to sketch.😊Thank you, thank you and thank you from one of your grateful subscribers
Thanks Steve, it's quite educational to see how you manage the contours, light and shadow areas! And thanks for the tip on the colors for darkening and lightning the subject!!! Like how you pick something simple like pumpkins and you turn it in to a beautiful work.... and the rang of color value within the orange!!! You rock! THANK YOU!
while searching for watercolor paintings on youtube, this is the painting that lead me to your channel i just love it so much! Since then I have watched all of your videos! keep them coming !
You are just flat out great as a teacher. Thank you so much from a person who drew most of her life and stayed clear of color. You just make it so simple to understand and I am not going to fear watercolor any more! Seriously, you have a gift.
Thanks for the encouraging words. Means a lot!
brilliant painting love the shading and the use of masking
Andy Coakes Thanks Andy!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW AWESOME SIR!!

+Meghan Chin 👍
Thank you for stressing that a dozen techniques could bare the same result. Thats more important to keep in mind than I myself tend to think... its so easy to get wrapped up in the process. And the best options for orange shadow colors; good lookin out. Thank you thank you thank yoy
Thank you for putting out these amazing segments! I am blessed to have found them.
+Dixie Booker-Lair You bet, thanks for watching

Indeed!
I have watched many of your tutorials and continue to be so inspired. You are clear, to the point and very easy to follow. Truly you are one of my favorites to follow
Autumn is a gorgeous season to capture. Thank you
🙋 *Yaaaas!! Purples and reds! Every time I use orange the shadows come out looking dull and flat, and when I try and bring that more to life, I end up with mud. Thank you for your insights!! (This is one of those things that's like "Doh!😑 Why didn't I think of that?!") Regardless, I'm extremely excited to have this tid bit of knowledge now.* 👍😁
Wow! It’s beautiful!
As usual you make it look so easy this will be my next subject to paint .I love all your tips and advice. ThanksI am now using the black Velvet brushes they are brilliant t
This is the second time I have watched this one. I love your common sense and I love the way you paint........Watercolor is so much fun. I used to hate it :) now, I love it.
absolute pleasure to watch you! You are very talented!
+Nichole Yim Thank you very much!

Bravo et merci, pour une fois un bon tuto pas à pas en temps réel. ..!
Je vais essayer de réaliser ces belles citrouilles sur ces bons conseils.
Merci d'une française de Lyon.
I'm new to watercolour & absolutely loving your channel. You explain things in a simple, calm, uncomplicated manner, I love it. :)
I'm wondering if you paint portraits/people as I would love a video on painting skin tones. Thanks! ^_^
nerdieone1 Thanks and yes I do paint portraits. I'm sure I will be covering skin tones at some point. Stay tuned!
very nice
HOW did I miss this one so long ago???? What fun to watch your process with a really fun subject. I loved that background application! And I agree completely with your statement about art snobs. There is no ONE way to do art. There are methods and skills etc, but it all comes out differently with each person. And that’s a good thing. Happy Halloween!
You are the best! My first guru! I tell all of my students all about you!
watching you paint is better than netflix :D
I use a ruling pen for masking fluid. Works great! Fab painting sir! 🧡🎃. Thank you!
I love your shading. Happy Halloween!
Really great instruction plus, love the Martin Luther quote.
+David Jirak Thanks!
Great job and great result. Thank you for al you share.
+richard zone 😊👍

Amaising :)))))
You're the best grandpa in the whole wide world :D
Very nice sharing good work,beautiful👍👍👍amazing😉....👍👍👍..........👍..👍

How did he do this with water color paint? Making it look so realistic!
Excellent video! What colors did you mix to get your background color? I LOVED the way you showed how to achieve the background!
Sepia, and a bit of Red Iron Oxide and Dioxazine Purple.
really 👍🏻, amazing artist
Thanks!
Speaking of snobs
I had a teacher tell me she never wanted to see that technique on my paper again 😂
thank you steve love this:)
and happy halloween to you and your family
kathy reast Thanks, to you and yours as well!
Hi Steve, loved the Vedic, thanks for doin it. One suggestion: as you apply the paint, can you please tell us the color that you are using ? It would be so helpful to us watching. Thanks again.
One main reason I don’t is because I usually don’t use “a color.” They’re complex mixes. I also encourage beginners to learn to mix visually. It’s an important skill to build.
As you were painting the orange skin of the pumpkins and working on creating a nice gradient from darker to lighter, they were wet the entire time, correct? In other words the piece never really dried since you did it all in once sitting? At the end of the video as you were blending the orange tones, were you dry brushing that? Thanks!
cdnichols51 They were glazes or layers that I blended out. The underlying layers were dry. Only the paint I was currently applying was wet. You can get subtle blends that way. I have an episode planned on specifically showing that glazing technique.
excellent can't wait to see it
This is so so so fascinating! :)))))))))) I love your paintings! :)))
Yay pumpkins
I find the masking fluid leaves my paper very rough and it takes the paint really funny. Is there a difference in brands? I use Strathmore or Arches paper and only wait a few days before removing. Any tips appreciated. I will also see if you have a video on this subject.
There can be. The masking fluid should be fresh (not years old) and not thinned very much or it soaks into the paper. As long as you have good paper it shouldn't be a problem.
i love your work and try to follow. could you please mention the colors and paints you are using? ty much :)
Thanks! Everything should be listed in the video description.
I have such a problem with shadows(how intense, where they go) and what colors to use. Do you just want to use a color close on the color wheel? I'm confused!
The answer is... it just depends. It's a visual decision. There isn't one way (or color scheme) to do a shadow. It's often a darker version of the underlying color yes, but could be affected by reflected light. Light is the key. Observe what happens in actual situations and study how other artists treat various light. I do tend to use analogous cooler colors but depending on the light may keep intensity or decrease it to a more neutral shadow.
This is a beautiful painting, I love it! Autumn is my favourite season, I'm looking forward to all the lovely autumnal colors! Also I wanted to let you know that because of your high opinion and others of the Silver Brush Black Velvet brand, I bought a set of 3 and selected a 4th. I must say that these brushes are truly worth their weight in gold, they are the best I have ever had the pleasure of owning! I'm curious about the Fredrix Canvas Boards for Watercolors, have you ever tried them? Or Aquaboard? Well thanks again for all the great videos and take care!
I've used both Fredrix watercolor canvas and Aquaboard. Don't like the Fredrix at all. Just preference but I don't like giving my watercolors a canvas texture. Aquaboard is pretty cool to work on. Very forgiving and acts a lot like watercolor painting but with more lifting ability.
+The Mind of Watercolor Alright, thanks. Have you ever tried a watercolor ground? I recently tried Arches 140lb Hot Press paper and didn't like it so I'm looking at trying the cold pressed eventually. I'm also considering on trying Fabriano, what kind of Watercolor sketchbook/album is your favourite? So far I've only tried Moleskine, I do like it and the paper is nice to work on but I'd like to try something different. I'm just looking to expand my experience. I recently ordered the Masters Brush Cleaner & Preserver, it's important to me to take care of my new brushes, how do you clean and care for your brushes? Sorry for so many questions, I really appreciate your expertise and it's helped me to make better decisions, thanks for the replies and take care!
Never tried watercolor ground specifically but Aquaboard is coated with it so it acts similar from what I'm told. I like the Stillman & Birn Beta sketchbook and the Global Arts Handbook watercolor sketchbooks. Just wash your brushes on occasion. You don't have to wash them after every use. The Masters cleaner/preserver is good.
A little off-the-track question, which camera do you use to shoot your videos? You shot them yourself or u have a professional videographer for it, your videos are really Mind-blowing :)
I use three. Canon Vixia camcorder for head shots. Pentax K-01 for most overhead or over shoulder painting shots and most recently a GoPro Hero Silver 4 for some close up easel shots.
Thank you Steve for your quick response. really appreciate!
You are my kinda watercolor teacher! Do you sell DVD's or have workshop's going? CJ from OK USA!
No, sorry I don't. I've just started posting workshops on Skillshare. More to come. skillshare.com/mindofwatercolor
wonderful, loved the painting, and i kept seeing a face in the background lol
CraftyKazzaH Hmm, I'll have to take another look.
