You've done it again, Steven. You certainly succeeded in your efforts to improve on the atmosphere. More warmth and light. Beautiful, as always. I love this. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your work! I really like the way you manage to create a warm dreamy scene with a few brush strokes. Amazing. Simple tools, beautiful mix of colours and no tidious details. A true artist. Thank you!
I’m so impressed at your technique. I’m quite new at painting but I have learned to loosen up quite a bit from watching you. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents 🌹
Very interesting the way you painted this landscape starting from the background with small strokes for these tiny trees to come in the front for the big trees. The shadows are beautifully done and bring magic to your painting. The colors give life to your artwork. Wonderful painting Steven. Thank you for your inspiring demos.
Your paintings of woodland riverscapes are my favourite, Steven, and this is gorgeous. I love the shadows you painted in which gives the central lighted area a more luminous quality. Lovely!
Thanks for putting up these videos. You're an inspiration, Mr Cronin. From across the pond, thank you. I've been painting for a little over a year now with the Hake and I notice the things that frustrate me, you take in stride and don't let them bother you. You're a big help, sir. Thank you
Steven Cronin Hey thanks for replying man! Means a lot. And thanks for the kindness. Everyone I've chatted with, online or otherwise, has said the same thing. "Just keep painting." I will do so.
Love your paintings and videos. I have bought a couple of your books and followed along with a few of the paintings. Doing that I have finally produced some paintings that I actually like, even framed Like you I like to sit and do a painting from start to finish in one go. Thanks for being so generous and down to earth in your approach.
Absolutely lovely technique .. i am amazed, you didn't do any drawing.. no sketch.. but result looks fabulous.. .. very very creative and innovative.. thanks for sharing..
Nice light and dark colors on your page. Interesting demo for these small trees using the corner of the brush. I can draw them but not as fast as you do. Very pretty dark tiny trees as well as white ones in front them. Dark tiny trees in front of all those. They all have their reflections on the water. The lands have a variety of pastel colors. Beautiful. The ground has a very light and bright color in the middle which is splendid. Dark bigger trees are drawn before all the previous ones and its gorgeous. This is a beautiful painting Steven and I thank you for giving me another opportunity to watch you.
Just really admire your technique AND your generous teaching methods. I have been working at using what I have learned by watching your tutorials, and it has certainly helped me solve some problems. I had a particularly successful day and wound up selling that painting at a recent show of our Artists Group! Yay! Not much water here in Tucson, but i am applying your techniques to help me show distance and atmosphere here in the desert. Thanks for some great lessons!
Dear Steven, I already made a comment 2 months ago. So, now I am just looking with pleasure every movement of your hand so I'll learn something that I missed the last time. The bushes are a nice contrast with the dark trees and the water. This mixture of dark and light colors give a beautiful background. Long and dark trees in front of previous thin ones are very well drawn and add lot of beauty to this lovely landscape as well as the bigger ones on left hand side. Beautiful painting Steven and I thank you for your help in improving our artworks and another opportunity to watch you painting.
What a fantastic tutorial and painting. I might be a bit biased though being a Villa supporting brummy born and bred around Sutton Park! I love how the scene is suggested rather than copied, great lesson thanks Steven.
+Left Mono many thanks for your comments. Many of the viewers are from all over the world so it's nice when I hear from locals. Thanks for watching and up the villa
@@StevenCronin I finally tried this. I definitally need to do it again…but I think I have a little more confidence I can one day use your technique and my subjects to paint a good landscape.
steven i love watching your videos i like to paint but sometimes i need some inspiration and i always find that here, you are my hero i love the freedom of your brushstroke ...saludos desde México... sorry for my english
To be honest I painted these trees at random and wouldn't really know what type they are. But thanks as always for your comments Cheryl and very best wishes
Hi Steven, I only messaged you about the ‘silver birch’ as you mentioned at 7.15 mins of this demo that you didn’t know what they were called? I hope you didn’t think I was being condescending! Just tying to help 😟
I ran across this painting exercise at just the right time. Trying to do a wooded trail for the fourth time. Always starts the same . . . everything going fine and looking good, then I add the foliage. And it just becomes a green mess. Well, in reality it's a very green, very wooded trail. How to know how much foliage (leaves) to keep without making the trees look bare. This exercise may help. Or, maybe it's just not an appropriate scene for watercolour. But here we go . . . attempt number 5! and I will try to simplify. Thanks for the tips!!
When you are adding the foliage dry the brush take some neat paint and just add a little bit at a time. Two or three dabs and then stop and stand away and look at it from a distance and see how it looks. Then do a few more dabs. Keep practicing and you'll get there. Best of luck
@@StevenCronin Well, Number 5 was better thanks to your advice. I will keep practicing. I'm not out of the woods yet but I think I'll stay away from the forests for a while. Cheers!
By the way Steven, I am wondering if the 3 colors : red, yellow and green can give the color black, and if so in which proportion ? Thank you for your answer.
You've done it again, Steven. You certainly succeeded in your efforts to improve on the atmosphere. More warmth and light. Beautiful, as always. I love this. Thanks.

many thanks Nina. Yes I try and keep it as simple as possible so people can see what's achievable with minimal kit.

Great stuff Steven. I don't have the imagination to make my dull photos into a painting but this has inspired me to revisit one of my tree pics!
Happy painting Pat!
I really like this one, your explanation is really clear. Im going to try this one.
Have fun!

Nice painting Steven. It's always pleasurable watching the Hake Master at work. Thank you for sharing your talent. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Thanks as always Bob and very best wishes. Hope you had a great Christmas.
Great tribute to Mr. Ranson. R.I.P.
Has something happened to Mr Ranson? Last I heard he was in a care home.
Hi Steven, love this one. Combination of colours are great .....oh I believe the trees with the lighter bark are called silver birch.
To be honest I painted these trees at random and wouldn't really know what type they are. But thanks as always for your comments Cheryl and very best wishes

By the way Steven, I am wondering if the 3 colors : red, yellow and green can give the color black, and if so in which proportion ? Thank you for your answer.
+Mireille Romain for black or very dark colour I use ultra marine blue and burnt umber. This will give about as dark a colour as you will ever need.
Hi Steve, do you cut the hairs of your hake? I have exactly the same and they look shorter than mine's. great painting by the way!
No I don't cut the hairs. They are just worn down after so many paintings. Thanks for watching Juan
Dave Usher was doing a painting in memory of Ron Ranson on TH-cam , and said that he had passed away I believe on December 9th 2016...
Thanks for letting me know. Such sad news.
You should look into getting some form of mic to record your voice while u paint. U do amazing work by the way
Thanks for watching
Me gustó ...... pero lo hubiese concluido mucho antes a veces menos es más..................
Thanks for watching Liliana
Steven , did you know that Ron Ranson passed away...?
Someone else mentioned that but I couldn't confirm it. Where did you hear?
