- A quick demo of a sketchbook session working from travel photography. I do these images on site and in the studio. The studio work is usually a study for a larger piece.
Thanks for watching

I bought all your videos I could get. Love your works and way of teaching.
Really like your style - thanks for sharing. When I get in a rut and loose confidence I like to watch others paint and it gives me the inspiration needed to carry on again. Your video's give me inspiration to paint again. Thanks.
Iain, good that the camera crapped out, we could have a look at your sketchbook which is full of stunning paintings and sketches. Thanks so much for sharing this video. Will look forward for more.
Just brilliant, thank you for being so generous and showing how you work, awesome!
Absolutely sheer genius, and I can judge because you were generous enough to show the photograph. I am trying to get where you are myself.
I LOVE the sketchbook!
It's really unbelievable! Great sketchbook and great artist!
I love your layered washes .. You really pound on that S&B sketchbook too! So glad to see you found a sketchbook that can keep up with you lol!
Great work Iain. Nice patient build-up. Also very much enjoyed the drawing part.
Thanks for showing your sketchbook. I'd love to go plein air painting with you if you have classes.
I'm using a Stillman and Birn sketchbook here which is very different from traditional watercolor papers in both weight and sizing. Here I am encouraging my paper to buckle and create cauliflowers although they are somewhat controlled. I might suggest working in a sketchbook for a couple of reasons.
1. A sketchbook is more forgiving for the type of pen and wash images you are trying to create.
2. The set up time and "need to succeed" are lowered greatly so you tend to loosen up.
Brilliant work
Fantastic job!
Thank you for the beautiful watercolour and the good lesson. I love your work. Thank you also for not playing the terrible "music" which seems to come with most art videos. Thanks again.
Why oh why did I find you right at bedtime?! Now I want to stay up and watch every one of your videos. I've been searching for something to help me learn how to use water colour in a way that would compliment my sketches, but all I could find was landscape stuff. I learned so much just from this video! Your artwork is amazing. I literally got happy goose bumps watching it. And your art journal is beautiful.
Peace & Love. :)
+FunkyLittleWhiteGirl thank you. Sorry for the late discovery. I do hope you are enjoying your painting.
Amazing skill
Wish I was as good, brilliant work
wow! I really love all your watercolor. Watercolor is such a mystery. I love every details. woah! Someday I'm gonna be as good as you. :D
wow...!!! Amazing...!!!
Gorgeous work!
Awesone.
amazing illustrations!
Oh my gosh you are amazing!!!!! I love your drawing! It's too awesome to make me cry(almost :3)!!
Thanks for this great demo. I will try a watercolour using these colours as they work so well together. Also will try and use this loose style which will hopefully improve my watercolours :)
I think the sketching is the way to better paintings.
So. Beautiful.
BRILLIANT! BRAVO!!!
Great selection of colours. Very inspiring stuff! :)
wow, amazing work!! your paintings are beautiful. :))
Great book!
My pleasure. I'm working on a few more and will probably start to incorporate instruction in the next few. I use a Sanford Draughting (314) a fairly soft lead that can create light or dark lines depending on how much pressure you use. I actually do paint on both sides of the paper at times. It really just depends on whether I've got a wet painting on the opposite page or not when I'm doing them. Thanks. is
Hehe. My background is in architecture and we did a lot of drawing. Finding actual jobs that allow you to do that is tough nowadays. Choose how you might want to pursue this professionally and take deliberate steps toward that goal. Work at your craft as much as you can and don't forget the marketing side- promote your work and set realistic goals. It doesn't happen overnight, but you may find that you can shift how you make your living eventually.
Grande lain
Excellent thanks for sharing.
Your paintings are so beautifully done. can you please upload some more with you walking through your techniques with us. thankyou so much
+sonyasmixedmedia I have a few more of these videos on my page that go in to the sort of detail you are asking for. I also have a 3 DVD set available through Northlightshop.com
Hi Ryan- I use W&N Fr. Ultramarine, Light Red, Burnt Sienna, Cobalt Blue, and Neutral tint with some cad red here and there.
awesome sketch(book)
Magnifique travail
More videos please :) Love your work! I'm having so much trouble with watercolors, but I'm not giving up.
it is awesome.. it will be my idea on my travel journal..
I love the pencil sketch, too. What if using tracing carbon? So we'll have both pencil and color.
Hi Iain,
Brilliant demo. I would love to hear your thoughts as you produce these watercolor gems!
I am very interested in your drawing technique too. Thank you for sharing.
Give some time while flipping the pages, your work worths a lot to surpass it like this...
Great coloring skills, congrats!
Lyn- I will be in Fife in June of next year doing a workshop with another group. I'm looking at setting up a workshop for locals too though. Was considering getting in touch with the St. Andrews Art Club.
excellent!
Great video Iain. I would love to see the pictures shown on your sketchbook bigger, to be able to enjoy the detail. Do you have a blog or a web page showing your sketches?
Thank you. I am an architectural illustrator so I've got a bit of a head start there. The lack of demonstration probably equates to the small numbers of people who continue to work in the traditional way. I teach rendering at the collegiate level and I know of only a couple other places in the country that do as well. It's a shame as watercolor is so perfectly suited to rendering architectural subjects.
wow...!!!!!
Wow awesome paintings, i like your style of paintings
thanks so much for this demonstration using watercolor. I paint in watercolor and wonder when you sketch, I think you used a softer or wider pencil, can you tell me what kind and hardness you use? thanks also for showing your sketch book. I see you only paint on one side. I have not done that but will try in. We just returned from a trip to Italy and see a number of your paintings of sights we saw and took photos of for future paintings.
Suscrita,muy bueno 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
May I ask which art supplies you are using? As in, how thick is your paper and which watercolours you are using?
Big fan! Amazing x
I use the equivalent of a 2 or 4b lead. The pencil I use is no longer sold, but I have a stash. My pleasure.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Beautiful artwork. Did you make the sketch book yourself? Congratulations!
P.s. Should have mentioned that I am a member of St. A art club too so can put you in touch with people. Lyn
I loved the video. Which colors did you use in this sketch- I'm assuming there weren't more than 5 or 6. Thanks. Big fan of your work.
Nice demo, Ian. Could you comment on the type of sketchbook you are using? Paper weight? Product name? Thanks.
+Mike Porter Stillman and Birn Beta Alpha series sketchbook. Thanks.
das finde ich auch sehr gut ... toll .. ;))
i want that sketchbook
Are you using a charcoal pencil? Just love your work!
Great work Ian. What sketchbook are you using?
Looks like normal paper, but it does not buckle much!!
+Carlos Zenteno Stillman and Birn Beta Alpha series sketchbook. Thanks.
Iain Stewart I'm so amazed when I see the way you build up your painting. What kind of paper( sketchbook) are you using in this video ? I'm also interested in this way of painting as well. I'm about to study architecture this august at Pratt Institute, and I'd be so happy if they give workshop on doing these kinds of things :)
+Duc Phung Stillman and Birn Beta Alpha series sketchbook. Thanks.
Hi Iain, lovely sketch, is there meant to be sound to the video, I'm not getting any?
John
+John Cowburn sorry no sound on this. In later videos I do add commentary. Cheers.
I like that you didn't infill with music.
In your write up could you please say what colours you use etc etc. So beginners can learn. Thank you. ;-)
what colours should i use to make flesh tones sir??
What type of pencil did u use; seems water soluble
+james Gilliam It's an old pencil no longer made. A good substitute is the Palomino Blacking widely available. Cheers
Ilove how many people have asked which pencil you use.. does no one read previous comments? lol nice painting by the way. oh and what brand of water do you use ?? lo ljust joking ;-)
John Hoffman haha. The wet kind.
Iain.. Hope I can 'crash' the group you work with in June. I think you are FB friends with Alan Stephens. He is president of the St. Andrews Art Club and a good first contact but if all fails let me know and I will contact some folk. I would be really keen to join a workshop though. I feel you can absorb so much more through watching an artist at work than reading a book. Thanks for replying. Lyn
I'd pay to have lessons from you haha
Love the vid . What paper did you use please ??
Stillman & Birn Beta series sketchbook paper.
Hello…with whiche pencil do you draw please ? Beautifull sketch…Congratulations for all the work…!!!
+Thomas Favier It's an old pencil no longer made. A good substitute is the Palomino Blacking widely available. Cheers.
+Iain Stewart Do you mean the Blackwing 602,,,, which sketchbook are you using?
Iain sort that camera out!
I love to draw myself, portraits and landscapes and Ive done almost all my favourite wallpapers in pencil. What school do I have to go to get a job where I can draw to my hearts content? Im at retarded medicinal uni, fuckin much to study, ill finish it, but I dunno if ill ever like my duty.
Жаль, что совсем без звука :(
meh... too blotchy.
For goodness sake...... This is just super. Like to see the finished one of St.Andrews. Maybe it's here,this is the first I've watched. Really really like your work Iain.
Wow so fantastic! Don’t think I will ever learn to be loose. I will keep watching! You amazed me at the demo in April in Houston. And I loved how you kept us laughing! I wish I could have been in the workshop. Another day will come. My blood is Scottish too so I know how you feel when you go over the pond to paint and absorb the country. I am happy I found you on TH-cam. You are an inspiration.
What brand of pencil?
+Kar Zim It's an old pencil no longer made. A good substitute is the Palomino Blacking widely available. Cheers
Iain your sketch book was interesting if not more than the painting you were doing! That is not to say I did not enjoy your painting process, but I don’t use my sketch book for painting only sketching my composition and value thumbnails. So the question is : Is your sketch book a book of watercolour paper or just thick paper ?
Hi!...What kind of pencil are you using, if you don't mind... And what number?...Thanks!...Love your work!..
+Rowlandph It's an old pencil no longer made. A good substitute is the Palomino Blacking widely available. Cheers
+Iain Stewart Thanks!...
btw, thx for the technique demonstrations. very good ideas, I never really tried to paint, I only do pencil stuff, but I like some ot the tricks you do here, like when you made the gray background using a lot of water, and when it dries it gets that color etc
Really, really nice work. Thank you for sharing. I know it takes overnight to upload a video at higher data quality, but it would be worth it to see the picture not blurry, although of course the blurriness is not that important. Something to think about for next time.
i have never tried this technique to do a painting...will try this out...
