- A speeded-up watercolour demonstration showing how I paint a woodland watercolour scene. Click johnsalmonwatercolours.co.uk to see more of my watercolour work from previous years. Watch this video • Controlling Watercolou... if you want to get more control with your watercolours. It's about a new tool you make yourself. I use one all the time.

I'm always amazed when I see watercolors like this. When I think watercolor, I always think soft edges, blurred colors, more abstract work. But You can always do semi-realistic stuff with lots of detail like this! So cool!
It was a fantastic experience learning watercolor painting from John Salmon.
Thank you Roberto it's very kind of you to say so.
I used to see watercolour as something only children painted with, but this changes everything. That was beautiful. Thank you so much for posting!
Thanks Nina Gabrielsen . You may not know it but watercolour is the most difficult of the art mediums to master. Mistakes cannot be hidden. Watercolour is popular for children because there are no nasty chemicals to worry about although many of the paints can be toxic.
Really loved the way you paint and the finished painting. Thanks.
Just discovered your blog and videos John. A beautiful woodland scene appeared as if by magic. I am inspired to get out my watercolour paints and have a go myself!
Thanks so much John Salmon, this demonstration was clear and informative. I like the limited palette and your saving some white space at your center of interest. Beautiful little painting!
Thank you +Jeff Nicla .
Such a great WC demonstration! Hand making brushstrokes on paper look so fantastic... Very detailed work and lovely colors you have selectively chosen . Thanks for share it !
I have just started doing some water coloring and found your video so easy to understand. I, like many folks, learn by watching and doing, rather than reading. I have a feeling I will be watching this a few more times while trying my version of a woodland scene. Thank-you very much for sharing your talents in a video that needs no speaking.
Thanks for your beautiful and inspiring work.
I would like it very much if you shared the color palette that you use.
I will look forward to seeing more of your full demonstrations.
Thank you!! I am having a hard time to start any kind of painting on a canvas. Your video inspires me to start small and just go with it. Very pretty painting...I love foliage!!
Thank you John. You demonstrate very skilful watercolour painting. I still haven't mastered first washes. But hoping to...
just when i thought it couldn't get any better, the painting came to life and was added detail. i personally one your work!
Thankyou for your kind comments Calista Muskitta I'm so pleased you like my work.
Thanks Calista Muskitta
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE to watch you paint!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to create and post this lovely video, and to be so generous with sharing your creative process. Its all so beautiful... the techniques, the painting, the music... This was the highlight of my day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
wonderful painting demos keep them coming john love your work
Beautifully done! I learn something every time I watch a painting video. Thank you. I did have to keep leaning my head to the side trying to see the painting the way you were.
Thank you +Teresa Webster . It's difficult trying to get a good position with the video camera. You either have it placed right in front of you and it gets in the way or on some sort of overhead gantry which I don't have. I'll work on it. :)
Incredible. You make it look that easy. No pencil used! Absolute mastery with the craft.
Beautiful painting! Such a relaxing video to watch
Really enjoyed that John, the sense of distance was incredible. Wish you could do this in real-time.
absolutely priceless, thank you so much for putting this up, I have not painted for about 40 years, I decided to start again but I was scared I had forgotten how to, but seeing your paintings brought it all back. many many thanks :-)
My pleasure. I hope you are inspired to try again. We all get scared when painting and even our mistakes teach us something which we can improve on in the next one. Good luck.
Hi, I just watched this video and the one about your charger. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain that and for sharing your process. Watching you paint is not only soothing but also very educational.
Thank you for your kind comments +bookworm62591. I'm pleased you found it useful. :)
that was amazing. i love the detail yu put into the trees. i've been practicing with watercolors for a while now and i hope to be able to make wonderful pieces of art like you. thanks for the awe inspiring video.
I love your technique. I could watch all day... thanks for taking the time to share your skills
Thank you John, It's very kind of you to say so. I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Incredible...done by a real pro, and an education just watching this one!
I loved watching your painting emerge, layer after layer. It has given me courage to go back and attempt landscapes I previously abandoned. Thank you!
I believe in you
Thanks yogarow. Do it. The worst that can happen is you waste a piece of paper but you'll still have learnt something.
Thank you for sharing your talent. I find watercolour is more difficult to master than acrylic paint, but you made it look so easy. It encourages me to try again.
Great, absolutely inspiring. As an artist myself I appreciate the work and detail that makes a good painting. Thank you.
I love your trees. The grasses and shrubs in front look realistic. Great painting!!
Thank you Diamond Lil. Much obliged :)
Love this demo...very loose..yet detailed looking at the finish!!! Great art!!!
Amazing. You are so talented. Currently taking classes after I retired and am enjoying it. Thank you for sharing your talent with so many.
I liked your work very much.Thanks for showing the technique to paint the woods.looking forward to have more and more videos from you.
Beautiful painting a pleasure to watch you create it. Looking forward to watching more. Thank you.
this painting is just so fab!!!!..kept me engrossed completely. wish you could have it in real time... brilliant painting!!!!Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks Sadhana. Real time would have been far too long and people would get bored. I did ensure to keep the relevant bits in though. Pleased you enjoyed it.
Thank you, John. I loved watching your use of the brush. I've admired some of your other work with the New Mexico Watercolor Society. Hopefully you've made more you tube tutorials. I will go to your video on watercolor control and your tool.
Thanks Judy
i love this. Honestly you did amazing. You have really inspired me to work more with water colours I'm young but i really feel like watching you I learned new techniques I can use. Great work truely is breath taking.
Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I know it is not as easy as it looks the way you paint so fluid so beautiful. But yes am encouraged to explore and take risks.
Would love to see more of your demos.
Thanks once again.
I loved watching this video. I am just beginning to watercolor and have not had any classes yet. This was very informative!
Enchanting looking fairy tale forest....love it!!! Beautiful!
I love it so much, and the charming music. It's a joyful thing to watch this video.
This is an amazing work. Love the details. I have started making videos of my work and you are an inspiration. Thank you.
Thanks Bobby.
Very well done! Of all the numerous videos I've watched, your video was the most beneficial to me. All I have ever done was oil with palette knife, I like the loose form. With this video I realized the same is possible with in watercolor. Thank you very much.
Breathtakingly amazing! So inspiring!
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful painting to us!
Love the green tones and the yellow/orange light.
Thank you Maria. :)
Darn tootin', that was a helpful video!!! It's such a lovely scene. I want to jump into it and take a walk. Thank-you for sharing your gift!
My pleasure Linzertube, pleased you liked it.
I love the dark tree trunks and your showing how to add foliage so they look like they are embedded in the scene, not an afterthought ... more like a walk down this lovely woodland path. Thank you.
Thank you Kim. I'm pleased you liked it.
I been on walks that reminded me very much of your scene, but I am way too new to painting to have envisioned where to begin with capturing it ... you've given me hope and direction!
Thanks for your kind words Kim. Good luck with your watercolour adventure.
cette démonstration est de toute beauté! merci pour ce plaisir immense.
Beautiful demonstration! Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you Capt Polybius. I'm pleased you found it helpful.
thank you John - your films are a very good education for aquarelle.
This is brilliant. Thank you for showing us how you painted this
Thank you Hel's Conceit. I hope you found it useful.
Very useful to see how you build it the detail in layers. Thank you. I will have a go.
A charming painting, great technique, thank you!
Very beautiful demo. I will follow your instructions in hopes of becoming more free and more expressive with my watercolor. Many thanks.
+Jud Watkins Thank you for your comment. I hope it helps you to be more expressive with your painting but don't forget, the more fun you have with watercolour, the better your art.
really enjoyed watching your woodland painting come together! THanks for sharing
Thank you. Pleased you enjoyed it.😀
I just love your way of painting
Thank you.
awesome. I love your style of painting
Thanks for your comment Jalpa. I'm pleased you like it.
Thank you so much. I have not painted for 40 years and was looking for inspiration, this was just the fix. p.s. the angle and camera was perfect! o' the pic of me was 30 years ago.
Hi Bill, thanks so much for your comment, it was good of you to take the time. I hope the inspiration will get you back into your painting again. Although it's been 40 years I'm sure you'll pick it up again in no time. Thank you.
BRILLIANT!! Beautiful!! Love it!
What a value-packed demo! Thanks very much. I’ll give it my best shot.
Thank you NMranchhand. Good luck with it. Don't be scared. Jump right in. After all it's only a piece of paper and a bit of paint. :)
Muito obrigada por mostrar sua arte! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Thank you Andréa Sechini
excellent. loved that demo. you are very gifted.
+Natasha R Naidu Thank you for your kind comments. I'm pleased you enjoyed watching. It's all the practice I've had that makes it look easy.
This was amazing to watch, thank you for posting.
Ah, it's lovely and so fresh! Nicely done!!
Thank you Teresa. It's kind of you to say so.
I love to do portraits ....always wanted to paint miniature watercolor scenes while traveling....love your style......a BIG THANK YOU
Appreciate if you have more ....
Thankyou nandan balwalli pleased you liked it.
This was very useful to me John. Thank you very much for sharing. You are a magical artist1
Thankyou Shirley Saywood nice of you to say so. I'm pleased you enjoyed it,
This is a very nice little painting showing talented brushwork with pleasant music in the background. Thumbs up!
Thankyou. From distant to near is best but we forget things and need to change the order as we go along. Most important thing is to experience the joy of being creative and to teach others.
Fantastic John - thank you for sharing. I am a reasonable watercolour artist but struggle with landscapes and tend to stick at what I am good at - the way you built up this painting was fascinating and I shall watch again and again and hope I can improve my landscapes.
Thanks Diana Thompson pleased it was helpful. Like a lot of watercolour painting, you have to power through the stages when you want to give it up as a bad job. Magically it all comes together in the end. Good luck.
Thanks John
Thoroughly enjoyed the demo - thank you for taking the time to share :)
Thanks Sharon. Good luck with your classes. It should be fun.
So enjoyable...I love the layers.
It's so fantastic. I love it!

Thank you Sherry, it was very kind of you to say so.

Oh thank you Marcia. I've been waiting for you to come back. Same time next year? I'll be waiting :)
I love your style of painting.
I wish I could have seen you do the foliage too.
Amazing, breathtaking masterpiece

Thankyou Leigh. I hope you enjoy your classes.
Unbelievably beautiful painting
Thank you Ann. It's very kind of you to say so.
You r Awesome Sir .... It was so much useful to me I thought watercolor painting is hard n so many techniques r there but seeing this video it seems so easy thank you for sharing ur work ... .. THANK YOU SIR
Thankyou Philip. I use Winsor and Newtons Permanent sap green but never on its own. I modify it with the other colours in my palette. I use a limited palette of Quinacridone Gold, Burnt umber, Burnt Sienna, sepia, sap green, cobalt and Ultramarine Blue. My darkest dark would be a mix of sepia and ultramarine. Hope that helps. Sap green is far too strident on it's own. A little experimentation will help and don't worry about painting too dark. It will always get lighter as it dries.
That is INCREDIBLE. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wonderfully inspirering and beautiful to watch! 😊
Thank you Sanne. I'm pleased you are inspired. :)
john your painting is fabulous
Thank you Rashmi. I'm pleased you liked it.
This is great, I love doing woodland scenes with watercolours.
Amazing to see you paint!
+cleverswede Thankyou. Kind of you to say so.
I love your watercolor techniques, I subscribe. Thanks for posting this video.
You make it look so easy, amazing skill, thanks for sharing, has inspired me to pick up the brushes and give it a go :)
de los mejores vídeos que he visto, felicitaciones.
@onceuponthecross I use a limited palette of Quinacridone Gold, Burnt umber, sepia, sap green, cobalt and Ultramarine Blue. All Winsor and Newton. I used to use Raw Sienna but it started to get frothy (manufacturing problem) so switched to Quin Gold which is better in my opinion. The greens I use are from Sap green which is my base, then modifed with either Quin gold, sepia, Ultramarine blue or cobalt blue in various combinations. Hope that helps.
Thank you. Excellent demonstration.
Thank you shaman.
lovely painting very magical , mine are rubbish but love having a go ! you have given me so good tips thank you :-)
That was amazing!!! This really really helped me. Thank you so much!
