This is a Line and Wash demonstration on painting an evening scene with mood.
Music by Chris Martyn and Geoff Harvey. www.purple-plan...
MATERIALS:
PEN: The Uni-ball deluxe micron pen. .05 nib. These pens are extremely waterproof on my papers and can be painted over immediately.
PAPER: Size- 5"x7"
Arches 1401b HOT PRESS Paper for this Video.
My papers of choice include Arches 140lb Hot press and Cold press paper and Strathmore 500 series Sketchbooks. All are 100% cotton rag.
For beginners, I recommend starting with a high quality paper and experimenting with different types. As your style develops, you'll get a feel for which type is best. Waiting to switch to a better quality paper later will be much like learning to paint all over again.
MY PALETTE: All tube paints!
Winsor newton- Yellow Ochre, Sepia, Burnt Sienna, Winsor Red, Davy's Gray, Ultramarine, Sap Green.
DaVinci - Phthalo Blue, Quinachridone Fuchsia, Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Cadmium Yellow Deep.
A note on Davy's Gray: I rarely use this pigment straight and when using it I usually mix it with each colour used.
PAINT PALETTE::
The palette is the mixing tray from a "Koi" Watercolour travel set. The colours are set up so the ones I mix together most often are close together.
The paints are poured onto slips of paper and then stuck to the palette.
BRUSH:
A Polar Flo 1/2 inch flat brush is my current favorite. The bristle were originally white but have become stained.
I often use inexpensive brushes because several of my techniques are quite abusive.
Whenever the brush disappears from the screen it is either being wiped off or rinsed.
REFERENCE IDEAS: come from my imagination/memory, my own photos or by painting on location.
I rarely draw what I see. I tend to draw what I wanted to see. If I use a reference photo, I prefer to look at it on my phone screen, nothing bigger. I'm not looking for a scene to paint, I'm looking for an idea to paint. Once I begin drawing I'll go for several minutes before I check the reference. Sometimes, once I've stared, I never refer to the reference again.
I am currently unable to overlay an image of the reference photo as I don't have the proper software. As well, I haven't room on my current set up to simply display a photo on the work surface. I do hope to remedy this in the future.

Honestly Peter , I just watch you paint for therapy at times , the music and your art is soothing ! Good man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very kind words. Thank you
I get peace and contentment from your beautiful videos. You make me want to paint. After 10 years of feeling nothing, you've given me a gift. Thank you x
I, enjoy watching you draw. Your movements are unique.
The way you sketch in ink is truly masterful, especially how you do the power lines with such confidence and direction... This isn't something that can be taught, but rather learned through years of repetition and the building of skill...
Agreed!
Wow - love the way you paint. I'm a newbie (old'ish) and just learning a new skill. Thanks for sharing yours.
Awesome, unpretentious, using the bare basics!!
Great comment. Thank you
Your control of lights and shadows are just brilliant.. So much to learn... Another great painting.. Thank you.
Thank you. Very kind :)
I know it is not as easy as you make it seem, but so appreciate your style and sharing. Love the painting.
Thank you very much Lois :)
Just the incentive I needed to get busy and do some studies with limited palettes... Thanks Peter!
Great to hear Mark :)
to mr. Sheeler, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful gift. I could only hope to share in what God has given you. once again, thank you kindly for sharing. God bless you.
Thank you very much Phillip. Peter
Oh my goodness, so clean fresh and simple, yet looks so beautiful, definitely inspired me to have a go with pen drawing, a lot of pen drawings I have seen, seem to over complicate things which put me off trying, thank you for this helpful video.
Great comments! Thank you Patricia :)
Thank you so much for the lesson. I am trying water color painting now instead of acrylics and I am in LOVE with it. You have really helped me to not be afraid to try it. Please keep the videos coming.
Thank you very much. That is what I like to hear. :)
Talent at work! Beautiful!
I really love your art style. It resonates with me because I'm a better drawer than painter and I'm newer to watercolour. I'm a photographer as a hobby and can think of so many images I want to recreate simply, using this method. Thank you!
Wonderful! Thank you
Nice style of watercolor and pen
Beautiful watercolour...
Keep safe...
Thank You Peter, a really nice little painting, and thanks for putting up the size also. It helps to put the painting into perspective.
No problem :) Thank you
Love your pen and wash paintings, you are very artistic. Thank you for sharing your art skills.
You're welcome Donna. Thank you
A red, a yellow, and a blue makes perfect harmony. Very nice minimal palette on this one Peter.
Thanks Adam :)
I'm buying my very first set of water colours soon and I am feeling sooo inspired by this!! I honestly love this style of art so much.
Thank you very much. Always nice to hear I've inspired :)
Keep up the great work! :)
I have to thank you. With no more than your useful video, I was able to do my own, and it came as great... New follower here!
Thank you very much Ivan. That is what I like to hear :)
Guardare ammirati. Se abitassi vicino starei tutto il giorno ad imparare!!! Grazie Gianna - Udine Italia
Always delightful paintings! I learned to appreciate hot press paper from you.
Thank you very much. It's a very versatile paper. :)
Lovely and very relaxing work. Thank you !
I realy love your style! Thanks for inspiring me.
Thank you very much. Great to hear I've inspired you :)
Your sketches are beautiful!!! I wish I could draw as you do!
Very nice Peter, you make watercolor look very easy, and actually with practice and your technique it's not so difficult to achieve artist grade work. Thanks a lot, I've improved my art work since I started following you.
Thanks Jelka. Very nice to hear my techniques are working for you. Peter
Bravo! You bring out the beauty in such natural views The idea Spurs my imagination. Thank you
In awe of your broken line sketching style Peter ! Another gorgeous piece :)
Thank you April. Peter
Hi Peter .. I have been watching your videos for the last few days and I have to say I absolutely love your style. There are different ways one can approach watercolour paintings but I like your style very much and I will be honest, I will try to imitate you.
Thank you very much indeed.
Thank you very much Madhur. That makes it all worthwhile for me :) Peter
such a cute little painting..and with few watercolors!
Thank you Darlene :)
Another work of art! Thank you Peter!
Thanks Robin :)
Peter, I will be retiring in about 3 weeks and after watching your videos it has rekindled my love for watercolours. I still have a few watercolour sets (some unused) and pads of watercolour paper which will go to good use. I love the way a lot of your colours are actually mixed on the paper to give buildings and trees an unevenness of colour and texture. Thank you for the videos, I find your uncomplicated style to be absolutely inspirational to all, none more so than a humble amateur like myself..
Hi Roger. Thank you very much. Always nice to hear I've inspired. And, Happy retirement!
Thank you kindly Peter, much appreciated.
I enjoyed watching this video, it was like meditation. Love this little painting. You are talented. Thank you very much for sharing :)
+Simies Czech . Very kind words. Thank you. Peter
Captivating! ❤️❤️
Really enjoyed watching you draw!
Thank you very much. So glad you enjoy them :)
Makes me think of Christopher Robin and Pooh bear on a blustery day :)
I can see that :)
Thank you for sharing your talent, i learned a lot.
Big fan of your work... really appreciate the videos
Thank you very much Josh. Peter
Hi Peter, you’re pictures are absolutely stunning.
Thank you very much Andrew. So glad you enjoy them.
I love all your work. Gonna have a go at this one. Thank you.
I will just echo what so many have said...your work is amazing.
Merci, absolument magnifique !!!
Merci beaucoup! :)
Another great painting and I did wonder what paint you used ... no I know. Thank uou for sharing another great video x
Thank you Laine :)
This was like meditation for me.
Great comment! Thank you :)
Thank you !
lovely, just what I needed to see
Great to hear Garvey. Thank you :)
God in action ! I could visualise the sun setting slowly from the intensifying values that you used. It started with a somewhat late afternoon sun to a one closer to setting. Superb play with values. Wow 🤩
very very nice, and the music together is really relaxing
Thank you :)
Thank s again Peter really lovely. Isabel
wonderful Peter!
I like this image - it reminds me of Quentin Blake in a way. I mentioned your thin slivers of paint in a recent video of mine - I see in your description you pour them on paper then stick them in. The Large Pans by W&N have a huge block of paint in a porcelain base and you can cut them with scissors and glue them into a palette if you wish - see my recent product review of them - I thought of you and mentioned your palette during it and it might be a really economical option for urban sketchers to make travel palettes from. Each $10-25 large pan is about 20 times the size of the slips of paint you use so enormous value even compared to tubes.
Thanks. I'll look into it. I don't plan to continue the paper slips. Peter
I copy and paint. Your painting and it is helping me with my painting
Thank you very much. Always great to hear I've helped in some way :)
Beautiful!
Thank you Margie. Peter
Really nice as are all your paintings!
Thank you again! Peter :)
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you very much! :)
YOU ARE FANTAAAAAAAASTIC, WHAT PEN CAN I USE/GOOD FOR DRAWING AND THE INK IS ART QUALITY--THANK YOU

Thank you very much Tim. Nice to hear. Glad you found me. Peter

Фирменная рваная линия просто создана для скетча

Great to hear :) Thanks
Nill Rock
simply superb...
Thank you again
this is very nice and relaxing
Thank you very much :)
I love this picture. Did you use reference material? The drawing is great even without adding color. Although when you add the color it really pulls the mood together. I adore that old fence. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Thank you Mary. It is from an original idea from imagination.
HA HA! Our old friend looking good!! :)
Indeed. Thanks Francoise :)
Excellent!
Thank you very much Kevin :)
Super !!!
Thank you very much
you are great peter. Awesome painting, i will try this home ,but i m beginner so can u help me if i need in future
Thanks. Glad you found it helpful. I will try to answer most questions. Peter :-)
sencillo y hermoso
Muchas gracias. Peter
This is great! I'd love to know your thought process! I never know where to start.....
Just copy his work (for practice, not to claim as your own of course 😂😂) it'll give you ideas
What, no phtalo blue, no Sepia? Who are you and what have you done with the real Peter!? Haha, just kidding, great work as always! I have been trying your sketching style in some recent drawings, and I'm amazed how well it works. Keep up with the good work! greetings from Brazil :)
Lol. Hey Thiago in Brazil. Great that these are working for you. Peter
I LOVE your style!!! New to watercolor. Ink portion I can do, no problem. Adding the watercolor? I need LOTS of practice! Thank you for sharing your technique with us.
Hi Beth. Thank you and you're very welcome
Hi, Prayer I love your pen and wash paintings, you have a great imagination. Do you have a patron page?
Hi Peter, love your paintings especially your pen and wash paintings. I have tried a few and have surprised myself. I am a beginner and I have a question regarding your tutorials. I thought I might try and sell one of my paintings on etsy so I am wondering if it is permissible to sell my painting that I painted following your tutorial on etsy or is that breaking the rules. As I said I am new to this and I don't want to break any rules.
great!
Thank you :)
cool
Thank you :)
Very nice work
What is the name of colour brand
Funky sound track!
Thanks
😍
🇬🇧Suburb!!, Many Thanks
Thank you Dennis :)
Another beautiful painting. Thanks for sharing again, I've learned SO much from you! Just a couple of questions though...you say your "paints are poured onto slips of paper and then stuck to the palette"-why do you do it this way, why not just use the palette without the papers? How do you get the papers to stick? Do you let the paint dry before using and if this is the case, why not just buy half pans to begin with?...I'm sorry I don't mean to give the third degree but I'm just learning and have a katrillion questions--but I'll spare you :)...Again thank you so much your time and talent is greatly appreciated!!
Hi Ima. I do it this way so the colors can be easily switched in this small palette. Yes the paint is dried. Just my way and not necessarily the best way. Thanks, Peter
Thank you for answering so quickly!...doing it that way makes perfect sense as does having a small palette so that we can see it. I, for one, really appreciate that you let us see AND let us know which colors your are using each time you change...Technique was easy to learn but mixing I'm finding particularly challenging so thanks again for all you do (and how well you do it)!
My bookmark so I can come back 7:39
Peter, do you give online tutorials right from beginning in drawing and painting?
Sorry. Just these videos.
Do you do a pencil sketch before going in with ink?
Hello Joey. No I don't.
No reference photo used. Is that relevant information?I like the drawing regardless; its very nice
Many people ask to see the reference photo so I mention when I don't use one. Thanks
Love your music, where do you find it?
Googled royalty free music
Why did you do this with no reference photo? You did this from memory? Did you want to focus less on accuracy and have it be more dynamic?
Hi James. I just like to work from imagination. It's fun
Makes sense. It would come out more dynamic and lively.
Nice I like your art. Wana show you my pencil paintings but don't know how
just post a link here or on facebook
+Peter Sheeler 🤓
nice.. I used to draw with pen too. where did you buy yours
Thank you very much :) Walmart
How do you chose your paper each time? What effects do they have that contribute to your choices?
Hi Charlie. The two papers do react differently. I would prefer to use Hot press all the time. I switch to cold press sometimes because I know it is preferred by many watercolorist. No other reason.
I can't get nearly a half of the beautiful wash you're getting. Im using Koi watercolors, #6 brush on Canson 140lb paper. I can't get the colors to match right either...mine look washed out, or over saturated, or "bumpy"
Hi Tony. I don't use the Koi watercolors. Just the palette. All brands colours look different.
I just bought a 10 pack Windsor Newton cotman set, Im afraid to use them haha
Cotman paints are decent quality for the price.
Thanks Peter, you've been great! I am on instagram as illustratedtony
My pen and ink are pencil, pen, and ink, too many errors with shaky hands, need to correct too much. Thought the Newfoundland was amazing.
Nothing wrong with pencil first :)
very nice Peter ..may I ask the price ?
Thank you. I believe this one is sold. I just sell a few little ones on ebay these days. Link is below the video.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much Loriann :)
Very nice painting. Is this pencil synthetic?
The pen is pigment based
And thank you :)
Thanks....but i'm sorry...I wanted to ask about brush and not pencil. My mistake. The correct question is: Is this brush synthetic?"

You're very welcome. Thank you :)
