You make me want to paint - love your grasses and skies. I live in Michigan and right now it seems we see nothing but snow. But I will be trying some of your techniques. Than you.
Great work Jem , a lot going on bottom left pity we couldn't see it . Would love to see your pallette too. Still invaluable teaching thank you very much for doing it. All the best Chris.
I do like the expressive and quick brushwork. I think working a bit bigger substrate helps as we need to use more of our arm to move the brush across the paper or canvas.
Thank you for putting your videos on air. Your strokes with that brushes inspire me to keep doing skies with character. And thanks for the information regarding the composition of the Chinese brush- often confusing when you read about them. I like the mops and the Oriental brushes as they encourage a light hand- touching the paper, a light hand ready to make a mark as if a kiss of the butterfly wing. These brushes glide and make marks, rather than digging into the paper.
Excellent to watch. It is fascinating to watch the shapes you make with your brush, especially the Sumi or Chinese brush. I am curious who makes it, as I have some very old ones from Japan but would like to have some for plein air in case I lose them during that mad packing up process in the rain! I have enjoyed this unedited version as one is able to watch the strokes compared to the fast forward version of the most recent one. Steve Hall has mentioned you when I showed him one of your paintings, and I will keep abreast of your schedule to see if if it coincides when I am in the UK.
Thank you, Meg. The brush I got from Cass Art, a shop in Bristol, which is part of a chain around the UK I believe. I think the brush is 'goat and rabbit hair' and very standard in the chinese style. It was very cheap - about £4 I think. I cut it with scissors to sharpen the point, and at the same time cut the belly randomly to get a raggedy mark when used on its side. Steve H is a special man, and special artist.
Love the brush Jem. It's so versatile-lots of great expressive marks. It could be an Aussie bush scene as well, trees look very similar to tall gums. Wish you had more videos. Thank you, Libby
Like your work no matter how you show it. But love the comments re; where you are, what type of hawk you’re painting, and the voice of a teacher who cares about his work. Thank you so much for these demonstrations
Would love to see more! Would be interested to know if you have books or tapes available. Audio would be great as it helps to know how you plan, or whether you capitalize on happy accidents. Luv your style and palette.
Thanks Yvette. I do mention the pigments I used, in case you are interested, if you expand the text information above. But really, colour is a personal thing and there are always many good alternatives.
A great video, and the quality is good enough for me to be able to see what you are doing without needing a running commentary. The info in your description re colours and brushes is useful too. I think maybe you would need to team up with someone to do the camera work if you wanted to show how you use your palette.Thanks for posting and it would be great to see more from you as and when you find the time
Hey Jem how about uploading your other two videos again? I enjoyed them and came along to revisit and watch them again but aaaaaaaaaaaaarrgh they are now gone!
Hi Richard. Sorry about that. I felt they weren't up to scratch. I should be adding a new video within a couple of months, possibly quite soon. Thank you for your interest!
very nice, very claire! thanks you. teacher. I need another ...teacher thanks I need that when you can do other equally silent, 35 minutes or whatever you want, in the same angle is perfect! if you show occasionally better yet beautiful palette. Nice to learn as well. Thanks
Jem I don't get it. Where has your channel been hiding? I just stumbled over it whilst accessing TH-cam, via my 'Firestick'. Mind you, would that I could afford to paint full imperial, (I saw something on your blog about this !) I know full sheets are great for skies, and free brushwork, but the problem is where would I sell them? Because sell them I'd have to, for economic reasons. I do them now and again, for my own edification, but that's it. So I am stuck with 1/4 imp. Or at the most 1/2 imp. By the way, I love your loose style, and the touches of Wesson and Seago in your work. It inspires me to keep at it, despite my accelerating descent into old age! Lol! subscribed and a like!
Ha! Thanks for your comment Jazzwayze. Yes, it's all for my own edification too, really! This is half-imperial though, and that's my regular size. This one is unusual for me in that I used Arches for it. My usual paper is Bockingford, 200lb weight Not surface. This is relatively a cheap paper, but I like it a lot. Can paint on both sides (economical, again), and no need for stretching. You're right about size and selling - would probably sell more if painted smaller. But though I make my living now from painting and teaching, I couldn't paint smaller now, just to increase sales. Love this size. All the best, Jem
Thanks Jem. Perish the thought I should stop you painting to your preferred size. I do as I please so why shouldn't you? Although, I had to stop painting in oils when I attended at my art-group, as some of my fellows didn't like turps! Fair enough I suppose! Cheers and all the best.
Thank you Aycel, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. You can find another demo of mine on youtube, which does have a commentary, but this one doesn't. I explain this a bit in the text above if you click to expand it.

hello?
Your landscape paintings are very attractive.
I am very happy to have come across this video.
I'm looking forward to the next video.
Thanks. You may easily find other videos by me on my channel here, if you haven't already.
Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you!
You make me want to paint - love your grasses and skies. I live in Michigan and right now it seems we see nothing but snow. But I will be trying some of your techniques. Than you.
Thanks, Mary.
Enjoyed the demo Jem & the painting process as a whole. Like the colours and tones in the sky too. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks for your comments, Andrew. Glad you enjoyed the videos.
Great work Jem , a lot going on bottom left pity we couldn't see it . Would love to see your pallette too. Still invaluable teaching thank you very much for doing it. All the best Chris.
Thanks, Chris. Glad you found it worth watching, despite the shortcomings.
Watched it dozens of times I'm improving but still no where near your level
@@chrishughes6588 Wow, that's a lot of times! Progress can be slow, but practise is everything.
@@JemBowdenWatercolour hiJem also painted the marsh harrier 30 times 15x11 . I'm determined to get the hang of it
Just found your channel. Love your tutorials and style. Thank you so much for the effort of putting them together.
Thanks very much for your appreciation. All the best, Jem
I do like the expressive and quick brushwork. I think working a bit bigger substrate helps as we need to use more of our arm to move the brush across the paper or canvas.
Thanks Vince. Yes, but I think we can use our arm more on a smaller scale too.
A wonderfully majestic painting! Thank you for sharing your talent and hope you post more soon.👍💛❤💙💚🧡💜
Thank you, Patricia; I appreciate your comment.
Nice work especially in the foreground excellent brush work
Thanks, Kenny
@@JemBowdenWatercolour your welcome jern
Many thanks for this - one of the most absorbing and useful watercolour films I've seen.
Thank you - very pleased you enjoyed it.

Thanks Meg, and you are welcome. Coincidentally, I've just uploaded a new video...
Absolutely beautiful. You have such a lovely style and the colours are just perfect. 🙂
Thanks very much!

Thanks Libby. You have the brush? (under another name) I will be doing another demo quite soon hopefully. All the best, Jem
Amazing! The way your every brush stroke is so measured and precise. Great style, Jem.
Thanks again, Harjinder. Hmmm, well, sometimes measured! Oftentimes gambling and perhaps lucky.
Like your work no matter how you show it. But love the comments re; where you are, what type of hawk you’re painting, and the voice of a teacher who cares about his work. Thank you so much for these demonstrations
Thank you for your kind comment, Sarah, much appreciated.
Love your videos hope you add many more
Thank you Linda.
Would love to see more! Would be interested to know if you have books or tapes available. Audio would be great as it helps to know how you plan, or whether you capitalize on happy accidents. Luv your style and palette.
Hi Gail and thank you. Did you see my other videos on TH-cam? Two have commentary. No Book yet, but maybe one day. Thanks again, Jem
Also, I have more full instructional videos for sale, on Vimeo (or via my website).
Love Pensford used to live near by some great walks and Landscapes Viaduct, Stone Circle etc. I'm sure I recognise the site, thanks for the mammaries
Thanks for your comment, Mark. Yes an attractive village with many good views around.
très explicative une démo très claire sans commentaire car je ne comprendras toujours et ça me laisse le choix des pigments merci! à bientôt
Thanks Yvette. I do mention the pigments I used, in case you are interested, if you expand the text information above. But really, colour is a personal thing and there are always many good alternatives.
Brilliant! You can feel the fresh air in that!
Thank you Alan.

Thank you Richard. Yes, would like to team up with the right person to do a proper film. Let me know if you know him!
Well done, this has given me some ideas for my own approach to my watercolors.
Thanks Uncle Terry! That's great.
Enjoyed your Demo, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Shiel.
Amazing...
Why you stopped uploading :(
Thanks for your comment, Syed. I may upload something again quite soon.
Stands comparison with Wesson,Hoar et al. Impressive
