Im soo glad,i found your Channel, and your Style...😅
You are such a amazing personality....
The Lord bless you,and your family!!!👍🍀🙏🇨🇭🤗
Beautiful painting Steve! I love this idea of painting a spontaneous wash and then making something out of the shapes :)
Thanks Eve! Yes fun and often surprising.
This is lovely. Thank you for sharing.
And this is exactly what led me to your channel, kept me coming back, and continues to inspire and sincerely amaze me. A skill like this takes many years, a lot of practice, and the intuition of a war horse to successfully pull off. I have a different method, which is so rudimentary in comparison, yet still effective for my needs. My mistake, for years, was not painting on an angle to let the water collect. That you mention Bob Ross is kind of funny, as to me, you're the BR of watercolor. lol! Great demonstration and really appreciate the narrative along with it. For new subscribers, this is gold. Pure gold. Thank you, Steve! :)
What a awesomely generous comment Mark! Thanks my friend, made my day! Yes, well rudimentary approaches are often deceiving in their simplicity. Reducing something to its essentials and maintaining strong visual elements is so much tougher than people realize as I communicated in my post on your recent video. Bob Ross is such an interesting icon isn't he? He was loved by so many who weren't even artists but who loved his demeanor. His techniques and style were nothing without that. I always hoped that if nothing else, I could connect, even a fraction as well, with my viewers on a personal level while still being myself. Not being able to do that was my greatest fear going into this TH-cam thing. Anyway, thanks for the amazing vote of confidence.
Just to note, you have succeeded in connecting with viewers on a personal level, and totally managed to still be yourself, in every way. It's what's made, in my opinion, your channel a gem among many, many stones. :)
Means a lot dude, thanks for saying so!
i wanted to try hot-press so I ironed a sheet of cold-press Arches.......it worked I think. Smoothed the texture without taking away tooth. I was shocked. btw this was all me. I was burning some Sunday Delight and I had a thought " I bet i could hot press some cold press with an iron. Well I had a texture-less end product that still had tooth and I am certain that I did not delineate the size ability to hold pigment. High times! So I used it and had fun and more Sunday Delight /wink
Hilarious. 😂 hope it worked!
Single line challenge. That drawing without taking pen from paper? I want to do...
Unbelievable, I just love your work so much. I really want to be to learn how to do this
I feel like you are carving out the trees as a sculptor would carve out a figure. Think I learned a lot about your approach to painting these spontaneous works by seeing how the ink was used then refined with a little more color. So appreciate your sharing.
You sure know how to make my day - this is awesome. I'm always afraid to be spontaneous because I don't have the intuitive vision to see what the result presents.
Love your channel always informative
Think answered my own question: It appears MG's transparent orange iron oxide is a mix of those two pigments.
WOW! This turned out so beautiful Steve! I want to give it a try but I’m sure it will be nothing like yours! Thank you for your great video sessions! I am enjoying them enormously! Happy New Year 2023!🎊 🎉❤
Interesting shapes.....
Bush shape....
What is wrong with my brain that I cannot see anything in that mess.
Then comes the ink and my brain goes " ahhhhhh...there it is"
And then the second paint layer and my brain goes "whaaaaat?.....there was no darn hint of anything in those negative spaces and now there is! Ok......Time to sell any art supplies I have as clearly I have zero imagination unless it slaps me in the face"
Clearly I am not an artist but a dabbler...😭
Just keep looking. It takes a visual vocabulary built up over time. I've been painting landscapes for 40+ years and the patterns become ingrained after a while.
Magical! I’d love to see what you could do in the Everglades of SW Florida ! Clyde Butcher is our Ansel Adams...you could be our specialist in water color and not black and white photos.
Success! Yes, I followed your method and it turned out very cool. Thank you so much for such clear, gentle instruction that leads to a successful project.
Man....I love how "easy" u not only make it look but show us it is! I'm sure that it takes skill an knowledge to make some this nice, but the idea that almost anyone can make something similar to this that looks great is just inspiring! I'm just getting into watercolor, purchased a Cottman set and a masters touch half pan set that had a few more colors and I'm pretty happy with the bbn performance so far..... now i wouldn't expect anything i make to last....but at this point, i dont think i want anything to last lol. So much fun. I've always had a love for ink, i could just slowly color a whole page black with a good pen lol. But adding g watercolor over top or after.....now my true love can play too!?! I'm in
I adore this! You’re truly inspiring.
Thank you so much for encouraging me with scripture at the end of your videos. You are an awesome w/c teacher and light/salt as well! ✝️💟
I see a notification from Mind Of Watercolor and my day is made.. Then I see that it's a Spontaneous painting and I'm over the moon! These are my absolute favorite videos you do.. Been practicing them myself without much luck but haven't given up. Any extra tips you have for these would be much appreciated, thanks ! Blessings to you and yours from your NC neighbor and fan, Stacy Hannon..
The only tips are don't mess with the initial spontaneous washes too much. The more you add water, paint, colors and such the more chance you have of everything just making one big messy puddle of nothing. If its a landscape make sure to keep some semblance of landscape organization, some upright shapes for trees and bushes and some flatter ground or water like shapes. Once the initial washes are dry look for shapes you can define further. What does something look like or what can a shape be the start of? Then start darkening the shape itself or negative painting around it to define it more. It takes a good bit of comfort and familiarity with landscape and drawing from your artistic bank of mental images. That just takes time and practice.
The Mind of Watercolor Absolutely great advice, thank you!!! I will put it to good use. Thanks to you I am now an M. GRAHAM Girl.. And Marty Owings is the reason I really like the Stonehenge papers. You two make a great team. Have you ever thought about doing a live painting demo together? Maybe you could both paint at the same time, using one subject, and compare notes on the results? And the audience could paint along.. I was also wondering if you would be having any more Hobby Lobby events or anything similar in the near future? I am only about 30 minutes away from where you did the last one but I ended up getting sick the day before and couldn't go. I have a strict rule about staying out of public placed when sick because it isn't fair to pass it on to others. One of goals is to be able to watch you paint in person.. (Hopefully without getting star struck lol) My family knows that I have in have a few favorite artists, you, Dave Usher, Marty Owings, Alan Owens, Liron, and Callen Shaub.. to name so few. I have a painting from Dave Usher and Liron in my home. I hope to add one of yours soon also.. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I know you are a very busy guy.. Hope you have a Blessed week.. Stacy Hannon. P.S. You really do favor Robert Dinero a lot. :-)
You definitely are my favorite watercolor channel. Keep this up! Very helpful!
I know this is years old, but it's new to me, and I have to say these spontaneous pieces always leave me shaking my head! I watch the blotches of paint, speckles, and water, and each time I think "this one isn't going to come out as good as the other ones I saw."
It does.
It's gorgeous.
The next thing I do will be a stab at a spontaneous landscape! Thanks for opening my eyes to this approach.
Love this, I'm going to try it 😃
awesome.wanna try this method
Spontan suluboyayı çok beğendim.Teşekkürler.
I really like that kind of "spontaneous natural creation". Thank you!
Thanks for the demo, loose is possibly where painting will have to go for me. I have been diagnosed with Lupus and Scerloderma. Only the good Lord knows how much it will effect me and my ability to paint. This is really something I need to explore after inktober wraps up. I did see that painting that Liron did of you and Reese, thought that was pretty neat. Hope you and Marty keep doing the videos as you all have time. Be well. Essie/luv4art33
Essie Tangle The best advice I can give you is to keep moving - don't ever stop even when you think you can't take another step, find a way to be in motion but at the same time, know your limits too. It is a very personal journey - what works for you may not work for someone else and vice versa. If you don't have a support system, find a "therapist" - someone to talk to. Painting will be great for you, by the way - it calms the mind that calms the soul that calms the body and, with your medication, may even help calm the pain.
Liron's painting was so fun...and flattering.
Jessie, I'm so sorry to hear about your dxs. 😢 I have lupus, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and some more stuff (like I need any more). Anyway, I do think art will help. I started back up with art in 2001, after I became disabled in '98. Arting has given me one my best mental relief, hubby being my other one. 😉 You will have hard day's, but remember you are not alone...you have support. 🤗 Find me if you need me, I am always around. Take care of yourself and know it is ok to say "no" when you need too and to rest.
Valarie Connell /DrawingWithFire thanks Val, with already having asthma I have learned to listen to my body. i know I’m not alone. I will shout out if needed. Essie
Totally agree that art is therapy...mental, emotional, AND helping with RA. Also love watching Marty and Steves’ videos BUT pleeeeeez keep them shorter. Not all of us have unlimited internet in the northwoods!
Absolutely lovely! Your enthusiasm and finished spontaneous piece are truly remarkable, particularly when considering you must have been feeling a bit under the weather with your cold. Also compliments to video and music editor(s). Thanks for the inspiration over a coffee break. :)
Cute song. Did you know the human heart does have heart strings and if they break you are dead.
Any idea who is singing ???
I'm just in awe right now. Every one of your videos teaches me something, but there are those moments where I see more than just technique, but true talent and a well honed craft. This is an absolutely stunning example of your talent. Thank you for sharing!
These are always my favorite paintings Steve. I love how you get such a pretty landscape from simple blobs of color. Beautiful, thanks
Another magical moment in time watching you work Steve. Thanks.
At the 8 minute mark the left hand side looks like a lion or even a dog! This turned out beautiful. I was on a roll with my Inktober videos and had to temporarily shut down my channel suddenly. It was a hard thing to do but I hope to be back soon. It is hard being away. But I’m putting them on Instagram for now.
Ooh sorry to hear that, are you ok?
Don't know how I missed this one ... just beautiful!
So helpful. Thanks
WOW 😮 WOW 😮 WOW 😮 This is absolutely and utterly stunning and gorgeous and breathtakingly beautiful. Steve you are a truly truly gifted and talented man. I really really love 💕 this painting too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
I enjoyed watching the phases of transformation. Thanks for sharing.
Way fun technique! Thank you for sharing. I alway appreciate the gift of your time and knowledge. I'll try this and see what I can do. PS: Just ordered a set of the Sepia Pens. Love the effect of the black; can't wait to try out the Sepia.
I’m definitely going to give this a try Steve-your painting is beautiful.
Steve, i agree with everyone else. This is amazing and beautiful. If you find time to reply, what is the green color going in around 5:07? Thanks.
I usually use a complex mix of colors (rather than a single color) from my palette. You’ll find the list in the video description. And thank you!😄
ok, Steve. I studied the list and couldn't figure it out. So little & yet sooo perfect. No worries tho. I'll be watching your magic..
I know I've said this b-4 but...WOW ! It never ceases to amaze and delight me to watch you dance with watercolor. Thanks for sharing.
Fun way to put it, thanks!
You amaze me, what a great use of a God given talent.!
What a lovely painting. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 You’ve given me some ideas. I’ll have to try this technique.
So amazed at how you transform that colorful blob into a very nice painting.
Really beautiful Steve. It's so amazing to watch how you bring it to life.
Sin palabras para expresar lo hermoso que es. FELICITACIONES!!!!!
I really do like this. Watercolor scares me---every time. I am thinking this approach just might help. Thank you.
Really a cool video. I actually think I will have more success doing the paint-then-ink rather than vice versa.
Very cool. 👍👍👍👍
Wow Steve you are a magician..... Make it look so easy but it is not...... Thanks for your patient teaching.
Watching you and a Irish and English watercolor artist got me wanting to give it a try.Thanks
Learning lots! Thanks for the inspiration and instruction. Romans 1:7b
Brilliant!!
incredible Steve
I call this intuitive painting, and it's my favorite way to paint. I am drawing and sketching, but I love to mix up palettes and when finished, see what I can "carve out of it" with ink or gouache even. Great video. Beautiful painting and a good look at how M. Graham behaves. I will likely buy a set for myself-maybe at Christmas, haha! I have a lot of watercolors to use up for a long long time!!! I do have M Graham Tit. White Gouache. It's pretty good!
Wow I love this tecnigue! Unfortunately I tried it and it did not turn out as well as I hoped. Need more practice. Beautiful work
I absolutely love your spontaneous paintings! Hope you feel better soon!
+Pamela Goodman thank you!
I always wonder how come my smooshy colors dont do as i wish, and your smooshy mess is five minutes later reminding me of the 100 acre wood? I have a feeling i must practice practice practice.....and then put my helmet blast shield down maybe?
You continue to wow me. I’m not good with the inking but having that come from organic color. I may have to try it, even though there is potential for death and destruction if I attempt it. Keep up the good work!
Again, another fabulous creation! And I love your selection of music, so soothing, in perfect harmony with your artwork !
Love the technique, can’t wait to try it. Also, the music was perfect. Thanks Steve
Beautiful. I'll try this one as soon as I finish the tree portrait. Thanks!!
Steve, I was absolutely mesmerized watching you create this sketch. You have inspired me to try spontaneous painting. Thanks so much, I always learn something new every time I watch your videos. Blessings. 💞💫
Thank you for the great videos you do. Great choice of music too...I couldv'e sworn it was Debby Boone, til I looked. It is a pleasure to watch how you paint & draw.
What a great project! I tried it anti actually came out pretty good - my underpainting got a little muddy - I can't wait to try it again. Love your channel, I always recommend it to people. Thanks!
Wonderful !
You always have the best music in your videos 💗
Thank you so much for this - I'm definitely going to try - I really like pen & wash but never quite know the best way. I love the way watercolour does it's own thing but it doesn't really work to it's best ability when trying to paint a scene. Love the idea of just letting it do it's own thing then making something out of it. I live in North Yorkshire, England.
i love spontaneous abstract. Thanks I will do that right now.
Wow. Thanks.
Very very good!
That t-shirt :)
I love this.
Thank you so much :)
Similar to marker sketching. Using some very light copics to block out shapes then pen them.
Great song! And beautiful demonstration, thank you!
Wow, this was so amazing to watch this morning after early Spurgeon, it came together beautifully to begin a lovely Thursday morning.
Enjoyed watching this. Greeting from the Netherlands
Mostly I do line and wash. But this is stunning. And such an inspiration of my other aim on inking. Thanks a lot. For breaking my stuck on ink fun.
I just found you....LOVED THE PAINTING!
Loved this
You rock!,,,
Excellent my friend, very inspirational. Thanks
Thank you!
What FUN ... that is an absolutely fantastic idea! Thanks so much!
I really love your style of painting, I've never seen anyone paint like you. I think it really awsome and beautiful.
Great piece
Sir, I like your Star wars T-shirt
Brill! Just love your style! Good teaching, too. Thanks much!
This is inspiring I want to play with this approach. Thank you,Steve, God Bless
OK, I realize I'm late to the pahdee, but I'm eating up every slurping up every juicy moment of every MoWC video I can find & almost every one leaves my heart palpitating & my senses reeling... This one resonated soooo much with me! I envisioned doing something like this when I first considered putting my foot in the watercolor pool... somehow finding a bridge between my background & training as a professional interior designer (renderings in well-behaved colored pencil & markers) & the unpredictable, mysterious, murky depths of this new-to-me medium... & here you've tacitly & stupendously given me permission to pursue my whim! Can't wait to try it out! Thank you, thank you!
So kind Kathleen and so happy you're enjoying the channel!
Thanks for this.....I love it and it touches my heart! You and Reese rock!!! Love the music!
Excellent
Love this! I tried one tonight, but the first thing I need to do is practice laying down paint with a one inch brush!
Inspirational ! Thank you....I'm way too tight....
Love it!
Fascinating watching your decision making!
I just loved watching this come to life, amazing. As a beginner of about a year I am still finding my way so seeing you create this was awesome. Thank you.
Ever since I found you, I havent let you go! You are so complete in your teachings. And I trust you, in what you say. Besides you convey decense and a sense of humor. Thank you, God bless you and continue to help us.
I totally enjoyed the process of watching this painting come alive. I’m going to try it.
Love how this came out. You make it look so easy. You are very talented. Enjoy watching you!
Amazing
