I've been painting for 60 years, all mediums, but not so much wet in wet. You have already inspired me to give it a try. I have thousands of completed paintings, and a good variety of styles, but you have a way of presenting your work, so beautifully understated, and encouraging everyone to think, "I can do that" .I cannot praise you enough!! Keep it going, it's great!.
Lois, you are a star, I am trying my best because I have a tremor and not grumbling at 87. I do enjoy the tutorials as I am disabled and it is the only past time now, so thank you for your time Peter Wright Sheffield
Lois great painting using minimum watercolour 2 colours, thanks for sharing your talent and trying out different shades together which inspire others to atempt. Thanks greatly appreciated stay safe
Really enjoy the use of a simplified palette as well as relying on wet into wet to create incredible skies. I have never used a hake brush for an entire painting before.. I am definitely going to try it!
I love using salt. Last week I was fooling around trying to do a spontaneous landscape painting. It didn't work, but I threw salt on it and I love how it turned out! Salt can fix darn near anything. :-)
Thanks so much for the tip with the tracing paper - so useful! And I also tried the salt and similar colour scheme ... just two (even though my Paynes Grey is slightly different ... more brownish) ... it turned out very moody. I am learning so much from you! And it is fun to watch you create your paintings. What's more ... I even got my husband to try to paint a sky today 😉 ... and my son too ... we had a lot of fun. ❤
Oh my goodness! I saw the scratch on the paper (that has happened to me) and I was wondering what you were going to do - the tracing paper idea was brilliant!!! You are amazing and I am thankful I found your channel. Thank you! Beautiful work.
Love this moody landscape! Just a suggestion; maybe let people know how you remove the salt after it is dry. Assuming you do? Love watching your videos, and learning from them. Thank you.
I have yet another inspiration!! I really enjoyed your process! I do want to ask if you used “frisket” or a facsimile? It appears the paint does not absorb into the paper in certain areas at approximately the lower 1/3 area? I’m a novice and am trying to learn about watercolor! Thank you, Lois!
FA. BU. LOUS! I'm definitely going to try this. May I just ask how paint doesn't seep beneath your masking tape? I've never been able to get a clean line, AND my tape tears my paper when I remove it. Thanks for the inspiration Lois, much needed at this time. God bless.
I absolutely love this! Beautifully done and love the way you cover up the scratch and repurposed with a new focal point. One question though, did you brush off the salt or did it just desolve?
Absolutely gorgeous

I can hear cars and engines in the background. 😆kept thinking it was my neighborhood. Nice landscape, must try.

Thanks Peter, my pleasure and Happy Painting! 🎨💐🌟
Covering the paper blemish with the foreground trees really took this painting to another level.... another great tutorial! Thanks Lois 🙏🎨
Thank you so much Franco, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Lois, just found your channel and have binged watched the past few days. Thanks for such creative, fun and inspiring paintings.

👏👏👏!!!Genial!! Beautiful.
Great👍👍
Lovely painting. I've never heard of a hake brush being pronounced as Harkey 😁
Thanks! It’s the original Japanese pronunciation, as it’s a Japanese brush, it rhymes with the Japanese drink Sake 😊👍
@@LoisDavidsonArt thanks. I did wonder!
👏👏👏👏
#watercolour_painting_artech
Fantastic ❤❤❤
Dear Lois. Thanks again for a great tutorial. I wonder whether it really is a Payne's Grey, though? Best Lone
Thanks! It really is paynes grey, Cotman paynes grey is almost black straight from the tube
@@LoisDavidsonArt thanks😊 I haven’r tried cotmans paynes grey😌
Quite wonderful. On the left lower third, is that a dry brush mark? Or a reflection? It really adds to the piece.
Thanks so much, it's dry brush :-)
I have yet another inspiration!! I really enjoyed your process! I do want to ask if you used “frisket” or a facsimile? It appears the paint does not absorb into the paper in certain areas at approximately the lower 1/3 area? I’m a novice and am trying to learn about watercolor! Thank you, Lois!
No frisket, I added salt to the foreground which pushes the paint away
FA. BU. LOUS! I'm definitely going to try this. May I just ask how paint doesn't seep beneath your masking tape? I've never been able to get a clean line, AND my tape tears my paper when I remove it.
Thanks for the inspiration Lois, much needed at this time. God bless.
Oh, can you tell me what the rigger brush you are using here is? Many thanks!
That’s so lovely! I LOVE the sky! What is that big brush called!
Hake
💐👏
Thanks!
I absolutely love this! Beautifully done and love the way you cover up the scratch and repurposed with a new focal point. One question though, did you brush off the salt or did it just desolve?
I brushed off any remaining salt, some does dissolve so a bit of both!
Have you stretched the paper beforehand, before you binded it with masking tape?
Hi, I don't stretch my paper beforehand, i just allow it to swell as I paint, then as it dries it usually flattens out nicely
Lois what size in cm or inches is 1/4 sheet. I like the hint of using tracing paper
Hi, a quarter sheet is about 11" x 15"/28cm x 38cm :-)
Did you brush that salt off or did it absorb into the work?
Hi Maryanne, I brushed it off once it was dry, I forgot to mention it, sorry about that, I'll add the info to the description
Lois - do you have to brush the salt crystals off at the end - when the painting is completely dry?
Yes you do, silly me I forgot to mention it! I shall add it to the description, thanks!
@@LoisDavidsonArt So we never saw the painting after the salt was removed?
