ฝัง

- I dive a little deeper into using masking fluid techniques for light grassy elements over a dark tree-line background. A great way to get tons of intricate detail surrounded by delicious, contrasting, deep color.

I like that you keep painting and don't stop until you are truly sure you are done! All the extra little strokes of color enhance the atmosphere of this painting. Makes me want to be there! Thank you!
I am a retired HS art teacher from Missouri and I used to have the students splatter and lay down colors in class one day. Let it dry and come back the next several class periods and create a finished painting by using and manipulating the shapes. I just found your channel and subscribed immediately.
I must be careful. Watching your videos are becoming an addiction! 😄. I’m learning so much... thank you.
MARY ALTABEV indeed.
I re-watch this from time to time as a "refresher" in your spontaneous painting technique and never cease to be amazed at your ability to making a cohesive and beautiful composition "emerge" from somewhat random splashes of color, much like a sculptor freeing a form from a piece of stone. Very impressive work and you make it look easy. You know where to add and how far to go but also know when to stop; a very practiced eye and a great deal of talent. Thank you for sharing and inspiring. At this date, this video has 202k views - please do not ever take it down!
What a beautiful painting. Starting off with just a few broad washes, I never thought you’d get a result like this from it.
Love watching you. You’re an inspiration.
Love the background music as well.
I've been practicing my landscapes and they are improving Steve ,I really like how you do the background trees ,so thankyou!
Heather
Oh, how beautiful and ethereal those background trees are!
I love the way the ochre colored mound almost looks like photo-realism juxtaposed against that dreamy looking background!
Words fail to describe the beauty in this painting! I've saved and continually looking at it..colors, hard/soft edges, lifting, blending, glazing, frisket application, etc...I'll use white pen if I can achieve this masterpiece! Lol...You were blessed with God given talent with years of painting! Thank you for so kindly sharing. You are also gifted teacher!! I feel you started teaching on TH-cam & continue OUR benefit instead of being simply driven by ego, or other self-serving motives....May God Bless You as much as your have blessed me. Nancy
p.s. I know it would be long video but I'd love to watch entire video. I believe it would help me with background trees & details.. I'm missing something
It amazes me that you can see rocks out of no where and put them in. I would love to learn that and how you put the big trees in the background. This is gorgeous!
I love the music you put in around 14:09. It's really enjoyable to listen to while you make this.
Excellent demonstration of the use of masking fluid. However, what I liked most was the way you did the background trees, so simple and so effective. Thank you
This one is my absolute favourite! It could not be better, now I know what can be done with masking fluid.
thanks for sharing these secrets with us.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful painting techniques. I love everything about this composition. The depth, the complimentary colors and the layering of colors are incredible.
Wow!!! Beautiful!!!
Mesmerising to watch... Beautiful
Love your tutorials and all of your videos, Love your sense of humor, love the verse at the end. I learn soooo much from you. I thought I was the only one to let a painting sit for a little while to, as I say in my head, "let it cook for a while", then work on it some more with fresh eyes.
I fell in love with the painting!! The movement of the watercolours is truly magical
I've been looking at your videos for the last couple of hours. Trying to get back into watercolor after 20 years. It has been more difficult than I expected. I love this one. The trees in the back are a fantastic color.
You are such a skilled painter and teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Such a gorgeous painting!!!!!
Always love and am amazed at the beautiful pictures you create. Your videos have helped me greatly improve my technique so thank you!
Beautiful work and great demo (on a much needed topic!).
I love the music during the time-lapse too! (:
the result is breathtaking. thanks for showing us how to do it.
So exciting to watch this painting evolve. Thanks again for a great learning experience Steve.
A very interesting painting
i liked your masking fluid technique on that. The colors were bright and stood out. I will definitely try this painting. Dana
That is so pretty
Love your wayercolor paintings.
i just love your more detailed tutorials. i always learn so much from you. ty for all your sharing :)
Simply gorgeous. I especially love the look of those background trees (the part you didn't video while you were doing).
Wow! I love this painting. Thanks, Steve.
One of the best tutorials, so much to learn from, please please more of this. Thanks plenty.
What a gorgeous painting! Fascinating to watch, too. Thanks!
Beautiful piece Steve.
Simply magically exquisite Steve. Love, love, love the colours.
Don't laugh Steve, but I see animals in clouds all the time and I can see in the blue trees a little poodle on the left and a lion face on the right. I learned a lot watching this video, as I always do from you. Thanks again.
Simply amazing. I know there is nothing simple about it. Spectacular.
Steve, this is awesome as usual! A suggestion: you can also use masking fluid to mask out areas that you have already painted. Sometimes there are very light areas or reflections you want to preserve, so put your mask onto that area, then paint on with confidence that you're not going to lose them. I've tried it, and it works. Hope you find this useful. I love your videos, and have learned so much - thank you!
Thanks! Yes, I'm aware you can do that. Not necessary in this case because painting around those established highlights is easier.
I'm sure I'll watch this video again and again. This was wonderful and your painting is beautiful. Thank you.
Absolutely stunningly breathtakingly beautiful. Your style is so unique and dreamy....I looooove it!!! 💯🙏🏻😍
Thanks again for all you do Steve! Your videos are all excellent and you are helping me take my paintings to the next level! 😎
You did it again! Thank you!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... just started watching your videos as I am brand new in watercolors. I just love all your tutorials. Really the best out there, hands down! Loved this piece. Love watching you work. You are a gift!
I love drawing and watercolour especially for this reason, at about 8:30 I was looking at it abstractly then suddenly it became a bank with dirt and greenery and depth! I guess the colours settled around the mask about then.
Great painting and I needed that refresher course!!!!!!!!!!!
Really loved this tutorial. I tell everyone I am going to TH-cam university to learn to paint. Thank you so much for all your help.
Great artwork! Wonderful control in an uncontrolled medium! Lovely!
Wow...I just found this one! Its the cover photo in the course! I love the trees!
Such a great video and learning process... Time to go practice again...
Awesome painting.
Gorgeous!
This is so beautiful and a wonderful tutorial for how to do grasses and weeds! Thank you!
Love it as always. Love the little touches you add to make something out of nothing
I love this painting, it's a beautiful piece of art! It's so fun to see art from other another person's talent!
Thank you thank you for sharing your amazing talent. I am learning so much!
I'm so glad!
In every video I learn something new, thanks for sharing, you are a gem. 😊💎
Thank you for sharing this.. I’ve been experimenting & practicing using masking fluid & glazing.. Tremendously helpful!!!
I love everything!(the music is just so good too!) The painting is beautiful, "joyeuse innocence et rêverie" are the feelings suggested to me.
Inspiring to watch. Breathtaking results. I do believe this is your best tutorial to date, Steve -- thank you! Heading back to watch it again ...
My sincerest thanks for this tutorial ... just what I was needing with a painting I’m battling with!
Love watching you, you make all things possible with practice. (Love your humour, you’re a hoot!)
Another outstanding instructional video. Thanks so much. Your videos always are the best as far as explaining the techniques you employ. Thanks again and keep them coming :-)
Excellent. Very helpful to hear your thoughts about your decisions. Turned out beautiful. Enjoying your series so much.
Wow. Loved watching the process of making this scene. You’re an excellent teacher. Jeanne
Thank you for creating this tutorial on a loose painting landscape. Lots of good information on blending and using masking fluid with rubber shaper and old brush. It has been very helpful and I will give it a try. I like all of your tutorials, you encourage us and make it fun to try. Thanks again for making this one, my favorite.
Truly inspirational. I was having thoughts of giving up before I saw this.
Thank you
Wow! Amazing! Thank you!
I've learned more about how watercolor works from watching your spontaneous paintings and trying it myself than from any formal technique video. You really showcase the importance of painting with value in these demos, as well as teaching us flexibility within the medium. Please keep making these.
beautiful work !
Just gorgeous. Great tutorial. Thanks!
very nice..love the subtle details in the background trees.
Beautiful!
Wow! This is beautiful 😍
Just learning about masking fluid in my painting classes. This was a terrific tutorial - can't wait to try it!
Fantastic! I'm definitely going to give this a try....absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful.as usual. I love. How you applied the watercolor pencil.drawing first..it makes so much sense. Thanks again for a good teaching vedio. God bless and have a nice day
Your work is so dreamy. ♥I have some Frisket but I could use to try out your technique but... now I want to get a Gelly Roll pen.
Fantastic tutorial!
Thank you. I appreciate that you share your talent and skill in ways that make sense. I seem to be especially taken by this tutorial as I have watched it several times already and seem to see new things every time. Hope to get back on Patreon in July.
Excellent demo, Steve! I believe you have helped me with some of my technique problems.
Magnificent!!!
So beautiful!!! Learnt so much from this session..... the best so far...
Magical... Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding work. Your videos are so informative, and your work is truly breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your gift and your knowledge with everyone.
Yeah, thrice yeah! Learned so much! Thanks, loved it!
comme d'habitude j' adooooore ce coté magique et nébuleux... Merci
I really love this artwork, amazing watercolor paintings..
Amazing teacher
Great work!
fantastic, love the masking fluid technique
thanks
Love watching your work.
Es UD un verdadero maestro de la técnica y de la espontaneidad en acuarela, este trabajo que UD comparte y por el cual le doy gracias, muchas gracias es : *un sueño pintado*
Demuestra UD una gran generosidad!!!!!! Por el Arte!!!!!!
oh wow this just looks so amazing! I love it so much. That forest is absolutely gorgeous, it's so mystical, it just love it. I think i'd have skipped splashing the dark paint in the end, but it makes only little difference.
Awesome tutorial mate I love how you explain what your doing, this is the first video of yours I've watched, but I already know less than halfway through that I'll b watching alot more and definitely subbing, 😀 cheers mate ✌️
Nice work Steve...again!
Would love to see just how you did the background trees. especially the trunks. Thanks for your postings and the instructions.
This might be frustrating to you but I would have loved to see you fiddle in those trees . To an experienced artist you'll say it was just scrapes and light strokes but to me it's a process and flow I need to master . Great video btw 😉 .
Thanks Tracy. Which part are you referring to? The lifted tree trunks and distant bare trees that didn't get on video? Most of the rest of it I showed I think.
Just beautiful! Thank you!
Does anyone else see the two birds in the painting? A huge fuzzy bird with a lighter beak over the right side and a small one facing to the right on top of the clump of trees. Brilliant !!
Yeah that was planned...ok... no it wasn't!
@@mindofwatercolor lol. Got lo love the way watercolour designs some of it's own nuances!!
Should be called spiritcolour !!
You're brilliant and inspiring and talk in layman's terms.
I have learned amazing things watching you paint and people have started paying me well for custom paintings God bless you richly
I love it! Thanks for sharing!
Very impressive, thank you for sharing..maybe now I will be ready to move on from just birds and flowers!!! Beautiful!!!
Wonderful! thank you!
