  • / loisdavidsonart www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OwlsAndF... In this video I show you how I use a plastic store card to etch or scrape out rocks, stones etc in the misty watercolour seascape.
    Materials: Saunders Waterford cold pressed NOT paper, 11" x 15"/28cm x 38cm, paynes grey, sepia, raw and burnt sienna, indigo. I used various brushes including hakes, flats, riggers, calligraphy brushes, and a plastic store card for etching. My paper isn't pre-stretched, I simply tape it to my board with masking tape, it will buckle a bit as I paint but will dry flat. My board is at an angle of about 45-60 degrees. Thanks for watching!

    Wow, there’s more “clever” stuffed into that 20 minutes than any other painting vid on TH-cam. Additionally, you’re just a natural at verbal instruction. Thanks very much.

    Just came across your demonstration of scraping rocks with a plastic card. I think the painting is beautiful and elegant. I'd love to step into the picture and sit on the shore for a while gazing out at the beach. Ahh!

    It was very clear just how moist and thick the paint needs to be to get the effect of scraped rocks. I noticed you varied the shapes and sizes too, which is important - it’s easy to make them too similar in the rush to prevent the paint drying. Thanks very much.

    If I may ask one thing: is this doable with 80% cellulose paper? There is a huge shortage of materials at my local and non-local craft stores, and I have 300gsm, 80% cellulose, 20% cotton paper and that's the best they could do.
    Would it damage the paper if I started scraping?

      It shouldn’t do as good quality watercolour paper is manufactured to take a lot of heavy work. What paper are you using? 100% cotton is best, but quality pulp paper should also be ok, some cheap papers will break up quickly

Millford is made by the same company that makes Saunders Waterford, it’s another quality cotton paper made to be like the famous Whatman paper that went out of production

    • @anthonytaylor9232
      @anthonytaylor9232 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@LoisDavidsonArt Yep. Whatman was good. My favourite used to be Bockinford, but that all changed a few years back, when, I suspect they changed their source of supply. I was in contact with St. Cuthbert Mill, and they told me they had recently changed the drumming process, as a result of which, they agreed that the textured finish of the paper was, now, too mechanical. And in my view, it still is.
      It used to have such a beautifull random textured surface to it, it was an absolute dream to use.
      I came to it originally via Edward Wesson, he originally had a great input and influence on the Mill and its production. Sadly he is no longer with us - Happily I do have quite a few of his paintings!
