The reason why your channel has grown so is because you are not only an amazing Artist...but your tutorials are so concise and filled with excellent information! Thank you Lois for all that you do for all of us! Many blessings, Rus from Pennsylvania ❤️🎨🤓🖌
A very inspiriting quick and easy little painting Lois. I am thinking it would look great as a brown tree with mustard-yellow background, so that is what I am going to try. I too would like to see more of these short videos, please.
I am in a small watercolor group. We have different themes each week to paint. This week, our theme was a monochrome painting. Nothing called out to me, until I saw this. I can’t wait to try it. I love it. I was on top of a mountain in Yosemite National Park in the United States once. There was a dead tree on top of the mountain growing into a stone. It was called the Jeffrey Pine. It had stood there for many, many years. Finally, a windstorm did take it down. For some reason, this sketch of yours reminds me of that tree. I appreciate the inspiration and the memory.💕
Absolutely, love this.Your tutorial was so wonderful.Easy to understand and follow along.I will be trying this with my water colors.Please keep sharing your beautiful talent with us all❤
I like your approach here. It is minimalist straight forward and enchanting. I think I will attempt something similar but with a soft blue and pink sky behind. I had run across thee same tree photo some time ago and I saved it. You have inspired me to take the next step.
This was fun! When I saw this tonight it was already 4am but just had to do one before going to bed! I used my brown instead. I also apparently didn’t put enough ink or work quickly enough for the runs to go far enough but filled in with watered down gouache cause I had it on my desk…thanks for making my night honey!❤️🐝
I have been looking everywhere to learn how to get this effect. So happy to have found your channel and I thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Love it! And I love these simple projects that I can share with my 9 year old grand-daughter to help her develop her skills. Thanks for doing these videos!
Absolutely wonderful to watch - you have made something so lovely and so interesting. I love your technique - I have a glass pen so really want to give this a try. Thank you so much . :)
Love loose windswept trees. Reminds me of the windswept Eastern White Pine, that grows especially craggy around the rocky shores of Georgian Bay. It's a very iconic image in Canada. I think I need to buy some India Ink. I haven't used it since highschool art class, almost 40 yrs ago!!
Hi Lois. I like your painting/tutorial for this wind-sweep tree. I have painted this tree several times to better understand and experiment with the various inks, water misting, and fountains pens. I'm learning so much from your beautiful tutorials. Your paintings are amazing! :)
Damn that looks nice! I absolutely love paintings of trees without leaves. I would like to draw/paint just so I could learn to make beautiful trees. Thanks for a great tutorial!
This is absolutely lovely. Simple exercises like this are enormous fun and great practice. I love doing similar things with a fountain pen and water brush; turning the pen upside down allows the creation of really fine lines, and the water brush allows almost infinite blending and wash marks. I've found that different brands of ink react in different ways; Parker fountain pen ink for example splits into blue and green hues when water is added. It's fabulous for things like old wooden doors or corrugated tin roofs. 🇬🇧
This is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your methods - as a new painter, I find it frustrating trying to replicate some artist's methods (which really are successful because of their vast experience). You show how to do something simply which gives me a higher chance of success. You just inspired a condolences card I'm trying to paint today. Lovely!
This is beautiful. A style that really resonates with me. I have a very similar picture of a tree that I took at the top of Cleave Hill which I may use as my reference. can’t wait to try with the ink. Thank you for sharing your wisdom x Jo
What stands out to me is the "less is more" side to your finished picture. For so long I've fussed and almost wept over getting details how I wanted then. This type of work is a smack in the gob of the mentality just mentioned, and rightly so. I've turned to panting as a way to escape the brutal mental ill health bestowed upon by a few would be killers in 2011. (Brain damage that turns up something new and nasty now ant then, they nearly killed me 6 times over now). I always intend to use methods I've seen on you tube that shout out freedom from form, tranquility, peace of mind. Yet once I have a brush in my hand, I all to often go back to frustrating myself again, chasing the impossible. By watching Morgaine and yourself, I find a little freedom from the mental cage that entraps me, (Making life easier for my sweet wife). Morgaine sometime brings out the creative side in me that so rarely rises to the fore. I would some times write short fantasies for my own entertainment before the incident in 2011. Bu that side of me is mostly living in the dark, and bad, very bad stories rise, those that will never see paper or keyboard. But the big reason you keep me coming back, it's simply that I've grown attatched to to the character that you allow us to get to know. And the same with your sweet daughter. She's be ever kind to this weird old dude.

That is awesome, and that's what I love about art is there's almost no wrong way to do it. Like love...is in the eye of the beholder.
