Spontaneous Watercolour - Beat Artist Block

[@bett1293]

The way you paint is almost magical to me! You begin with seemingly random blobs of color … which evolve into a fabulous scene! Like magic!

Thanks so much

This comes after painting many trees behind a path leading into the tree. Pretty fine and satisfying R Berman

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thank you

I find it helpful to see how professional artists explore. Thanks.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thank you, Delphine. Glad you found it helpful

[@jaygeecee13]

An approach I must try! Beautiful! Thanks!

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thank you! Please do give it a try

Wow. I went there once on a trip in the mid-70’s. If I remember correctly, no matter how much I walked further I went backwards. I’m not sure if something was behind me. There usually was…

Really enjoyed this. Around 7:30 I thought you might be making a pond scene, but the snowy scene was really imaginative

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thank you, William. You’re right, it could easily have been a pond scene. That’s the joy of this exercise, the painting can turn into whatever you see at the time.

Just…wow! I so love your mind, your talent and so appreciate you helping this too detailed brain of mine to let loose! I overwork everything and breaking from that has been so so hard! Your demos are helping! Thank you!

[@ChrisStephenArt]

@@melissc9264 You’re welcome! Thank you for watching

[@jimbobbluegrass]

Good exercise Chris and it shows how easy you can make something abstract into something more realistic.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks Jim. Absolutely, that’s the point I was trying to make. It’s a good exercise if you’re struggling for inspiration as it kind of paints itself

[@PKMarston]

Beautiful!

[@bparsons7337]

Beautiful! I haven't gotten brave enough to try this yet ... seems to work best with a very limited pallette?

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks so much. Be brave! I usually use the back of an old painting, so it doesn’t really matter. Also, just use any colours you have left on the palette, plus whatever you think will compliment them.
