Nice blue and yellow colors for the sky. Dark blue all around the paper and a light area in middle . Some white clouds using tissue paper. A few pale blue mountains in the distance and a brown line covering the horizon line. Now there are some small dark trees from left to right hand side. Two lands one on each side with nice pastel colors. There is a small wall with tiny rocks on right hand side which creates nice contrast with land. There is a nice blue water between lands with tiny rocks on each side. Thank you Steven for sharing this lovely scene with great teachings and demos.
Very pretty blue sky as well as some clouds. Nice mountains in the distance and small ones in front. The pretty colors of sky reflect nicely on ground. Dark small trees all across the paper and two lands on both sides with a variety of pastel colors. There is a big hill with near a very pretty wall with small rocks and a nice path with small rocks on both sides. This is a lovely painting Steven and I thank you for this new interesting lesson and demos.
I started painting along with you June-2014 and I have painted over 20 paintings. I'm very grateful for the knowledge you share which inspired me to paint. You turn every painting into a masterpiece!
I am finding your work exciting. Trying to keep up with your brushstrokes. Fast and furious, large brush. I love your refreshing style.thank you for your generosity. Denise from Australia
Nice blue color and a bit of yellowish in the middle of paper. A few dark clouds on right side as well as some white ones using tissue paper. In the distance some small mountains on left side and a line of brown tiny ones with some dark small trees in front. There is a small wall with tiny rocks on right hand side at bottom of land as well a some posts. There is also a pretty land on left hand side as well as a path in the middle of lands with rocks on both sides. This is a very lovely scene Steven and I thank you for sharing.
Excellent. Thanks so much for sharing. I learn something new every time I watch. I just need to practice a hole lot more to get to your level. Thanks again for your time. Have a good one.
Catching up on many of the missed demos you did months ago. This one is beautiful and one I will try to paint along with you...had to stop practising awhile back and now I find myself rusting out...But with each new demo I get inspired to get back to it!
Es increíble lo que logras trabajando siempre con la merluza y los efectos con el borde de la tarjeta! Admiro tu rapidez en el trabajo y el dominio que tienes con las luces y las sombras. Realmente cada demostración es un valioso aprendizaje. GRACIAS.
Really beautiful and looks so simple 😀.. Hope I'll be able to get similar effects...I like the idea of rubbing the wet paint at the bottom of the posts for shadows 😀 till the right bottom part of the grass was not painted, along the path, it looked like a wet road in the winters.. With reflections of the sky... Another angle 😀 thanks
Many thanks for your comments. Yes rubbing the bottom of the post for the Shadows is something I'd almost forgotten about doing. I don't recall having done that in recent paintings. This is quite an old one. Simple really but can be quite effective
OH that water was so beautiful as it was reflecting the sky in it and then you put grass on top of it! Made me cry 😔 but thank you for the tutorial on just simple a hake brush can be used
For the clouds very interesting demo. with tissue paper and also lovely colors. Nice distant mountains and small darker ones at bottom. Lot of interesting demo with the hill and rocks at bottom as well as the trees at the left hand side. Nice foregrounds on both sides with their rocks and lovely water(?) in the middle. Thank you as always Steven. It's always important and interesting all that you teach.
I found you by accident while in the hospital. I I think your an amazing artis. which do you use more in your paintings, your table easel pr the large one?
I generally use the large one more only because it's already set up and easy to get started. Also the angle works better for the videos. Thanks for watching David.
Hi Steven, Please can you help me? I got so inspired by your tutorials, I decided I wanted to do some large scale watercolour paintings, so I bought some 76 x 56cm sheets of watercolour paper, all ready to paint my masterpieces; only to realise that I dont have the right surface to paint them on! I dont have a huge table to lay them on. I dont have an easel to hold them. And I dont get how an easel is supposed to hold watercolour paper anyway -- they are made to hold canvas right? Paper isnt stiff so it would not stay stiff when you paint on it. So Im guessing I have to attach it to a canvas which I then slide into an easel and use the canvas as a stiff back for the paper? So I have two Qs: 1/ what kind of easel would you recommend for someone like me, just starting out, limited budget and limited studio space? I like painting at an angle so I'd need an easel which can tilt in all directions. Ideally it should fold flat for maximum space saving. 2/ How would you recommend I attach the paper to the canvas/ board so that I dont damage it and can remove it easily? Id really appreciate your tips and advice here. Many thanks.
+safi456 you can use exactly the same set up that I have. If you look at my videos you will see I have a French easel that sits almost at 90° so that it makes videoing easier. Against that I lean a 9mm piece of plywood that I clip my watercolour paper too. All you need to do is go to your local Hardware Store and buy a piece of plywood that's the same size as the paper you want to use and then click the paper to it . Hope this helps. Let me know how you get on
Steven, as I saw below that I had a comment 5 days ago, I only want to tell you if I may send you the painting I did of only the sky and sea so you'll let me know what you think of it and give your critique. I will also send you another one which I like very much and please tell me what you think.
+Mireille Romain you can post the painting on my Facebook page . Let me know when you've done it and I'll take a look. Keep practicing and very best of luck with your watercolours
Steven I'll let you know when I'll post them. I would like to thank you for your New painting of Borrowdale in Cumbria. It's a beautiful painting and I'll watch with pleasure when you paint it.
Yes Robin but to be honest the mount is only for the purposes of the conclusion of the video. If I was going to mount and frame it to hang on a wall I would consider more careful cropping
@@StevenCronin I thought that might be so. I tape my paper to the board so there's a white border when I take off the tape. That way, I know where the edge is as I'm painting ! Maybe you could get another mount which displays nearer the edge. PS. Always love your vids - like the way you just get on with it !
@@robinbest4786 cheers Robin. Yes, there's a lot of faffing about in some art videos - I prefer to just get on with it with as llttle fuss as possible.
Steven, I did try to send you the paintings this afternoon but they were returned to my box.So, will you please let me know if I can send them on your TH-cam page ?
+Mireille Romain I'm not aware of any way of sending them via TH-cam. Try posting them on the community page of my patreon page. The link is in the description
Let me see. Ask an Artist to alter the way he paints or hit the mute button. People never cease to amaze me. Thanks for the Free lesson. Will defiantly bid on this painting' "Birds".
I have watched several of your demonstrations and always found them to be very enjoyable. You make it look so easy but from personal experience this just is not so.
@@StevenCronin It's interesting how a critical comment like Brenda's can bring forth such an informative response. I love to find out how a talented artist like yourself would change an older painting now with more experience.
@@marthalynne9125 Yes, every now and again I'll use an old painting as reference and see what happens though to be honest, often the original remains the better painting!
+Steven Cronin I love your palette...shows you don't have to be fancy-dancy to create a beautiful image. I often find palettes of great interest; I am one of those who sees lots of images in the clouds
+Fay Crombie indeed there's no need for everything to be sparkling and clean. I haven't cleaned my palette for years and have no problem mixing colours. Thanks for watching

I do believe that you have taken the Ranson method to the next level with this painting, Steve. Well done!
Many thanks Tom and thanks for your generous praise.
It's always a pleasure to see you paint with such mastery and skill

Thank you very much!
looks more like painting in oil
Thanks for watching Gerhard
sorry I find this painting very dull, needs more darks it is a little boring to me
These days I would have done the distant trees a lot darker. Recent years I have focused much more on tonal contrast and values.
