"I can't paint or draw anything" is often the most common thing that I hear people say when it comes to art. My response to that statement: of course you can, everybody can. A lot of people even say I can only draw or paint stick men (isn't this exactly what L. S Lowry was loved for?

I believe there's an artist in everybody and like every journey, no matter how far the destination it starts with a step.
For me this journey started when I was around 16 years old when I discovered watercolours, I became fascinated with this medium and just loved how the lost and found edges looked on paper! I bought my first cotman pans and my journey began. Like I said before it doesn't matter about the destination, Im still learning and travelling and as long as you enjoy painting that's important too.

After a number of years with watercolour as my medium I ventured into the world of oil paints!!

Wonderful! Not many use rough paper but I love the way it makes everything look as if you can actually touch it (like rocks). Fabriano Artistico line is 100% cotton. Once again wonderful painting & demo 👍

@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478
@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478 10 дней назад
Yes I know somebody else said that to me before pretty crazy eh? I guess just don't mix them or mess too much coz you may end up with a green sky

Bockingford is very very good non cotton paper, very versatile. I just received one of those (Hot Press) in the little book, 5x7 I think it is. I wanted to try it too😊. I have several of their Cold Press in that size. Just remember, hot press requires more water control than cold press because of the absorbency rate & smoothness. Your try out with hot press is going great, nice pic👍
@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478
@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478 10 дней назад

The right wing has embraced some ideas presented by the Charlie Brown Character named Pig Pen. In other words right wingers embrace being as filthy as possible while behaving like a child. From this basis comes the persona of Sarah Huckabee Sanders...

Dave, you may know I don’t understand very well English language. To watch your aquarelle paintings is for me also a try to learn English in your pleasant relation. I am finding you are progressing in this art and I am feeling your any sadness and relative sight of life in your paintings. Stand a well person ,Dave, I don’t want to disturb too much . Thank you for the musics, I am enjoying them very much !

Thank you for this painting, image of free life moments, aren’t they ? I am not sure to be abble to like living in such fresh and rustic conditions, but I like to dream of free life , if it does exist Were you giving an invitation for meeting us ? Damage, I can’t drive my car alone to England ! I am a quite old women of more than 60 years old very often, now, do you know this ? And English talkings are not always easy all to understand for me. But if you want, could you give me a visit in France ? Thank you for your patience and your happy music too .

Mr. Cool thanks lol I wish I were cool :). I don't mind being compared to Bob Ross it is a high compliment. Just to say since I watched the whole video, the way I do my skies is I mix the white in with the paint, I didn't see much of a difference here either I think you probably did not mix in that much. It takes on an almost pastel look the way I use it. I will say it looks like your granulated nicely. also it looks like it lifted more easily. Thx for the shout out.

Chinese white does work it's only semi-opaque. Usually it's zinc white whereas the W&N permanent white is Titanium.

@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478 Месяц назад
@joemenzaart Yes I thought while using Chinese whites it's more of a semi opaque and would definately prefer the white gouache if I could find it, maybe I'll have to buy some more. As if I need an excuse to get more supplies lol 😆
