I love that you had a mark that you didn't like but found a way to overcome that. I would probably have given up but this has inspired a new way to look at things in future. Thankyou x
I love watching you paint Lois. Your voice is also very soothing. And I appreciate that you use very similar colors so its easier to follow along, Thanks so much! You're awesome,.
The monochromatic lends itself to a gray, melancholy, sea mood. (I grew up by the ocean in Newport, RI, USA.). Your birds are simply extraordinary! And congrats on lots more subscribers!
Lois absolutely amazing seascapes just by using minimum watercolour paints, give great detail where you've used masking paste.Thanks greatly appreciated stay safe
Dear Lois, I watch your videos and I tried this today. I did my version of it. I am new to painting, particularly watercolor. But it was quite interesting.
‘Less is more Lois’😉.....one thinks of those over cast beach walk days Lois ....when (you/I am) the only ones out there! ...lol.... Love the simplicity of this composition and the ground ‘sea salt’! ☺️ Have you tried using cling film on your paintings? Some times you get great effects. All the best Lois. Thank you for sharing your skills with us lesser mortals 🥰🌻
Hi Lois, 😂.... how weird is that...lol... look forward to the composition. Just had a bash at the ‘seagulls at dusk’, tweaked it a little - postcard size- pleased with the result. Best wishes 🌸
This is just awesome. Love your work and limited pallet. As I watch all of your videos I always hear sirens. Do you live near a hospital or police station? Just curious. 😊🎨👍🏻
Thanks! I live in a large city near a main road that the ambulance and fire service both use to access all areas of the city, as I’m near the traffic lights I hear the sirens often as they turn them on to pass more quickly through the traffic lights! I’m used to it so hardly ever notice now 😊
I love your style. I use making fluid sometimes, did you not let the fluid dry first before you wet your paper? Looks as if you used the fluid and went right into wetting your paper without drying the fluid.
Thanks so much! I'm afraid to say the only benefit is thrift, the 90lb paper is cheaper, however I recommend 140lbs as a better all round paper as it buckles less!
Beautiful piece as always. Do you find the masking tape rips your paper when you take it off or is the idea to cut it down and frame round it? Thanks in advance to any who takes they're time to answer.
My tips,make sure the tape is pulled back on itself, not up in the air, if that makes sense! Warm the tape before you start pulling it off, friction or a hairdryer softens the stickiness. I've also found that Frog Tape pulls off easier, it's a special decorating tape, and take your time!
That was really good. I will try this, just to see how I am far from your art! I'm a bit scared thinking my results.... Thanks for your time. Really kindly donate tu us.
Mairead Harkin I keep a bar of Dove soap in my desk drawer. When I use masking fluid, I get the brush wet and then brush it back and forth against the bar soap. Works good!
