So, a watercolor and gouache piece with a fantasy vibe is something I've wanted to do for awhile now. So I did. 'Nuff said!

I liked this piece of art because it immediately gave me a story - that the tree extended its root over the water for certain travelers, and pulled it up when others tried to cross!

@blacktalon1597 4 года назад

I'm retired and started attacking painting 2 years ago using acrylic. Never confident and leaving things undone, till I found you online. I switched to water colors and have watched your videos and have "awoken" to 71 years of my experiences and have a new spark to my life. I can't thank you enough for your calm, fun method to painting, it's been a real joy. Thank you for waking up an old man. Truly Joe C.

@reneeaubuchon6683 4 года назад

Bless you. I am 69 and just started painting a few years ago. It has been life changing in a very good way. I wish you the best!

What a nice comment. :) I read so many hateful comments these times, so this was just lovely to read

@sallyday8182 4 года назад

BlackTalon I agree! The Mind of Watercolor has been a favorite of mine for a long time now. I am 71 yrs. old and started painting about 15 yrs. ago. Watercolor was difficult at first but Steve is a great teacher! Enjoy the journey!

@mindofwatercolor 4 года назад

Thank you Joe. Enjoy the spark, its an exciting one!

@tmsouth1 Год назад

I totally agree. I'm 63 and started painting about 1 1/2 yrs ago. I can get overwhelmed not knowing exactly what I should be painting. The possibilities are endless. But watching the videos on The Mind of Watercolor are so so calming and makes everything seem to make more sense.

@DineseBeckert Год назад

Trees' are my LOVE, and you have just introduced me to using watercolor and gouache together! The fear of not being able to lighten IS GONE! tytytyty🤗

@colleenmcchesney1482 Год назад

Yes, please do some more of this kind of painting with the channel! I have been watching & learning so much about watercolors & gouache when you use it too. I enjoy painting trees but I’m not quite up to the exquisite details of twisted gnarled trunks & branches yet that you have so beautifully done with this one. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video & your easy going method of teaching. I appreciate it😊💕!

@deborahrodney6562 2 года назад

I love your style here. I’ve been going between Gouache and watercolor and recently discovered that combining them is the best of both worlds. Gouache is amazing and fun and forgiving.

@jopace9118 4 года назад

Wow that is spectacular! Makes me want to go sit under that tree and wait for the little fairies to come visit!

@sunshinegirl2015 4 года назад

I wouldn’t mind seeing more of these, I will eco what others have said and that is appreciating your wide range of painting styles. I also wanted to say that I really appreciate your style of video content. It is enjoyable, educative, and I can still watch your videos when I have a migraine because you keep the sound level chill.

@doumkatekz 3 года назад

Oh yes. I am not sold on the HEY WHAT'S UP GUYS style of teaching with everything jumping and flashing. This might mean I am old.but these days I appreciate peaceful happy calm things more

@bldgmaker 4 года назад

The breadth of the work you show on this channel is really one of your greatest strengths. It's encouraging to not feel the pressure to be a certain "kind" of artist. I also appreciate the realist in you... gotta feed the family... we are all faced with the complexity of that question of doing what you love for work? or relegating it to a hobby? I'm blessed to really love what I do as an architect, enjoying the creativity of design while also digging the technical bits... your encouragement in watercolor is excellent for practicing a lot of good skills...like getting comfortable while not being in so much control, lol... but ultimately I think one can find delight in many things as you have done. So I salute the breadth of your endeavors! And thanks for sharing your self and your many gifts... I am certain many of us out here are better off for it.

@mindofwatercolor 4 года назад

@kristiw.1823 4 года назад

Fantasy watercolor work is seriously missing, on RU-vid! Your painting is wonderful and almost has a Miyazaki feel... especially where you put the glade in.

@delicatesseract 2 года назад

That's lovely. I like what you're doing better than about 95% of what I see out there. Another favorite of mine in the pulp illustrator hall of fame is Gallardo. He does these marvelous dream-like images that I keep thinking about even hours after I've looked at the image. He did a lot of the Ballantine Adult Fantasy covers, which sound naughtier than they actually are.

@InLiquidColor 4 года назад

I'd love to see more of this from you! I just ran my first completely home-brewed D&D session last weekend in a fey-inspired forest and this vibe is totally in line with how I pictured it. It was also fun hearing about your experience in the fantasy illustration! There are so many things in this piece I love, but i have to say that little bush/grass on the bottom right (light green against the dark) is my favorite. The brush strokes there are so beautiful!

@mindofwatercolor 4 года назад

Hey thanks Denise! And thats pretty cool about your D&D session! I'll bet that was fun. I never got to play much D&D though I really wanted to at one point and even had some of the books. I could pretty much name all the illustrators though 😄. I primarily played miniature battle strategy games and a couple card games with my son and nephew when they were younger. I still have most of my Lord of the Rings miniatures and scenery from the Games Workshop battle strategy game. Anyway, fond memories. Glad you enjoyed the art. I will definitely do more. These days I'm especially inspired by fantasy/scifi environmental concept art being done for film and video games. Big "duh" I guess. 😂 Thanks for stopping by to chat about all this fun stuff!

@InLiquidColor 4 года назад

@@mindofwatercolor I'm always down to talk about art and games! I'm not well versed in the artists themselves which is a shame. One of these days I'll set aside some time to look more into that :)

Yes, more, please! I've told you before that I love your trees - gnarly, twisted or blue and now a fantasy tree! I love that tree root creating a bridge across the stream - that's awesome! If you were to paint "beings" in your fantasy scenes ... I must admit that I am unsure what they might look like, what type of creature is rolling around in that brain of yours (Golem-ish?). Thank you for painting another something that interests you!

Thank you for the entertainment and joy of watching your beautiful fantasy piece! I too love old trees of character. Your story of your earlier works and work in airbrush art reminded me of when I lived in Durango Colorado I lived in Peter Lloyd’s home. I’m wondering if you were a fan of his? He did art for Disney, album covers for Rod Stewart and Kansas and many others. Your piece looked like some of those fantasy works.
