How to Paint with Watercolour - Seascape Video 

/ adrianhomersham Loose expressive semi-abstract watercolour seascape demonstration video by Adrian Homersham.
Details of brushes and equipment used in this demonstration are detailed below:
Hake Brush
This is a goat haired brush that has been used for centuries in both China and Japan. It is very versatile and can be used to apply large washes of pigment and to create loose textured areas; a great for loose wet into wet watercolours. The ones I use are Pro Arte Ron Ranson branded brushes. I find these shed hairs far less than cheaper alternatives. It’s useful to have these in a range of sizes and they can be purchased as a set of 4, please see link below:

Goat Haired Calligraphy Brushes
These are again oriental brushes used in traditional Chinese ink and watercolour artwork. They are widely available from a variety of sources and are relatively inexpensive. I have a large collection of these however the brushes I use most were purchased from Jackson’s Art. I find these well made, capable of creating a reasonable point and don’t shed hairs. I use the Large and Medium sizes of this brush. Please see link below:

Paint
I use a variety of paint brands including Daniel Smith and Windsor & Newton in both the Cotman and Artist’s range. The Cotman colours are very economic to purchase and are used by both students and professional artists including Sophie Knight RWS. Colours used Cotman Ultramarine, Burnt Sienna, Alizarin Crimson and Raw Sienna.

The paper used for this demonstration was Fabriano Artistico EW 140lb NOT. This is a 100% cotton rag paper with a beautiful bright white surface that aids the creation of vibrant translucent watercolours.

Manufactured by Stewart these are very light and strong. The large open mixing area encourages loose expressive colour mixing.
