Hi Gretel! It is always great to see what a painting will look like on the wall! It surprises me sometimes as it's not always easy to imagine what it will look like all framed up etc. Mungo National Park sunrises and sunsets are just amazing!
Hi Chris, I know what you mean. When I saw Lena Gemzoe paint in this way I immediately loved it! Watercolour really can do some amazing things! I do love it! I’m about to embark on a commission that will be the largest watercolour I’ve ever painted. 2.5m x 1m! I’m pretty scared! Thanks for watching! 👍🙏
Thanks Katherine! It feels very strange to not really now what is going on to a certain extent! But I do love the different marks and effects you wouldn’t get from the way I normally paint. Glad you liked it!!👍
Thanks Joe! I’m going to do some smaller works coming up so they are not all just large and abstract. It is quite different to using a brush all the time though! Very new to me! Thanks for watching! 👍
Hi Mairead! Hope you are doing well in Dublin the fair city! Watercolour is such an amazing medium! I also love abstract work! If you have any questions about the medium of watercolour feel free to ask! Thanks for watching! 👍🙏
@@ScottSwinson Thank you, i started of in oils then acrylics and now for my sins watercolours, we are all well here, but still in lockdown, keep safe, have you being to Ireland ??
@@maireadharkin5124 Hi Mairead. Greetings from County Clare. I was born in Dublin but not lived there for many a year. I'm fairly new to watercolour also. Do you follow any other artists online?
Hi Mairead, yes I’ve been to Ireland a few times. Down to Dingle many years ago with fungi the dolphin and soooo many pubs with such great music! Great part of the world! It must be hard with lockdown not being able to gain social connection in the pubs! 👍
Yes it’s good fun! It definitely produces quite unique marks on the page! I actually like my first attempt the best! Often the case!! Thanks for tuning in! Sorry about the auto focus! Annoying! I sometimes forget to switch it to manual focus! 👍🙏
Hi Rina, it is an interesting process that I’m quite unfamiliar with. I use Rives BFK etching paper but you could use any watercolour paper. Probably 300gsm cold pressed would be good. Thanks for watching!! 👍🙏
Hi Phyllis! Sorry about that! I am gradually improving things including the audio. I now have the mic on a boom arm which makes it better snd I don’t talk while the music is on! 👍
Hi Joe, I put music in as there are big chunks of time where I’m not talking. I find talking and painting at the same time quite difficult especially if I’m painting something that is taking a lot of my concentration. Sorry to hear you don’t like the music. My more recent videos have less music and not when I’m talking. Happy painting mate! 👍
