A beautiful sky is an instant painting focal point. In this video, I'm demonstrating my process for painting from a reference photo, using a wet-on-dry technique that gives beautiful soft flowing color with more control than wet-in-wet watercolor painting.
The most expressive paintings show the heart of the artist, and I talk about how I get to the heart of what I want to show in my paintings in this demonstration. The teacher in me can't help but share tips on watercolor painting, color theory and mixing and brush handling in the process!
I'm launching a brand new course, "Heart-Led Landscapes in Watercolor" and this interactive series opens June 1st. Find out more here: bit.ly/2JBv8UR

I’m mesmerized in the first 5 minutes. The sky is just unbelievable!

@TXDHC 3 года назад

I've been working on a desert scene and I think from this "lesson " you've shown me that I should try yet again and rearrange it! This will be no. 6! But you really helped me so much. Thank you!

@tyedye571 5 лет назад

I'm just a beginner and don't think I could pull this one off yet but wow. I watched this twice. I love it so much!

@TrueLoveX1027 Год назад

I am not in the least bit, an abstract painter. With that said, the motivations such as what your painting says about you and how what you are painting makes you feel are just as important for more realistic artists. For that reason and that I adore your art, I pop in from time to time to see what you are up to. I always leave with something important that I can apply to my own style of watercolor painting. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful use of color, your instinctual processes and your talent. I find both you and your art to be a great blessing.

@twicebittenthasme5545 5 лет назад

As an artist, one doesn't show what is there. It is the process of allowing the viewer to "see" what isn't there. And you summed it up exactly with your a statement of "showing what you've experienced" in your work. Excellent thought and video. Thank you for sharing this...

It is so lovely..thanks Angela❤

@gorway7 5 лет назад

I love those skies that give you a sense of depth and drama - you can feel it expanding as it comes overhead.

@susancuss5168 5 лет назад

I love the softness in the sky against the crisp darks of the foreground. I agree that one can find more freedom and spontaneity in repeating paintings. I find that's when my own style grows stronger. Thank you Angela!

@ruthdavmor1611 5 лет назад

I really loved the discussion of the journey from what we see to what we feel and what we want to express.Thank you.

@1876Susan 4 года назад

Angela, as a new painter I found myself frustrated and I put my watercolor away for awhile. Then I watched one of your videos and I pulled them out again. You're a great teacher. Thank you.

Wow! My favorite colors and your tutorial seems so at ease. A gentle beauty. Thank you.

@patytrico 5 лет назад

Yes! Redoing a paint is not declaring the other(s) a failure, instead exploring more of the feelings that the image evokes ;) Thank you for a beautiful opportunity, teacher ;)

@carolehague Год назад

I love your work...I painted in my younger years while my boys were in school. i had a very successful painting at that time. I am now 78 and picking it up again. I can not believe what is available on line. I am very happy I found you.

@angelfehr Год назад

I learned to paint before RU-vid and it's so wonderful to be able to see and share resources to help artists grow. It's a new world of availability, for sure!

@debbieglass1072 5 лет назад

@Rockymtnbloom 5 лет назад

The sky is so nice and expansive! The soft rays are what make the sky to me.

@dorothypryor9038 3 года назад

It had never occurred to me to try and evoke what I feel when I paint. l thought I should be painting my interpretation, not feelings. Thank you, Angela.

@annettefournier9655 5 лет назад

Thanks Angela. Beautiful painting philosophy. Gorgeously painted ! I could make a right mess out of that I tell ya.🤗💙

Beautiful Angela. Your best Fri demo! (for me). Thanks.

@bonitalaserna9252 5 лет назад

Angela - you constantly amaze me - still trying to paint more loosely and not create mud! Love your style and want to adopt it, because it is what my "feeling" of what watercolor should look like. Still struggling, still trying! Love your philosophy and style!

@henryrodriguez6435 4 года назад

You continue to be such an encourager and authentic to your art. I love watching you teach!

@cassiescreations9828 5 лет назад

Wow! It's perfect. I love this painting and those streaks in the sky. It's a beautiful scene, a beautiful sunset and you painted it well. I am glad that you kept the foreground simple. By the way, I love green and purple together!!!Great video - thanks!

@peterreichert7260 4 года назад

This was a very nice demo. Thank you. I really like your thinking process, not just about the painting process but also about the, let's call it, philosophy, of making art. Well done. :)

I just found this video...SOOOOO EXCITED TO TRY IT TOMORROW....purple is my favorite color. I'm VERY NEW to watercolor and so far, I'm loving your channel....thank you!

@dennismajor1 5 лет назад

I have had it my mind that doing a first and then subsequent painting(s) of the same scene or object is very important for experimenting and learning. It was nice to see someone of your skill level reinforcing the idea that attempting a given painting more than once is important for incrementally improving artistic ability and the painting itself. Thank you for being being open and honest as a teacher - the best teachers are the one's where you feel they are not holding back in demonstrating how they were once where you are now as a student and how they got to where they are as a skilled artist.

@cindihinnendael6197 5 лет назад

Love this, Angela.

@dharmaofdog7676 4 года назад

Interesting that when you added those stronger clouds, I suddenly noticed the pink in the Sky. Beautiful ! Now this Painting is ALL about the Sky as everything in the composition now points to it & that huge expanse of green field takes a second seat.

@deeporter7369 5 лет назад

Angela, you are a very good teacher......I have been trying to paint more intuitively and your lessons really do help me. I just started watercolour last year ....it is quite the opposite of my usual acrylic painting....but I am progressing and feel that I am ' loosening up '.... I look forward to more of your instruction. Thanks so much.

@barbarawickwire9509 4 года назад

The sky is feeling awesome, so beautiful. You are such a gifted teacher, I feel blessed to watch as you explain your thoughtful, feeling decisions about your next move and colors. Just so helpful. Thank you very much. I’ve been painting with acrylics for decades and now at almost. 77 I’ve become entranced by W/Cs. I’ve been watching your videos on my tv for 3 months and others as well, but you are the best. Loved the 4 studies on one pg that I just watched.Thanks for making free videos for those of us who cannot afford to pay for lessons.

Thank you Angela for another jam-packed vid, your information and instruction is feeding my needs as an (dare I say?) intermediate w/c artist wannabe. You really know how to share and encourage. Thanks for letting me know in this (yet another free tutorial) about the ways I can access more time with you in all your internet offerings. I continue to save toward attending an in-person workshop with you, somewhere, some time.

@Ms1lonewolf 5 лет назад

Hi Angela, the painting is beautiful. I think you did a great job of painting this scene in the reference photo. Your right not supposed to be exactly like the photo, its how you interpret what you looking at is what you paint. Thanks for sharing.😊

@joycesnodgrass7068 5 лет назад

Redoing is my theme song! I'm finally at a point where I embrace painting a picture several times. My granddaughter wanted a Stargazer Lily. I made five paintings...finally, the 5th painting made me smile and I knew that was the one. On another note, Angela, welcome back to this Friday evening!

@ilsehviid6487 4 года назад

@sharynfogel3446 4 года назад

@taylordonaldson4576 5 лет назад

Taylor D. Angela, I especially love this painting! It did seem to come together from emotion and in your personal artistic style. This painting evokes emotion in me as I watch you create. One thought I have is I know every single artist, creator, presenter that participated in the recent Sketchbook Revival will benefit from not only your painting; yet also your personal descriptive nature. I have forwarded on to some. **I am eager to sign up and enjoy your new Landscape Course. Thank You!!

@pstutor1 5 лет назад

You sent me on a hunt to find the first theorist who wrote about signs and symbols - using cave drawings as an example and I cannot find it!! Anyway, because I learned that I can really understand what you are saying about signs and symbols. Funny what will resonate with you! Good stuff Angela.

@judybreedlove5348 5 лет назад

Thank you, Angela, for saying it's okay to do over a painting. I'm currently painting a landscape of a family's beef farm. It's been in the family for over 100 years. They want a landscape that shows a broken down barn, some cows and the green land. The only problem is, the only photo I have to go by was taken in the winter when the large expanse of land is brown. The trees are only dry limbs and, it is out of focus.....LOL. I'm on my second try. Talk about using my intuitive imagination! This lesson you just posted helped a lot and gave me permission to add purple for my darkest darks.....love it. I have a touch of Aliziren Crimson in the sky. So, even tho I've treated the bushes and trees in the distance with a muted green.....I'm going to add a light glaze of purple in front of them......they reach all the way across the painting. Of course, when I do that, I have to use the purple other places, such as shadows on the dominant Oak tree by the falling down barn. I'll also put it in the shadows of the barn and shadows under the black cows. This painting isn't going to be as loose as I'd like it to be because, my customer is very explicit on what they want to see in the painting. Sorry this is so long. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this video. When I finish this commission, I'm going to do my own loose landscape.

@a.o.3725 5 лет назад

wow! This was been my best painting experience with you in ever!.. I was totally with you the whole way and could feel the emotions as you explained it. I can't wait to create a painting that gives me a repeat of this class experience. REALLY GREAT STUFF! THANKS Angela, I really enjoy working with you and learning as we go along. I wish I could package what I am experiencing. Afraid I'll wake up tomorrow and won't be able to recapture it. This is fun. Thanks again.

@Russllandia 5 лет назад

I feel the same way. I love this and I'm going to sit down and paint as well. Great inspiration!

Muchas gracias I like very much usted es una grandisina artista

@catherinedonleycott9328 4 года назад

It was very interesting watching you credit your watercolor landscape, because you worked on dry paper bringing the wet washes in a bit at a time, without creating back washes. I usually work wet in wet for the first layer, so that could be an interesting technique to try. I was also surprised to see you leave hard edges in the sky. Altogether, after almost 50 years of painting, you definitely showed me some different techniques. I would really like to know more about how you have painted internationally. Thank you.

@sherrylee6719 5 лет назад

Hi Angela, I love this painting so much. I love the purple that you used throughout and I especially love the squiggle arch in the sky (right) is just beautiful. Is that a happy accident or do you think you could recreate that effect again? I love your lipstick, too! :)
