A natural sponge can create some amazing effects with watercolour. In this lesson, I paint an atmospheric river scene with trees and reflections.
The sponge can paint trees and foliage in seconds !!
Give it a try....

So nice! And almost all with nothing but a sponge! And a great eye, of course. Thank you for sharing.

@ChrisStephenArt Месяц назад

@@sgv323 Thanks so much. I really do recommend the advantages of experimentation, anything that can make an interesting mark, can be used as a “brush”.

I'm always amazed about 3/4 of the way into your paintings. The first layers lay down the foundation so well, but look like not much is happening. Then suddenly the scene makes sense and has such depth! Thanks for your inspiring tutorials.

@ChrisStephenArt 24 дня назад

@@haraway987 Thanks !! That’s generally how I work, the first wash will set the light and once the darker tones go in, the painting takes shape. You just have to keep faith in the process !!

Somewhere for the birds to fly through.. I remember Franke Clarke, the joy of watercolour videos back in the 90's he would say that.. and "happy little accidents" which was always amusing in his strong Irish accent. Love this effect that's Christopher. 🙏

@ChrisStephenArt 11 дней назад

Yes, Frank Clarke, I couldn’t remember who said that. Thanks 😊

@jerseyjoe1677 Месяц назад

I use this technique you should try rotating the sponge to avoid repeating patterns. The tree on the right on the left side of that tree has 4 branches with leaves that look almost exactly the same. You just wouldn’t see that in nature. Otherwise excellent work.

That's beautiful Christopher! I gave it a shot but made a mess of it, but I definitely learned some things. Thanks for the color mixing tips. It might help if I slow down your videos. Best....

@@elizac.9355 Thanks so much. Don’t worry about making a mess, it’s all part of the process. Water control is key to most watercolour techniques, so it’s all good practice !!

Hi Christopher thanks for this. Can you use the sponge again or is irs use limited by the colours it has already absorbed?

@ChrisStephenArt 28 дней назад

You’re welcome, Sam. Yes, you just need to rinse the sponge under the tap and it’s good to go again.

I know the sponge effect is great for creating trees. What about if you don't want a white background, and instead want skies or sunset?

@ChrisStephenArt Месяц назад

@@Rockymtnbloom You can put in any colour wash for a sky, dry it and then add the trees over the top. 😊
