Line and wash watercolor can be such a great staple in your tool box. It's fun to explore how that line can be expressed and made more organic which is exactly what we'll do in this video.

Hi Steve. I'm an old retired commercial artist who worked primarily in black and white, thus the world of color is like a foreign country with a new language. I can't tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate your generousity with all your knowledge. I am also so pleased with your bible verses. God Bless. Jane

@ju2425 3 месяца назад

Thanks for showing us how you do these spontaneous watercolor works! Love them!!

@bleuvertetforetdepin7308 8 месяцев назад

that little peak through in your sketchbook is a real treat .

@davidlavelle70 8 месяцев назад

I love how you revealed those joyful studies in your sketchbook, a quick peek into hidden treasures. Wonderful.

@providencevalleyfarm5270 Месяц назад

Okay, your ideas never cease to amaze. This is fascinating--Probably super cool method #95. I just got some acrylic ink to do printing on fabric, but this looks so cool! I don't think it will all go on the grandbabies T-shits. In my newest sketchbook I've been playing with gel pens & other basic office pens to draw with and then paint with water over them. It's amazing seeing the chromatic colors come out of the ink. Just like when we were dying fiber to weave. Some fibers absorbed the dye at different speeds, and some dyes bonded differently with the material, giving incredible and unexpected color blends. it's those basic molecules of color that our eyes don't see, but are actually designed into each pigment. I love seeing how it is released differently depending on how the pigment maker or artists and ink/paint makers put it together in a piece of art. Thanks for another use for materials I already have, and another non-threatening but artistic challenge that helps us grow and understand this medium.

Steve, I have followed your MOW channel for a while. I love how you teach and talk about what you are doing, what not to do, when to allow things to dry, techniques you are using, etc. You don’t assume the listener has a ton of prior knowledge to draw from. I particularly love the spontaneous/organic landscapes. I also enjoy your sense of humor, the speech bubbles that pop up during a video, and Mr. Skull 😁

@mendyhand3895 8 месяцев назад

And this is why we don’t need a thousand little half pans of water color lying around. Simplicity with ink and a stick! Thx Steve! 👍🙏🏻🎨🖌

Thank you so much for this extremely inspiring video. I am very grateful

@elainesampson7549 23 дня назад

Hello Steve, I have just found you on youtube, Your work is amazing, as I usually work in pen and ink abstracts, or acrylic paint, I have now because of you, trying out watercolour, I always thought of watercolour as a planned exercise and finding this abstract watercolour, has made my day, thank you so much for your tuition and amazing work. Elaine.

Hey Steve, during Watercolor Live Joe Miller’s granddaughter did a really nice presentation about some of Joes favorite things. She shared about how he would put Velcro on the back of a palette knife for foliage. They even sold them in the store for a time. I just tried it and it’s brilliant! Amazing textures. The fuzzy side. I thought of you and your wonderful demo. Thanks again!

@BStarfireMcquinn 6 месяцев назад

Wow! I'm impressed by your sketchbook alone! Wow! I love how you create such beauty with so much less "work" to it. There's something "simplistic" (in a great way) to this technique.

@michellebryant5577 7 месяцев назад

Steve thank you for sharing your videos! I must take the opportunity to tell you, the are the best watercolor artist I've ever seen! Your work is the best of the best. No matter what you paint it looks like I've walked outside and seen the trees in your paintings!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! ❤

Thank you so much 😀

@janicerobinson5286 8 месяцев назад

Hi Steve, I’m your neighbor down the hill from you in G’ville.😊 This video opened some doors for me, too. I’d forgotten about my non-soluble media. 🤓 And I’ve loved neutral colors for a long time. Really appreciate you showing the paper(?) tool to make marks…I’ve not done that. Thank you!! 👏👏

@mindofwatercolor 8 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it

@calayajwilliams6567 8 месяцев назад

as yr come & go, Steve never fails to keep all things watercolor fresh & fun, not just spontaneous, which I am still practicing. It is NOT funny how old fingers keep changing.

@deborahcorreale352 8 месяцев назад

Liked that small peek into your sketch book all the small thumbnails!! This was really interesting to see you experiment with different supplies and you explaining as you painted.

@WandaMartingaga 5 месяцев назад

I liked everything.. my sketchbook bleeds through page:( I’m a newby at 83 and blind in one eye 😱😂

@Nathalieroy2624 8 месяцев назад

@dianeknott3655 8 месяцев назад

Thanks, Steve, for the stick idea! These two paintings are sheer magic. Loved watching the entire process, as always!

@MDCampbell 8 месяцев назад

I'm curious if you've seen, yourself, how dramatic your style has shifted over time? You seem to be on an expressive journey and using your brush as a machete to forge yourself a path that is truly unique to you. It's wild to have seen this "you" emerge over the past few years and really explore the medium with your passion to test and play, always in a forward direction. Congratulations on your journey, Steve. It's inspiring as both an artist and a friend. Thanks for both of those! Cheers and a great video! Love this one! ~ Mark

@mindofwatercolor 8 месяцев назад

I have actually. Thanks for noticing. I think the best characterization for me is that I like adding new tools to my toolbox and sometimes that results in expressive almost abstract exploratory work. My love for realism has not diminished but I've just been on a path to explore how to integrate the two. Thanks for the look and comments Mark!

@melodycrites3145 4 месяца назад

Beautiful! Enjoyed watching this. But I am not at this level!

@catherinelevison3310 8 месяцев назад

I see what you did there with that verse. You’re the king of spontaneity and yet your style keeps coming through.

@biancathomas7934 7 месяцев назад

These are amazing. You reminded me of the sort of play I used to do as a teenager using paper to pull out the marks and seeing what image I could make from line. It's very inspiring to me to have a go at things I've stopped doing. Beautiful pictures, Steve 😊

@kathysampson826 7 месяцев назад

Hi, Steve your video is great! Just must try your idea asap. Thank you so much!

@mchris1020 8 месяцев назад

@rachelkimball312 7 месяцев назад

I love them both but the one on the right is especially pleasing to me. Love your channel.

@santanainspirartes 7 месяцев назад

@valeriemckay7064 4 месяца назад

The picture on the right looks like a stand of tamaracks as they are turning golden, my favorites.

@carolhestand2561 7 месяцев назад

Thanks, different tools, lines, like the one on left best, the stopped brush stroke unique. Liked the music reminds of the tv show kung fu

@HeroicLeigh 7 месяцев назад

I wonder if you could do a deeper dive into how to do the initial splash of colors without them muddying? That seems to be my biggest struggle: keeping the colors their own while still getting interesting shapes.

@bluebiegrace1828 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing your talent, Steve. I enjoy your process. Hopefully, I can gingerly apply them onto my work too. Happy painting!!

@gaylecewpie5012 7 месяцев назад

Hello Steve, Just gorgeous on the right you did such an awesome job with that paint that so easily wets up and smears. I'm amazed! The other one is also beautiful thank you for share your expertise with all of us.

@delicatesseract 8 месяцев назад

Still watching but I had to pause to tell you that I love how the first two are meant to roughly suggest forest scenes but they also make me think of far-off castles looming in the distance. Fantasy landscapes are my favorite, thank you. 🥳☺

@richardsemione7012 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for your channel. You are sparking a lot of creative ideas and inspiring future artwork. Thanks for showing your techniques and the hands-on methods for progression in skills. The Scriptures you show at the end, show your appreciation of the eternal values of truth and creativeness which is also seen in your art expressions stemming from of the beauty of the Creator's hand. Your use of the skull, Reese, shows the existential contrast of life and death without the spark of life that proceeds from God without saying a word about it. It's a great use of irony.

@felicagriswold7276 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. I’m new to watercolor and need all the education I can get! Your sketchbook holds a lot of treasures, like looking in the window of a candy store.

@carolatchley3797 8 месяцев назад

Your comment about leaving things vague to act as a suggestion was timely for me. Shortly before that (at 12:13) my mind had filled in the second line painting and I was already seeing a sand dune with sea grasses and vines. I know ocean scenes are not your focus, but for a moment there... Anyway, loved this. Thanks again.

@mindofwatercolor 8 месяцев назад

You bet! Thanks Carol.

@nancymckay7691 8 месяцев назад

Perfect timing as I have started exploring line and wash in my own art. I would like to see one of your line and wash pieces in a larger format to see how this type of work holds up at a larger scale - 1/4 or 1/2 sheet perhaps.

@kmeyersvt 8 месяцев назад

I adore those artgraf cubes, such yummy texture and fun effects when you wet it.

@StephanieBergamo-g5q 8 месяцев назад

So glad, always, to watch and study Steve's RU-vids. Steve, your talent, humor, voiceovers as you work, each and all are inordinately enlightening and encouraging. When you work in time lapse with music though, I find that I'd much prefer hearing the sound of brush, of ink, of pencil, of whatever tool you are using, along with the sound of the movement of brush or pencil or other tool as each is moved from palette or drawing table to work in progress and back, and even of the removal of tape from around a journal or larger piece. Such would illuminate much and deepen insight into the process. For thence, when I am alone working on a piece....I feel connected more with the artistic process - technically and spontaneity-wise. Thank you, Steve.

@followyourbrush 8 месяцев назад

BYW - What a brilliant idea to cover the other areas from splatter etc. Oh how I "miss" the most obvious solutions! LOL. Great video, third time watching.

@lola71125 8 месяцев назад

Love to watch you paint 👍👏

@bxmarz8748 8 месяцев назад

Much coolness😂 I love my artgraf but I use them like a pan not as a sketching tool, I didn’t like the texture pickup on the paper because if you try doing a wash after that it never blends out. I think the artgrafs have an oil binder as if you layer it enough it becomes hard to put anything else over the top as it has an oily finish in thick layers. The brights are beautiful and rich, especially the red.

@BornAgainFarmGirl 8 месяцев назад

Wonderful inspiration Steve !

@7409gigi 7 месяцев назад

Forgive me for the random question 🤪 What is the title of the music you were playing? You have the best background music and through you I have discovered some new to listen to while painting! TIA

@tinakoyama8258 8 месяцев назад

These are fascinating explorations! I have those ArtGraf "tailor shape" blocks, but I've only used them like pan watercolors. I will get them out to try some line drawing with them!

@eldridschafer7155 8 месяцев назад

Love these I’m moving but as soon as I can I’m going to work on new inks thanks

@HB-ir5ov 5 месяцев назад

PI know this bit weird but sees a hippo on the right side of the painting on the left. I think it's super cute especially because it's unintended or perhaps I am just a little weird.😵‍💫

@bethjames1088 6 месяцев назад

Hello Steve, I enjoy all of your art lessons. Would you take a quick look at a piece I'm working on?

@annnoyez 8 месяцев назад

That is fantastic... thank you for your explanation... gonna try to make some watercolorpaintings starting with these lines... love it... it sounds like fun... QUESTION: it has nothing to do with your painting 😊... the last piece of music, a kind of traditional Japanese/Chinese music. It moved me for some reason. I looked up the link you gave, but couldn't find that last piece you use. Is it possible to give a title, composer, or something that I can find it? Thank you I very much... ❤❤❤
