Simple Semi Abstract Watercolour Landscape

New Watercolour Landscapes for Beginners Course Available Now! 75% off

This is a really simple watercolour that captures that feeling of emptiness! It reminds me of a trip many years ago (almost 20) up to north Canada and drilling holes in the frozen lake to go fishing with some great guys from Montreal! The music in the time lapse part of this video is made by friend Aaron Stone. Links to his channel on Isight Timer and twitter is below. He is an amazing man with sound!

The colours used were: (all Winsor and Newton Artist Quality Paints)
Yellow Ochre
Mix of Winsor Blue (red shade) and Light Red

It was painted onto a half sheet of Rives BFK etching paper 280gsm, white, 38cm x 56cm.

The brushes used were one and two inch hake brushes and a small series 7 round sable for the trees and bird.

Happy painting everyone!

Cheers

Scott

If you just want two hogs bristle brushes then the best thing to do is to head to your local art supplies store and buy them there.

Watercolour Paper

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)

I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.

Beautiful 😊🍀 I was thinking Canada too. Love it! I actually want to be in Canada right now. Yes, wonderful how it just comes together like a melody

[susanmeuser]

Thanks for helping me get back to watercolors. So helpful to watch how others paint! I have painted this (your painting) many times now and its all starting to come back...slowly. Haven't painted in 10+ years and I have missed it! Thanks again.

I tried to recreate this on three times. I re-watched it five times. and now I think, that you have rather thick paint in the cups and it goes uneven onto the brush. that is how the loose stripes come in and why this all in all look more interesting, than what I did. and now... another try :-)

This is stunning with so few brushstrokes! It feels like wide open spaces devoid of humans. I could just disappear into that landscape!

Hi Scott! Wonderful example of knowing just when to stop! Beautiful!
I do have a question for you about your signature - it didn't look like you were writing an "ss"(?) Does your signature represent something different?
