Today we are back outside! Montreal weather keeps surprising me - the winter is not there yet! I used this opportunity for a plein air session not too far from my house. This former fire station is one of the oldest buildings in Lachine still standing, constructed between 1914 and 1917. Let's paint it!

Great work!! Sir.

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Thanks so much, Pramod!

[@nicoleperron3315]

When I was little this building, the old fire station was the public library and I used to stop on my way home from school. I spent many hours there. There used to be a restaurant on the corner of 45th Street with the best french fries and old juke boxes at each table where you put coins in and you could play music at your table, that burnt down on New year's Eve in the early 90's . Beautiful painting of a lovely building.

[@darnelleechols8556]

Thanks for sharing! ☺️ ❤️

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Wow, this building truly has a beautiful history! I have only lived in Lachine for a few years, so thank you very much for sharing, did not know it was a library before.

[@nicoleperron3315]

@@watercoloronlinemsolovyev I believe the library on 32nd Ave was originally built in 1974. Then the old firehouse became I believe an architects office.

[@dangatto8666]

You purposely leave white holes everywhere. I like that.

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

I am glad you liked the painting, Dan!

[@GaryBomphray]

You certainly improve Mondays and Thursdays. Thank you.

Thanks so much, Gary! Glad to make your days better!

[@wallanmc]

I just learned last year that the tower on the old fire houses was there to dry the fire hoses . Thanks for the video .

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Oh yeah? I did not know that until today! I thought they were like for looking around or something. Thanks for the info.

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Thank you so much, Mukund 😀 I appreciate your feedback!

[@darnelleechols8556]

Beautiful day! And you got your sleeves rolled. Must be fairly warm too. Weird weather we're having, huh? Thought for sure I'd be snowing by the way you looked the last time you painted outside. Love the painting! :)

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Hi Darnelle, Now it is much colder than it was during the recording, but yes, still no signs of sustained snow. Very weird indeed! Thank you so much!

[@evangelinaquinones4542]

Genial, admirable como siempre

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Muchas gracias, Evangelina!

[@riffsandpics]

Pleasure to watch as always. Yes, the short winter days, but that's alright, making art can deal with that!

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Thanks so much! The length of the day is not a big problem. The weather, on the other hand, can get really bad really fast.

[@robertoperezolave7153]

Thank you so much, Ikram! 😀

[@aerialarboreal9005]

What I love most about water colour is the sunlight-shadow contrast and how beautifully the colours run and fade... And also! Who needs a Rigger brush when you have Rat-tail brush!! lol Hello Michael, I've been a follower for a while but my other account (April the cat) was deleted (apparently I said something wrong, which may have happened lol)... Anyway, I've come back with this new page and went looking for you straight away! I've loved your work from the second I stumbled on to your channel and look forward to seeing more... Oh and just one question... When was this filmed?? I only ask because it was -4c here all day in Peterborough and your water would have been slushy!! lol

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Hi, your comment somehow got into the spam folder :( I think it was filmed mid-October. We had a big autumn in Montreal this time around...

[@createwithwatercolor]

What a lovely painting. Thank you for demo. You easel looks very compact. Where can I get it if I want to buy one..

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Hi, Manish. I hope I will be releasing them on my website, watercoloronline.com, pretty soon :)

[@Acquerellomania]

gorgeous watercolor! One question: do you wet the back sheet for these plein air jobs too?

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

No, for fast sketches made under 25 minutes there is no need in wetting the paper as it does not have enough time to dry.

[@Acquerellomania]

@@watercoloronlinemsolovyev thank you Michael!

Thank you! May i ask....what is the name of your easel??

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Dear Susan, it does not have a name yet, although I hope to soon start producing it commercially :)

@@watercoloronlinemsolovyev that’s wonderful

[@theboatadvocate]

please include more instruction on why, where, when and how and less background music. your work is awesome.

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Hi Bill, thank you! During plein airs there is a lot of noise and the time is very limited, so I cannot talk more and not have the background music. More in-depth explanations are reserved for the studio videos :)

[@theboatadvocate]

@@watercoloronlinemsolovyev thank you for your quick response. i look forward to your next video.

[@fabriziopicottini3784]

e' tuo figlio?

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Yes, he is!

[@cn-123]

I think the music is detrimental to your paintings, better no music!

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

It is outside so without music there would just be a lot of noise. But in the studio videos, sometimes there is music, sometimes there isn't. There are people who love music (me included) and ones who don't. Gotta find a middle ground :)

[@pramodsatpute3618]

Great work!! Sir.
