How to Draw and paint a Lighthouse Line and Wash Watercolor. Beginner lesson. Peter Sheeler

[@MMGARC]

Your painting was very inspiring. You make it seem all so possible for me to give this a try. As I'm a lefty and just a beginner, it's captivating to sit and enjoy the beautiful music as you create this beauty before me. Thank you for showing the color choices you are using - it's so helpful. You're quite thoughtful, Mr. Steeler and I'm grateful for that.

[@deborahlucas2282]

I love the way you added the merest touch of quinachridone fuchsia to the lighthouse. I was so surprised and actually said “ ooh” out loud! I thought why on earth did he do that? But then suddenly, the magic happened and it added a gorgeous hint of warm light and roundness. I’m going to have a go at this. Thank you so much.

[@julieandrews730]

A favorite of your paintings. The pops of red make me happy!

[@loyalistrose5727]

Never tire of watching you create Peter.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. That's nice to hear :)

[@deadinteresting8905]

Love how you painted the reflected light from the sky onto the lighthouse 💕

[@cheryl7476]

It was so enjoyable to watch this scene come to life. Thank you, Peter.

[@hindabd5424]

So cozy so beautiful ❤

[@mainman2192]

Perhaps the best pen and wash artist I have seen on KZbin. I love your use of a limited palette for these studies.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Very kind words. Greatly appreciated. Peter :)

[@mary-chrishines9391]

This is just one of many videos of yours that I've watched. I'll keep watching until I've watched them all. I only just started sketching and want to do ink and watercolor like you do. I know it will take a lot of practice, but you inspire me! Thanks!!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. Great to hear I've inspired you :)

[@csimpson7169]

I've just got kitted up for this hobby today,I can't wait to get started. Like this style very much and lighthouses too. C

[@MissBooksmith]

I just love this video. It was lovely to see you work and see how you mixed your colours. Very relaxing. I notice one lady enjoyed watching it with her morning coffee. I enjoyed watching it with my evening glass of wine.😇

[@PeterSheelerart]

LOL. Thank you very much :)

[@music4me831]

Thank you for your thoughtful and full explanation of your craft and preferences. It matters. I will continue to enjoy and pass on your videos.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much Lori. Always appreciated :)

[@lindamullahy5752]

Once more a brilliant. Painting you are so gifted and a very good person to teach us in pen and wash . I would thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing me how easy pen and wash is also a big hug from Linda.

[@shivshanker6567]

Hi Peter, I took up water colouring at the ripe old age of fifty two. Your lesson are in`valuable and line and wash has become my favourite technique. So from a student: Thank You. Shiv Shanker

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much Shiv. Makes it all worthwhile for me :) Peter

[@essietangle9931]

Beautiful use of color ...I so appreciate your tutorials. I have been painting watercolor for over a year now. Thanks 🎨🖌️🌊

[@sandraluciamunoz7252]

Simple and beautiful. Thanks for continue teaching us! Grettings from Argentina.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Hello Sandra in Argentina. Thank you very much :)

[@gurujad1533]

Hello Mr. Sheeler, There is magic in the wriggly line you produce. It comes out as a perfect indication of reality. I like the simplicity of the content. It is definitely vision-friendly. The colors today are special. Using the Quinacridone Fuschia twisted time in the sky. The blending of colors is nicely done. I liked the result of adding Sepia to the Ultramarine Blue. Last but not least, painting the dome and the door of the lighthouse with bright Red illuminated the whole piece, and took it to another level. You always dazzle me with your little touches that change everything! Best Regards,

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thoughtful comments. Thank you :)

[@R_H21]

Hi Peter. I miss your videos, so I’m just binge re-watching your old videos. =) ❤this lighthouse.

[@patnapolio]

Because you forgot to hit the record button this lighthouse now sits on Peggy's Cove! and it looks pretty good sitting there. I believe it was one of your tutorials that show how to take parts from different scenes and combine them. Thanks Peter.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks Patrick. Nice to hear from you :)

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

I love the yellow n red in the sky n reflecting off the lighthouse. is the quin fuschia close to cotmans purple lake? just wondering if i can find a similar color in cotman or w&n. thanks. tfs

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. There is no match, but I just checked DaVinci and they no longer carry the fuchsia, so I guess I'll be changing soon too :)

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

Peter Sheeler :(

[@terrilynnstalvey1416]

👋 Light houses are an interest a and watch each video you upload re. Amazes me how you can turn small into intensively gratifying 😀

[@MDCampbell]

I really appreciate the real-time demo, the excellent choice of music, the gear description, and of course, your generosity in sharing your wonderful talent. Always inspiring. One question for you - any reason you don't narrate? Just saying, that it would be interesting to hear your thought process as you progress throughout your work. I'm a big fan of your style and your confidence on the page. THANK YOU!! :)

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you so much. Always nice to hear :) I may add a small amount of voice at some point.

[@DivaLibertal]

beautiful. thank you!!!

[@PeterSheelerart]

You are most welcome. Thank you for watching :)

[@brookedavis3465.]

Good Morning Peter, thank you for yet again another wonderful lighthouse. I use your videos as "lessons" and they're really great to follow. I really enjoy your drawing style as well. I've learned from all your lighthouse paintings as well as your rusty door! That one was surpringly rewarding. Very much out of my depth but I am learning :) I'm wondering if you might have some advice in mixing a color similar to the sepia you use? I have almost all your other colors but not this one and it's been very tricky trying to wing it. Thank you in advance! Looking forward to the next lesson!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. I've never tried to mix it. You could try black and red :)

[@sewingkilla]

That sky.....❤️

[@PeterSheelerart]

Great comment! Thank you :)

[@graziapaint8343]

colori armoniosi,bellissimo effetto!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Grazie mille. Così felice che vi piacciano :)

[@johnharkness6304]

Love your work Peter. Splashed out recently on Arches cold pressed paper, quite rough when one is not used to it. Can I ask you if you you only use sap green from the tube, do you mainly mix your own greens? I'm thinking of buying W&D veridian green or hookers, or both. Thanks a million for the tutorials.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you John. I do use veridian as well. You'll try many before picking your favourites

[@autoauto2000]

i'm a photographer too and have a calibrated monitor. Nicely done on your old phone ! everything is good ! i love love your technique. but how how do put the colors on the palette ? and wich koi set do u use ?

[@juditharowland3461]

Hi Peter.......I'd like to ask a favor. Would you mind showing us your reference photo so that we can see what you are sketching. It would help a lot on the more structured drawings. Thanks........I too really enjoy your works, particularly the vibrant pieces like the Row Houses of St. John, and this lighthouse. Is it in Maine?

[@PeterSheelerart]

Hi Judith. I believe it says in the video that this is from my imagination. No reference used. In all my newer videos I include a reference photo if used. But, I am notorious for just making things up :)

[@paullarnce2167]

What kind of brushes do you use? TX I don't understand what you're trying to achieve with your graduated washes Where is this coming from? Incredible stuff.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Hi Paul. Please read the video write-up section. Click on "show more" below the video screen. This information plus much more is available there. Not sure what you're asking about the washes.

[@maryanharrell5642]

Peter, I enjoy all of your videos, and learn a lot from each one. I do love how you layer the colors and I really like ink and watercolor together. Thanks for sharing. Also, the 5 x 7 is my favorite size to paint. Have you ever tried Daniel Smith paint?

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks so much. No I haven,t... yet :)

[@donnafesser5222]

Hi Peter. Am totally awed by your talent. But where do you get your ideas for your lovely paintings? Are they from photographs, or from your imagination?

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you Donna. Ideas come from my imagination/memory, my own photos or by painting on location. If I use a reference photo it will be included in the video. This one was from imagination.

[@adamw2621]

The red (pr101) burnt sienna really is a great color isn't it? I use the Da Vinci Burnt Sienna Deep it is the same as the WN version. I always enjoy your videos Peter!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks so much. I have the deep. May have to try it again :)

[@ramu12359]

what is the paper? should the surface be smooth?
