How to paint sunset scene in watercolor

[@cassv350]

You are the best, another day waking up to your beautiful artwork, thank you, Javid

[@shrikantpotnis7901]

No doubt the brushes are the tools which brings out the talent out of you on the paper but GOD blessed you more magical hands than these brushes. I swear you are one of the great artists. God Bless You.

[@cjdavid-erath6391]

If you have eyes, you can absorb so much from Javid’s technique. He has gifted us with his fantastic ability. I’m grateful for all his work.

[@margaretdugdale7398]

I really appreciate the way you show us how you mix your paints. Seeing the thickness is really helpful. Thank you so much - a beautiful sunset.

[@scottenosh4548]

Your cloud craft is amazing.

[@artgeometrix6346]

This scene has a beautiful gentle glow running over it. Awesome

[@tinyfacemcgee9211]

Please write a step by step book! I want to know: how wet is your paper? How wet is your paint? I can’t tell! I love your work💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@georgedemings3133]

I really enjoy seeing you perform miracles with watercolor, fantastic job.

[@elsker413]

The technique how you use your brushes like magic.

[@annafilipinska3780]

As usual... extraordinarily beautiful skies... I love it😊

[@jessecalamb4593]

I love the orange that you added to the clouds. It really brought out the colors and your talent is quite palpable. Very nice.

[@manuelareste471]

I am getting repetitive with my adjectives to classify your paintings, but about this one I just can say - superb! Greetings from Germany

[@jeangrotberg5806]

Incredible as always... thank you! Is there a reference photo? Wish we could see it.... venture off on our own interpretations while leaning on your expertise!

[@christinevalesano3262]

So many good decisions. Masterful.

[@valentinagenova439]

Absolutely Gorgeous 😍❤

[@Artsie2]

Thanks!

[@nancywillette8762]

His paints are creamy in the pallet. More like gouache consistency…? He never added water to activate the paints. This painting is beautiful but it behaves more like an acrylic painting than a watercolor.

[@TropiChic]

I noticed that…I prefer transparency for sunsets myself..

[@vy1134]

No but it depends on the amount of water you add or dip your brush into it

[@CauseWeCanArTS]

Looks like he’s using a wet pallet

[@LowKey_izildura]

Can I ask if the paper is prewetted or otherwise glued down from the backside? I admire not only your skill and talent, but also your use of opaque colors and the sense for color in general Your paintings are different&unique imo and it`s interesting to see the process Thank you))

[@RobertHopkinsArt]

I believe he is using painters tape that he "loops" and then adheres the tape between his paper and backboard. You can see the loops on the fringes of the paper in other videos.

[@LowKey_izildura]

@@RobertHopkinsArt thank you kindly ))

[@feliciahuides9913]

Thank you for sharing! With you I learned to paint in watercolor

[@suzi-ml8ep]

what brand is the blue pale and blue grey paint? I cannot find such thing.. only can mix such opaque colors using gouache... please let me know... i really want to find the colors you use... your artworks are so nice.. I can't find the light opaque colors anywhere...

[@cassv350]

Question What color is that in scene 2:30 yellow cue pale?

[@luzmarinaavilarojas1889]

Maestro mil gracias por compartir este maravilloso arte , feliz con la belleza de paisajes estoy copiando algunos.

[@ЕвгенияЕвгения-н8й]

Какой великолепный закат! Чудо!

[@suzi-ml8ep]

can i use vermillion mixed with something else instead of pyroll orange? What substitute do you recommend, I don't have... I have vermillion, cadmium red, pyrol red, naples yellow, permanent yellow deep,

[@TranquilTiger74]

Stunning 💚

[@doglifehub]

Lovely! Was the paper wet in the beginning?

[@CarolMarashian]

Awesome.

[@pragya360]

Marvelous!

[@antoninocardali4726]

Ciao meraviglioso capolavoro 😊 volevo chiederti se era possibile sapere che marca di acquarelli è carta utilizzi per i tuoi lavori

[@pamelastewart604]

What are these colors especially the off white?

[@viridian4388]

Hey, may I ask what the point of painting with watercolour like it's acrylic paint is? Do you use it because the paint doesn't dry up and become unusable? Or do you like the look of watercolour, but don't like how it acts wet-on-wet, or even dry-on-wet?

[@amazingartdiary8560]

nice landscape painting！amazing！

[@shubhnoorkaur2835]

Your work is magical

[@dallaijo2]

Love, love, love, love, love it.

[@AJ-sj7ys]

Too good.. I like the drama in the sky

[@suzi-ml8ep]

do you spray the paper wet beforehand? how do you keep it so wet?

[@danieldabal1300]

What is that cream color ?

[@elenagerber6469]

Шикарная работа, но скорее в технике гуаши или акрила. Другие работы этого художника - настоящие классические акварели.

[@ADELALWAILY]

Great Work

[@ТатьянаТрофимова-д7т]

Красивое небо. Красивая вода. Жаль, много закрыл берегом. Всетаки излишняя детализация заднего плана убивает прелесть акварели, где все призрачно и размыто.

[@koskey06]

First question= How do you keep all your paints from getting hard? Second question= Cant you make a list of the colors you use?

[@petraweise6494]

Das Bild sieht wunderschön aus, doch das Nachmalen ist schwierig. Denn immer, wenn man endlich die Farbe gut getroffen hat, malt er wieder drüber. Das macht mich ganz verrückt. Erheblich leichter und eindeutiger ist es, man orientiert sich NUR am fertigen Gemälde, damit man nicht nur buntes Gekleckse auf dem Papier hat.

[@ЕленаЧе-к4у]

Is it wet on wet or wet on dry? Or maybe both?

He uses a lot of Princeton Aqua Elite brushes. You can get them from any art supply store in the U.S., including Dick Blick and Jerry's Artarama.

[@k-star9957]

You've been working on the clouds for like ten minutes and the sky is still damp.

[@johnjones4129]

I can’t understand that either…….even wet on wet my colours dry far too quickly

[@blossomnosleep]

@@johnjones4129 try using cotton papers, they hole water longer without breaking apart

[@RealTalkWithSSG]

@@johnjones4129 100 Percent cotton papers, they don't dry fast like those cellulose papers.

[@dopapier]

I don’t think it is damp. It seems to me that he is painting on dry but there is some moisture in the paint so subsequent layers blend very slightly.

[@stephw1363]

Narration would have helped here. I am not gonna learn too much this way.

[@patriciadixon4260]

Why doesn’t the colour run when you paint on top of wet paint. Why do you use white in watercolour?

[@BigAndyG]

His paintings are gorgeous indeed. Though they are not tradional watercolours. A mix of gouache and watercolour at best.. Furthtmore you have to guess which colours he uses. He does not comment on his processes or technics either. But these videos serve as a "apprecciate me" advertisement.

Can I do this with oil painting?

[@rafaelsaint-clairbraga8731]

After 10 min and paper still humid!!!!! Hooooow!!!!

[@darvoid66]

Just a guess...he may have wet the back of the paper. It's quite unclear if he let it dry completely at any point so that he could rewet it. This man is a wizard at painting with watercolor. I wish there was more information in the info section but we can at least enjoy his work :)

[@rafaelsaint-clairbraga8731]

@@darvoid66, thanks a lot for your reply. Yes! He probably re-wet the paper during the process! The thing is that, depending on the brand of the paper and the way pigments reacts, the effect might not be as good as a single spontaneous layer. Anyways, painting in watercolor is difficult for people like me who lives in warmer and dry places (i live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Even using the best watercolor papers, like Arches, I use very cold clean water + glicerin in order to let the paper wet and with moisture so I can work with the wet on wet technique for most of the time.

[@danieljamesbinderystu2968]

@@rafaelsaint-clairbraga8731 o think i know how he keeps stuff so wet for a long period of time. alittle trick for people that are in your situation... 1. There is a product called "Winsor and Newton - Watercolor Blending Medium " and it is designed to keep your Watercolors wet for much longer for exactly what its named for... Blending lol. It makes the open time ( wet ) of your paints much longer or even your paper. You can replace the water with it at 100% strength from the bottle, to your paint mixes... or you can put it in a clean cup of water, and use that cup for mixing your paints... or you can mix it with water and soak your paper with. Now, 2 is what I actually... I have a feeling he might be doing something similar. Most paint retarders for water-based Mediums like acrylic, gouache and Watercolors, all have 1 main ingredient in the store bought brands like the Winsor and Newton watercolor Blending Medium, and Golden Acrylic retarder. It is pure propylene glycol, not glycerin like everyone thinks it is. Glycerin will leave your paints sticky if you use to much, it also becomes a dust magnet, and attracts bugs. With pure propylene glycol, it will completely evaporate out of the paint 100%, leaving just the cured pigments. Too much glycerin and your paints won't dry because glycerin won't fully evaporate from acrylic paints... and Watercolors will stay sticky. Propylene glycol will even evaporate fully in below zero freezing weather, hot and humid weather conditions, whatever. I make a bottle up with 50% propylene glycol and 50% deionized water ( or distilled water if I don't have deionized water) and just 1 drop of glycerin.... and that pretty much is what the Winsor and Newton watercolor Blending Medium is! I use it with my gouache so they don't dry out fast, I use it with my acrylic gouache so it doesn't dry fast, Watercolors, acrylics ill even use the propylene glycol straight with no water!. The stuff works amazing and it can be bought on Amazon, both the winsor and newton watercolor Blending Medium and the 100% pure propylene glycol. The winsor newton watercolor blending medium works with gouache too. Hope you can get ahold of one or the other, because it will be a life saver for you. Have a wonderful day 😊

[@danieljamesbinderystu2968]

Ohhh I forgot to mention this lol... as iam painting and waiting for ot to dry, I was like Ohhh s*&^ I forgot about that lol. I use alot of 300 lb paper and even Arches 400 lb cold press paper... paper that is that thick don't need to be taped down, plus they hold alot of water for much much longer than 140lb paper. All you need to do is soak the paper fully in water for about 5 minutes. Or brush the water on front and back, wait 10 minutes and do it again on both sides... the paper will stay wet for a long time. Cheers

Thank you......Appreciate your demo but such a shame you have not listed your watercolor colors, paper etc.....and/or explained your method. 😞 So I have to give you a thumbs down..... I really think from many of the comments, people would appreciate more info to help them on their watercolor painting journey!

No need for thumbs down. The colors he used are listed at the beginning of this video. He also has a video on the products he uses: papers, paint brands, brushes, etc. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6e4lpiBns1nr7M

[@cheryldavis9912]

@@judyh3017 ...well thanks for the info Judy...(however the info was not posted at the time I viewed the presentation 3 months ago) But I do believe ‘some’ colours are different!.... and after watching many of his postings I also believe there are other factors, like wet on wet, wet on dry, pre stretching the paper/ and/or totally soaking the paper! Was Granulation medium used! .....etc.....Without any voice over/ instructional input who can truly attempt to paint this, unless of course you know yourself from Javid!

[@Iloveflowers2024]

I don't think he deserves a thumbs down Just because he's not giving all the information you want. He doesn't owe you or us anything. He's just demonstrating a painting for FREE. Sometimes it's up to us to observe and figure the hows and the whats. Not everything needs to be handed to us on a plate.
