I love how you experiment with watercolor. This painting is gorgeous! 😊

[@bonnymccormick7095]

I love how this turned out, but usually I overwork it, like your trees and then all of a sudden I have mud. Good Job. Came out perfect.

[@louisscenti3813]

The darker values in the second layer really made this come together. I would never have had the courage to do that! Thank you Scott, beautiful and evocative as always.

[@ScottSwinson]

Thanks Louis! Yes I think it was a good move but when I was editing it I also liked it right at the beginning at about the 5 minute mark!

[@aliciashackley5830]

Loved watching the paint “crawling” into thin branches. Very dynamic video. Thx Scott. 🥰

[@suel4269]

I agree, Alicia! 😬

Hi Alicia! I know it does kind of crawl into the wet areas in almost an slice kind of way! Pretty amazing! 👍👍

Aah loved this Scott. I love how the painting kind of paints itself, and watching the paint move across the paper, with a bit of help from yourself of course 😉🥰 thanks as always 👍

Hi Alison! I agree! It is amazing some of the textures that are achieved on the page! I could never have painted them! 👍👍👍

Oh dear..I liked it at the halfway point! This is the first time you haven’t changed my mind! Lol! Love to watch you create, Scott!

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Patsy! Yes it was very interesting at that point! lol

[@julieschwindt8753]

I watched this video to the end, but will be watching it again. I think Scott you are an innovator, explorer, and experimenter. Please, please don't say you're cheating sir! What you do is so encouraging for folks like myself and if you've borrowed a technique from an another or your using tools that aren't typical in the world of painting you're expanding my knowledge and learning. I'm sure many others would agree. Have a great day! 🙂

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Julie! Thanks! I really do love exploring what is possible with this medium with the aim of expression! Glad you liked it! 🙏

[@mousefudge7623]

Using old towels would save you a hole lot of cleaning up. Your art is inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

You're always making fun games, you have great ideas, but you're not sure what you're going to get, so the process becomes fun, you're good at sharing, I'm having fun watching it, I I like random works, however, I always draw very restrained. You will inspire me, relax, relax is the best state of drawing!

[@davidjacques4352]

Wow, Scott, you really pulled off a great painting...I thought after your first layer that it was going to be an adequate piece. But that second layer really gave it depth and contrast. Well done.

[@ScottSwinson]

Love this. I'm to scared to even try it. But, it's beautiful

[@markdonovan1540]

It's been a while since I watched one of your amazing videos. Oh well, you know how it goes down the watercolor rabbit-hole in KZbin land😅 I've been getting back into some abstract landscapes lately, so your channel was the best place to go for inspiration. That "bubble" bit probably would have had me chucking more paint and water at it, but then the beautiful light on the left would have been almost obliterated. It's a delicate time in the painting process to make rash decisions! Sometimes we just have to let it go and look at it a few days later. I love the intensity if colour you achieve wheb using paints straight from the tube. That spray bottle witb adjustable nozzle is perhaps what I need. I have an atomiser, but it's hard to control and the different spray bottles I have don't seem to adjust the spray in gradual steps, so they are unpredictable. I see you test it first on your hand, away from the painting, which is a great tip - it's common sense really (which sometimes escapes me when I'm in the zone of painting like a mad professor in his laboratory...).

[@evangelinepoe8952]

Such fun watching you explore this technique. There were moments earlier in the process where ‘your choices, water, paint, and paper’ coalesced into these beautiful forms. I didn’t want you to paint over them, but I guess you couldn’t hear me. 😫 😂 If you had listened, that would have been the end of your exploration. And I love how the painting turned out. When you showed the final painting, I wondered when the little baby dragon made of mist on the left side had formed. It completed the painting and gave it a narrative. 🐉 Wonderful! You’ve inspired me to play with this technique. Thank you Scott!

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Evangeline! Thanks for watching and commenting! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video! 👍👍👍

[@gretelstonebridge2323]

I definitely think it was improved Scott. I have never managed to get effects I imagine. You do! I try too hard. Love abstract but it is hard to achieve for me a beginner!

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Gretel! Yes you are right it isn't easy for beginners! Good to start at the start and do things on a smaller scale before diving into large abstract style landscapes!

[@markhatfield8809]

I like this work, it`s bold of you to venture into this style . . .One can slip from a wonderful non-objective look to a more illustrative, 'graphic novel' -type result, walking a thin line, between both concepts. . . Very good sensibilities at play, here . . .

[@ScottSwinson]

[@donnacary3430]

I’m also working on abstract watercolor landscapes and find your work inspiring! I loved it before you added the second layer and in a different way after the second layer. Gorgeous! What did you end up doing about the watermark?

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Donna! Thanks! Yes it is great to work and explore in this area! I have not done anything about the watermark yet as it was only painted on Tuesday! I’m waiting for it to dry fully as the big blobs of watercolour take a long time! Then I might spray it out! 👍👍
