How To Paint A Loose Watercolour Desert, simple landscape watercolor hake painting

[@michaelklein5242]

Relaxed and beautiful with nicely balanced values. This is rather much the style I hope to develop. Thank you so very much! 👏👏🎨

[@shephherd]

Beautiful! I liked how you did the light and the tree's shadow :)

[@marybirder5663]

Lovely, warm desert scene, Lois! Your tree tree turned out great and such a wonderful idea to use my forgotten tube of Perylene Green. I've had it forever and never get around to using it. Inspiring painting, as usual Lois, many thanks for your valuable tutorials. You're a gifted artist and I appreciate watching and learning from your techniques!

[@patriciaronayne173]

Brilliant. Looks like a heat haze in the foreground. Love it 😊

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks so much!

[@sarahantin2106]

Lois, this one helps, of course, as I live in Sedona, Arizona. Plus I am helped by viewing the reference photo.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😀. The paler area looks like a sunbeam! I love the happy accident!

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thank you so much for that!

[@ashleystanley4624]

This is so warm and serene at the same time. When you added that palest, highest mountain in the background, it made my heart say "yes". It gave the painting just the weight that the whole composition needed.

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks so much, I was pleased with that part too, one of the reasons I love the hake brush, it does all that work with a single stroke!

Beautiful Acacia tree... typical African scene, beautifully painted. 🙏🎨🙏

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks so much Franco, I'm a bit in love with painting deserts now, more to come I'm sure ;-)

[@connieostroha8423]

Beautiful Lois! Looks like a lone acacia tree out on the Serengeti! 💕

[@melaniemikula4873]

I love your paintings and even though I'm a total beginner I'm trying to paint along with you! Thanks for your videos!

[@dereklonghurst]

Thanks Lois - this one’s a bit closer to home. It’s hard to feel totally committed to realising your snow scenes when it’s 40°C outside!

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Good point Derek. I hope to do a few more desert scenes in the near future!

[@stevejennings2394]

Simple and beautiful

Thank you for this content

[@marlo530]

Really loved this tutorial. Mine turned out a little differently than you because I used a mixed media sketchbook however I am really glad how it turned out. Really appreciate your tutorials! Thank you :-)

[@kellyhalligan1328]

Lovely

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thank you!

[@thewanderess]

It looks beautiful and inspiring!

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thank you!

[@loisbrennan3967]

Wow, lovely warm picture! The composition looks similar to a sketch I did of a photo I took in the Sinai, will have to dig that photo out again and give it a go!

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks so much, sounds like a good idea!

[@aesthetic4173]

wow 😻

[@danielleleclaire717]

Thank you so much so cute

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thank you!

[@MustafaSajjadHaider_Dramatist]

Great desert scene. Why to crop. Just wet around the white area and lift a cloud sneaking in and that's it.

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks very much, a very good suggestion! 😊

[@MustafaSajjadHaider_Dramatist]

Thanks for accepting it.

[@malakghaffari3028]

Hello and thank you. Your training is unique to me. Thanks a lot. Can you explain what your favorite green color is? I can not find it. With respect

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Many thanks, my favourite green is Winsor and Newton Perylene Green, but you can mix nice greens with ultramarine blue and cadmium yellow

[@christinefaulkner531]

I have lived in this type of desert, a lovely painting. Could l ask the reason for you painting the distant hill last?

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thank you! There's no reason, I paint fairly spontaneously, it evolves as I paint and that seemed to be the best way to layer up at the time!

[@christinefaulkner531]

@@LoisDavidsonArt Thank you.

[@MrDs131]

Lovely. How often do you clean your palette? Still not sure about using a tray.

[@maggimarmion3836]

Lovely ! What calligraphy brush would you recommend? 😊😊

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Any generic small Chinese brush, mine is about 3/4”, part of a very cheap set, unbranded that I bought online

[@maggimarmion3836]

@@LoisDavidsonArt thanks Lois 😊😊

[@Hagar_le_Horrible]

Like the way the foreground appears to be out of focus. Good job.

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks! The smudged paint spatter helped to get that effect 😊💐
