Thanks John, I do experiment a lot, and I try to paint at least 1 sky a day, and have done since I started painting in March 2018

Thank you!

[@MickyBrownEye1]

Stunning sky Lois. I must have missed this tutorial when it was first posted. Glad I found it as its so like the coastal skies here in Northern Ireland.

[@ElleVancouver]

Lois, I have been watching (and doing) your tutorials for a few months now (I am a covid-newbie with a now serious watercolour addiction) and I just love your style. You make it look so much easier than it is. I am loving learning from you, (Chris Petri and Karen Rice are my favourites too) and will give this one a go tomorrow...playing with making clouds which osn't my strong suit. Thank you!

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks so much, I'm so happy to be able to help, art can really help get us through such difficult times!

[@sheelkhirbat9857]

[@possiblepaintings5059]

Wow Lois, I loved this tutorial. The landscape/seascape is a subject I'm always drawn to. It makes my heart sing and I feel I can breath in a wide open space

[@twiggalina]

Really lovely Lois!

[@gogokp9276]

Beautiful work Lois.I suggest to put the paper on desc without angle when you lift out the clouds.In that situation paint dont rush into lift areas so quickley.Thanks for all your videos.

[@robertoperezolave7153]

Lovely

[@hughmorley365]

Great stuff Lois! And how satisfying it must to see so many artists on Facebook inspired by your work :)

Dziękuję za fantastyczne lekcje akwareli

[@caterinatiburzi3663]

Beautiful!! Could you show a waterfall watercolor? :)

[@jenfleming9412]

Amazingly beautiful Lois. You have so mastered those nice moody skies. You are truely a master painter. You inspire me to put more time and care into my skies. I don’t have brown madder. Could I use indigo, Payne’s grey and burnt umber ? I wish I could see seascapes where I live, but will be satisfied with hills and mountains.

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks, I'm sure any brown would do, burnt umber is a beautiful colour!

[@sfrancoeur9208]

Superbe

[@karolfrench5816]

Great stuff thanks. Do you tape the board with masking tape and if so why. Keep up enjoying creating magic and making us happy x

[@carpeductumc]

Beautiful! I've been binge watching your videos and now going to sign up for patreon. 😃 Somewhere you mention that the Cotman sienna is paler and more yellow than other watercolor brand siennas. Of the professional brands such as Daniel Smith, M Graham and Qor, which color might be the closest to what you use? Again, thank you so much for all you share!!

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Hi, I’m afraid I don’t know as I’ve never tried them

[@robinspina9968]

Lois, thank you for the amazing effort you put out on these videos. Got in the habit of watching your vids late at night on KZbin. Started watercolor painting at 69 recently, and though I'm in love with doing it, it's quite frustrating most of the time. But that's for another time. I do have a rookie question. I was trying to "duplicate" your Stormy Seascape here and having the usual issues with water. Go figure. However, my question concerns my brush. I just bought a brush called a Wash/Glaze brush. It's flat, 3/4". I used it for the first time today on your painting that I was trying to duplicate, but as I use it, the bristles, separate and it looks like a fork. Disconcerting when attempting to paint a straight line. Is that normal for this type brush? No other brush that I have does that. I apologize for the mundane question. Thank you.

[@ipekwilliamson2278]

Wonderful clouds. But so difficult to do!

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks, but they aren't too difficult with a bit of practice!

[@LavishHim]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎨

[@garythorne3722]

hi stunning painting what watercolour brand of paints do you use?

[@maureenanderson5707]

I see you putting your blue quite close to the yellow, but it doesn’t seem to go green . Mine seems too

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

If you use a strong mix of colour and don't brush over the colours, they should stay yellow and blue, they will only blend if watery or if you brush over and then they will mix to greem

[@maureenanderson5707]

Thankyou

[@muchopomposo.6394]

Because yellow ochre isn't true yellow. Add a touch of red and a smidgen of blue to cadmium yellow. Hey-Presto... Yellow ochre.

[@tinaschmidtsart]

Is it hot or cold press? Saunders or Arches by chance?

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Millford cold press

[@tinaschmidtsart]

@@LoisDavidsonArt thank you. I've never heard of that paper here in the USA. I'll try to find it. Thank you! I've subscribed! 🤗

[@garycox6169]

On dec 15 you posted an abstract beach painting,absolute perfection.i dont suppose theres a vid of it?(instagram)

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

I’m afraid not, my KZbin channel is for more straightforward loose painting tutorials for beginners and intermediate painters, the more abstract and semi abstract style is my personal style of painting

[@garycox6169]

Well all I can say is,I love your personal style

[@ninamimoza1408]

Please wath kind paper you are use thank you so much i love it

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks, it’s Millford 100% cotton cold pressed paper

[@athaliewiles3687]

See if you can manage without using the word “just”

[@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478]
