Loose Watercolour Sky Practice, Paint a Simple Hake Brush Seascape, 1 Sky A Day Landscape Tutorial

/ loisdavidsonart www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OwlsAndF... In today's demo I share one of my daily sky practices. For the past 3 years or so, I try to paint at least once a day, and always at least one sky which I think really has helped me to make some progress with my painting. I use various colours and brushes as mentioned in the demo, but please feel free to use whatever colours and brushes you like and are comfortable with if you try something similar.
My board is at an angle of about 45-60 degrees.
Many thanks to my lovely Patrons for your support!

Gosh I can see years of practice in just simple bold strokes. Beautiful!!!

[@jjohnson1655]

Gorgeous ❤

[@laurieanderson9290]

Fantastic!

[@Sglinert]

It's lovely to see someone else treasure their palette dirt!

[@rameshbandekar1557]

Very beautiful. Thank you very much for the demonstration.

[@rogerhughes5717]

I love the way you paint and explain things. I always look for your paintings and videos to try and learn from. Thank you.

[@stormy439]

I finally understand learning from my mistakes in watercolors! I don't get frustrated as much when I mess up a painting that was going rather well. Now I look at my mistakes as a learning tool rather than I messed up. Thankyou! You are a wonderful teacher with a calm soothing voice.

[@maryannperkins6000]

Your approach of practicing sky really helps to be more forgiving and over correcting my attempts at each painting Thank you for your gentle words of wisdom

[@ritsu120]

beautiful❤

[@bazyt1]

Wow - what a picture! Nailed the sky and sea. I tend to mess up at least one ... usually both.

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

Thank you!

[@helenduplessis9820]

You always amaze me when you get to adding the jewelry!!! I am binge watching you at this stage!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@Wildflowerafternoons]

Lovely. I love how you finessed the waves.

[@franlily8774]

The sky is brilliant and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@Kwood10]

Absolutely beautiful . Going to attempt this while I’m snowed in this weekend.

[@rentedtux1883]

That's beautiful Lois.

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks so much! 😊💐

[@suel4269]

This is one of your best! I’m impressed that you can talk and paint at the same time. I wouldn’t make any sense!

[@suel4269]

I’m back again and trying to pay closer attention to how you paint skies. I think I need to tilt my board more.

[@diannesing6051]

I just love it when you show how to add tiny details, like the lights and shadows of the gulls! Small things that take it to a new level. This was fabulous. Thanks so much!

[@ShahanoorMamun]

Yeeeep!! Another wonderful painting!! Lovely seascape !!!

[@brunovillers24]

What a beautiful energy and always a lot of generosity, it is a landscape which seems easy to achieve but it requires a good technique, but with Lois there is also the talent, thank you for this sharing and this very profitable new lesson. Bruno in France

So‼️👏💐📸. Fantastic and soooooo creative ‼️👏💐🎥📸

[@jadedenthusiasms]

I absolutely love everything you so...I can't get enough!! I believe I heard you say, on another video, that you've only been painting for 3 yrs? Might be 4 now as I think it was older then this one...but regardless, that's amazing! I started teaching myself to draw and paint in my early-mid 40's to help deal with chronicsevere pain...now I'm in my late, the latest 40😆😊 but no where near anything you do!! My health issues keep me from practicing very often, but still... but, it is something I love when I can. But when I can't, which is most of the time now, I appreciate SO much being able to watch you to stay excited and inspired, and to just enjoy your calm, easy to listen to voice with your positive outlook! Helps me so much!!! Those hake brushes are on my wishlist for sure!! Those and good paper. ;) one day :) Thanks again for all the work you put in! It's truly appreciated!!

[@Jazzgriot]

Ace ! The sky is breath taking.

[@cherrysimmonds5836]

Thanks, Lois! I have been working on making my paintings look less nothing-y, too. Contrast of the colours really does make a difference! Very nice painting. :)

This is so beautiful! I would be thrilled to create something that !

[@maureencberry]

Lovely! Thanks for all the tips. I subscribed and look forward to learning more from you. My goal is to create dramatic seascapes!

[@areesha22]

Absolutely gorgeous sky!!! I can’t stop staring at it. The feathering of the clouds is my favorite thing. Need to figure out how to get an angled workspace! Love your videos :)

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thank you so much!

[@annamariataudel2668]

What a beautiful painting! And the great tip for leveling the horizon, mine is always a bit wavy or crooked. Thank you!

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks! 😊💕

[@Pewit45]

Wow. Impressive xx

[@gloprn52]

Lovely tutorial can’t wait to give it a go 🎨😊 FYI I have be using Dr Ph Martin bleed proof white love it for my waves 🌊

[@BabsBBee]

Very inspiring! Really pretty. I also have trouble with W&N white guash. It never dries white enough.

[@gertieh.5534]

I love jou work ! Gertie te Nederlands.....

[@joellewynands6880]

J’adore vous suivre 🥰

[@robertahenault7983]

This painting is so loose and free ..... and beautiful ! I want to paint like this but I tend to overwork my paintings and it takes all the joy out of it. Nonetheless, I keep trying.

[@marlenamolenda7741]

Piękne, bardzo lubię Twoje malowanie, mogę patrzeć godzinami, super 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️

[@thomasboreman3151]

You are so calm and reassuring in your speaking and your painting. Wonderful! You mentioned sealing the pastel. What did you use? Thank you for your tutorials!

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks, I fix the pastel with a quick spray of hairspray which works the same way as fixative, but much cheaper

[@user-uw3nj6vz4p]

Lovely…I feel as though I am there…

[@dougrutherford3848]

I usually find Prussian blue so overwhelming that I avoid using it. I'll have to try adding the rest of my palette to it.

[@alisonlyons4691]

Hello Lois. I'm really enjoying working with your techniques, thank you for such clear instructions. I love the deckle edges and I'm wondering how you mount the paintings when framing ? Any advice would be appreciated. 😊 Alioban xx

[@cecileegeorgeson_artist]

Your teaching technique is just remarkable……

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks so much Cecilee!

[@alperdurmus5234]

Dear Lois, What do you think about (using) white watercolor, e.g. Chinese white? Pardon me if it's asked already.

[@stjosephscumbernauld9594]

I think why not ! If it enhances a painting then go for it If I have an image in my head and the equipment to help me produce it I'd ignore purists who say no to using white in watercolours
