Splashy Loose Watercolor Line and Wash Tree - Inktober 2019

[@kaileilani22]

You really did that apple tree some justice.!

[@RenateWaas]

Just love your loose tree-trunk!

[@Juhani139]

That's when you know you're an artist ; you see what normal people can't see. I've had this experience so many times. You look at something mundane and it jumps out at you. And in themoment i have often tried to showmy hubby,but he doesn't see it. And even a camera can't quite get it. But then when you paint it, what you felt comes to life,and others can see what you Felt when you looked at that apple tree. It's a super power. You're a superhero! :p

[@marcosandreorlando2011]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Excellent approach to watercolor.

[@joycerodgers1630]

What a phenomenal gift God has given you............

[@karenturner-cf7vq]

I like your choice of colours, and blending them. It's a nice picture.

[@sharonwebb945]

I’m new to ink & watercolour. Some do ink after the painting and some do it before…. It’s just lovely though either way; I can’t decide which way I like better.

[@JamesPliny]

At the risk of being redundant, I really, really like that painting. It is the sort of thing I try to achieve when I take my sketch pad out on a hike. It is the sort of thing I absolutely love to look at years later and remember a place and time where I created a memory with a sketch. So...once again, thank you for taking the time and effort to share that.

[@azalea1404]

It was also very beautiful just in black and white!

[@dharmaofdog7676]

Revisiting this Video a few years later, I had purchased a few "UNI PEN's" 0.5 after watching this Video the first time. They come in Grey, Black & Brown. I LOVE them and they have pushed my Creativity Bar up quite a few notches. Its fun to try new Tools now & then and based on Steve's recommendations or demonstrations, I've purchased many and have yet to regret any of them! Thanks !

[@alanvandever9683]

That turned out really, really nice!

[@arrowb3408]

This is illustration painting. Very good as illustration style.

[@wendytaylor3714]

... my send button is soo sensitive. Wanted to add thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.

[@sallyskellington2004]

I loved it. I love October, its full of the perfect lighting for pictures, paintings, and it inspires sculpture as well. Its November now and that can be a little more muted but sunsets help.

[@barryteghtmeyer5466]

You always inspire me to try new things. Throwing some splatters on a finished drawing and then making it work.. Brilliant!

[@indigodande4345]

@themindofwatercolor new art hack I discovered you can use a kneaded eraser to put around the barrel of a fine detailing brush if you feel like the grip is too slim.

[@cassiescreations9828]

Your apple tree painting is gorgeous. I love when the Autumn light falls upon the ordinary and creates a new view or when it happens here during foggy "winter" mornings, especially as the sun rises; the light filters through and creates all sorts of "new" but capturing that with watercolor is just so difficult for me to do. I'll just have to keep trying.

[@Eirenmist]

Splendor in the ordinary.....and you captured it so very well!

[@arlenemurphy804]

Beautiful Steve.

[@bobyounger6109]

Up until yesterday, I always had difficulty with buildings (perspective) mainly

[@wendytaylor3714]

I'm really getting into pen and watercolour inspired by your lovely work. You are my go to demo to help me improve and love the combination of loose and tight which I prefer. Going to start one from my photo of nearby woodlands this wet and windy day near York, England.

[@anab570]

Hello. When you splashed the drawing with watercolors, it was so scary. But in the end turn out really well. You are genius!! I learned a lot today, thank you.

[@lindaoneill746]

What an exciting way to splash the color on a painting! Thank you!

[@pjlewisful]

Like the lose yet controlled fearless approach here. I also liked the reminder to notice & appreciate things around you that may have been overlooked before.

[@randicommand2453]

Super job! Love love that painting... I especially love your interpretation of that tree.

[@BlushnBlue]

This is so perfect to me. I love your work and how you make watercolor come to life. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@WC100]

BlushnBlue ok 나도 이채널에서 많은걸 배우게 됩니다 나는 한국 화가입니다 나의 채널도 방문해주세요 유익한 정보 공유합시다 I also learn a lot from this channel I am a Korean painter Please also visit my channel.

[@PENFOLD1962]

Amazing, congratulations.

[@sooart5333]

Very nice drowning. Thanks for sharing.

[@loriwalker-brandon9163]

What a fun and inspiring technique! I love ink and wash so this was a lot of fun to learn from - thank you for sharing!

[@CatsInaCradle]

I absolutely love your tree! Very nice Steve!

[@PaintingStepByStep]

Wow! This is amazing painting. No words to describe how beautiful it is. Thanks a lot for sharing your talent with us.

[@DrWhom]

When you first do your values in pen and ink and then you do a graded wash of just a single colour it is kind of magical, because it looks as if this entire range of hues is appearing.

[@donatfairs204]

Very nice. Enjoy how you try various techniques in both pen and watercolor. I wonder why in comments people put a thumbs down. It's 👍👍👍

[@rebeccawong1]

Love the tones, so pretty🤩

[@julieduncan4075]

This is great! I got uptight when you first started slopping the paint on, but it turned out beautifully. Whew! 🙃

[@karenjohnson6487]

Awesome Steve. The painting is beautiful. I love the splash technique. Will have to try that. Thanks

[@rafaelleiton1018]

What planet did you come from?Beauty exudes from your work and fabulous techniques thank you

[@barbaramain6381]

Very inspirational, many thanks!

[@teresat5496]

Master watercolor work

[@marykayparker4144]

Great job Steve! Love the color choices too

[@monopinion8799]

Great job. Excellent tutorial. Thank you so much.

[@comicdotsdesign]

This years Inktober is going so quickly! I can't believe its almost halfway through. I think that is because I'm pacing myself this year. Last year, first time, I didn't know my limits. Its like being a runner, its partly psychological.

[@WC100]

You are impressed by this channel I am also impressed by this channel I also invite you to my amazing watercolor channel. welcome

[@carollutton3340]

This is beautiful. It’s what I wish I could do. I’m trying.

[@mchlup]

I need to try this technique! This is a really interesting way of colouring an ink/watercolour piece. Thanks for the demo.

[@Apt22Art]

I've watched this twice. I cannot wait to try this! I just got a nice new set of watercolors and this will be the perfect way to break them in.

[@TeeNorbu]

Thank you so much for showing the pens. Beautiful art

[@Linda-qq5mg]

Your drawing of that apple tree is sooo good, and the painting is superb! Thank you for another masterpiece.

[@lvmylord54]

I loved your tree even before you put watercolor on it. So inspired, I went out and drew some little trees in my neighbors backyard. I used pencil though and can't use WC because I did it on a dry media sketchbook paper.

[@dharmaofdog7676]

Freaking GORGEOUS.

[@manuelahallmann5287]

Great picture!!

[@christineingram55]

Beautiful work and a lovely video 😀

[@randicommand2453]

I love my Zebras.. that's what I'm using for Inktober! I'm intrigued by those sets! Thanks for the link.

[@kimpriessloft371]

Hi and thanks for all your fine videos! 👍😁 Would you please tell me where to buy the awesome palette you are using in this video? Thanks and greetings from Denmark 😃🇺🇸🇩🇰

[@Off4The4Farm]

Can you please llet us know how long you work on these drawings, that would be great so I don't get so impatint with my efforts. Thanks for another fantastic video x

[@mindofwatercolor]

About an hour on the drawing and inking. Another 40 or so on the color. Speed is not important though which is why I don't like to mention it. Take the time you need to make it right.

[@DrWhom]

This question is related in spirit to the (well-intentioned, no doubt) remark one very often gets when drawing and painting, and someone is looking over one's shoulder: "Wow... I don't have the patience for that." Patience is really not the key factor or bottleneck here.

[@loiscox6421]

Really enjoyed watching the line work! Amazing how effortlessly you can do that! I did this and I wish I could say it was as easy.....lol

[@jessicasobel4287]

your inking is amazing!! I never thought to squeeze the brush like a dropper, will definitely be trying that

[@maryanharrell5642]

Beautiful, Steve. Inspirational for Inktober!!!!

[@kerry5586]

That is beautiful! I can imagine a series of trees like that gracing one wall.

[@sherrikent6628]

I finally got some M Graham paints and oh my goodness. Barely touch them and the paint melts. Love it. Great tutorial as always!❤

[@tammyhampel1449]

Always inspiring. So glad I have found your channel!

[@gwenharrison6752]

Delightful. Looks great.l

[@DenaTollefson]

Hi Steve! Your Inktober apple tree is gorgeous. I get a kick out of you talking to your bony friend at your opening. Hehehe. That Tombow brush pen looks fabulous. Wonderful line work and wash painting, Steve!

[@joanlacasse1402]

So beautyfull

[@CraftyKazzaH]

Fabulous and amazing to see the random splatters turn out so atmospheric

[@ritabook5335]

Visiting here in beautiful upstate NY in September 2020. It's been a gorgeous month. So much subject matter to draw and paint. Loved this video from last year. Lots of great tips and techniques. Thank you so much!

[@sandyzando.7854]

Love how you see beauty and design in the simplest things! Learning so much from you! Blessings!!

Olá! !adoro seus vídeos. porém só posso seguir-lo visualmente. Gostaria que tivesse tradução em português. Sou do extremo sul do Brasil. Minha filha fica traduzindo para mim . Ela faz traduções para vídeos do KZbin. Seu trabalho é fantástico e vc gostaria de traduzi-los? Estamos a sua disposição. Muito obrigada pelos ensinamentos.

[@andreapaterson3269]

This turned out so beautifully! Thanks for sharing. I'm ploughing my way through Inktober this year and may just try a looser colour application on a few!

[@WC100]

Andrea Paterson You are impressed by this channel I am also impressed by this channel I also invite you to my amazing watercolor channel. welcome

[@dawnabbott3783]

I love this....you throw some splatters on (at first I wondered what the heck you were doing) and the end result is astounding.

[@lindakeefover7142]

Beautiful

[@wolfhound665]

Why oh why did you bring up the Jet Pen samplers. I had been avoiding them since I first read their articles and bought some pens. I don't need them but....but SO SHINY!!!!! More pens can't hurt right? Another wonderful video. Thank you for posting.

[@wulfseig1864]

Always a pleasure to watch you create. I love trees! I've always felt that they have soul. I think you captured this trees soul beautifully. Thanks for your inspiration. I have a Majestic Oak tree I've wanted to paint. Just couldn't find the right style or medium. Now I have.

[@LightLynne]

An exciting piece. Your apple tree isn't as interesting as it's lovely reflection from your perfect pen and wash🥀

[@bruceosborne1892]

Nice one Steve.

[@MontuckyGirl75]

I’d love to learn more about sketching and painting branches that come toward me from different heights; below a branch, at eye level, and a bit from above.

[@JOBETHSEXTONSCraftyCauldron]

This was very inspirational. I love trees, especially gnarled trees like this one. Your technique is interesting, too. Thank you for sharing this.

[@marcwheeler4406]

Beautiful....✍🎨

[@Lisa-sy3id]

I needed that scripture today. Thanks!

[@isalawton6239]

Just stunning!

[@marybirder5663]

Amazing work! I recently ordered a set of the Uni-Pin Fineliner Drawing Pens and love using them. It's a set of 8 waterproof liners in a .5 and .1 size nibs in Black, Dark Gray, Light Gray and the same for Sepia. They work well and are a nice change from my Microns and Pitt Artist Pens. That is one, awesome tree! and loving all the details!

[@moonram2569]

Beautiful ! Have u tried inking with fude nib fountain pen, like the Sailor/Duke ? Thanks for sharing your technique.

[@mindofwatercolor]

A little yes. I have the Duke.

[@arlenemurphy804]
