Misty Winter Sunrise, trying cheap hake brushes, loose watercolour landscape painting tutorial demo

[@Michael-lq5di]

Your videos are so inspiring and enjoyable 😊

[@nownewstrue]

So happy and grateful that you've shared your watercolor paint demos. I have been painting along with you as an absolute beginner and finally feel like I'm understanding watercolor and totally enjoying myself. I plan to paint along with all 400+ videos! Truly a gift to myself of a relaxing hour of creativity. Thank you!!

[@deborahgoodwin3426]

The sky is just so magnificently luscious!! Such a wonderful misty atmosphere...... Simply lovely. Thank you for sharing. 👩‍🦳🖌️

[@craftytraveler9238]

I am amazed at your painting technique of swiping on colors, turning your board around and ending up with that beautiful sky. If I did that it would look like mud. Thanks for the video.

[@Wal48]

That sky worked out really nicely. Nice fresh looking image.

[@toffylikesgames]

I love how loose you are here with your painting! It makes such a nice misty effect, perfect for winter :) I'd love to get brushes like that!

[@lyndonreddick1888]

Really nice, you have the magic touch.

[@loisbrennan3967]

I love this , the sky looks so real-just like the sunrise over the high Weald where I am.

[@sherryburnett6088]

Beautiful. Love love the sky

So soft. Brilliant! This is my first video from you. I am going to look at your channel. You have a new subscriber. I have a 1" that look like yours and a 2" W&N hake that has shorter hair and is stiffer. You gave me the inspiration to use them. Thank you for sharing.

Brilliant colours in the sky Lois, certainly had to use your skills with the brushes able to take more water. You've achieved good depth in this painting, thanks for sharing greatly appreciated stay safe and healthy. Good new year ahead to you and family

Thanks so much Philip, happy new year!

[@aqsariaz6790]

Lois it's just woooooowwww 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@TheDabshear]

Beautiful painting and great recovery from that juicy brush. I love hake for applying water but really dislike painting with them. Between the loose hairs and the textures amount of water they hold I don’t enjoy them. You did a great job and allowed the painting to do what it wanted to do! Thank you for sharing!

[@dancer4560]

love your demos.They have really helped me get back "my art spirit". TY. I must say I am learning about the colors I need to realize that yellow and blue make green and find a blue shade that doesn't blend to a green lol. I have to find blue shades with red in them so I don't get green-is that correct what are some of these shades? You mentioned one-cobalt turquoise red shade-TY. The book "Making Color Sing" has taugh me a great deal about color but still it is to my mind confusing.

[@friedaschnell6887]

Lois you are brave using new brushes for the first time for us! Needless to say that its SO helpful for me to watch your process working through that. So thank you! Do you have a picture of the South Downs? Being from the US I will probably never get there but I'd love to see what you're seeing. This painting tells me its lovely. I love how the sky, mist, trees et al happened. It's a beautiful painting!

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks! If you Google South Downs National Park UK, you will see what the area is like!

Wonderful ! .How would you try to paint shyning ice on branches ?

[@FannaTurano]

I have the identical hake brushes, & they definitely have a learning curve. They still drop hairs on every painting I create, something to be aware of. For me, they are a "pita,". What is imperial size? 1/4 sheet? And I LOVE the gorgeous skies you always create! This one is so happy.

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks! Yes, they did shed some hairs, thanks for your feedback, i shall keep an eye on that in the future! 1/4 imperial sheet is 11" x 15"/28cm x 38cm

Thanks, its a heavy linen-covered cardboard canvas for painting with oils or acrylics, i use it as a board instead

[@lkv2021]

Beautiful painting, as usual. Do you ever use hot press paper? Would you give a demonstration using hot press?

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks, i do use hot press but it's a much trickier paper for beginners, and here I like to do demos and tutorials that even beginners can try, and succeed with with a bit of practice, so probably not

[@lkv2021]

@@LoisDavidsonArt I see. Years later, I still feel like a beginner! Lol. Merry Christmas!

A lovely picture. I am going to take up water colour painting and would like to ask you what paper do you recommend for me to buy ?

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks, I recommend any 100% cotton paper, cold pressed is best for the beginner, 140lb weight

[@Supemarshallmarshall]

Hi Louise. Lovely stuff. You will like a book called Realistic Abstracts by Kees Van Aalst. Similar to your delightful paintings. As with your work I found it inspiring.

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks so much, I have that book, and it is wonderful, it is one of the things that inspired me to try to be a bit looser and more abstract in my approach while keeping a thread of realism where possible, KVA is an amazing artist and teacher

[@santoshbehera6823]

You r stunning.

[@kileensmith5134]

I just bought the same brush! The two inch. It drops hairs, holds way too much water for a novice,like me. But I keep trying. Watching your beautiful tutorials has inspired me to forge ahead! Thank you!

[@sophiethelningart]

I too bought a couple of cheap brushes like those online but the hairs keep falling out! Any tips on how to “fasten” them or should I just Chuck them out and buy new??
