Moody Granulating Sky Watercolor Tutorial

[@FaerieDust]

I know they don't do as well bc algorithms and whatever, but I really like your longer videos and appreciate the effort that goes into making them. I just wanted to say that 🥰

[@huskytail]

I completely agree. I'm doing this one as soon as I have a little bit of spare time

[@loracharis6814]

Same here. 👍🏽

[@TuxieTude]

Me too 😆

Thanks so much!

💯 percent agree 🎥

This brought to mind the songs: Sittin on the Dock of the Bay" and "Here comes the Sun" what wonderful, peaceful place. The leaves rustling in the breeze, ripples in the water as a turtle surfaces, in the distance a Mallard and a Drake making a nest, time of relaxation, just breathing in and out, slowing and letting go of everyday worries. I can feel the breeze and hear the reeds and Cat Tails, as the tides evolve, my eyes are closed and I am there in this time and space, if only for a short time, exhaling and letting the peace settle over me. Thank you for sharing.

[@amypanddirtytoo1926]

Daaaaaanng. I could totally feel myself at this place! You have a way with words!😄😄

[@thefrugalcrafter]

My pleasure!

I wanted to watch this again because the first time my attention was divided and I’m glad I did because I forgot to give it a 👍the first time! I so enjoyed watching this process with my full attention. You have just been on fire through world watercolor month and your passion for wc is so obvious it makes it so much fun to watch!

[@huskytail]

Lindsay, they are out of stock already. The store was Lindsay-ed (mentioned by the frugal crafter and a bomb of shoppers descended on them 😂)

[@loracharis6814]

And the price has jumped on the pan set. Smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@louisapdjones]

Lindsey, I'm inspired to try your techniques for sky and water. I love the use of granulation in the sky. Your approach was different frm others I've watched. The result surprised and inspired me. I'm also going to pay more attention to the pigment codes. Thank you.

[@hurstjames6196]

Hello 👋how're you doing today hope you're safe over there?

[@starshinesoldier]

So pretty! I love the texture and granulation on the paints!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Me too!

[@samanthaglorioso8440]

Love it! These paints are now out of stock! Just as well, I have enough paint! I'll make due with what I have! Makes me want to go for a swim! Good one, Lindsay. That!

WOW.....from the talented Linsey....who can make anything work.

[@stanky6261973]

I really enjoyed this painting! Beautiful sky. Beautiful scene. Tfs, Lindsay.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks!

[@EreIGo]

Guess who snuck over to Amazon after last week’s #SatChat and grabbed this set? Painting along with you using it now… thank you for all you’re doing…this “old lady” has learned so much from you and has truly progressed as an artist (lifelong dream).

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Loved watching you paint as you rationalize each step out loud… thanks for sharing Lindsay!! 🥰👍🏾💕🤩

[@reneboykin]

Love the boat because it reminds me of going to the lake to catch catfish.

[@j9hnck]

Stunning Lindsay. The sky is amazing and I’m loving the ripples in the water too. I have you to thank for getting me to truly enjoy painting with watercolors. I was so frustrated for the longest time….and then I found Lindsay. You saved me from giving up on watercolors.

[@marilynkadzielski9670]

Love your commentary as you paint- effective teaching method. Thank you!

[@sierracarscadden6049]

Oh man I love this!! The colors are so beautiful!! Definitely gonna try this one! Thanks Lindsay!

[@leannemitchem8865]

I love watching you paint. I love it! That sky is so cool. Thank you for sharing!

[@miroux1111]

Beautiful. This paint is a real surprise.

[@cj_kirby]

Glad to see you enjoying your watercolor tutorials again. You seem very relaxed, calm and non stressed with this one. It's a pleasure watching you create. The granulation in that sky is amazing! I'm almost glad these are currently out of stock because the last thing I need is more paint. But then again, who am I kidding? When was "need" ever a deciding factor in purchasing new watercolors? Never for this lady. The greedy paint monster wins nearly every time.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

My want monster has been out of control!

[@marshaparsons6515]

You are just brilliant and it's such a joy to watch you paint. Thanks for sharing your gift with us. I just might give this one a try.

[@Roadtaken-fi1cd]

The sky is stunning! I really liked the boat too with its weathered texture.

[@robinfoss4409]

loved watching you create this scene! Learned so much too!

[@TuxieTude]

This turned out so beautifully! 🥰

thank you lindsay .yet again a new set of watercolors for me i love them also .i want to try this landscape you are so talented,

[@sondrabrown442]

It’s gorgeous Lindsay! Especially the sky, I’ve gotta try that. I couldn’t resist those paints when they had the coupon, had to grab them. Thanks Lindsay!

I hope you like them!

This is absolutely gorgeous!

[@julieanntorrens5548]

Lindsay, I hope you read this. I was very remiss for not making a comment the first two times I watched this tutorial. I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS I am working on my budget to include Critique Club because I want to drink in your tutorials. I am sorry they do not get the view time you would like but they are a huge part of my art journey. When you even suggest that you may give up KZbin my heart always sinks in my chest. 0 I depend on your reviews before I make a purchase 0 I study your tutorials and often watch them several times 0 I look forward to Sat Chat! I do not have many friends but my Saturday Coffee is a standing appointment with YOU.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Aww, thank you for taking the time to comment:)

[@geriprior751]

Trying to catch up on your watercolour videos as I’ve been away. Loving how I can follow along better as I am part way through your landscape class! Learning so much. Thank you Lindsay!

[@naturesbestart-vickiachard8067]

This is beautiful Lindsay. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@jeankellner4314]

They seem to be active almost like the QOR, which are great for background washes because of the way they move. They are a lot cheaper than QOR, though. QOR is also very vibrant. It is nice to see the vibrancy in the Art Whale. I can see why they would be out of stock already. :) Great landscape! Thanks for the tutorial.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

QoR is a higher quality paint with more variety in pigments (but yes a much higher price 😆) but these are great for the price!

[@hurstjames6196]

Hello 👋how're you doing today hope you're safe over there?

[@hermajestyqueenmarcia]

Hi Lindsay. I did watercolor years ago and have forgotten so much now I'm into pencils, but I couldn't resist checking out this scene with the great fabulous sky! Thanks so much for your detailed teaching. I'm sure everyone wishes you could be a personal art buddy.. you're just perfect ... So talented, so helpful and upbeat.i love that you're a fast talker.. I come from a family in which get togethers mean games and several conversations at once with everyone's understanding that we interrupt, we're loud, and we like to win... laughing of course. Love and thanks, Marcia in Modesto

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks!

[@annettefournier9655]

Thanks Lindsay. Enjoyed the tutorial. My first attempt went badly. I'll try again tomorrow. Mine was to dark and the boat is wonky. To tired I think from doing the marathon grocery trek.😉💜

[@cloverrabbit5622]

Beautiful painting Lindsay! Love the colors in the sky. It would be nice to be sitting on the shore and watch all the beauty of the water and sky.

Glad I am not the only person using a clip board as a hard backing for my painting paper.

[@carmennunez715]

Very beautiful, I tried to follow along with my Rosa Gallery since I had just finished doing the color chart. I will try again with the Art Whale. I love the sky the paints move beautifully. I was waiting to open them to see which one you prefer but I think I will have to keep them after seeing this painting. The reference photo is very nice.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They are both good. Rosa will be easier to get replacements of colors you run out of and are a bit higher quality I think but I am glad I got the art whate tubes because they are now sold out!

[@joys4524]

Lindsay, try Incredible Whit masking fluid by Grafix, you can us a heat tool with it and it can becleft on the paper for a long time. It is awesome. My only complaint is it is white and hard to see. Can it be tinted and if so, with what please?

I love ur attention to detail. The sky is gorgeous!

[@pats7276]

Tubes are currently not available so I ordered the 48 pans (I prefer anyway) at $34.95 and $5 coupon delivering Saturday. Hope you like the pans too. I'm loving what the tubes are doing for you. Colors look more vibrant than Pretty Excellent. Thanks for all you do.

[@margaretmitchell3144]

I did the same! I will order the tubes when they become available for refills

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I think part of that is being able to put them in a larger well and get a big brush in there vs the pretty excellent half pan. Both sets are great.

[@debiv7834]

So pretty! ❤️ wish I was sitting in that kayak!

[@phillipstroll7385]

I agree with you and I'm very thankful for your review video. Normally I'm not a spur shopper and I normally don't play attention to anything a KZbinr reviews; however, maybe a week a go these went on sale. Amazon sent me a notification so I thought hmm I can get those for about 10 dollars. I came to KZbin to see if you had an opinion about these. After watching I bought these. Not do I love them. They are fun paints to paint with. I love love love how easily the colors push into one another. How well they move I think you called it. So glad I got these. After using these and the camel kokuyo I'll not be buying daniel smith or winsor newton ever again.

[@ianjackson5834]

love the great feel and effect you got in the sky and sun, thank you for the video

Hi Lindsay, I finally got to finish watching this, but I gave it a thumbs up and put in my likes folder right away because this is the kind of watercolor paintings I like, landscapes. If possible, I would also like to see simple landscapes done in either oil pastels or hard (not soft pastels, as I have none) pastels. Thanks again for this video. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@JoAnneMOwens]

I wanted to let you know that I had these in my cart on Amazon, prepared to buy them the day that your initial review was posted. Well, went back a day or so later and they had sold out! I then thought, I’ll bet It was because of your review! Now I am watching like a hawk 🤣 and won’t let them get by me again! Lovely painting, I love your style! Tfs

Such a wonderful watercolor painting! I did see that Amazon had sold out! You are a product mover! I did search Art Whale watercolor paints and found the company site and found that the 24 tubes and 48 half pans for sale at the same price, $35.00 They seemed to be affiliated with Holbein? Weird as they list Florida as their home office. But if your desperate to buy and cannot wait for Amazon to re-stock they an be found! As an aside I really enjoyed your high tech solution of paper towel for dabbing the color up to create highlights! Thanks Lindsay, stay safe out there!

I really enjoyed this Lindsey, thank you! I the think what's wrong with them is they are already out of stock! I can accept a price increase, but what, they only had 10 sets to sell? I am sad. But that's okay! I'll try using my "Pretty Excellent" set instead! LOL!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I think the minimum to have amazon house your product is 50 so maybe they only started with that many to see if they would sell?

Hello 👋how're you doing today hope you're safe over there?

[@kathleenmartell5891]

Hi there Lindsay! I have been growing in my interest in watercolor painting once again partially because of you and your passion for watercolor and partially because I just like watercolor. I've been working on re engaging with ART on a daily basis and as part of this effort on my part I've been looking over You Tube which is how I found you. You are really great and knowledgeable and I am learning a lot from you. Thank You! I happened to discover that Rembrandt (the company) also produces watercolor sets. They are expensive but have very positive reviews. I doubt that I would spend what their paints are priced at but I'm wondering if you have any knowledge about them.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes! They are wonderful! I have the 48pan Set and a few tubes. Great stuff! Sometimes you can snag a set cheaper on Amazon.

[@chantalmassin1756]

At times I get really confused with what color to use cause it has turned brown could you give me some advice. Your soo gifted

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I did a video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2fCdHmphL1ma8k

[@megsgonnamake]

GORGEOUS! I am so excited to see what you think about the 48 set..I have been learning a lot about pigments and I feel like the pigment info is incorrect for the half pans, but I am not a Pro so yea..It frustrated me a bit lol

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I just got them today. For the most part I think the pigments are accurate. There are a couple mix labeled ones tho. They ate the same as the artsy half pan set I reviewed, just more colors. I like them tho and I think it's a good value.

[@megsgonnamake]

@@thefrugalcrafter YOu are awesome..Thanks, Lindsay!

[@wrenbayley]

So you used the tube paints in this tutorial, not the half pan set, right?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes

[@throughmyeyes9940]

Hi Lindsay, wonderful video as usual; Q; Amazon says for "Adults, Kids, Teens" and "Non-Toxic" (not AP Non-Toxic) yet it has a cobalt in the 48 pan set there are cadmiums, what gives?

[@samanthaglorioso8440]

OK, sucked in again!. My Rosa paints showed up this week, and just swatched them out, and WOW are they pigmented. But the Art Whale WC tube paints are back in stock at $32, and I had $8 in Amazon reward points, so I ordered them. I have a cute little palette that will hold all 24 colors just waiting for the perfect paints, and these look like the ones! Like I need more paint (NOT!). But really, after this one NO MORE! But the upside to this is, I feel so guilty for buying all these paints I don't really need I feel like I need to paint more and use them. Like trying to paint every day. Which is a good thing! Can I convince myself of this? Yeah, probably. Thanks for this great tutorial. I will try this as soon as my paints get here!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

That's what I love! I can use then freely cuz they ain't precious! But still preform well!

[@silylily1212]

You make it look so easy but I can't get the blending to work without mud

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You will get there. Try fewer colors until you know what mixes well.

[@ArtBrain]

Oooh, I'm going to try this with my Phoenix, Royal & L and Daniel Smith. See if paint makes me any better of an artist, LOL. I'll do the DS first to give the others a fighting chance (because I'll have PRACTICED before doing the others). Just love this, as usual your sky is the BEST, unbeatable by anyone I can think of. Thanks for the tutorial. Hope the Art Whale tubes come back in stock soon. You need to warn these companies that you're going to review their Schtuff, so they can be ready with stock ;-).

beautiful rendering of a great scene Lindsay, but I must say that the "viridian" hue colour in the foreground...really takes me away from the painting, as it is too bright and does not repeat anywhere...thought you, at one point, were gonna dull it...and I was cheering you on...but nope you did not!....just , to me, sticks out like a "sore thumb" as does the red colour in the back-round hills...just me though...you may fell differently...thank you for an awesome tutorial and painting, once again!...Janis
