Equipment list: I'm using some lovely 100% cotton Arches watercolour paper today, it's a smallish block measuring 18cm x 26cm or 7 inches x 10 inches. The paper is 300gsm or 140lb weight. The colours I'll be using are: Neutral Tint, Cobalt Blue, Raw Sienna, Alizarin Crimson Hue, Burnt Sienna, and White Gouache. The brushes I'm using are: a large Escoda Ultimo synthetic mop brush size 14; a Princeton Neptune round synthetic brush size 4; a mid-size Da Vinci Colineo synthetic flat brush size 12; a Pro Arte synthetic Masterstrokes Series 60 miniature brush size 4/0; a Pro Arte synthetic Sword Liner brush size Small; and a small Daler Rowney Aquafine Fan brush size 2.
Thank you all for watching! I hope you enjoy this video, let me know if you'd enjoy seeing me paint some more classic landscapes such as this. Wishing you all a wonderful day, and happy painting!

I'm using this motif to create a condolence card for a friend whose partner passed away. I love the simplicity and mood.

[@MorgaineRoseArt]

Thank you very much, and my condolences ❤

Oh sweet lady, this is so my type of scene. I think I love herons almost as much as you, as I have paintings of them too. I got some sword liner brushes when you did, but unlike you, I'm too heavy handed to use them effectively. Guess I need more practice, and less weight using them. I love seeing them put to good use, and giving the tall grasses reed and so on a real feel. I felt like asking my Dad for a brush, something out of the box, but I reckon he'd get me a chimney sweep... LOL ( Not really). The watery sun has such a beautiful lazy Sunday afternoon mood around it. So gentle and inviting. Just the kind of place we could plonk a deck chair down and tip a nice hot brew from a flask, sharing the moment with that special person. For me that's my precious wife.. Keep yourself wrapped up, the forecasters reckon we're in for some nasty cold stuff for a few days. Take care Morgaine. TTFN

[@MorgaineRoseArt]

Thank you Graham, I agree it would be a lovely spot for some quiet contemplation. Take care & stay safe! 😊❤

Thank you Morgaine for this lovely painting . Very nice job !🖌♥

[@MorgaineRoseArt]

Thank you! 😁

[@larkspin]

So nice to see your process with direction of brush or particular brush choice. I was particularly interested in seeing your use of the sword liner in different ways than I've imagined. Hopefully all of these actions will be stored up in the grey matter for future use!! Thank you very much for this video.

[@MorgaineRoseArt]

Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed it! 😊❤

[@delphinewood7519]

Gorgeous! Loved the technique you demonstrated to paint the foreground land area. I can easily see how I can use it to paint the foreground of the rocky desert where I live. Thank you. I find this quite helpful.

[@MorgaineRoseArt]

Thank you very much! Happy to be helpful! 😊❤

[@themeparksvisionart]

Amazing painting love it detail look so good keep going brilliant work! 😄👍

Love this painting and thank you for showing your palette. It is incredibly helpful to see the consistency. A lovely tutorial.

[@Amy-um2lk]

I recently downloaded this pic and was kind of stumped how to do the foliage in the front. I figured Lois and Morgaine might have a good tutorial on foliage, and I see you have a tutorial on this exact picture! Perfect. : )

[@susanamer7904]

Dear morgaine, very nice scene , soft colours, easy on the eye . Great sense of distance across the lake and lovely to see your little heron friend again. The reeds really help to frame him 😊Love all your brush choices and thanks for all your commentary on the various uses of them. I am enjoying using my sword liner btw 👍😍

[@MorgaineRoseArt]

Thank you so much Susan! Glad to hear you’re enjoying your sword liner too! 😁❤️

[@tracylamarca575]

I love the reeds and rocks in the foreground! They are so lovely! I usually try my reeds with a rigger - I do have a sword liner - I need to try it out using your demo!

[@MorgaineRoseArt]

Thank you! I must remember to try out my rigger; it’s sitting unused in my brush pot for now!! 😁

[@chrisbories8600]

Hello. J’adore vraiment votre méthode pour valoriser l’aquarelle. Je suis encore loin de faire aussi bien, mais je m’attache à vos vidéos qui sont très romantiques et dans la douceur. Cela semble facile, et je vais continuer, pour le plaisir. 🥰😍🤩🥰😍🤩🥰😍🤩 From Tarn, France.

[@MorgaineRoseArt]

Thank you so much, I’m very glad you enjoyed the video! 😊😊 ❤

[@gordonyounce4266]

loved your painting! hope you do more paintings like this. i am a beginner so like painting on 7 in x 10 in paper.

[@MorgaineRoseArt]

Thank you! Glad you liked it. I too really like painting on this size of paper! 😊❤

[@gailbryce5842]

Thank you Morgaine , such an Absolutely beautiful painting, I have learnt so much, and can’t wait to practice, I would love to purchase this piece of work for my new home, if available? If not it has been a pleasure to observe.

@@LoisDavidsonArt hi again, I am sorry to bother again, I did click the link and have as far as I am aware purchased, and very excited, however when I pressed the done button, it returned me to here, please could you confirm my purchase, I even left a little note for Morgaine, I am now a little anxious, apologies for being not so clever with technology xx

@@LoisDavidsonArt Hello yet again, the panic is over, and I do apologise for being anxious, very thrilled to be receiving this painting, thank you so much 😊 xx

[@jamicraig3965]

Your tutorials are sooo helpful and generous! Hoping you could tell a beginner in watercolors, if you could only have five brushes, what would those be? Thanks so very much.

[@maryannperkins6000]

Wonderful Love your easy voice detailing your art process What brush is the dagger you used for the weeds Will keep checking in for your beautiful work 5:28

Thank you so much! The brush for the reeds is a synthetic Sword liner brush from Pro Arte in size Small. 😊

What is a good substitute for neutral tint? Is it Paynes gray?

[@phyllisjordan7410]

Is Neutral Tint really Paynes Grey?
