MATERIALS
PEN: A Platinum Century fountain pen with an Ultra Extra fine nib and Platinum Carbon Black ink.
PAPER: Size- 5"x7"
Arches 140lb Hot Press Paper for this Video.
My papers of choice include Arches 140lb Hot press and Cold press paper and Strathmore 500 series Sketchbooks. All are 100% cotton rag.
For beginners, I recommend starting with a high quality paper and experimenting with different types. As your style develops, you'll get a feel for which type is best. Waiting to switch to a better quality paper later will be much like learning to paint all over again.
MY PALETTE: All tube paints!
Winsor Newton- Yellow Ochre, Sepia, Burnt Sienna, Winsor Red, Davy's Gray, Ultramarine, Sap Green.
DaVinci - Phthalo Blue, Quinachridone Fuchsia, Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Cadmium Yellow Deep. *I plan to replace the Fuchsia with Winsor Newton Quinacridone Magenta when mine runs out.*
MIXING PALETTE:
The palette is the mixing tray from a "Koi" Watercolour travel set. The colours are set up so the ones I mix together most often are close together.
BRUSH:
A Currys #3 brush.
A Polar Flo 1/2 inch flat brush is my current favorite. The bristle were originally white but have become stained.

I could watch you paint all day, I love your work…

[@user-sy5pi9yn3g]

patience and being into every line is a beautiful thing! Thank You for helping learn this style of watercolor!

[@marionbik2022]

No need for words. Enjoy your choice of music and find I learn by the way you set up your screen with paint names and can see easily what you are mixing. I like your palette. Thank you once again ✨🎨

[@coconutplanet2186]

Such an enjoyable video ... and exquisite painting! I liked how you created your own border with the ink and how you kept everything simple (but obviously, well thought out). You didn't over work it, something I admire greatly, absolutely *must learn*. I'm fairly new at watercolor painting (less than a year) and I have just recently discovered your channel. THANK YOU for sharing your techniques and beautiful paintings.

[@jorgeluisalbino9620]

Simple but full of beauty, congratulations and thank you for shearing your talent with us.

[@barbaramoll1666]

Just beautifully simplistic, amazing

[@antonioromopiano]

Excellent as always, Peter! Thank you for sharing my music. Always an honor to hear it in your videos. ☺🎹

[@hawkeye9382]

It's beautiful! Very relaxing!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks Antonio :)

[@karenking999]

Of course, I love the art! But that music is also incredible! What is the name of this piece and where can I purchase it?

[@frolicthebay957]

I wanted to send a big thank you for sharing your talent. I am new to watercoloring and have learned so much from watching your videos. It is also extremely relaxing to just sit and watch. Thank you!

[@sayusayme7729]

Don’t have ink yet, saving for later. Beautiful and so relaxing. Thank you.

[@Donna_G]

I love lighthouses. This one is very nice. The music from Antonio is perfect for the mood of the painting.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Hi Donna. Antonio and I both thank you. Very kind :)

[@Nurse3811]

Oh my goodness- the feeling of light you’ve captured!! You are teaching me so much , thank you !!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much Wendy. Always great to hear I've helped in some way :)

[@marybirder5663]

So simple and yet so artistic and beautiful! I'd like to borrow your brain for a week so I could get lots of my sketching done, lol. Your sketches seem to come so easily for you, I say with an envious sigh. I also use Platinum Carbon Black Ink (perfect for line/wash) with my Pilot Fountain Pen, but your sketch appears much lighter, similar to a gray ink. Perhaps it's just my monitor. Many thanks for sharing your great talent and for another great tutorial, Peter!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Very kind words Mary. Thank you very much. I think the difference is most likely the thickness of the nib. Mine is an Ultra extra fine. Peter :)

[@barbhayes5613]

I love these videos. Amazing technique - amazing drawing - beautiful use of watercolor. Thank you!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Very kind words Barb. Thank you very much. Peter :)

Hi, I’m a new subscriber. I love your style of line and wash. The way you kinda frame the painting is amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank you very much John. So glad you enjoy them :)

[@anuradha1128]

exquisite , precision and delightful to watch, my daily meditation. The Charles Sheeler gene is surely a part of your family. Thank you.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much! Although, when I look at his art I think I only got half a gene :)

[@monalcreates]

Beautiful as usual!! I think I have already said it before, but I always loved lighthouses!! :) Thanks for sharing!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Yes, I have a soft spot for them myself. Thanks Mona

[@elizabethprior4968]

Love how you do your perspective freehand - lovely pen and wash painting👍🏻

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much Elizabeth. So glad you enjoyed it :)

[@will-wf6sb]

with a little practice so can you elizabeth .

[@elizabethprior4968]

Bob Long Sadly I’ve been practicing for years and I still can’t achieve this level of spontaneity with buildings. Now florals, still life and landscape yes but when it comes to buildings not so much.

[@waymire01]

@@elizabethprior4968 practice using either tracing paper or a light pad using a reference. Not only is it a good way to get the drawing your are looking for until you build the skill, it trains your hand and eye making it easier to do your own sketches. Like training wheels.

[@preetiaggarwal4346]

I absolutely adore your artwork! Can't thank you enough!!

Excellent video. The pen looks beautiful as well. May I know what brand it is and the nib size please?

Thanks Momchil. Nice to know you're still with me :)

[@silvioparente760]

Hi Peter, your watercolors are beautiful. Also I try to paint, but why when the wet brush is passed on the pen is the whole design stained? I would be grateful if you could answer me.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Hi Salvo. I use three different inks that do not bleed. Uni-ball Deluxe Micro Rollerball pen, Pigma micron pens and Platinum Carbon black ink in my fountain pens. If any of these bleed on you than it will be the quality of your paper and you will have to change it.

[@silvioparente760]

Thanks Peter, you have been very kind, I will try to change paper. ;)

[@RodolfoGerhaber]
