Paint a simple Winter Scene with Birch Tree. Line and Wash Watercolor . Loose style. Peter Sheeler

This quick and loose style is how I like to paint when outdoors and on location. Finished before paint freezes in winter or the mosquitoes find you in summer.
** Now selling my paintings on Ebay **
Link: www.ebay.ca/sch...
MATERIALS:
PEN: The Uni-ball deluxe micron roller ball pen .5mm nib. These pens are extremely waterproof on my papers and can be painted over immediately. The roller ball is almost indestructible and claims to be archival.
PAPER: Size- 5"x7"
Arches 140lb Hot Press Paper for this Video.
My papers of choice include Arches and Fabriano 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.*
A note on Davy's Gray: I rarely use this pigment straight and when using it I usually mix it with each colour used.
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.

I so enjoy watching and studying how you draw and paint. Watercolor can be tough for a beginner. I've painted in oils and acrylics but stayed away from watercolor. You, sir, has helped me put that first drawing pencil to paper as well as watercolor. Please don't stop. You are helping so many people around the world. I am from the USA. This painting turned out lovely. Landscape is so fun to paint. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. Always good to hear I've helped in some way.

[@julieandrews730]

Love your simple palette (as I contemplate a heap of paint tubes). It's inspiring!

Thank you Peter for all your tutorials. I have grown my talent because of you. My watercolor is good. My goal is to do your style out of my memory/thoughts. Thank you from my whole heart! Your the best!

[@PeterSheelerart]

Very kind words Dawn and greatly appreciated.

[@wd5739]

I found your art through pinterest & it led me here to your channel. Thank you for your videos! They've helped improved my art so much this last week. I was beginning to become frustrated and fed up feeling like I just _couldn't_ progress any further but your videos have really helped me and seeing my progression even in the smallest of lines and details really helped bring back some of that excitement for drawing and watercoloring that I felt like I was losing. Thank you so much for sharing your work!

[@sarviaquara4519]

[@diannaa5631]

Love this.simple enough for my first scenery piece.thank you

[@rebaw3624]

I have long wanted to learn watercolor painting but kept putting it off with excuses, "I have no talent, I can't draw, watercolor is so difficult" you get the picture. Then a few months ago I found your tutorials....with an almost tachycardic heart and too much trepidation, supplies were pulled out of the drawer and I began. Your technique and wonderful teaching techniques are simply fabulous! Thank you for sharing and teaching!!

[@XD-jl8zb]

Love all of your works. Your drawing soothes my heart. You gave me a dream to be a painter. I wish all the best. Thank you from Korea 😍💕

I absolutely love this drawing and painting of yours. There was just something about it that spoke to me. I used to live where birch trees grew, but now I am living in the high desert of Arizona.

Dear Peter I am an admirer of your work. I recently started watercolour painting and learning from your videos. I also use your work as reference, good as i can as a learner. Also duly acknowledge in my notionation before sharing it with others. Hope that is ok. Thanks for inspiring me !

[@barbarawilliams7012]

Beautiful, stress-free demo with no distracting prattle, just gentle, unobtrusive music. I am dedicating a special hard back book to pen and wash inspired by you. Just one thing,your info seems to be missing from this one although it doesn’t really matter as you have it all on screen. Thank you.

[@느티-w6l]

[@carynregan8319]

Very nice!!

[@dharmeshsharma]

Hey love you drowning. Waiting new one hope you well!❤️👍👍

[@donnabufalieri769]

Beautiful!

[@katepanthera7265]

Love this. Just wondering if you slant your painting up a little to get the colors to move downward? Also, is the palette you're working from a "permanent" palette that you use for landscape paintings? It looks like you've got everything set up to have just the colors you need for this type of painting right at hand.

[@PeterSheelerart]

Hi Kate. Yes I sometimes slant it. The colours are just the ones I've used for my videos since the beginning. I do have much larger palettes

[@krismua1209]

So pretty. 😍

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thanks Kris

[@kathyschieb6686]

I clicked on show more for the write up but there is nothing there. Can you tell me where it is please? Love watching you work.

[@susanhepburn6040]

Lovely! Thank you very much.

[@valborchardt3596]

Aaaahh there you go Peter, the warmer tones really made this picture beautiful. Thank you so much. Stay safe

[@berylrose3213]

Really enjoyed watching you Paint this picture. Can you tell me the type of black pen You were using at the beginning please" Thank you

[@Valerieknitterhands]

Inspiring

[@nahassia]

thanks for sharing all your beautiful work, a precious source of inspiration. Would you mind telling how you prep your plastic palette in a way that colors mix nicely and don't bead ?

[@waymire01]

Some people have success with either a "magic eraser" (from the cleaning section of your local store), an actual rubber eraser, toothpaste, or very fine grain sandpaper. Basically you want to scrub the very top of the surface off without tearing it up too much.

[@tombryan720]

Excellent

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you so much 😀

[@mansigupta]

After first 5 mins, I thought yes, the scene is perfect... wonder why the video is so long. Then you'd go and add something, and I'd think, oh, right, now its perfect, and then you'd add the next thing and make it even more (?) perfect! 😃😃

[@Chirp54]

Thank you so much for so many projects to share! This is the third one of yours I will be painting. I do have a question if you don't mind. Do you squeeze fresh paint from tubes for every painting? If not, do you keep the paint on you palette moist somehow? Thank you!

[@girishthakre1483]

Sir...it's very beautiful...one thing I want to ask you....how u draw portraits?...can u demonstrate one of them?...I would like to learn from u

[@PeterSheelerart]

Thank you very much. Sorry, I don't do portraits.

[@robertpeng6035]

really love ur paintings！

[@berylrose3213]

Very good, I like the tree Could you tell me the name of the Pen you drew it with please. Thank you

[@bobyounger6109]

I’m wondering if you could get black heavy clouds spilling ink on the paper?

[@valeriaskorupa9410]

Danke ❤️

[@PeterSheelerart]

You're very welcome.

[@cindybradbury8644]

Hi, what was that nifty acrylic tool you used to create the look of the trees?

[@Mr.S65]

I like your palette, what brand is it?

[@pamelachoquette7378]

What was the clear plastic tool you used for the background twigs and saplings?

[@PeterSheelerart]

The handle of the paint brush
