Love the simplicity of 2 colors. I find the skies you paint fascinating.

Amazing Scot. I have viewed it 10 times and learnt a lot.

[@ashimbera23]

Dabbing tissue is a good technique I learnt today.

[@ScottSwinson]

[@jaynedough130]

thank you for giving more tricks up my sleeve!

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Jayne, no worries! 👍

[@esmed779]

I live both of these colours and together they remind me of the Hartz range near Alice Springs. The earth colour is perfect. Can’t wait to have a go.

[@lizdouglas1952]

BEAUTIFUL!!! Just two colors, and techniques, just finishes this beauty! Thank you, Scott!!😘👍💖🎨

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Liz! Yes it is amazing thing that two colours can look so good! 👍👍

Great! Have fun! It is a great simple painting! But sometimes in watercolour simple is not simple! Enjoy and try it a few times! Cheers Scott

[@wheelie1207]

You overthink, that tree on it's own told a better story than the 3. Great work and I'm a comp novice. Lol

[@ScottSwinson]

Thanks Wheelie! It just felt too close to the edge like it was going to exit stage right! lol

Hi Jackie! Thanks! It is such a great colour combination and so simple in many ways! But of course watercolour is sometimes not simple if you don't understand it. Cheers Scott

[@robertfieldsjr.5919]

You are a Master and a very wonderful artist to share all these watercolor ideas. Keep up the great work. ROBERT

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Robert! All good! It was a simple watercolour that looks just lovely! I think painting with a few colours in watercolour is a good idea!

[@nicolealinelegault]

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Lia! Thanks for following me on Patreon! There is a pic of the weird fan brush on the private Facebook group I sent you the link to. You can hack up a fan brush so it can make interesting marks! 👍👍

[@melaniemcconville1405]

I’ve just found your channel from scrolling through Pinterest watercolour painting inspiration photos.. so glad I did. I’ve been painting since March so still a beginner but watching your videos tonight something has just clicked and hopefully I’m going to be painting a whole lot better. Thank you so much Scott 👌 ps. Your art is fantastic..

[@kerryjordan2525]

Thanks Scott I’m new to this medium and enjoy your simple explanations and fantastic work.

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Kerry! Really glad you have found me if you are new to watercolour! It can be a difficult and frustrating medium if you don't understand it and it is always my aim to help people understand it! Good luck!

[@marioalejandro7549]

[@pamelavallee2395]

Hi! I love so much your style! Thank you for this very interesting demo. As a true beginner, I found it difficult when I tried. It seems very easy...

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Pamela! Yes I think many things are not easy in watercolour at the beginning. I think understanding the medium is important! Really important. Happy painting! Some of my early videos are good to watch if you are just beginning. Have a look! 👍🙏

[@angelashaw5731]

Beautiful - can't wait to try this out! Thanks so much for this great tutorial 🦋

[@Gigiridgway]

I love it

[@ScottSwinson]

Thanks M Giselli! 🙏

[@davidlettin]

Hey Scott... Love your paintings.. so moving and soulful! Learning this amazing medium all the time.. but I always struggle with scraping out lights.. 😥..clumps of paper pull out and sometimes spoil my stuff.. I do wait until totally dry, but is this where I am going wrong?

[@hannahthufvesson]

This is stunning! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Begona! 🙏😄

[@AB-kg6rk]

Thanks pal!

[@carolpenn1155]

Love your work Scott..why don’t you stretch your paper?

[@5fiveluv]

Love it! Could you please tell me what paper you use, what is that tape you use that does not tear off the paper, and what kind of blade do you useTo scrape away color? I would really appreciate your answers!! Love all your work!

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi 55luv! It should all be in the description. I use Rives bfk etching paper most of the time. 280 gsm white. I use 3M removable tape (blue box) snd a Stanley razor.

[@barbaragemin5117]

Beautifully simple and effective Scott. The sky depends on how much water is on the page and how thick the paint is - a delicate balance. Mine are often disappointing. Do you have an idea where you want the clouds to be?

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Barbara, yes when I’m painting most of the time I have a rough idea of where I want the clouds to be. Generally clouds are more saturated at the top of the page and lighter at the bottom as they recede into the distance and become closer together unless it’s a sunrise or sunset which of course is brighter on the horizon! 👍👍

[@peggytapson6745]

Thank you Scott, that's so beautiful in all its simplicity. What Aussie Bush colours do you use?

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Peggy! It is lovely and simple I agree! Paintings don't need to be complicated it is often easy to forget that I find for me! In terms of Aussie Bush colours I'm not the best at mixing those! I often use the earth colours mixed with blues to get something akin to the aussie bush such as cobalt blue and raw umber or french ultra and burnt umber. Cheers Scott

[@marilyncooper3490]

I really enjoy your tutorials - since I am a beginner watercolorist, I find your style of teaching is unintimidating and quite beautiful in a simplistic way. I've discovered that the more I work at my painting the worse it becomes! I like the looseness you give to your paintings. What kind of brush did you use for the trees? Keep the paintings coming - Thank you!

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Marilyn! Yes watercolour can easily turn to mud! That's why it is good to use a limited palette or even just use one colour at times! The brush was an old hacked up fan brush. It makes interesting marks. you can make one with a pair of scissors. Cheers Scott

[@5fiveluv]

Also what brand of watercolors do you use and recommend? You are a wonderful painter!

[@ScottSwinson]

Winsor and Newton artist quality tubes.

[@analuciamendonca136]

Congratulation

[@ScottSwinson]

Thanks Ana! I do love the combination of Paynes Grey and Burnt Uber. Such lovely colours!

[@socratesthecabdriver]

🙏🌊🔱 thank you

[@ScottSwinson]

No worries Socrates! 👍👍👍

[@cindyklasson371]

You say that you’re using Burnt Umber. It looks more like Burnt Sienna though? Can you please confirm?

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Cindy, it is definitely burnt umber by winsor snd Newton. Promise! 👍

[@chrishayman1747]

Daniel smith burnt umber , raw umber ,raw sienna are totally different to Windsor and Newton

[@ScottSwinson]

Thanks Chris! I need to try out Daniel smith watercolours! 👍
