[@margaretbrownhill1193]

I knew it would be beautiful and I was right, super pleased it wasn’t wrecked and being able to watch you find your way round the problem was a valuable lesson in itself 👍

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

I was fortunate to be able to repair this one, certainly a lesson learned for me! :)

[@margaretbrownhill1193]

smoothie77 for all of us, it brings back memories of the sky in the Belgian canal scene and what the eraser on the Ticonderoga pencil did to the grid lines and hence the graphite powder lol but you found your way out of thatcas well

[@mariakellner2221]

That was a great save,love the scene,wonderful attention to detail.

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks Maria, I'm so happy I managed to save this one, I didn't fancy drawing it out again lol

Amazing! *-* I will have to practice a lot more to draw such amazing pictures. But I made some progress in the last year :D And you are one of the reasons for this progress :) Thank you It would be nice if you would show us some of your landscapes from your sketch books. It would help me a lot to get Inspiration

Ammazing......

[@geoffheath3333]

Very good. You don’t stretch the paper?

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

I didn't back then for this one, I do stretch my paper now though.

[@gillinacook1477]

Hi, I'm a new sub. I've never seen a graphite drawing painted over with watercolour before. I use soft pastels. I would like to try out your method, clever.

[@chriswhitehouse8982]

Jon, great painting, love it! I do have a few questions for you: 1) If your goal is to have a finished painting, is it necessary to do that detailed of a drawing first? I can see it for the buildings, but for all the trees...For example, could you have just drawn a general outline of the trees and then painted them as you did? 2) If you are doing a watercolor painting over a graphite drawing (as you did here), do you do that using watercolor paper or use your normal D.R. smooth drawing paper? and lastly 3) Do you ever have the issue of the masking tape tearing your paper when you pull it off like that?

[@barrieparker200]

Just found your channel, new sub too! Brilliant vids and really good to learn from!

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks Barrie, much appreciated 👍

[@wkutella]

When using watercolor, does your work lie flat? Thank you. I enjoy your videos very much.

[@maryalgar8779]

Great rescue Smoothie! I was ready to have a cry for you, but you found a work-around. Glad you carried on - beautiful scene. What are the names of your two friends you mentioned? I think one was Dave Usher, but couldn't catch the other name.

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks Mary, yes Dave Usher and Alan owen

[@zilgill9589]

Where is this scene from? You said you edited it together on the computer? Weird because I have dreamed of this place several times.

[@LinekeLijn]

Oh no! I see what you mean now! In the end it came out oke but it is a real shame about those eraser lines..... Never mind, that also teaches us a lot and this realy is one stunning drawing Jon!!! ^.^ Well done!

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Thanks Lineke! Yes it was a bit of a disaster at the start, but it turned out reasonably ok, we live and learn (sometimes) :D

[@LinekeLijn]

You are quite right Jon!! I was just happy your coffee didn't run over it Hahahahaha ;) Keep up the great work ^.^

[@emson263]

Hey smoothie did You try factis extra soft erasers for watercolor paper ?

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

No, Haven't tried Fractis, are they any good?

[@maryalgar8779]

Are the white fence posts done with white gouache?

[@smoothie77drawingpainting]

Yes ,titanium white gouache

[@maryalgar8779]
