Watercolor Snowy Forest

[@cathylathrop8104]

That was a fun one❤ had to just dive into this one to take the fear of trees and branches to the next level!

[@HanhVu-o7k]

That’s exactly how it should be! I did not like painting trees for a long time believe it or not. Happy painting!

You only just popped up today on my sidebar so hope this comment will help your algorithm. Looking at what you have already uploaded, your content looks interesting. What a great tutorial. As a raw beginner, I really appreciate your gentle vocal tones and added tips and advice. 😊

@@Marilyn100w thank you for the feedback. I will keep it in mind as I make more videos. Happy painting!

Thank you for such a detailed instructional video, it gives me confidence and I love snowy scenes. thank you also for the great reminder of consciously avoiding mark regularity, using the word pattern really helped bring it home to me because my brain is very insistent on “matching” marks unless I consciously avoid it.

[@pushingpigmentsbyhv]

@@peony4954 I’m glad you find it helpful. I have to remind myself too! It takes conscious effort to avoid making patterns for sure. Have fun painting! Thank you for watching.

It’s a lovely winter forest! Thanks for sharing! 😊

@@lainareeves559 thank you!

[@lindacarlson8515]

Thank you! Love your color choices and the tip of wetting the paper, waiting a bit and re wetting so the paper stays wetter longer ❤

[@pushingpigmentsbyhv]

@@lindacarlson8515 thank you! I’m glad you found it helpful. I noticed that I was not patient enough to do that, but it’s a good tip I learned from others.

[@roxannerosecrans1348]

[@LouisaBlair-d4q]

Love this! Has anyone figured out a technique to paint the fine outer branches of deciduous winter trees without having to paint every single branch? I don’t want it to look like there are leaves which wouldn’t be there in the winter. I mangled an old fan brush, but that still gave me straight lines which I didn’t like. A sea sponge looked like leaves. Any ideas?

[@pushingpigmentsbyhv]

@@LouisaBlair-d4q painting those branches really is a chore! Try a liner or rigger brush. Or, just paint a few branches, some trees are bare too. Otherwise I don’t have any other ideas as of now, but I do wonder if mesh could work? I’ll have to give it a try and see.

[@ZeeCeeCreations]

Your painting is lovely and your demo is great. A couple suggestions, if I might? You say “um” or “uh” about every other word. It distracts from your instruction. Also, turn the orientation of your phone to landscape when filming for KZbin. The viewer has a much better perspective. Thanks so much!

[@pushingpigmentsbyhv]

@@ZeeCeeCreations thank you for the feedback. A lot of my voiceovers are done on one go with limited free time (I have a full time job and parent of young children), so I do my best with narrating on the go. I wish it was easier and smoother! I’ll keep that in mind. As far as the orientation, I’m still trying to figure out why it keeps uploading like this onto . It didn’t use to be like that. I hope to get it fixed soon. Thank you.
