Watercolour Demo 09 Oct 2016 by Szczepan Urbanowicz

A quick painting in watercolour of a scene from Krakow City -back street. In fact the scene is near the Corpus Christi Church in the old city suburb of Kazimierz. This is a study of late afternoon sunlight as it warms one side of the street and casts into shadow the activities of the street. Still trying to loosen up and speed up simplicity in strokes. Music credits to www.musopen.org Chopin Ballade no. 4, Op 52 in f minor and Etude Op 10 no. 4 in C sharp minor.

My Gosh, I don't know what I loved more; the painting, the process, or the background music? Combined, well, no words just a breathtaking experience.

[@katarinamattsson5508]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@szczepan4069]

Glad you liked it Katarina.

*_Very good..Watercolor is not easy..but definitely the most satisfying and challenging. I'm "trying" to make the transition from Oils/Acrylics to watercolor...not easy. My fav. artists are Joseph Zbukvic, Alvaro Castagnet, Hermon Pekal ..to name but three...(I like them because of the beautiful loose style they use in their paintings)..I subscribe to your channel..M_*.

[@lauravlad7216]

Love your style! Please do more videos of streets and buildings! Thanks for sharing:*

[@vima8680]

Beautiful work. I would have love to have seen this in real time no matter how long it took. And at last, if one needed the music at all, music that fits the subject, Chopin! Thank you

[@KIREGREBRON]

Hello Stefan (I read your answer on a comment, that you use to be called Stefan). I discovered this and another video by a chance today. For some years I have been looking at pictures on Pinterest (like John Singer Sargent for example) and learnt a lot from observing, mostly watercolor pictures, which medium attracts me most of all, of some reason which I am not aware of myself. All the good and talented painters I have been studying for thousand of hours are too many to mention. I have not been so dedicated to paint myself, though I have had a strong desire to do so. Today, when I saw your painting videos, was the first time in years I felt a stronger impulse to begin to paint, because everything in the way how you paint, from drawing, to using your brush, to the contrast between dark and light, the beautiful choice of colors, the choice, I suppose, to not be too illustrative, felt almost 100 percent right, in my eyes… as Rumi says, the beauty is in the eyes of the beholder; in this case, my eyes (everyone has a right to his taste and I am judging no one for their taste and choice of art). But, I love (from my heart) your style and feel grateful to you, because you shared your talent and and wonderful creations with all of us who love water color. I will try your technique, maybe with choices of motives from my own environment! I probably have to use my camera more...

[@szczepan4069]

Erik Norberg glad my paintings have brought some inspiration to you. Watercolour is one of those mediums that requires an immense amount of " confidence" and "bravado". I am also just at the beginning of my journey. The only way to overcome your fears is to see exactly the process you intend to follow in your head.... then jump straight in! Good luck and enjoy!

[@szczepan4069]

My painting take about 1 - 1 1/2 hours each to complete.

[@maevecrowley8737]

great work! what are the particular colours you are using in this?

[@donglords69]

Beautiful

[@creativityofsharma379]

Fantastic

[@joanstorer6370]

Thank you so much for sharing this lesson with us. It's beautiful and amazing . You start with nothing and it transforms before our eyes. This is the first time I have seen your work but I will be looking to see more.I just wish I knew how to pronounce your name.

[@szczepan4069]

Thanks so much for your comments! Most people call me Stefan.

[@sharrajd]

Can you give me the link to brush set you've used here.

[@KalkuehlGaming]

Your picture is very good 너무 아름답습니다 ~♡

[@sybillestahl8646]

When this starts it seems so random, but the result is so good. Amazing!

[@szczepan4069]

Sybille Stahl still finding my way!

[@tmp0922]

Very nice, I have subscribed I hope to see many more like this thank you! I have never seen a full pan travel palette like that where can I find if you don't mind me asking?

[@szczepan4069]

Hi Antony. Thanks for subscribing. My aim is to do more of these and record the process of how i put my paintings together. This particular pan was bought on-line from art store in the UK. Jacksons Art Supplies. Around 14 pound sterling.

[@tmp0922]

I'm looking forward to you future videos, thanks for your response. Yes I like the pan very much it's a Frank Herring if I'm correct, I may have to pick one up. Thanks again! And I wish you all the luck, I'll be a loyal follower 😁

[@szczepan4069]

No worries. Looking to head over to Krakow soon and spend a few weeks painting in my favourite city. Maybe a few on-site videos. However, I will be taking stacks of pictures....so i'll be laiden with material to choose from for in-studio sessions. Thanks again.

[@setorawuye5213]

Great work!!! I really like the ease at which you put the painting together..It looks effortless but I believe it is all down to hard work..Question...I am just curious about the angle of your painting board and what do you support it with?..Thanks!

[@szczepan4069]

Hi Setor, I have a book under the backing surface. The angle is about 10-15 degrees.

[@szczepan4069]

Hi Dom... try playing it again.... I’ve tried it a few times on different machines here at home...works fine...

[@dubsbarry9963]

Beautiful work sir. Did you pre-wet the paper or just lay down the initial wash with a loaded mop? It appears the paper was dry. Thank you 🙏
