This painting makes me think of the blurred line between heaven and earth. I love it.

Yes I like it.

Thanks cbm-solhem!

Nature is awesome, created by God. Always keep that in mind. If it wasn't created you wouldn't have landscapes to paint.

[@ScottSwinson]

The world is a beautiful place! 👍

[@obmaps]

Scott, this such a strong, exciting painting! It is positively inspiring. Thank you for going through all the effort to record your steps and explanations. I love your work, and how you focus on nature. It’s apparent that you are moved by the wonders of the universe too.

[@brucewagner4394]

Looks so simple...ha ha ha I know better. Fantastic job 👏👍

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Bruce! Thanks! Yes that applies to so many watercolours. They can look so simple but try and recreate it and it's more difficult than you thought. Happy painting mate!

[@anneoconnor-qh5ri]

Three strokes and I'd buy it 5 stokes and I couldn't afford it! Love your work...... If only my watching could make me an artist!

[@glenysingvarson9968]

As yachties this painting scares me a bit. Have seen these ominous skies when sailing. Not a good feeling heading into it. Apart from my that, absolutely love the painting. Love to give it a go.

[@christianebehr138]

I recently went to the JMW Turner exhibit at the Kimbell in Fort Worth, Texas. This painting of yours is so gorgeous and is as equally impressive as any one of Turner’s on exhibit!! The composition and drama of this reminds me of Turner’s style in many of his oil paintings. I know he did watercolor as well, but to me it’s so impressive how you achieved this kind of drama with watercolor as he did with his oil paintings. Just so amazing and stunning. I just love your work. Cheers!

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi JHM! Thanks so much! You are too kind! I love his work! That painting of light is what interests me soo much! It is what drives me to keep painting and trying to capture the feeling of a place! Thanks so much for your comments! Cheers Scott

Hi Scott. The left handed like us are the best 😁 I love watching pigments dancing on the paper, it's so Magic 🥰 In this painting I Can see the eye of the univers protecting the small boat and guiding him in a big storm. Next time I comment in french 😁 my phone always corrects what I try to write 😡 Don't forget your crassula, it will grow awfully inside the studio 😉

[@jackiemclarnon37]

Just amazing! Thanks for the instruction and motivation to ‘let go’ of control.

[@ScottSwinson]

Hi Jackie! It is good to let go but if you are beginning in watercolour I suggest people actually have some structure in their leaning otherwise the whole idea of letting go and just being free can turn to a mess and be no fun, just overwhelming! Thanks for watching. Cheers Scott

[@larryrobins]

I just finished a watercolor of a house appearing out the mist and re-watching your spectacular ‘sailboat in a storm’ video reminded me of multiple things I did ‘wrong’. But the most significant mistake is that I made the house too big. The thing I love about watercolor is the ability to create credible, emotional atmosphere. I got the sky and reflections working pretty well, then I put this too large house in. I’m going to try again with a smaller house and trees. You, Tony Smibert and JMWTurner all keep most of your ‘reality’ details very small, thereby allowing the atmospherics to dominate the painting. Your corrections are also interesting. That slash of light (where the sailboat is) you removed was of particularly instructive. I need to be bolder with corrections. Anyway, thanks again for a brilliant video.

I really love your work. I was wondering, could you do a painting with fog coming across the hills or fog coming in between trees or fog across the water? I live in the San Francisco Bay area and I am having a difficult time trying to create fog. It would be wonderful to see you do this. Many thanks. Many many thanks for your time and energy for these videos. You are a master!!☺️

Hi Den! I think if you want to paint lots of layers as this painting has then 100% cotton paper is needed! 👍👍
