Watercolour Tutorial - Spring Meadow

/ adrianhomersham A loose watercolour tutorial by Adrian Homersham. This demonstration uses wet into wet techniques to create a simple expression of a spring meadow.
Full details of all the equipment used are included in the video description below:
Hake Brush
This is a goat haired brush that has been used for centuries in both China and Japan. It is very versatile and can be used to apply large washes of pigment and to create loose textured areas; a great for loose wet into wet watercolours. The ones I use are Pro Arte Ron Ranson branded brushes. I find these shed hairs far less than cheaper alternatives. It’s useful to have these in a range of sizes and they can be purchased as a set of 4, please see link below:

Goat Haired Calligraphy Brush
The brush used in this demonstration was purchased from Jackson’s Art. I regularly use the Large and Medium sizes of this brush. Please see link below:

Paint
I use a variety of paint brands including Daniel Smith and Windsor & Newton in both the Cotman and Artist’s range. The Cotman colours are very economic to purchase and are used by both students and professional artists including Sophie Knight RWS. Colours used Cotman Burnt Sienna, Raw Sienna and Gamboge Hue. Windsor & Newton Artists Alizarin Crimson and Indigo. Cotman Watercolours www.jacksonsart.com/search/?q...
Paper Fabriano Artistico The paper used for this demonstration was Fabriano Artistico EW 140lb NOT. This is a 100% cotton rag paper with a beautiful bright white surface that aids the creation of vibrant translucent watercolours. www.jacksonsart.com/search/?q...
Palette Manufactured by Stewart these are very light and strong. The large open mixing area encourages loose expressive colour mixing. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...

Every time I watch one of your videos I get about halfway through and think, that's it. Then you add more colour or splatter, and I think, that's it. No, then you add something else and it's even more brilliant than before. Amazing. Just love it. You make it look so easy.

Beautiful painting. Thank you for the video. You have such a light touch with the brushes and it creates such distinctive shapes and colors.

[@adrianhomersham8544]

Thank you so much, I find the trick is to try and let the wet paint do as much work as possible and to try whenever possible to include strong tonal contrasts and pairs of complementary colours, in this case the deep purple trees against the yellows in the meadow.

Quelle fraîcheur, quelle délicatesse et...quel dynamique du geste, avec des couleurs subtiles. Merci de cette belle vidéo.

Inspire me so much freedom & skill, wish I will allow myself to go on this road, thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you so much for viewing. I find painting this way very liberating as it allows you to fully enjoy the abstract qualities washes of paint create without worrying about having to form precise figurative images.
