Winter Trees and Water Watercolour Tutorial

/ adrianhomersham for lots of exclusive watercolour tutorials
A loose watercolour tutorial by Adrian Homersham. This demonstration uses wet into wet techniques to create a loose expressive winter landscape.
Full details of all the equipment used are included in the video description below:
Brushes
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: www.jacksonsart.com/jas-chine...
Rigger
Da Vinci Casaneo Synthetic Watercolour Brush great for creating fine straight lines within a watercolour.

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 Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine, Alizarin Crimson, Gamboge Hue.

Paper Bockingford
The paper used for this demonstration was Bockingford 140lb NOT. This is a 50% cotton rag paper with a clean white surface. I find Bockingford is a wonderful paper to use when I wish to create granulated effects in my paintings.

Palette
Manufactured by Stewart these are very light and strong. The large open mixing area encourages loose expressive colour mixing.

Hi Adrian, I love your way of painting and am interested in your Patreon site, do you speak n the videos you create? I do find being able to listen to someone's thoughts as they paint, very helpful!

[@adrianhomersham8544]

Hi John thanks for your positive feedback. In answer to your question yes all my Patreon Videos have vocal commentaries rather than text and music. My Patreon is also supported by a community FaceBook group allowing members to share work and receive feedback and encouragement. Thanks again for your interest.
