Hello, I'm Larry Hamilton. Welcome to my YouTube painting channel. Thank you for watching.
Today we're going to do a watercolor painting that will be basically just for YouTube visitors
and not related to any particular watercolor class that I'll be teaching
but I thought it's time to do another watercolor and put it on YouTube
So we're going to do a winter scene. It's very cold where I'm living here
and a lot of winter, a lot of snow and a lot of cold weather
and so I was driving by a wooded area the other day
that sort of has some streams in it that feed into a reservoir that we have nearby
and I took a photograph that you may see at the top of my easel here
and it's just a wooded area that has some snow banks and a lot of trees
and kind of feeds into this stream that feeds into a reservoir
So we're going to do that today as a winter scene and hope you like it
We're going to do a watercolor on 11 by 14 Fabriano Artistico paper
I'm using a 300-pound cold-pressed paper today
I'm using the brushes that I have shown you in the intro to this video from Sterling Edwards
as well as the paints that are from My Merry Blue
Very beautiful transparent watercolor paints
I'll go through those in a second
but I want to just let you know that I have got the photo at the top of my easel here
I also have a value map that I've done of the painting
to try to help me keep the values in check
so that I have at least three values
a light value, a mid value and a dark value
and I'll try to adhere to that during the painting process
and I also have completed my sketch
I'll zoom in so you can see that
Hopefully it's viewable on the video
And with that I think that's all I wanted to say
Other than I'll go through the paints very quickly here for you
And we'll get started
The paints around the palette here are
Neutral Tint, Cyan Blue, Ultramarine Blue, Ultramarine Violet
Crimson Lake, Garnet Lake, Cadmium Red, Burnt Sienna
Raw Sienna and Yellow Ochre
Cupric Green, Golden Lake, Limon Yellow and Primary Yellow
On the inside row is Burnt Umber, Sap Green, Auvignon Orange
Primary Red Magenta and Stilted Green Brown
So these are the colors from my Mary Blue
That I like to use on my
Some of my more professional paintings I guess you would call it
And these are paints that are not
Student quality, these are artist quality paints
So they're a little more expensive
But I find that they make very good
Wonderful paintings and the transparency is
Fantastic on them
So to get started I'm going to
Wet the top of this paper here
I have it mounted on a
Fiber board that I have varnished
It's just taped down with masking tape
And nothing else
I have not pre-stretched it either
It's basically as it came
Right out of the package
So there's some sizing on it
And I'm going to put some water up here
Very lightly
To sort of start loosening the
Soaking the paper
The background in the photograph
Is really pretty drab and gray
As many of the days have been
In this area of Indiana where I live
We've had a lot of snow, a lot of cold weather
As have many parts of the United States
This winter
Where you live it may not be
As cold as this right now
Particularly my friends in Australia
I know they're having their summer
But here it's very cold, very wintry
So we will work on the winter scene
Just enough water to wet the paper
I'm using one of the
Edwards Blending Brushes
A big one-inch bristle brush
Which are unique for watercolor painting
Most watercolor painters use
Either a synthetic brush
Or a brush that has animal fur
Or animal hair like sable
Anyway, let's see how that looks
OK, we're going to start with some
Sort of a lavender color here
Having a throat problem
Already here this morning
A little ultramarine blue
A little violet, a little blue
Cool blue, cool violet
And we'll just start up here
Putting in some nice colors into these
Up here, let me get a touch of
Red, alizarin type
Crimson, warm it up a little bit
A little more blue over here
It's running, but that's OK
I paint vertically
Which is also a little bit unusual
But I like to be able to video this
Without a lot of difficulty
Without having overhead cameras
And that sort of thing
Since I do it in my art studio
Do get a little bit of running
But that's not too much trouble
But we'll work with it
A little bit of alizarin down here
Maybe warm it up just a bit
Leave some room around these trees, branches
Something like that
OK, take it all the way down here
To this edge of the water
Down here in the background
Change the color a little bit
Something like that
So I haven't masked these trees off
I'm just painting around them
And hopefully we'll get
Some nice color in there
OK, let's stop and get back
And look at that
I have an interesting square up here
I don't like, so I'm going to
See if I can modify that a little bit
There we go
OK, soft edges as much as possible here
OK, let that set for a second
As it dries off
One thing about skies
You don't want to keep going
Back into these skies
And doing a lot of work
Because the more you go into the sky
The more you have a potential of
Causing back runs
And really messing up the painting
So I try to stay out of the sky
Once I put the first wash on if I can
I know other artists do that
We'll go back into the sky many times
But I don't particularly like to do that
I have, and I have
Received some interesting problems
Out of doing that
I'm mixing up a little bit of burnt sienna
Here on my palette
If I mix it with the ultra blue
I get a gray
As you can see here
So the ultramarine blue
And burnt sienna together
Give me a gray
And I can make it gray to the red side
If I put more burnt sienna in it
Or I can make it more to the blue side
If I put more blue in it
So I've got a lot of trees
Floating around here in the distance
I think this is still pretty wet probably
But I want some soft trees
Like right in here
So I'm just using this brush
And sort of pushing up
Letting the water go where it will
Mixture of grays and browns
Trees as they would be in the winter time
Keep from getting too close to this tree here
But over here we have some trees
A lot of trees in this area
I'm using the edge of the brush
And just sort of hitting it very lightly
Change the color
Add some little darker
As the trees come forward
They actually get more distinct
You can actually see the colors more
That's called atmospheric perspective
Okay, over here
Picking around a couple of trees
This is all being done
With this big bristle brush
Okay, how's that looking
Looking like it's a woods back there
All right, so
Put a few more darks in some spots
Gradually picking up a little more
Some more water in my palette
If you make it all gray
Gray sky and gray woods
It's not a very pretty picture
So I'm going to try to
Mix it up a little bit
Now I'm putting water paint
On top of that
And I'm going to get
Some blossoms in there
It may look okay
But maybe I don't want those either
Got some rough texture here
Some very nice rough edges
You put water from a brush
On top of the wet painting
That's what makes these blossoms
And actually the water starts running
Pushing the paint around
Okay, I have
Now that's going to need
Some time to dry
So I think while that's drying
I'm going to come down in the foreground
Start working a little bit
In the foreground
Pick up some of this lavender color
Way too much crimson
Snow will have every kind of color in it
You can imagine actually
Now this paper is dried out here
So I'm going to kind of
See if I can outline
A little bit of the snow areas
In the foreground here
I have a stream
That kind of cuts in here
That I want to leave room for
I think I just painted
Into the stream a little bit
But we'll fix that
So this is all snow covered back here
I'll use some white paper
Here and there
Try to mix up the colors a little bit
So far I've only used
Three colors
Ultra blue, crimson lake
And burnt sienna
Back in the back
We've got some more back here
More snow
Different colors reflecting on it
So I'm painting around trees
Painting around the stream and the creek
All right
So you should be able to see
Trees, creek, background
Yes
Very light, very light
Soften up some edges
This brush is great for softening edges
Because it has bristle
You can just kind of scrub edges right out
And just blend them right together
Okay
See, I think I'll change brushes now
And get me a flat
Either a one half or a three quarter
Let's try the half inch here
All right, now these trees
Some of these trees are sycamores
And they have a
Sort of a grayish undertone to them
And where the bark has fallen off
And where the bark is on
They have a dark, dark brown
So I'll see if I can get
Just maybe a little Payne's gray in here
Or neutral tint in this case
Mix it with what I got on the palette
And just see if I can lay in a few
I'm just touching the edge of the brush
Painting down
I'll put some more dark on top of that
But let's go hit some more
Of these other trees here
Okay
So these trees are going to have
A little bit of sun
Trying to have the sun
Sort of coming from the left
If I can remember that
Trying to make my shadow
Slide on the right
See how it just runs
Right down there
Okay
There are a lot of trees
In this background
The background is still
Just a little wet
You can put the back of your hand
The back of your finger
On the paper
And it feels cold, cool
That means there's still water in it
And it's not dry yet
So stay away from that for a while
Let that dry, dry off a little more
See if I can pick up a little
Some brown here
I'll get my stilda green brown
Very beautiful transparent brown
And we'll start in here
With this big tree
And we need a little more water
So let's just pull it down like this
If you dampen it with water
And then put the paint on afterwards
Or even put the paint on first
Like I did there
You'll get some nice
Sort of rounded edges
That start looking like
The tree is rounded
Something like that
So we're getting some
All I'm using is a flat brush here
I'll come back with my finer brushes in a bit
And put in some more
Fine details in here
But right now I just want to get these
Basic tree shapes in
Just flat brush
So far I have not used a round brush
Step back, look at it
Let's see if it's looking okay
Got to get back away from your paintings
Some areas back here
Could use some more dark
Don't want it to be as dark
As that tree in front of it
But I'm going to put some more
Tree-like elements back here
Same with this area here
Darken it up just a little
Another layer
Every time you do this
You put another layer of paint on the paper
As it starts to dry
You can put another layer on
And it makes more depth in the painting
If you're painting around trees
Try to make the same color
Come out on the other side
That you went in this side with
That way it looks like it belongs there
Okay
Take the brush and just sort of pull up
Get some interesting shapes
And if the paper is the right amount of dryness
You can take one of these scrapers
At the end of your brush
And pull in some marks like that
And you can't see it
That's because the paper is probably too dry
Here, maybe it'll work
If the paper is too wet
It'll run back in
If it's too dry, you won't see it
If you get it just right
You'll be able to scrape out
Some of that color
And leave some white tree trunks or branches
In there
And if that doesn't work
We can always go back over it
With our small brush
Put some more trees in
Make some of these go up above here
Like this
You push up and you get this
You see the paper texture
It's called dry brush
Even though there's water in the brush
When you push it, it leaves a...
It skips across the paper
And it makes a very nice texture
That's called dry brush effect
OK, I don't want to overwork that too much
Put a few more browns over here on this side
Just to tie the thing together
There we go
Gray and brown
All right
So we have another layer in there
Looks like a lot of trees
That's what we're trying for
All right
Now, this area
Where the stream is back there
We'll try to get that very dark
One way to get dark
Very dark is to use a very dark green
Like a viridian
I have cupric green in my palette
Which is a very dark staining color
And I have crimson lake
Which is almost like alizarin crimson
Those two colors together
Will give me a very dark near black
And if you want it to have some red in it
You can put more crimson in it
If you want to have more green in it
You put more of your green color
Whatever color you're using
So back here we've got this very dark
Stream running back here
In snow, in winter time
Streams, water
Most of the time looks very dark
In the photograph it actually is
It's dark, it's almost black
The photograph will only print
Very dark colors and it makes them black
Which is not always great
But you have to try to temper that
With your artistic license
And don't make them totally black
All the way over to this tree
I may have another tree go through there
I'll leave a little spot in case I do
Tree right here that's going to go through
Couple of trees
All right
That's the far distant part of that stream
And now we're going to start bringing it forward
And we'll probably add some more colors to it
To change it as it comes forward
Over this way
Soften it up a little bit here
Soft edges by just putting some water on top
Okay
Stream is coming around this way
No room for the snow that we're going to put on top
We're going to put a little gray bank around there
Okay
We have water coming from this side as well
Okay
Run it off there, run it over here
Got water running this way
All sort of merges right in there
Okay
Okay, that's enough
Let me get some of this black out of my palette here
If I need black again, I'll go mix it up
But I don't want that to pollute the rest of my colors
Particularly my white or grays for shadows
Clean this
Okay
All right
More trees here
I'm going to go back and get me some more stilted green brown
Get me some of my blue, ultra blue
Ultra blue and stilted green brown will make a gray
And we'll try to put in some more trees here
Trees like that
Blend them into the ground
Blend them into the ground with soft water
With soft edges rather with water, adding water
All of a sudden we've got trees that look like they're
Fully connected here
Clear water, smooth it out
Okay
Pick up a few more colors and get some browns
Restate a few of these over here
These trees have to stand out from the background
I did make the background a little darker
So I can make the trees a little darker
Go back, get some clear water
Touch the bottoms, sort of blend it together
If you don't do this, they look like they've been glued on
Okay
These sycamore trees have a lot of bark on them
Falling off
Spotted that they have a gray underneath
Back to my tree on the left side and see how these look
I'm going to put a little more color in some of them
Still a little wet
Let's just run this up like this
We've got some more trees that sort of stick up like this
Just kind of soften it, pull it together
All right
Looking pretty decent
Take a lot of the foliage out of this
There's not a lot of
Not nearly as many trees in this painting
As there are in the photograph
That's by design
Because I don't want to repaint the photograph
I want to give you the impression
Of a lot of trees
But I don't want to paint them all
Let's see here if this is going to
Put in some darker shadows here in the snow
Usually a little lip on top of this
Comes down by the bank
A little shadow there is here
Around the stream
Some in here
Okay
Over here there's a few I don't know
So if we put in some
Dark shadows here and there
Start getting some
Areas that look like it's got some shadow in it
From trees or from whatever
Over here we got some
All right
Okay step back look at it
Okay now I'm going to
I'm going to get out my
My round brushes
Probably my rigger
Get a fine rigger brush
Pick up some of these browns
I'm going to start putting in
Some more details here
Like back here in the back
Take these colors and mix them up
Put in some fine branches here
Over here let's see
Get some darker colors maybe
In this one that's closer
Put in heavy branches here
The brush I'm using for this is a rigger
But it's not a Sterling Edwards rigger
This is American Painter
Number 4050 script liner
Has very very fine bristles
So I'm just going to fill this in
This tree is the closest
I'm going to see more branches from it
Than any other one
Okay there's a lot in there
Let's come back and see
If we can tie some of these in
So they don't look like they're glued on
Just merge it together
Pull it down
Okay something like that
This tree needs to be a little darker
Same here
I think we're going to put in
A tree here like this
Soften its trunk
This trunk over here is
Quite as soft as I'd like it
Let's put a little water in there
Okay step back
Take a look
Okay now
Not a whole lot left to do
On this painting really
It's looking like a nice winter scene
I'm going to put some tree branches
There are actually some branches
On the top of this painting
That sort of come down
From this way
So let's put those in now
I want to come back and
Use one of my brushes
That I can get some soft
Almost dry brush
I'm going to get some of this
Still green brown
In my flat brush
Kind of touch the bottom
To get the water out of it
As much as possible
And then the top up here
We're just going to
Sort of brush in some
Very loose
Just laying it on the paper
So there's just a little bit of
Looks like there's
Just a little bit coming off
If you lay it almost
Flat on the paper
You end up with this
Nice like that
Okay
I have a few out here
In these trees
We'll just touch those up
More dry brush
Probably hard to see
But up close
It looks pretty decent
Like that
These are trees that haven't
Lost all their leaves yet
And to match the color
Of the other tree over there
I'm going to get some of this
Grayish blue color
I've got in here
And sort of do a similar thing
On these other trees over here
Take the water out of the bottom
Of the brush
With the paper towel
And then it leaves you
A very dry
As dry as you can get it
For watercolor I should say
Some rough texture here
Okay
I'll put a few things in
Maybe there's some
A lot of weeds and sticks
And stuff growing over here
Let's put in some
Using our brush
We can just sort of
Flick up like this
Do the same thing
When we do oil paintings
Take a brush
And just sort of flick up like that
And you end up with
Beautiful little things
That look like weeds
And all kinds of stuff in here
But if you go over it
Three or four times
You lose it
So if you hit it once
And leave it alone
You're in pretty good shape
So something like this
That's what I want to show
Maybe put a few more
Little trees in there
Get my rigor out again
Little gray
There's a lot of little bushes
And stuff floating around here
Let's put a few more things in
So I'm just taking
A little darker color
Adding some blue
And still the green brown
And ultra blue
Putting in a few more trees
And vertical things here
That kind of tend to grow
In these areas
Small trees
That haven't got their start yet
But they're drying
Maybe a few over here
On this tree
They've pretty much
Lost their leaves
And you can just flick up
Some things like this
To sort of finish it off
Tie things together
I think that's
Maybe about all I want to do here
Try just to
See if there's a little more shadow here
In some areas
Got to know when to stop
When to stop
All right, get back
Look at that
Hasn't taken us an hour
60 minutes, a little less
And we have a nice winter painting
With a stream in there
It's warm
Because it's got browns in it
Got some reds in it
And violets
I think that's all I want to do
On this painting
So I'll zoom back and say
Hope you try this painting
Thank you for watching
And until I see you again
This is Larry Hamilton
saying so long for now
