Sometimes my painting gets a little dark. I’ve found that using cobalt blue as my primary blue and leaving a lot of white space in the sky lightens things up a bit. Colors: cobalt blue, a little ultramarine, alizarin, raw sienna, burnt sienna, green gold. Brushes: small hake, 6, 2, 1/4” Princeton dagger. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

I like painting with a limited palette: 3 blues (ultramarine, cobalt, cobalt teal), 2 reds (alizarin, and sometimes vermillion), 2 yellows (Hansa, quin gold), 2 earths ( raw sienna, burnt sienna), and green gold. Anyway, here’s my latest. Enjoy! #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

Just having fun today. I did the sweep across the sky using a small hake brush and ultramarine, cobalt teal, and raw sienna. The downward sweep uses ultramarine, raw sienna, and burnt sienna. While the paint was still wet, I added detail with a 2 and a rigger using ultramarine, green gold, and burnt sienna. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

After watching a two color tutorial by Anastasia Mily (YouTube), I created this piece. Colors: ultramarine, raw sienna, and burnt sienna. Brushes: small hake, rigger, plastic card. It was fun, so thank you, Ms. Mily.

I used a variety of brushes on this piece: hake, 8, 4, comb, fan, and rigger. Colors: cobalt blue, ultramarine, Hansa, quin gold, burnt sienna, sap green. The first wash was wet in wet, the second was some detail, and the last was more detail. Enjoy! #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

Today’s fun. I painted the background wet in wet then added the details on dry paper. This time I did adjust my palette: 3 blues, 3 reds, 3 yellows, 3 greens, and 3 earths. #watercolour #watercolor #art #MastoArt

I painted this abstract landscape in three layers. The first was a quick wash, variegated, using a hake brush. When dry, I used a rigger to put in the mountains and foreground rocks. Third, I used a rigger to dot in distant grasses. Colors: Ultramarine, Quin Rose, Light Green, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Paynes Grey. Brushes: hake, rigger. Enjoy! #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

Fun with wet in wet. Again I followed the method I learned from mattangelldesigns on Instagram. Today, I used all M. Graham paints and found they gave me really bright colors, wet in wet. Colors: Ultramarine, Quin Rose, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Soring Green, Paynes Grey. Brushes: hake, rigger. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

I painted this today using three layers of wash. For the first wash, I used a hake; after that I used a rigger. Colors: Ultramarine, Alizarin, Hansa, Green Gold, Burnt Sienna, Paynes Grey. Brushes: hake, rigger. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

More experimentation. The sail consists of two triangles of masking tape, placed using a tweezer. The sandy texture is Raw Sienna and Burnt Sienna shaved onto a wet wash using a nail file. The grasses were carved out of a wet wash using a plastic card. Colors: Ultramarine, Cobalt Teal, Alizarin, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna. Brushes: hake, 6, plastic card. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

2024-04-28 17:00:29

Today’s fun. I’m still using the technique I learned from mattangelldesigns on Instagram. I did a quick background wash using a small hake. When dry, I added details using a small Chinese script brush. Colors: Ultramarine, Alizarin, Rich Green Gold, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Paynes Grey. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

More loose experimentation. Process: A variegated wash in a C or S pattern. Dry. Then add details. Colors: Ultramarine, Alizarin, Raw Sienna, Rich Green Gold, Burnt Sienna, Paynes Grey. Brushes: small hake, rigger. Enjoy! #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

I’m trying a new style, more abstract. This lesson is from mattangelldesigns on Instagram. It was fast and fun. Colors: Ultramarine, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Quin Rose. Brushes: 8, rigger. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

I tried a different sky in this desert scene. I painted a blue triangle then added various colors of clouds to the edges. Colors: Ultramarine Blue, Scarlet Lake, Hansa, Quin Gold, Green Gold, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna. Brushes: quill, rigger. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

Today’s fun. I painted a loose sky/background. After it dried, I planned a scene to go with it. Colors: Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Scarlet Lake, Alizarin, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Green Gold. Brushes: hake, 6, rigger, fan. Enjoy! #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

I experimented with a vertical background on this piece, and of course, it’s more practice with trees and grass. Colors: Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Cobalt Teal, Green Gold, Burnt Sienna. Brushes: wash, 6, comb, rigger. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

This is another quick painting inspired by a short tutorial from katiewhiteartist on Instagram. I wet both sides of the paper then dropped in almost pure color. I tilted the paper a little. Colors: Cobalt Blue, Scarlet Lake, Hansa, Sap Green, Burnt Sienna. Brushes: quill, rigger, plastic card. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

I painted this little scene today and tried mixing colors on the painting itself. That’s easier to see in the background trees, where I painted a line of Ultramarine then dripped Burnt Sienna into it. Colors: Ultramarine, Cobalt Teal, Rich Green Gold, Quin Gold, Burnt Sienna. Brushes: wash, 6, rigger. Anyway, it was fun and I learned something. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

I’ve been fighting with greens so in this picture, I added alizarin. Instead of making pure greens, I made some purples, some grays, some browns and some greens. Colors: Ultramarine, Alizarin, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, and Rich Green Gold. Brushes: hake, 6, 2. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

I painted this farm scene in the style of Edo Hannema, one of my favorite artists. Colors: Cobalt Blue, Alizarin, Quin Gold, Burnt Sienna, Paynes Grey. Brushes: small quill, 6, rigger. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

Here’s my attempt at a tutorial by Edo Hannema “North Holland” on YouTube. It’s my 5th try, and it’s a bit overworked in places, but I learned so much. I couldn’t paint the same way the artist did and ended by changing to lighter colors and fewer brush strokes, so I adapted it, like I do with most tutorials. #watercolor #watercolour #aquarelle #art #landscape

I used my plein air kit to paint this while waiting forever for an appointment. I love lavender and green together. I used tape to separate the sky from the lake, first painting blue, then when dry the mountains and trees, then repeat in the lake and foreground. Colors: Cobalt Blue, Green Gold, Hansa, Alizarin. Brushes: a 6 and a small Chinese script. #watercolor #watercolour #art #landscape

I drove past a few of the many farmers selling produce around here and tried to paint that kind of scene once again. In this version I tried to paint a muted scene in the background and the farm stand itself in the foreground. It’s just an experiment, but it was fun to try. #watercolor #watercolour #landscape #art

Here’s my try at #CuratorClouds. Wet in wet. Phthalo Blue RS, Alizarin, Burnt Sienna. I dropped in some clean water in places then lifted the white clouds with tissue. I’ll finish the foreground later. #Watercolour #Watercolor #Art #Sketchbook #Landscape

#watercolor #watercolour #landscape l’m still enjoying my sketchbooks, but I thought I’d return to my easel. This is a generic composition, an imaginary scene. I like to follow some type of geometric pattern, so this painting is built on three horizontal lines, receding planes. Brushes: 1” hake, a 4, and a rigger. Colors: Cobalt Blue, Quin Gold, Burnt Sienna, and Paynes Grey.

#qtsotdchallenge #watercolor #watercolour I’m playing with my water brush, trying to work on values and gradations. I used a lot of back runs and a lot of lifting because I’m putting too much paint on the paper. I’m learning and all my various experiments are paying off.

#qtsotdchallenge #watercolor #watercolour This is my best doodle of the day. My tube paints proved too powerful, so I switched to half pans. The Pentel water brush made a good wash, and the Tombow worked well for drawing lines and for stippling.

@npub1xsy…cevg That’s a beautiful piece. Thanks for showing your brushes and pens.

I’m just doodling today. I watched a video by Anastasia Mily in which she advocates painting the sky first, seeing what moods it evokes, and then planning your painting from that. Today’s weather was nasty, so I practiced with my sketching kit at home and came up with this. Colors: Cobalt Blue, Cobalt Teal, Quin Rose, Rich Green Gold, Ultramarine. Brushes: no. 1 quill, no. 2 round. The sketchbook is by Tumuarta. #watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt

#watercolor #watercolour #art #MastoArt I painted this house for #MapCrunch20 using only a small rigger. I used the rigger to pre-wet, as a pencil for drawing, on its side for lines, and for scumbling. I painted the truck by painting the windows first.

#watercolor #watercolour #art #landscape #MastoArt I painted this for #MapCrunch20 and to practice painting foliage. I used a no. 6 for the sky, a no. 1 for the trees and land, and very diluted paint. Colors: Ultramarine, 2 yellows, one red. The brown is a mix of green and red.
