I had my third Watercolor Escape Saturday last weekend on April 4th.  If you are new to this my wife, Marilee and I are committed to broadcasting a Facebook Live every Saturday at noon EST till our lives kinda get back to some type of normal. We want to offer an escape even for an hour or two. 

In this week's blog post I have included the video now on YouTube (edited as a paint-along) and my demo notes. Here's what you will find: 
  • Photo reference
  • The pencil drawing on watercolor paper
  • Supplies
  • Three steps as a paint-along 
I am asking a favor would you please like my Facebook page and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Thank you.

YouTube Video Paint-Along
The Location
This Wisconsin homestead is not far from our log cabin. I took the photo after a long ride in the forest of the Great Northwoods.  We were up for the Christmas holiday and rides are part of our holiday traditions. The two weeks we were there we had snow and cloudy days except the day we came home there was sunny sapphire blue skies!

Because it was overcast in the photo I took artistic licence and brightened up the painting a bit. I also played with the composition. Remember you paint the painting – not the photo.
Sweet Color
​I talked about "sweet color" last Saturday. The diagram below shows four blues I have or currently use. I switched over to manganese blue from cerulean blue several years ago. Manganese and cerulean blue are similar in color but found cerulean was too sweet looking.

Note About Copyright
During this last broadcast of Watercolor Escape Saturdays I was asked about copyright of these paint-alongs. You have the permission to use and paint these reference materials. But you don't have permission to use as a teaching tool to instruct others. In addition, your finished painting cannot be used in an art competition or show. This is solely used as a learning tool.

In My Library
​Here's this week's pick, THE LANDSCAPES - ENHANCED EDITION (newly enhanced edition 1st printing 11-2017) by Richard Schmid. I was fortunate to take a one-day workshop from this American treasure. Now his paintings are mostly in oil but he offers so much information and beautiful paintings.

 Forward by Historian Richard Ormond - Grandnephew of John Singer Sargent 280 pages and 300 color plates This large-format book of Richard Schmid's sixty-five years as a landscape painter, with over 300 color images, has been color enhanced using the latest state of the art printing technology, and further enriched with over 100 new captions, and over a dozen new original drawings in the margins. This is the visual tale of an artist and his life-long romance with the colors and light of our earth. With delightfully candid narrative and over 300 full-color images, Richard reveals what it is like to go out and capture life as it is happening. The reader will discover how landscape painting is unlike any other form of art, and that artistic skill is only one of the many abilities demanded.

You can find his soft-bound book at Amazon.

In Conclusion
That's it for now. I hope we will see you next Saturday at noon EST on my Facebook page for another Watercolor Escape Saturdays. 

Remember leave a comment below, tell me what you think and what you would like to see in the future.

Wash your hands and your brushes,
