The Sunday Art Show - How to paint cows in watercolour

This week I use a simple line and wash technique to paint a herd of cows in watercolour. Each cow is outlined using watercolor marker pen, then a clean damp brush is used to create areas of tone.

The Sunday Art Show - Sheep and Lamb Painting

Posting this a day late due to a visit to Buckingham Palace, but the video did go up on Sunday (just) as usual :-) This week I paint an impressionism style flock of sheep and lambs using Atelier interactive acrylic paint in real time.

The Sunday Art Show - Twenty Minute Cow Painting

This week, it's a cow painting completed in about 20 minutes using interactive acrylic paint. Featuring a more subdued than usual colour palette, I move the paint around with brushes as normal but also use some paper towel to cover areas with soft variations of tone. If you'd like to zoom in on the brushwork of the high resolution version, then you can do so here

The Sunday Art Show - En plein air seascape - Sea Fret at Fistral

This week, I do a quick en plein air painting of a misty morning at the beach. Using Atelier interactive acrylics, working in the open air, I watch the waves roll in at Fistral Beach and paint the subtle colours in the morning mist over the water. This is just a quick study but captures some of the atmosphere of being at Fistral beach when there's a sea fret. See the hi-res pic here

The Sunday Art Show - Sheep head painting tutorial

This week, I go through a real-time acrylic painting of a sheep looking straight at you, mainly focusing on the head of the sheep. This time, I painted using a textural, impressionist style and also included a background landscape. If you want to get a closer look at the brush work, you can see the hi-res version of the painting here.
