I’m glad to see a long watercolor video again! I don’t think it was too long at all, it even seemed to be over in no time. I guess because so many different kinds of problems were dealt with. Like: this year I tried to paint rocks like that at the North Sea and they never turned out right. Now I wonder if I should have made the shadows under them darker instead of painting reflections on the water. Also the idea of using a watercolor pencil for the edges never occured to me and I can’t wait to try it out.
Last time you painted a similar painting I saw you used a mix of blue and burnt sienna for the water and THAT solved another problem of mine! I never seemed to get the color of the North Sea right, it always turned out too blue, even if I used Prussian Blue. After giving the ultramarine/ bt. sienna mix a chance I realized the North Sea IS more of a brownish gray and NOT blue!
I’m looking forward to seeing more „long videos“! How could they ever be too long?!
Have a nice day!
