Simple Demonstration Painting Clouds and Waves in Watercolor. Minimum of colors. Peter Sheeler

Quick and easy demonstration of clouds and Waves. I've used a minimum of colors and simple techniques.

My demonstrations are done in smaller sizes, allowing the viewer to get in closer to the painting and better see my techniques. These are the same techniques I use on all of my large paintings.

PAPER: Size- 5"x7"
Arches 140lb Hot Press Paper for this Video.

My papers of choice include Arches 140lb Hot press and Cold press paper and Strathmore 500 series Sketchbooks. All are 100% cotton rag.
For beginners, I recommend starting with a high quality paper and experimenting with different types. As your style develops, you'll get a feel for which type is best. Waiting to switch to a better quality paper later will be much like learning to paint all over again.

MY PALETTE: All tube paints!
Winsor Newton- Yellow Ochre, Sepia, Burnt Sienna, Winsor Red, Davy's Gray, Ultramarine, Sap Green.
DaVinci - Phthalo Blue, Quinachridone Fuchsia, Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Cadmium Yellow Deep.
A note on Davy's Gray: I rarely use this pigment straight and when using it I usually mix it with each colour used.

PAINT PALETTE::
The palette is the mixing tray from a "Koi" Watercolour travel set. The colours are set up so the ones I mix together most often are close together.
Some of the paints are squeezed onto slips of paper and then stuck to the palette.
This makes replacing or changing colours quick and easy.

BRUSH: An inexpensive, Polar Flo 1/2 inch Flat
I often use inexpensive brushes because several of my techniques are quite abusive.
Whenever the brush disappears from the screen it is either being wiped off or rinsed.

PEN: The Uni-ball deluxe micron roller ball pen .5mm nib. These pens are extremely waterproof on my papers and can be painted over immediately. The roller ball is almost indestructable and claims to be archival.

TAPE: is just regular painters tape. The easily removable type available in any hardware store.
