I’m just playing with this. It’s a bit abstract. It’s the Superstition Mountains near Phoenix, Arizona and shows a few saguaro cactus growing in the foreground. Colors: Ultramarine, Teal, Quin Rose, Spring Green, Burnt Sienna, Paynes Grey. Brushes: hake, rigger. #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.

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.

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.

I’ve repainted this scene many times. I first learned it from a tutorial by Allan Kirk “Across the Moor.” In this variation, I’ve depicted a scene from our Kanas prairie, the Flint Hills, which is home to a large number of cattle ranches. Colors: Ultramarine Blue, Scarlet Lake, Hansa, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Green Gold. Brushes: hake, 6, fan, rigger. Enjoy!

I wanted to try a different kind of sky and found this in a tutorial by herendbrush_official on Instagram. After making the sky, I just played. I like small brushes because they help me make texture and the hake because it makes good grassy areas. Colors: Ultramarine Blue, Scarlet Lake, Quin Gold, Raw Sienna. Brushes: hake, 1/4” flat, rigger.

I experimented today. I spritzed the mountain area then used a fan brush to drop in color, tap, and/or slide. After the painting dried, I spritzed it again. Anyway, it was fun, and that’s the point! Colors: Ultramarine Blue, Quin Rose, Burnt Sienna. Brushes: wash, fan, rigger. Enjoy!

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.
