In this video I am attempting to recreate a previous abstract but with a different colour scheme. This is a large (for watercolour) abstract watercolour and I use the spray bottle to create different running lines to create the trees and the branches. I am happy with the result and I'll add some gold leaf in the next few days. I don't think it quite meets the brief though so will probably be doing another one.
I really love the movement of the pigment that would be difficult to paint yourself that occurs with using the spray bottle turned to doing a jet instead of fine spray. It is pretty interesting!

This was painted on a full sheet of Rives BFK etching paper 56cm x 76cm 280gsm white

The colours used were:
Paynes Grey
Alizarin Crimson
Cadmium Red
Cerulean Blue
Winsor Yellow
Cobalt Blue

Then later on some more alizarin crimson flicked on with a tooth brush, paynes grey in the foreground and cadmium yellow in the middle ground.

The brushes used were:
6 inch hake brush
4 inch hake brushes
Rigger brush
Pure Kolinsky Round Sable
Butter Soft Container Lid
Spray bottle
Tooth brush
Tissues
3M magic tape to attach the paper at the top of the board
MDF board to attach the paper to

I will be adding some gold leaf, which I have never done before, any tips welcome! I think that will help add a subject and focal point.

Thanks for watching!

Happy painting!

Cheers

Scott

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)

I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.
