Love how this turned out Steve. It reminds me of the walk up through the rhododendrons to Craggy Pinnacle on the Blue Ridge Parkway! I really like using the Schmincke granulating paints for the texture they bring. The color separation in Desert Green is just lovely. Thanks for sharing with us...

this may be one of my Favorite paintings youve done! The choice to backlight the trees near the end totally caught me off guard, blew my mind, freakin genius. And the rugged stone looking steps that you seemlessly popped into being at the end. How everything came together..... genuinely made me a bit emotional not gonna lie. Makes me feel like its an illustration for some symbolic journey, the crest on that hill, the light or fog (or light shining through fog!) behind the tress and the supposed crest of the hill. promising something wonderful on the other side, yet mysterious. and you can never trust how the lay of the land in hills works so it may just be an illusion after-all, when you cross that crest it could be a further winding path climbing higher... LOVE IT also really kinda want/need that set of Shire super granulating colours now haha.....

Hullo Steve, I first started learning watercolor painting from my Gran, she got me going at just 10 years old. Now she only taught me the traditional methods and ONLY them! I remember asking her if I could get some white paint and she said real watercolor painters never used white paint! When I wanted to learn about anything new I would have to go to the library and look at books or just try to figure it out by myself just by getting my paints and paper out and trying! Very much like this video! Thank you for sharing your ideas and techniques with us! Very beautifully done!

That’s the purists approach but it’s far from a universal practice. John Singer Sargent and Winslow Homer both used white in their watercolors.

Gorgeous! I also bought the Shire set from Schmincke, and augmented it with a brown (I chose Desert), then also Desert Orange and Glacier Pink. When you started applying the Shire Yellow with a palette knife, I thought "smart man" - maybe it's just my box of paints, but for me the Shire Yellow had really low tint strength: the lowest of any paint I've had. I've been trying to make my own "super granulating" yellow mix and that has been fun! Srsly Steve, I think you are the MoW Alchemist!😊
