When I'm in a Landscape Drawing Mood, THIS is a Favorite Technique.
I often just want to pick up a pen and draw landscape. This is a favorite way to do that.

You are by far my most favorite watercolorist artist.
I wanna draw like you, I'm a sketcher, people often tell me my sketches are so realistic for my young age 11 without classes, -but sometimes I just like this type of aesthetic, it's amazing.
I would do it in a caffe when it's easy going, used to be a waiter there, would just splash some coffe on a paper, later on would be doing ink over, I think it was Uni pen, and it was so relaxing as I ak quitte imaginative and I love not having direction and just creating. First 3, 4 lines, already see a shape, then see where it takes me, sometimes landscape, people, portrait, sometimes scenes without any colleration inbetween, just bunch of stuff on one paper.. loved it and still doing it often
Very nice indeed. 💗
Thank you for info on Strathmore workshop. Spontaneous painting is a real stretch for me and I look forward to your workshop.
Wow never seen anything like this.. I want to give it a try
I've done several of these types of pieces over the years Steve, all inspired by your guidance. I always have fun doing them..... It forces me to work on my drawing skill, which is my biggest art weakness.
it is daunting! and lovely.
BRO IS TALENTED!!!! AYYY
Thank you for great video love technique ❤
Thanks I learned alot
Very pretty.
Hi 🧠.. thanks for sharing 😎
Looks like fun going to do thanks
I saw a hint of a city park with some buildings or apartments in the very back vertical stripes. Guess I’ll do it myself and hope I can get something close to being as nice as this session is.
Amazing!
You definitely gave me some ideas, and I really want one of those pens! I have Microns and brush pens I can use for now.
Really nice work. I like it a lot
This is the first time I have seen this line over wash technique, but I really like it. TY for sharing
Everything you do is beautiful, I've learned so much over the years of watching you, it's been such a joy. I'm mostly home bound so I don't get out anymore to observe nature, but I look at photos and other sources as well as what I have retained in memory. Thank you so very much for every lesson, at first I was truly horrible at it, but I kept at it, today I'm not nearly as good as you but I have fun doing each and every one of the spontaneous paintings. I like it that you brought in these geometric shapes, I've always been drawn to them. It is with great appreciation and gratitude to you for keeping me going in my most loved art form.
I have been in such a slump but this looks like fun…..thanks for your wonderful instructions….love it👍
Easiest ways of watercolour paint to beautiful results.... Thanks for shared your great techniques 🙏
I like fountain pen drawing. I have gained some inspiration from your demonstration. Using different colours in,inks is one. Nice picture. Thankyou
So amazing 😊❤❤❤.
HOLY FREAKING GUACAMOLE THIS AMAZING
I've never seen this sort of reverse technique, it really inspires as a new thing to try. Thanks Steve.
Sooo good!
I have been doing these with you for many years! Thanks for your great lessons Steve!
Siiiiiggggghhhhh.............I just LOVE watching you create like this.....:)xxx
I love your style of teaching, with your relaxed lighthearted humor! It fits what I feel watercolors are all about. The spontaneity of this style of your painting goes right along with the transparency of watercolors and sometimes unexpected surprises. Thank you for this inspirational painting, while the colors of Spring are exploding around us😃!
Fantastic
Love the ink pen added. Want to see more of these. Very beautiful... Thanks
Thoroughly enjoyed this, and vey happy you appeared in my feed today.
Just signed up for your workshop! Can't wait!
Thank You for sharing. I have always penned first. I love your wash first ink the wash. Too Cool.
brilliant...!
You have me hooked on this way off painting. I love pen and ink. I love paint down blobs and seeing where it takes me.
New to your channel. I love your humble manner. I find it very inviting as a learning.
Beautiful technique inseed. The finished painting looks beautiful. I learnt a new technique and just cannot wait to try this method of random wash and creating a art with the pen. Thank you Sir.🙏🙏🙏
I’m going to try this today. I’m plein air painting this weekend in a park & plan to try this as a way to ease into watercolor landscapes. Thx, Steve!
I just watched a ART ATTACK,Gonna have to try this with Car art..Thanks Steve, Inspiration Is Always Present when You are around.
My favorite! Thank you for demonstrating more of this technique. 🖌🖋
That’s astonishing! What a good idea. Thank you 🍻
I think your work is the most exquisite I have ever seen. You really do know how to work the water! Just stunning!
I haven’t seen one of your spontaneous paint and ink paintings in quite a while and it seems to me that you have added some more types of lines and squiggles to your vocabulary. Beautiful as always. ❤
True. Thats what I love spontaneous painting for. Trying new things.
It looks so much of the trails I’ve been on. Inspired by this to get the pens out. Thank you
A beautiful piece created from nothing but imagination!
Wow!!! I love this video. I can hardly wait to try this. I think it will really help me loosen up and become more spontaneous. Thank-you!
I just did a couple and it was great fun! It's amazing how it turns into something quite pleasing!
I have always been fascinated by this technique. After watching your super tutorial, I may just give it a try, thank you 😀
🫡Awesome work! Great job!👏
Love the tune Mountain Air
That was a super enjoyable start to my day. I better get out of bed and give it a try. Thanks and best wishes from Scotland.
I love watching your lessons! Beautiful, pleasant, useful, and it is also a real relaxation! Thanks a lot!
Very relaxing to watch you work your jedi magic.😊🙏
Now that was inspiring. Thank you!
I love doing this. I, too, smear around too much paint. The best ones are the most simple. I am a drawer first and a watercolorist second. I always say that this technique is like laying on your back in the grass and "making" pictures from the clouds! Thank you for doing this. It is always an inspiration.
That is a most accurate description. I think that will help me try this. I've been watching and I haven't yet had the courage to start. But that way of looking at it, is going to help me tremendously. I tole paint, but watercolor is a completely different thing. I want to learn it though.
rcarda2063, hello rcarda, I have done many things in the Art field, I also used to do Tole Painting as well as oil and acrylics, but watercolor is my first love. Don't ever be afraid to try something new, look at like a grand adventure that it is, it's only paper and some paint. Your life will be much richer if you look at it as an adventure. If you don't like what you painted just turn the paper over and try again. Your not wasting anything, your developing your art form. Stick with even if your not good at first it will improve as you move along. One more little hint, if you absolutely hate what you painted, just make an Art Prompt from that painting, Punch or cut out shapes from sections of that art and on the back write out different paint palette colors for your next adventure, try colors you've never tried before, but on the back of these little shapes such as hearts, squares, etc. Wright a subject you never painted before, a color palette you never tried before, try painting on a cradle board mounted with your watercolor on it. Just have a lot of fun and go for it, all your losing is your fear!😊
Thank you for sharing. It's absolutely inspiring.
Well, I’ll give it my best,,,, here goes 😊
Thanks Steve. I always feel happy & inspired after watching your videos 😊💕
I love doing a similar thing too! I get underpainting done with washes and then search for stuff in it. It is indeed the perfect way to loosen up and find joy in seeing what appears. I am soooo looking forward to your workshop with Strathmore. Thank you for all the amazing videos here as well! 💖
Great video! I do want to get better at “scribble art” because there is a definite technique to it. I’ll be watching 👀🎨🎨
This looks so fun. I have a new fountain pen, so am going to give this a try. It seems like it would be a great way to start when you don’t know where to begin. Thanks for sharing! Also thanks for sharing the quotes. I enjoy those too.
This is so inspiring, Steve - thank so much for sharing these precious tips and techniques! Can’t wait to give it a go…
I like! You have inspired me, as usual.
I love these wonderful landscapes!
Thanks so much Lindsay!
It almost looks like there is a path in the right lower corner that splits into two.Beautiful! Looking forward to Strathmore class!
These are just Beautiful!
Found you today, first time watching your art lesson. So pleased as it’s given me inspiration and I’ll be looking more with interest as I take my walks in nature, thanks Steve 🎨🌳👍
Nice new subscriber here!
My favorite way to sketch outdoors and when away from home. Use one of the many colors of waterproof inks for my fountain pens from Diatramentis.
Uhhh!! So beautiful!! 😍😍😍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Wow that’s a great technique to use. I might be more interested in trying this technique since I am trying to get a bit looser in my style some this week. Thanks for sharing this video & I am looking forward to the Strathmore workshop! 💕
Thank you. I love ink… it takes me back to grade school
wow....... very amazingly done...... loved it
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes! I've been doodling with ink and now I want to give this method a try. I have a sample vial of Lexington Gray... it's on my wish list for a bottle, but now I'm committed to getting a bottle. Thanks for inspiring us, Steve. ❤
Thanks for another informative video and emphasizing the importance of values (one of my weaknesses when I started out!). I appreciate the videos you have done over the years and always look forward to them. You present them is a professional and fun way. The line wash is cool and so is Reese!
Love these!!! 🤩💖💝
Enjoyed this very much.
Nice! love your art and your tips thank you!
I love this idea!
I like to do this technique with colored pencils instead of ink as well.
Very interesting and a great artist you are. In the middle of the picture , the darker green, I see a man walking. After seeing him It was hard to see the trees. You painted beautifully. 🙂 I guess he could be tending to the bushes!!!
Your spontaneous landscapes are what inspired me to get back to my artistic roots several years ago Steve. When it comes to wash and line I like to use light pencil and then move to ink work. I’m hoping one day to have the confidence to go with ink only but until then these are great fun. Thanks for the inspiration!
I enjoyed this exercise with random washes! As your penwork continued, I thought you might make the vertical broad color strokes in the background into sky scrapers in the distance--reminded me of a scene in Central Park, NYC!
Fantabulous ‼️‼️‼️
Beautiful!!!!!!!
This is so good, I just discovered your content. Thank you very much for inspiration!
I really enjoyed this! Very inspiring ❤
Peter Rules….erm, Draws!
This is terrific and just what I needed to see! I want to go out and just do some simple sketching and painting, but I couldn’t figure out how to go about it in a very simple way. This is perfect and looks like a lot of fun, not the stress of trying to put together a whole picture. Thanks!
Love your work. Such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing this channel!
Intriguing! Must try! ❤
I love this!!!!😊
Steve, love your style with pen & ink. So inspiring.
This !looks like such fun, can't wait to try this technique! Thanks for sharing and inspiring! You are my favourite YT artist
Inspiring… thanks for your time and effort!,😊
Love when you do this technique, think it was because it was the third or fourth video I saw of yours. Haven’t done this in a year or maybe more, loved doing my favourite one was when you did the trees on the lake, or something like this, I tried had me water bottle going, loads of fun. Then the next day it was time to ink, um mine so didn’t look anything like yours, I went bugger and just let the imagination run away, ended up with hot air balloons in the air, walk ways with people on, dragons fighting, lock ness monster and a mermaid just to name a few, such fun. Think I might sit down this afternoon and splatter and have a little fun, see we’re this water colour journey takes me this time. Thanks for the inspiration and another fun watch or should I be thanking Reece? Naaaa I know it’s all you Steve.
Do to my limited time up, ( out of bed) i am wondering if i would be able to do this...i am going to try...therecwill be plenty of druying time between paint and pen.
Have you seen the reverse coloring books? A sort of gimmick some artists are trying. It's a book that has the colors in it and you add the lines. Some stick to black lines, others use colors snd add more color shaoes. I guess its easy enough to make yoyr own starting spot
Yes, not seen a lot about them but I’m a bit familiar.
