More Rustic Building Invention. Line and Wash Watercolor Sketch.

Love Love Love and the scripture at the end was the icing on the cake.. Subscribed!

Cool

Enjoyed watching you paint this. I followed Ian's work when I was on Instagram and really loved his creativity.

Awesome!

Great sketching and watercolor 😊

I love the old rustic and this type of inventive stuff. I watched your video on the old barns and buildings where you said they were popular in the 70s. I didn't know they had gone out of popularity. I was graduating High School in late 70s.

fantastenjoyed this very much

Lovely. Was reminded of Peter Sheeler.
I'm illustrating a bunch of birds for a friend's book. Your tip about balancing rendering is one to remember. I tend to over render in both the ink and paint phases. Going to dial back on one or the other (depending on the subject). Thanks for the tip. Been wondering for a while now why some birds turn out well, when others don't and I think you've solved it 😆 thanks.
I started doing WC about 4 or 5 years ago and learned mostly through your channel. Now it's one of my favourite mediums! Thanks, Steve.

I came for the lovable wonky buildings cause who doesn't want to do that? After years in engineering design, it is so hard to just let it go. I stayed for the rocks. Incredible. Another thing I struggle to randomize but you make it look so easy! I call my rock piles cannonballs and guinea pigs.

I like it when you introduce other artists techniques. Have you considered a video on studying/ copying the masters? Whatever you try, it always is super interesting and easy to understand.

This is just wonderful, a pure joy to watch the process!

Every time the world seems to go crazy I know I can watch you or Smoothie77 and block it all out. Thanks for sharing I love this and all your spontaneous work.

Help! I can't find your link for the Levinson (sp) brush. Your whimsical painting is wonderful!! Thank you!

More..more!! My favorite artist for this style is Ian Fennelly…

Fantastic! 🙏🏻❤️

I think I got scanned. I was told I won your contest.Thinking I have. I gave my phone number, and my address. They keep putting off what I won. Then they said they were going to teach me how to paint a bird. . Then come and pain my house. Then I knew I didn't win. That was the sad part. The reason I am telling you. If this happen to me. It can happen to others.

Steve, I love, Love, LOVE this technique you do and have been studying and practicing! Thanks so much for sharing your talent and the commentary is great too!
Best, chris

That looks really cool 😎👍🏻

Can't wait to see the new Hahnemuhle cotton sketchbook!!! WOOOOOOO

dang that reminds me of some of the old mining buildings that were in death valley in the 50s & 60s, not sure if anything is still left of them. after my dad found out that charles manson & his murderous bunch lived there he didn't want to take us out there anymore, even moved the family up north to get away from the craziness. sure miss death valley though, we used to spend almost every weekend & many holiday weeks out there growing up. thanks for the memory jolt, beautiful work!

This was great! So much fun! More!

Awesome talent! Thank you for sharing this with us

Simple lines, wash colors, and yet so much detail & interest going on in the painting. I am always fascinated by watching your composition come to being.

😁🖋❣️

Love ink & watercolor - love doing it & love how it looks! It IS FUN - thank you for sharing!

I love this art work. It is a reminder of Arthur Rackham and all of his fairy tale illustrations. Your work is fun to observe and learn from.

As always... beautiful , creative and informative thank you

Awesomeness

Could you link to Ian's channel or website please?

Really enjoyed that. You have such a lovely touch in your art.

I love doing old barns and other rustic buildings in pen and ink and wash, so I’m very interested in trying this. Lots of room for imagination.

One of my favorite techniques as well!

This was great, really enjoyed seeing YOU enjoy doing this. Ian has great artwork and is inspiring. Thank you for sharing this

I love line & wash. I created a shark recently using Derwent Inktense pencils for the wash areas. It's probably the best thing I've done. It's included in a 3 x 5 cotton hot press sketchbook that I am filling with sea creature studies. Have you ever used the Derwent Inktense line?

Loved this demonstration! What kind of paper are you using, please?

Love it!

Love Ian McQue been following for years. So I love what you're doing here.

Your free-and-easy eloquence compliments your great teaching skills. You always seem to pick the perfect adjective or verb to make your point.

Really fun!!! What a happy painting 😊

Thank you for a trip on the wild & funny side of watercolor! Helps to remind me I'm watercoloring to have fun... no rules... try joyful 😊 art! (I'm a Kristy Rice fan) I always wait for your treasure at the end. With gratitude from a newbie California Gramma ❤

Thanks, Steve. I love how imaginative this is! In the upper right corner rocks I see that prospector's face pointed toward the sky. See it?

Pretty cool…like this concept!

Lovely project. I make similar sketches the other way round though. I paint with the watercolours over the pencil lines and then I ink the lines. This way I don't have to worry if the ink is waterproof or not.

More of this please.

Wonderful painting Steve! I just love your line and wash videos.

I really enjoyed this steve and found it inspiring. I wanted to know more of your thoughts on the indigraph pen. I have been playing with the idea of buying one and not really sure.

Wonderful video…I love this style and will definitely check out Ian McQue.

Wild!!!!!

I absolutely love this rendering. It puts me in mine of a Enzo Baldoni western movie. Or a SW mine claim. I really like sketching old buildings barns churches so this really opened my eyes.
Thank you once again for sharing.
