This is a short video on the process of using glad wrap or cling film to create an imagined Chinese style watercolour landscape. This is an exercise that my mentor Tony Smibert showed me many years ago and is in his book "Painting Landscapes from your Imagination". It is a fantastic process that you could apply to any subject and use with many things not just some glad wrap! You don't need to paint every bit of the plastic as you can see from the demonstration.

It reminds me of ink wash painting from Asia and of some paintings I saw many years ago in a gallery in Tokyo of charcoal on rice paper. They were beautiful abstract landscapes that are etched into my mind.

This painting was painted on to Rives BFK etching paper by Arches but could be painted onto any good quality paper

The brushes used were:
Silver Brush 5514S Alpine White Blender Brush, Pure Kolinsky Round Sable and a flat nylon. I could have used a fan brush to paint in some dry brush details.

The colours used were:
My favourite mix of cobalt blue and light red (Winsor and Newton) and some cerulean blue.

Hope you enjoy this demonstration

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.
