    I'm enjoying this since I can't travel anymore, the kids bring home photos from Colorado, but it's not the same. Glad you're watching out around you for the furry neighbors. Even in Central Kansas. at our old farm, we had mountain lions! Someone had released a pet along the river near the farm & it regularly came through our land & often stole calves & sheep from the neighbors. In town I don't need to worry what's out there behind the bushes anymore. Coyotes came up to us during the day, but the bobcats & lions were more dawn & dusk visitors. My kids often saw & heard the lioness & her cubs. She came to visit one of their bonfires (I think she wanted hotdogs) but she scared the kids to death. After a couple of visits we gave her a wide berth, and I only ever saw her from afar, about 1/4 mile or so. I had two questions, first, in the last video I watched from May 2023, you mentioned the dryness, which we deal with here north of Wichita as well. Do you ever use a vaporizer or humidifier in your studio? I have to use one most of the time, due to lung issues, and I notice when it's running I have a harder time controlling the water on my paper. Our dryness is usually in the winter or late summer when the heat hits 100+. Second question, which of the Sapphire brushes do you recommend? Blick has them on clearance, sadly no rounds, but I have very few flats so I was thinking of stocking up on some flats and oval washes?

    • @LauraGYoung
      @LauraGYoung Місяць тому

      Answers! :) 1) We have a whole-house humidifier that keeps things around a steady 40%. Outside it can very dramatically, especially as we have such wild temperature/weather swings. 2) Yeah, the flats are great. I'm sad they might not be available for much longer. I have them in a few sizes but mostly use the 3/4" and #12. No experience with Sapphire oval washes, but I imagine they could be useful for larger works. And wow, that's cool, that you have had all those encounters with a a safe outcome. Mountain lions and bobcats are abundant in the foothills here, and we've had more reports in recent years (probably 'cos we have a higher human population than ever). There's been two attacks not far from this area -- younger animals that weren't as experienced and therefore hungry -- so I'm mindful of their presence. That being said, I'm far more wary of moose! Thankfully, those (mostly) keep to themselves along the river corridor. However now that we've got two wildfires going on at once, it'll get interesting in the coming weeks as this tends to disrupt normal patterns....

    Hello Neighbor, a Kansan here, wishing I were in Colorado this week. I was looking for a review on some brushes I am considering, but when I heard your troubles. Since you also catch Covid more than most (5 times here) & are dealing with shoulder issues (both totally severed, one repaired.) I thought, hey, a fellow sufferer, maybe I will watch more Vlogs! Plus, Herons are one of my favorite birds, I watch them come & go from my bedroom window almost every morning, not to mention Hawks, Kites, swallows, doves, bluebirds and more!

    I love how this turned out! Wow. Just lovely. I'm a newer subscriber, and love your plein air and love of nature that you share. Towards the end, did you add any white paint, or did you just pull color out to get the leaf veining and rose petal details? Thank you for sharing some of the names of the wildlife you are hearing too. The architecture and city paintings bring great joy too. I love all the variety! Paula

    • @LauraGYoung
      @LauraGYoung Місяць тому

      Eeep, thanks so very much Paula! :) :) Nope, I didn't add any white paint, but lifted out some outer sections of the petals with a stiff scrubber brush, using masking tape to give a clean edge. As for the leaf veining, that was all done with "negative" painting. (I might do a video on this technique sometime, as it's super useful when working with transparent watercolor.) I've got a lot going on over the next couple of weeks, but hope to share more adventures soon. Bestest wishes, L.

    Hi! Your channel is brand new to me this morning and I have been marathoning a lot of the vids...they are delightful! I liked and sub'd. I am a super newbie to the whole entire artworld, trying hard to learn watercolor. I'm 76, live on the desert in Riverside Co., CA. It's been really slow going as I struggle with hand, shoulder issues but am determined. My progress is pathetically slow but am not bothered/discouraged by that. I don't know if it was this vid or one other but you were in the wild and showed a brush that you said was great for cloud painting. The latest trend for UA-cam watercolorists has been paint boxes and brush sets specifically for florals but none for cloud paints and brushes....this just came to me. It seems like marketing because so much of the paints and brushes look just like the ones they and even I already have! I think ppl do great with basics and with my income that will just have to do with little bits of add ons here and there....but I do just want everything! LOL (seriously) Anyway, I am curious as to what brush you are using for clouds. Thans you for sharing your wonderful work and bits of your life.

    • @LauraGYoung
      @LauraGYoung Місяць тому

      Hi, Kathy! I'm so happy to hear you're learning watercolor despite some steep challenges.(I've begun to struggle with shoulder and joint issues, myself.) You are absolutely correct about "specialty" brushes -- a lot of it is marketing. That being said, I've found certain ones to be slightly more helpful for certain tasks -- like the Japanese ink brush I use for foliage, for example. The cloud brush video I believe was this one: ua-cam.com/video/WRWYwyDGMEw/v-deo.htmlsi=s_PrPe1UWsLvBh9H&t=282 . I'm a creature of habit and tend to still use my Robert Simmons "Sapphire" #14 Round for skies, even though there's many others that would work just as well. Thanks again for reaching out. It's so awesome to meet other artists who love exploring this medium! If you ever have any further questions, let me know and I'll try to help out where I can. Bestest wishes, L :)

    The power of the spritzer in the arid Southwest! I heard those strange noises in your video, but couldn't identify them. BTW, you've inspired me to enter a small plein air competition this October. Still haven't settled on a medium. We'll call it a learning experience.

    • @LauraGYoung
      @LauraGYoung Місяць тому

      Hooray for entering competitions! And yeah, water spritzers are a MUST if one is working 12 x 16 inches or larger. As to mediums: if I could go back in time, I'd tell my younger self to just use whichever one I was the most experienced/comfortable with. Painting on location is hard enough without trying to master a new medium at the same time (which in my case was oils).

      Thanks, Terri! 🥰Yeah, there's gotta be a place that's got ideal outdoor watercolor painting conditions. It's going to be 103F / less than 10 percent humidity this weekend here in Colorado. Ooof.

    I’m glad I filled up the tank when I was in Vermont watching the eclipse

    Thank you so much for posting your Plein Air adventures! I don't know how many people understand the work that goes into you doing this and I only know just a smidge from trying it myself!! It is a lot of work! Thank you! Thank you!!!

      Thanks for recognizing that! 😅Painting on location is a challenge, for sure (especially with the added filming/editing element) but it’s always super inspiring to be out in nature and I always learn so much, that it’s totally worth it.
