I had lots of fun painting this plein air watercolor at the Wooden Boat Centre at tiny Franklin in Tasmania: it's a real-time demonstration that shows the reality of plein air painting: passing visitors, a barking dog and then some guys taking my boat!
I found this scene quite challenging, but I'm sure most mid level artists will enjoy it.
Btw, when the barking dog was too loud we removed the audio, and sometimes clipped the video altogether. There was also machining noise at times, but that has remained.

We are enjoying a month-long holiday in Tasmania! We are travelling in our motorhome, and we camp, paint and make videos as often as possible.
In this video I used the Joseph Zbukvic Aquario mop: listed below.
Also a wedge style nylon brush: Try this set, it looks really good: https://amzn.to/2Sur793
