Enough W’s in the subject heading? Recently, I’ve been considering making watercolor videos on YouTube….again. Yes, its true – I’ve made a some painting videos before, but admittedly, the production quality wasn’t there. Most importantly, the consistency wasn’t there either, and as a result – I got crushed by the social media algorithm! Life gets in the way, you know?

This isn’t a New Year’s resolution or anything (I don’t believe in those), but I’m giving it another go. I’ve been learning how to use Adobe Premiere Rush – a free video editing app for smartphones or whichever type screen you prefer to peer into. I found it to be a great tool and easy to use. Maybe I’ll upgrade if I stick with producing video content consistently. Who knows!

Anyway, I’ve recorded, edited, and published a new video on YouTube called “Winter Landscape with White Pine Tree – Watercolor Demo”. It is a watercolor painting demonstration, which is hopefully easier and more fun to watch, than my previous videos. The entire production process took about 15+ hours….yes, 15+ hours (maybe more). There is a define learning curve here, but lots of time went into creating the painting, learning how to edit, then actually editing the video, then creating a thumbnail using Canva, and so on. YouTube gurus will tell you to outsource the editing and other tasks, which makes a lot of sense, given how labor intensive it is.

Check out the video (link below) and let me know what you think! Which improvements do you suggest? What other types of watercolor videos would you like to see? I appreciate your time and feedback!

Original painting and prints are also available on ETSY!..
