James Gurney | Calm Riverside Landscape in Watercolor--ASMR Painting @JamesGurney | Uploaded July 2019 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
With no talking, James Gurney paints a watercolor landscape of a dawn scene along a quiet stream. The warm colors disperse into each other as the painting develops. Trees grow upward, reflections stretch downward, and a bird appears. The paints are watercolor and ink, with ox gall to aid their solubility.

The ASMR inspired soundtrack is a blend of low-key ambient music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) and captured morning sounds from a northeastern US forest in the morning.
