How to Paint a Whimsical Fall Landscape with Foxes, Owl and Rabbit - Beginners Watercolor Tutorial
Let’s travel together to the Land of Whimsy today and paint this little landscape of a harvest moon over the countryside. Wise owl is watching as Mr and Mrs Fox chat with Rabbit, and Farmer Giles’ cosy cottage is glowing over the whole scene. Have fun and make this one yours - you can even paint just one part of the composition, as there are at least three little paintings included in this one scene.
Here are some closeups of those mini-painting ideas for you:
