STUNNING Landscape Watercolor Painting Tutorial for Absolute Beginners / Now you know how EASY it is

Hey folks, welcome back to yet another super easy, super cool watercolor painting tutorial for absolute beginners. Today we'll paint something very simple yet very beautiful. This is a landscape scene that I often see when I'm at my parents' place. I couldn't find the reference picture, but I'll soon post it in the community tab. So brushes we are using today are Daler Rowney Mob Brush Round 4 Escoda Perla Round 12 which is a synthetic brush. Again, Escoda Perla Round 6, very snappy. And you will know in a minute why we need it. You don't always have to have a mechanical pencil. Instead, you can go old school like a wooden pencil. But then this is Pentel Craftgear 1000 0.7mm thickness, 2B darkness. Paper we are using is Minora Dual Texture 100% cotton. One of my favorite papers in the cheaper section. As we need a little bit of gravity for a better flow, always elevate your paper at an angle of 30 to 40 degrees. Don't forget to keep a small spray bottle because it helps a lot. I actually got a new one. This thing is cheaper yet magical. Okay, so here is the plan. In this piece, we have beautiful mountains, grassy land, a lake and some trees. First, we take the frame and divide it into two parts, the earth and the sky. This is called the horizon line, the base of any painting. Then we have the mountains in the back which will be pretty weak in values. Then we draw another line to separate the lake from the ground. While the lake reflects the sky, the ground will have darker values than the mountains. And finally, we have the trees which are the darkest darks in the entire piece. As the sun is shining from the right, the shadows will cast to the left. So here is the basic idea of what we are up to. We also gonna paint some clouds, but in a very loose manner. This is a DIY box I built a few months back and it really works well. So colors we are using today are ultramarine blue, lavender, green gray, sap green, neutral tint and cool gray if needed. People say I have a very dirty palette. Yeah, it's true. So here is how the colors look like on paper. I believe by now you got the picture what we are painting. I recommend you to watch the video first so that you can take your time to understand how it's done. And immediately after the first watch, come back again for a practical. Now grab a cup of coffee, sit back, relax and enjoy the show. So what do you think? How did it go? I hope you have created a masterpiece again. If you are not enjoying this video yet, I had a great time painting this because I knew what to paint. And with that final note, we'll wrap this up for today.
