Sometimes you just want to paint but inspiration or subjects are not available, try this…
If you’ve ever wanted to dive into watercolour landscapes but didn’t know where to start, you’re in the right place!
In this video, inspired by the 64 Million Artists January Challenge prompt – Fanzine.
I’ll guide you through a quick and beginner-friendly technique to craft an inspirational booklet featuring 8 stunning watercolour landscapes. And guess what? It only takes about 5 minutes!
Materials You’ll Need:
Watercolour paper
Scissors
Masking tape
Watercolour paint (blues and yellows)
Large flat watercolour brush
Oil pastels
This is an ideal exercise for beginners or anyone who wants to experiment with watercolour. Use combinations of different colours to see how they mix on the page and to create a dictionary of colour!
Let’s Dive In:
Fold the paper into quarters, creating a neat grid for your landscapes. Secure the paper on a drawing board with masking tape. Grab those oil pastels and make random marks on the paper. With your largest watercolour brush, create a quick, one-stroke blue sky – no fussing allowed! Paint a vibrant yellow foreground under the sky, going over the oil pastel marks. Once dry, unveil your masterpiece by removing the tape.
