    Very helpful advise about using different techniques in a landscape. I have been taking a summer watercolor class and this week's lesson was on depth. I am a 75 year old beginner and by my third iteration I finally figured out how to use wet on wet for soft background edges, wet on dry for middle ground and foreground, and how to use scale and chroma to define distance. What a fun hobby!

    Absolutely loved this! This is exactly what I have been wanting to learn... How to approach painting a photograph. Bonus that it was a sunset, had trees and water!! This might be my favorite video second to all of your floral, because you reign supreme as the "floral queen" in my book!

    Thanks for this great and very useful tutorial 😊 After starting watercolor 5 years ago with, I still try to figure out how to combine this illustration style and realistic style and you gave great tips. Maybe IF you would have time 😊 it would be a nice idea to make a tutorial with both techniques based on the same reference picture 😊

    That turned out lovely!! 🥰 Even Bob Ross started with the backgrounds!! 🤗 It is an important tool for painting landscapes. He actually took a lot of time on his background. I would love the background and be sad when he started painting his mountains!! 😂 I love the beauty of the sky! 🌤 It has so many emotions!! 🌠 A good sunrise or sunset is always a win in my book!! 🌅

Watercolor is the last medium for me to learn and one I've longed to learn for about 55 years. I better get crackin' since 10 yrs older than that ^^ number 😀

    Really enjoyed this. Just starting out with watercolor and you have taught me the leaves and flower strokes, now here we go with landscapes. I got frustrated, because I upgraded my paint and paper, and now it seems I have to relearn the water ratio thing again. So helpful painting along with you as you clearly explain what is happening. Still, my brain knows what it wants, but the hand with the brush in it keeps resisting! Would love to see more "blue sky" cloud formations. The white fluffy ones.
