But I appreciate your down to earth with sharing your trials and tribulations as you go along ,.. it really goes a long way with beginners that see that even the artists that inspire us have to trial and error their technics and you share your frustrations and emotions behind it yet ALWAYS come out with a beautiful painting!!!..

      Goooood for you! for taking on something new. Welcome to the wonderful world of watercolor 🎨🖌️
      As someone who has taught watercolor for more than 30 years, I encourage you to please do yourself the favor of getting good paper (YES!! Even though you’re just a beginner) good, quality paint (5 colors of good paint will take you farther, faster than 100 colors of junk watercolor) and a few decent brushes (Good w/c brush will have a nice point for detailed work and a nice belly for larger washes, one good brush can do several jobs, again vs lots of not-so-good brushes).
      I’ve seen, time without number, people getting junk supplies to “learn” with but give up in frustration bc they think they “can’t do w/color”. It’s not them, it’s the crap supplies they’re using.
      Kind of like using a Big Wheels toy to learn how to drive on the highway…or a kids’ plastic tools set expecting to gain the skills to build a house 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️
      Suggestions:
      3 primary colors and neutral tint or Paynes’s grey in Winsor & Newton Artist/Professional grade (or their student grade: Cotman)
      Daniel Smith seems quite good too. Also an opaque white (Dr. PH Martins Bleed-proof White)
      Or get yourself a Winsor & Newton Field Travel kit, GREAT buy for the money (on Amazon, about $35)= decent colors to get you started.
      Arches is fantastic paper, but pricy- there are others try to get 100% cotton (cotton vs paper/wood pulp makes all the difference: cotton paper is specifically made to make watercolor sing)
      Princeton has some fabulous travel WATERCOLOR brush kits (they work beautifully at home too- again: double duty = more bang for your buck).
      Happy painting 🤗

It's beautiful, and you have inspired me! Thank you for sharing!🌺🌈🙋‍♀️

    Hello, thanks for your tutorial. -I don't think I've ever found a watercolour landscape tutorial with different levels in the foreground like yours has. I really like it. And I like the darks. Woods are sometimes moist and musty and brackish. (at least where I come from!) The effect is more grounding - more woodsy!
