- Hello my friends,
In this video, I'll be showing you how I achieved two different styles of mist. The picture may look complicated, but trust me, you can do it. With a few different techniques using lifting, blending, and a paper towel, you'll be painting your own misty and foggy scenes in no time. I hope you find this video useful and inspiring.
Happy creating and take care,
Jackie

I feel like every painting has an ugly phase at some point and I noticed that even pro artists have self doubt if they ruined a painting or not. Your art is very beautiful, inspiring and it awakens thought and presence in me. When I look at it, it always feels like I’m there wondering in that fog
Thank you so much Irene for the lovely comment. I greatly appreciate it and often doubt my work more than I’d like to admit I am still working on loving my art like so many other artists are and hope to one day get to a place where I’m happy with 90% of what I paint. Thank you for the encouraging words.
Mt. Rainier ("The Mountain") is out today and looking glorious! Perfect subject to watercolor or to draw by the stipple method. Your work and info are terrific.
I prefer landscapes to actual botanical and animals. I've yet to try animals but I have painted different flowers. Thank you for this tutorial...I needed help with this mist/fog. I'm maybe halfway to getting it right!
I love the surrounding vignettes on your work surface!
Thank you so much. I adore a good cozy flat lay haha
Both are beautiful! And no, you didn’t ruin the first at all - I love them both.
Thanks so much 😊
absolutely beautiful! I love your honesty that about feeling like you overworked that one area. It helped me to learn that I don't have to hate one of my paintings if I didn't achieve the look I wanted. I should just keep trying to turn it into something I like. I loved the finished pieces! Thank you for a great video
Absolutely and thank you so much for watching and leaving me a lovely comment. And yes, definitely keep on painting until you fall in. Love with whatever it is that you’re trying to tackle. 🌲
Someone directed me to your RUclips tutorials ... trees have been my go-to since childhood when I get to doodling ... picked up watercolors a year ago and took my first art.classes ... I love botanical and landscapes ... I love "mist" and trees and mountains in mist so you have been my go-to but so glad I've found your tutorials. I'm trying to loosen up my style ... I was one of those kids who needed to stay within the lines, and colored very "tightly" and perfectly ... but yet live in organized chaos. Thank you! You do beautiful work!
I’m so happy they did, Sallie!
And I’m so glad you’ve picked up watercolors! It’s such a strange and fun (and frustrating) medium. 🫣
I totally hear you on the needing to color in the lines. I still struggle with that today. I just want things to be a certain way. However, I’ve found that watercolor, as I’m sure you know by now, doesn’t let you do that; it has a mind of it’s own.
And botanicals are so great. I don’t paint flowers, but adore leaves. What’s your favorite botanical to paint?
Thank you for being here 🌲🌲🌲
As a complete beginner with watercolors I really enjoy how you make this look easy and something I might be able to do, maybe not now but someday. I don't have any favorite subject to paint yet in watercolors, still learning basic techniques. Working in layers I understand from 42+ years of airbrushing, however watercolors are a different medium entirely for me. I am subbed...so much to learn!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback. It’s funny how when we first start anything that others really do make it look so easy, and it almost seems impossible for us while we’re learning. I still feel this way about many areas of art, especially animals. Airbrushing! My husband just got into that. He paints models/figurines (he’s a Star Wars fan and loves those). Looks hard haha.
And I’m so glad you want to stick around. Watercolor is my main medium for art, but I plan on sharing gouache, too. I think it’d be fun to share something new to me as well.
Thanks for the video. I love the mountain in the top painting. I paint mountains in that way too. I love the bottom painting with those lovely trees.
So glad you like this video! It’s fun to paint the mountains this way, right? 🌲🤍
Love the misty trees 😍 Thanks for sharing your work and making these tutorials, they are so inspiring and learning so much from them 🥰
Thank you, Laila 🤍 I can’t say thank you enough for watching my videos.
Oooh! Love it!
Thank you! 🌲🌲
I love both these landscapes, Jackie. I love how you paint the trees and the mountains and want to emulate your style (hope you don't mind).
Thank you so much! It totally makes sense to want to paint just like an artist you like. It can be quite helpful because you learn different techniques, but then eventually develop your own spin on things. I say study as many artists as you can. It’s one of the best ways to learn.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your work!
Thank you so much, Rabah! And absolutely!
I freaking LOVE your trees and your style!
Thank you for loving them! And thank you so much for watching these videos :)
So beautiful and helpful 😊 Thanks so much for sharing your process. I love painting atmospheric landscapes and your videos have really helped me to get better at the techniques. I mostly paint animals, birds and flowers but want to get better at Landscapes because I love them.
Thank you for watching and sharing that. Do you paint these subjects in watercolor as well?
Love these, so beautiful!👌👌👌
Appreciated, Andy! Thank you for watching.
Oh, Jackie, these are so inspiring! I love the top one best! It's so mysterious. My favorite thing to paint is botanicals, very detailed, pen and ink botanicals in stippling. Then washing them with watercolor, but I am learning to use watercolor only to do simple landscapes and have promised myself to do more of them this year. I'm so glad I found your channel. Your way of working is so encouraging.
I don't care to do most animals, although I'm feeling drawn to doing birds. I have done a few small songbirds in ink and want to do more! I have done some animals in years past and may do some more but right now, I am loving these landscapes!
Bonnie! Welcome! I’m so happy you’re here and finding some new inspiration for landscapes. Thank for sharing your joy of painting botanicals. I definitely love those, too. Ink and pen add such a fun twist to paintings; love the look. I hope to continue to provide landscape tutorials and make them easy to follow. 🤍
Another beautiful work of yours!!! Really amazing!
Awww many thanks my friend. I hope to continue to provide valuable content.
Just found your page. I live in Colorado, and I've struggled to paint what I see around here. This is going to be a great help. I'm a 72 yr old beginner
I’m so glad you came across my channel and find it helpful! I hope to continue providing meaningful educational content.
love your videos and art!!! thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome! And thank YOU for watching!
Tremendous value. Ty for inspiration.
Thank you so much and you're welcome :)
I’m a complete beginner and just found & subscribed to your channel. Will practice those trees today ! Thanks
Hi Judy, and welcome! I’m happy you’re here and find some value in my tutorials. I really hope to make is easier for those learning. Definitely try out this technique. Love a good dry brush tree.
I have to create a birthday card for our neighbor (gentleman) this afternoon and I think doing a misty landscape is just the ticket.
I think that sounds like an excellent idea, and I hope it turned out great!
Was the ground of the top one done wet on wet? Or just the spray bottle. Also what colour were you using for the ground there? It's exactly rhe effect and look i was looking for.
Disaster? OMG, no! I'd be proud to have that on my wall. If there's a subject I don't enjoy because I'm not good at it, it would be portraiture. Landscapes, animals and birds I do pretty OK. But, this...stunning.
Aww Susan! Thank you!! 🥰
Portraiture is quite challenging, I agree. I’ve honestly never attempted it, unless it’s a stick figure 🫣🤣. Ooh I love birds. I can’t quite paint them, but the ones I’ve seen in watercolor are beautiful.
@@JackiePeacock Quite welcome.
Thank you enjoyed it a lot
Appreciated. Thank you.
Très jolies vos aquarelles bravo !
Thank you! 🌲
I just discovered your channel! I want to learn about to do misty paintings. Animals are more shape painting. I have done some in a class. I like wildlife painting more.
You can do it! Painted animals are wonderful. Birds are really fascinating. I highly recommend checking out @thedevonartist who is Wildlife in Watercolor channel.
O believe me there is a wrong way to paint a mountain 😂 and I can show you if you want
Lol oh no! Haha I guess I can understand that.
Très jolies aquarelles 👏
Quelle marque et numéro de pinceau utilisez-vous pour les sapins ? Merci 🌹
Thank you so much for the kind comment and feedback and of course for spending time with me here on RUclips. I should have all of the materials listed in the description of this video but typically what I always use for my trees are by the Princeton velvet touch in a size 2, 4 and 6. 🌲
Hello Jackie，
I love your color and landscape, especially your picture arrangement. I am new and think it's difficult to do picture arrangements. Can you tell us a bit of it? Thank you!
Hmm that's a great question, Helene. If I'm being honest, most of my paintings come from my own imagination. However, I'm always on Pinterest looking at landscape photographers. I also tend to put up my own art on a wall so I can study it and be inspired what I've already created. I used to study a lot of other artists, but these days I find myself trying to look more within (if that makes sense). I hope that helps. But I'm always thinking from a landscape photographer's mindset since that's what my main form of art used to be.
Wanted to add to the photographer's mindset here... I'm thinking and imagining in terms of focal length when it comes to a scene. I'm thinking about a wide angle shot with sweeping scenes to a more narrow shot where a scene may be more fixed and close up.
I think you were using a 2, not a 4 VelvetTouch….
I’d have to rewatch the video as I’ve forgotten lol, but I love the sizes 2 and 4, so I may get them mixed up when talking since I use them both all the time. But if I used it in the description I’ll have to change that, so if you’re right then thank you for the correction :)
Animal person here ✋I want to get better at environments for said animals 😂
I was looking for a card to paint for my son's 25th birthday. I like a card that can be framed and all the writing is on the inside. These are both beautiful and will try them! New subscriber!
That's a great idea! I hope you do.
Thank you for leaving me a comment and sharing. And welcome, Shilo!
