If you are spending hours painting landscapes in watercolor, you need an intermission! Try this simple, one layer landscape scene that focuses on the beauty of sedimentary watercolor paint on textured paper.
In this lesson you'll learn how to choose a limited palette of colors for watercolor painting, and how to use color temperature to create distance. I'll also demonstrate how edges and contrast influence composition, and when and where to make a big, dramatic, risky brush stroke!
The supplies used in this video helped me get bright colors, beautiful flow and expressive brush marks:

Your "fearless" approach really shows when you paint a delicate whippy line and then turn your brush sideways and smear it down sideways to erase it when you change your mind. Inspiring! :)

Angela, I really enjoyed how you show us how to make a focal point, using lights and darks. I love how you keep it simple, yet beautiful. Thank you!!

That tip about selecting different proportions of colour groupings was brilliant. The demonstration with colour squares just instantly communicated what you meant.

Nicest watercolor landscape I've seen. My favorite are florals, but this is gorgeous!

First time viewing this peaceful, serene painting. Then you make it come alive. I'm trying to get back into watercolor and I think you're the one to follow. Very enlightening. Opened my eyes to a lot of different areas to follow. With this 1 watercolor I learned so much. Thank you and on to the next one. Judy

Thank you for this lesson, I really liked the negative painting of the grasses, just implying them. I get so bogged down in the details and this really helped me with a new perspective. Beautiful painting!

Loved the cobalt green as well, and the beautiful granulation. Irish Hills is a gorgeous piece. Thank you for all the tips and the details. The one tip I love is the use of your Cheap Joe’s floppy liner❤️

I have a large supply of student grade paper, which I started buying when it was recommended by other teaching videos. After trying 100% cotton paper I see the difference easily so I am buying this now. However, it is a slow process do you budgets and my learning skills don't warrant that cost. Thank you so much for your lessons and providing the Facebook page for us all to share our work so we can get the help of others.

@mariamg3545 5 жыл бұрын

Angela, watching you paint this scene was very helpful. I struggle with the urge to try and paint each detail too soon, and too dark to start out, so it was good to see that light to dark transition in action. I will definitely be watching again (and again!) Thank you.

Really nice video! The painting turned out great. I just bought an Indigo sketchbook. Can't wait to try it out. I like the limited palette idea and how you played off the traditional RBY colors. I do that sometimes, too! Thanks Angela!

I love your tutorials and this one was fantastic! (Ok, they all are, but this one especially resonated with me this week as my daughter wants me to paint her something with mountains in it.) I learned so much, as always. Thanks for this and all the great tutorials you take the time to make for us!

Angela, this is another great landscape! I thought the photo was somewhat lonely, but your painting is very calm and peaceful. Really liked your color selection. I look forward to trying this. I also really like the Indigo sketchbook. It is very hard to find a 100% cotton sketchbook or journal so I will definitely get one of these. Thanks again for sharing your talent and experience. Your encouragement is priceless.

Hi Angela, I'm trying to paint a wintery Colorado mountain scene that is only in various shades of blues with lots of blowing snow. This video was helpful showing how to create depth and your comment that foreground landscape is warmer and background is cooler was very helpful. In a future video I would love to learn how you select the paint colors that aren't necessarily representational of the reference photo, such as this demo. I struggle with not having the skills or vision to select colors that go together yet are different than my reference photo. Thanks so much for this.

Hello! I have been watching many watercolor the past month or so. I find your method really speaks to way I create. I have not had the experience and skills with watercolors to go forward as yet. My desire to try is growing. You give enough guidance to boost my confidence to try!!! Do you have a link to any video on your brushes. I noticed you like the rigger a lot! I’m curious about that.

@mpm6760 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Angela, for a future video could you demo value jumps in the focal point? For example, show two landscapes with light and mid values ranging between 1-5 or 1-6 then make a focal point that jumps up in value to a 7 or 10. ....just wanting to know your thoughts about overdoing the center of interest . the.

@FannaTurano 3 жыл бұрын

I'd say artistic license and Angela's profound love of color. Who says mountains have to be boring brown? She often times sees "inside" the hill to a color gifted to her exclusively at that moment.
