Watercolor Landscapes for Relaxation

Description

Landscapes in watercolor depend on a few repeatable skills, and these ten PDF lessons teach them in a sensible order. After an introduction to watercolor basics and the materials you need, the lessons cover color mixing for natural scenes, skies and clouds, trees and foliage, and water effects such as rivers, lakes and reflections.

You then learn how to build depth with foreground and background, apply composition rules and make quick landscape sketches. The final lesson guides a complete painting project from start to finish. Exercises appear in most lessons. After reading, you should be able to plan and paint a simple landscape on your own, with an understanding of why each step is done.

Who it is for: beginners who want to paint calm watercolor landscapes.
