This is a very simple tutorial showing anyone starting out in watercolour how to paint wet in wet. How to do a small number of brush strokes so as a beginner you have some success. Less is more. This is a step by step video on how to paint a very simple landscape using only a few colours.

The sky is painted wet in wet and left to move on the page. Watercolour always dries lighter than it looks initially on the page and so you are best off using strong mixes of watercolour. The hill is painted onto dried paper but then charged using wet in wet painting styles again.

The colours used were: cobalt blue, mix of cobalt blue and light red, yellow ochre, raw umber and burnt sienna.
Painted using a 1 inch hake brush and a pure kolinsky sable
Paper: Arches 180gsm cold pressed, medium paper

Happy painting!

Brushes

If you just want two hogs bristle brushes then the best thing to do is to head to your local art supplies store and buy them there.

Watercolour Paper

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)

I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.

Equipment Used to Film Each Episode

Friction arms

I use this for any photo editing that I might need to do such as stitching multiple scanned images of my original artwork together. It is a one off expense ($70 at time of writing this) rather than the monthly fee you have to pay with photoshop.

Thanks from Canada! Very helpful. I use acrylic paints, so this is very useful. I'm learning wet on wet and I know you've mentioned Lena Gemzoe. It gives me confidence to let the paint do its thing since I'm quite intimidated by landscapes. Very helpful. Thanks Scott.

That worked really well Scott! Obviously a landscape but also quite abstract! I presume if you tried to do the same again, it would turn out quite differently?

This is so wonderful. As a beginner i would like to ask you if you squeeze some paint in to the bowl? And then add some water? Do you then cover he bowls?

Small for your standards but perfect for me. What size is it? Is it 90 lb?

Do you rehydrate dried paint in the bowls once they dry out, or do you add fresh paint each time?
