Misty landscapes are great to paint with watercolors as the medium really lends itself to creating the softness and depth found in these soft hazy scenes. Here’s my process of painting a monochromatic misty landscape.

In this blog post, I bring you inside my head and explain to you the planning process and the way I approached the layers for this winter cabin watercolor painting. You can also watch a timelapse video to see my actual painting process!

If you've been around the world of watercolor for a little bit you've probably already know of the term "wet on wet".

And if you haven't, that's ok! It's one of the basic watercolor techniques that in simplest terms means applying paint onto wet paper (as opposed to dry paper).

Today I’m sharing how I flatten my watercolor paintings with you. I didn’t always do it this way, but this is definitely the best way I’ve found so far!

Sometimes when I sit down to paint, I feel pretty darn good about it. Then there are other times when I get a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach that I label as “worry”.

Sometimes I only get a momentary bit of worry that I am able to push away. That’s what happened when I sat down to paint this month’s August challenge.

I haven’t spent much time studying or painting beach landscapes. So, it goes without saying that I was a little intimidated myself when I decided to pick this ocean and wave reference photo for the July Paint With Me Challenge!
