Easy Watercolor Paint-Along! Glowing Mountain Landscape

[@bethcrane5780]

Amazingly I can hear crickets in the background. So lovely. I'm watching in December...

[@janeholloway8596]

I love watching and listening to you. Thank you.

[@ArtBrain]

I did this one yesterday. I almost couldn't find the tutorial today because mine looked so different! haha. I need to practice my mountains, do 100 mountain repetitions or something. They were so bad that I turned them into little domey hills with bizarre snow patterns. I decided that my landscape is on another planet and I need to make up geological explanations for my mountains' non-cragginess, ha-ha. Note to self, don't try to keep up with Lindsay when you're painting. Watch, then pause and paint SLOWLY. I really loved my sky though. Your technique was wonderful. I thought, oh man, this looks like a kid's coloring book, but when dry, it was outstanding!. You have amazing instincts, make things look so easy. Love to watch and learn.

[@watercolorlessons5304]

Very relaxing Lindsay. I think I even heard crickets while you were painting this outdoor scene 👌😎. Thank you

[@susanfisher9751]

I have been "studying" under you for a while now....am taking your watercolor landscape course. This was first time I felt ready to try a full landscape! I did it, am delighted with my painting 🤗🤗, I also know enough to fix a few things next time!!! I cannot thank you enough. ❤️ The Canson heritage paper.... not sure it's cheaper. Went to the actual Blick store in north Atlanta cause I didn't want to wait on shipping...bought a 20 page block -- $44. But I like it better than arches ... now can't wait to do another painting! Thank you for your consistency and hard work. I watch all your videos even if it's not something I intend to create .... I always learn something. Thank you!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It's a out the same price as arches but arches is sold out many places or the prices have gone up places it is in stock

[@moodyandtheartist]

This is really pretty…. Mijello watercolours are dupe vibrant hey! ❤

[@AafkeVultink]

Canson makes awesome papers.

[@memalus]

That's beautiful! I like the looseness of it mixed with a few details. Thanks for sharing!

[@debragallardo5754]

So pretty, really enjoyed your tutorial.

[@coloursonmymind6339]

Right on time to help me out of my creative block! Also, I love your videos! You're like the female Bob Ross of the art community😊♥️

That was fantastic 💖💖🤗🥰💖💖💖

[@maryyoungblood8550]

We have mountain lakes like this in eastern Arizona. Love this painting.

[@1Letter23Numbers.]

Watching to relax and I hear nature sounds 🤔 I'll have to watch again on Saturday so I can paint along. Thanks for the video!

[@cj_kirby]

I love, love, love this one, especially the trees. Beautiful. At first I wasn't sure I liked the texture of this paper but it really enhanced the granulation which I really like. I was also unsure about the color of the water but once the greens were in, it was perfect. I was amazed at how much lighter these paints dried. I'm glad you so enjoyed painting this scene and decided to go where the painting took you. I sure enjoyed watching. A must try. Thanks for this one! For anyone reading this, I HIGHLY recommend Lindsay's Landscape Class.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks so much!

[@pokey3010]

Very pretty Maine painting!! Love how you did the details.. Looks like fun too!!

[@flychk1229]

So pretty! I am in awe of your knowledge of color and color mixing. I know it has taken you years of learning and practicing but it just seems so intuitive and I covet that skill! And you have such a knack for painting (and drawing) what you see and not what your brain tells you what you see 😊 love watching!! 👍

[@artthomas8455]

Thank you for the great tutorial! I've been painting with acrylics for a few years now and decided to give watercolor a try last week. I love this one, and can't wait to give it a go. I feel like a fish out of water with watercolor but will keep practicing. Thanks for the tutorials.

[@obrown2450]

Absolutely stunning! I love how the red really makes the trees pop and gives so much depth to the painting. Thanks for sharing!

[@eekwrite]

Lovely, enjoyed your explanation of the colors you used and why. The length was just right for the accomplishment of a finished painting.

[@Boobatz490]

Beautiful landscape! It was so inspiring and lovely to watch you create a world with your imagination, "looking round the corner".

[@karritz1542]

Lovely painting. Where I live I don't see those colours and our mountains would have been hidden behind the trees. I was interested that you use so much Ultramarine. Years ago when I painted tropical rainforests I used massive amounts of Ultramarine blue. I'm very sleepy right now as it's a little after 1 am here. but I've enjoyed staying up to watch you do this painting. I didn't paint along, however watching has encouraged me to get back to doing more landscape painting.

[@sandraworrall-hart3840]

I agree, it is very relaxing. And very beautiful. Thanks for the instruction.

[@veggiestan9500]

i loved painting this with you! I really enjoy these longer tutorials. I also painted the garden door painting you did just this morning. Im giving both as gifts to my friends. Thanks for these

[@kookatsoonjan]

Lovely Lindsay...thanks for the great tutorial...just my try this myself for practice

[@Linda-qq5mg]

I loved hearing the excitement in your voice as the painting came together! And wow, it came together beautifully! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas and explaining as you go along. This is beautiful!

"The mountains light up the scenery of gold,precious colors of nature ,will never grow old." This is so beautiful lindsay.👍👍👍👍😊

[@christinap6760]

Beautiful landscape. You draw very well. The landscapes are difficult for me I've painted something but it is always complicated for me. 👏👏👏👏🌈🌈

[@Rita123xyz]

So pretty. Love the colors you used.

[@sharonyoung8251]

I’m really enjoying this video. When you first did the water I thought it was too dark but now it looks much lighter. I love how your brush dances on the paper.

[@Donna_G]

I love that; especially those trees, even the red ones. Sometimes I see orange evergreens here in WA. Probably because of a pest problem; but, it rains so rarely here in the summer, the young evergreens sometimes struggle.

[@sandraflieger6001]

Love your painting, thank you for sharing your expertise.

This is beautiful Lindsay! I learned alot in your Landscape class. Your lessons are always so well thought out. BTW, Dick Blick and Jerry's Artarama are selling the 12 sheet pads of Arches and Canson Heritage for almost the same prices: 9x12 is $14.43 Arches, $14.40 CH; 10x14 is $19.74 Arches, $19.20 CH. Really good prices for both papers. My favorites are Arches CP and Canson Heritage Rough.

Yes but I think arches are sold out:(

Great tutorial Lindsay!

[@anitaholmes6824]

This turned out beautifully! I wasn't sure about the water but once it dried I could see how perfect you made it...I am wondering tho' if I'm the only one that noticed you sketched in 5 trees on the right and then only painted 4, I kept waiting for you to find the trunk line...not that it makes a difference to the gorgeous painting! TFS

[@delila351]

This is really pretty...........thank you.

[@Rita123xyz]

Just did this painting. I almost had a nervous breakdown. Had to slow Lindsay to 50% and she sounds drugged but its the only way I can somewhat keep up but not really. I am a new at this but I learned so much from this painting and it came out pretty good! Thanks Lindsay

[@MrldCtyGrl]

It's BEAUTIFUL! I love a lot of your work, but this one is really gorgeous, I'll have to give it a whirl at some point, because dang near every single thing you did here is something I struggle with! I'll be signing up for the glass class too, of course!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks Nickie!

[@shirleygen]

Beautiful, I love this!!!!

This is such a beautiful painting, I love the colors you mixed - what a great variety of greens. The reflections really come alive with the white gel pen at the end. A pleasure to watch :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Aww, thanks so much Kimberly!

[@shannonericksen1291]

I just paid $35 for 5 full sheets of Arches cold press from Blick online store. Each full sheet, 22x30, was $7.65 or so. That's a ton of paper. Of course, depends on how you size it down. And, I was able to get a nice size gator board for like $10

[@juliebergacker5680]

Enjoyed this! Thanks😁👍

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

This is gorgeous! I've saved it to my 'tutorials' folder. 😊 I've just signed up for a 2 month free trial of Skillshare as well! 😁

Lovely and it even looks approachable for a beginner like me. I have mission gold paints, maybe I should try it with them when I get back from vacation....hmmm. Just FYI, I don’t know how you feel about Fabriano paper, but Jerry’s often has pretty great deals (like buy 9 get 3 free) on 22x30 format 100% cotton Fabriano. And it will be on sale to boot!I’ve found that I like it, but what do I know?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It's good paper, I have a couple of reams under my bed from some such sales LOL:)

This is beautiful, just what I like - nature and peace. Could this also be done with hard pastels? Thanks for everything you do, sure appreciate it here. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

Sure, give it a try!

Gorgeous, Lindsay! What time of day were you painting? The crickets were so soothing to hear. Lovely trees, learned a lot. Thought about you all week--hope you're feeling a bit more comfortable with 44. I understand. Been there, hard yet easy. Enjoy these "honest" years! Thanks for all you do! GREAT landscape!

[@janetwildeboer3436]

You make it look easy but my paintings never look this good. I won't give up just keep working on it

[@PaisleySzuSzu]

I was surprised by the way the pallet was set up. Why don't you just put some wax paper in between them? I am so glad people give away art lessons on the internet. It makes it so easy for people to learn in privacy because they are braver in what they try. You're a blessing on here.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

That might work!

[@irwintatyana9066]

[@galedar1537]

Lindsay, do you feel watercolor paper should be stretched? Does stretching really help the buckling? I keep forgetting to ask you!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It helps but I only do it for lightweight watercolor paper or large sheets. It works great, I'm just lazy lol

[@ArtsySDS]

Once framed behind glass, can watercolor paintings could be hung in the bathroom or where steam is collected?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Make sure you mat it so the glass dosnt touch the painting and you will ok if it's not too steamy. It's not the best place but it. An work.

[@jaredmiller7315]

What tape do you suggest to tape the paper down with? I sometimes have trouble with the tape tearing at the paper but not always

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Honestly I usually use sollar tree masking tape but I have lots of washi to use up so I e been using that:)

[@stefnedupreez8072]

I don't know if it is just me, but what about the pencil lines showing or doesn't it matter. I think the painting is beautiful!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It dosnt bother me

[@deb8262]

Hi Lindsay, I have a question I hope you might know the answer to. I was watching a channel where the woman was showing her new watercolor supplies. She showed the tubes the paints came in but said she didn't like storing the tubes so she put the tube paints into one of those little white plastic watercolor palettes. But she gave no explanation as to how that works! Do they harden like pan paints that you moisten with water? It looked so nifty as opposed to using the tubes but she didn't say a word only showed it stored in the little wells of the palette. I asked in the comments how that worked, but no reply now in over two weeks. I would like to try this method with my tube watercolors and was wondering if you know how it works or if it really works as a storage. If you've never heard of this, I understand. I never saw it before either! But if it works.....I sure would like to give it a try! Thank you if you can help : )

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes, let them dry, they will be fine
