Elevate your watercolor with these 5 landscape elements

[@mariaconsuelo4073]

These are very helpful thank you very kuch jackie

[@marvinmartian8746]

Wow, you make it look so easy. I am always impressed by your trees, but was knocked out when I saw that grass.

[@JackiePeacock]

Haha isn't that how it goes though? Whenever I watch another artist using watercolor, I think the same thing. And when I attempt it, I struggle. I hope to continue to better my content so others can benefit from my videos and paint these things with ease. Thank you so much for your kind comment, Marvin! I appreciate you watching.

I found you on Emma’s page this morning. I am looking forward to learning more from you. Thank you for sharing. I also like to not have to mix colors. I never seem to make enough and never get the color correct on second try. Thank you again.

[@JackiePeacock]

Hey Tammy! Thanks for joining me over here! And I agree… mixing colors isn’t my favorite haha

[@jeannegeorge6497]

Love your videos ! Trees and mountains are my favorite things to paint.

[@lucythompson6132]

This is a fantastic video Jackie. Your various techniques are mesmerizing and very inspiring. Thank you!

I appreciate that so much. Thank you for watching and commenting. And I’m so so happy you find my videos and style relaxing and enjoyable. Definitely what I’m aiming for. 🌲🌲🌲 I love those types of videos, so I’m happy to be able to do them in a teaching style.

[@Jazzgriot]

Lovely stuff. Simple and effective for my level of beginner.

[@carolynswanson5693]

Definitely interested in videos using granulated paints!

[@JackiePeacock]

Noted! They are so cool!

So glad! And thank you so much for watching 🌲

[@skipragsdale3565]

Your Douglas Fir trees look great. By adding a gentle arc to the very tip top (line) of the tree you'll get a Hemlock tree which typically grows in and around the fir trees. From a distance the two look the same, the Hemlock tips droop slightly, first straight up. Your trees and mountains are a give away to the west coast, Northern California to Washington...

[@JackiePeacock]

Thank you for the tips! I love those trees. They are so quirky. And yes, guilty haha absolutely the correct region. 🌲 The west coast is what I know and love so much.

[@dianecisek8268]

Love your approach to landscapes Jackie. I reviewed trees, mountains and landscapes of many artists. I find that your approach speaks to me. Can't wait to try it! Thank you

[@JackiePeacock]

Thank you so much, Diane. It’s always a wonderful thing when you can connect with it. I’m glad to be of help.

[@haleybrown2836]

Like you my landscapes are generally done with a lot of dry brushing. I found the addition of a cheap chip brush and flat bristle brush quite useful.

[@JackiePeacock]

Ooh a chip brush! Good idea. Yeah, there’s something magical about the dry brush technique. Love it.

[@maryannknox7158]

Thank you for sharing this video

[@JackiePeacock]

My pleasure 🤍🌲

[@klea6133]

Thanks for sharing these techniques so useful for landscapes! Could you also share the Amazon link for the wooden letters?

Absolutely! Here's the link: a.co/d/aTSfuVm

@@JackiePeacock Thank you!

[@scrapdestine]

merci pour ce tutos ...les arbres c est pas encore ça ...mais j y travaille 🙂

[@JackiePeacock]

The more you keep practicing, you'll end up getting the perfect tree. 😄

[@MargaretPrice-b3b]

Where do you get the brush for grasses?

[@JackiePeacock]

I've looked on the Internet, but I can't find the brand or anything on it. I got it at a local art store a while back, but the only thing it says is C Round and it's a bamboo brush.

[@nancysteffen7902]

Great video!!! What is the name/brand of paint brush you used for the grass? Do you have a link for it? Thank you ❤

[@JackiePeacock]

Thank you so much, Nancy! It's actually the Marseille Series 150 Bamboo Round Brush by Artist's Loft, but I'm having weird feelings about it since I didn't realize it's made of natural hair. I'm not one to purchase brushes made from animal hair, but just so you know in case that bothers you, too.

[@irenedeprov]

I have a highly granulating PRIMATEK color, which is green apatite genuine and I bought it thinking it would be great for leaves. Spoiler alert, it’s not 😂 and it was sitting in my collection not being used until I was struggling to paint a mossy forest path and decided to try it as a last resort. And OMG… It saved the painting and gave it a texture that looked like I have the actual forest in front of me. So so so beautiful

[@JackiePeacock]

Yes!!! So glad you busted it out again. It’s perfect for moss and texture. 🌲🤍

[@cslattfri]

I actually don't find acrylic to be all that messy. Not as easy and neat as watercolor (the water bucket gets muckier much quicker with acrylic). But I have two different pallettes: one is just store bought from Blicks and is a pad of wax paper that you peel off and throw away. The other is a square plastic pallette with a lid that you put a wet sponge at the bottom with a piece of special paper on top of it. The paint goes on top of the paper and it stays moist. You can cover it for days and it won't get hard. I think it's called a Sta-Wet pallette. I would love to try oil but to me THAT is the messy medium, thanks to the chemicals that I don't think you can even pour down your drain so i wouldn't know how to dispose of it. I am oil curious but not going to try any time soon because I hate messes!

[@blankmission5369]

They have water soluble oil paints now that I believe you can use without harsh solvents if you choose. Also they have water soluble oil pastels. Those are nice I have a box of those and they are not too messy. I have the mungyo water soluble oil pastels. You should give them a go. They are very inexpensive, versatile and fun.

[@cslattfri]

@@blankmission5369 I have a bunch of oil pastels which I love. But have never heard of water soluble oil paint?! How is that even possible? I will have to investigate. Thank you!

[@dustydesert1674]

I don’t like mixing to get a color either. I have the same problems of trying to get the shade I want but not having enough and needing to go back and mixing again. It’s too frustrating and I don’t see why I should go through that if I can just buy it in a tube. And I love an excuse to buy more art supplies. I’m 76 and I want to enjoy making art in my later years, not become acknowledgeable in color theory.

[@JackiePeacock]

Haha I hear you. I enjoy changing my hues, but not so much color mixing to get different shades. Always a good excuse to get more paint. Thank you for watching and leaving me a comment. I appreciate it.

[@elinbirgis]

I usually prefer to work with one warm and one cool. Sap green, perelyne green and black you say? It’s interesting… you paint realism but choose paints like an illustrator… I could learn things from you!

[@JackiePeacock]

Haha my color choices are interesting indeed. I went into a small art store not too long ago and was telling a staff member how much I loved deep sap green mixed with sepia. He looked at me quite strangely. Hey, whatever works for each artist... I love illustrations! Usually do these in digital art and not watercolor so much, but that's funny! I never thought about it. I appreciate you watching and leaving me a comment, Elin. :)

[@AnnickTochon-nv7op]

Diffuser en Français ?

[@JackiePeacock]

I’ll have to figure out how to do that as I’m not so sure but thank you for the suggestion and I will look into it.

[@sashas3332]

[@cathydoorten]

To bad and sad that you did not zoomed in for the rocks ,grass. and mountain. It is so small and hard to see what you are doing. But the look good from a far

[@JackiePeacock]

Ahh yes. This is an older video, so hopefully I’m getting better. Taking all feedback into consideration for future videos. I appreciate the honest feedback. 🌲

[@ElisaExplores]

Easy to just zoom the video ourselves. I zoom in on your paintbrush tip lol

[@yiwenyoga9617]

Thank you! I’m still practicing the trees and not liking mine. Practice makes perfect 😅

[@Bearwithme560]

Ditto! Love the synchronicity.

[@JackiePeacock]

When I first started painting trees I didn’t like them either. I painted a lot of trees that didn’t fit what I had in my imagination. I kept at it every day and eventually found a style I was happy with. However, I’m always tweaking and changing my trees, and half the time I love them and half the time I don’t. Haha the battle. I promise you you’ll end up painting your perfect tree. 🌲
