How To Paint A Beautiful Ink & Watercolour Snow Landscape, loose watercolor Christmas Card Tutorial

/ loisdavidsonart www.etsy.com/uk/shop/OwlsAndF... Today's demo could easily be used for a Christmas card design, it is a line & wash painting tutorial for a wonderful Snowy landscape scene inspired by a photo from Pixabay pixabay.com/photos/winter-lan...
I used Faber Castell waterproof fine liner pens, and a permanent Sharpie for the linework.
The linework creates nearly all the scene here, with minimal painting using Cotman raw and burnt sienna and a touch of paynes grey. My board is at an angle of about 45 degrees tilt.
My paper is 100% cotton Saunders Waterford, hot pressed, 140lb/300g weight, 11" x 15"/28cm x 38cm. Thanks for watching, and happy painting!

Thanks so much for your kind words and happy painting!

[@winston99999]

@@LoisDavidsonArt wow what a response I got from my tutor and the rest of the class. It was my first go at pen and wash and the outcome was better than I anticipated. I have mentioned your name to most of the class and I am sure they will be hooked on your style and the way you conduct your tutorials. Keep producing your tutorials as they inspire me to keep up the passion for watercolour painting. Thank you so much.

Спасибо большое вам, очень красиво! 🙏🌺🌺🌺

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks so much 💕

[@grahamnash9794]

A clever hand make all thing look simple?easy. The sketch is beyond my current level. But I can simplify it, and go from there. Some of your more abstract work has pulled me in to the point of trying my self. I have one little issue, little is the key word, all the paper I have is slightly bigger than a postcard. Very restricting when there's a need to really express yourself. I've tried a few times on smaller paper, and it's looking quite nice, but I still feel as though everything is cooped up inside. Bigger sheets are written in ink on my letter to santa this year... Wonderful demo. Looking forward to trying this tomorrow. TTFN.

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks Graham, I think you will find it easier to experiment more freely on larger paper, let's hope Santa pays a visit eh?

[@germanhidalgo1181]

Hola tus obras están muy hermosas

[@envynathan1]

Very educative. What type of pen was used for the line drawing. Was that any special water colour pen, or normal Luxor or Softliner drawing pen can be used. Will appreciate your guidance.

[@lizzyanne314]

I don't have Paynes grey or burnt Sienna . I can make the grey but what about the Sienna. What colors would come close to making this?

[@blarneyri2691]

Lois, what brand of pencil are you using to sketch the outline? Love this video.

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Its a Koh I Noor versatil 5.6mm clutch pencil

[@cherylgeiger-paul3018]

Thank you Lois, this is my first time watching you, and I am so inspired! Where can I find the link to your reference photo?

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks, it’s in the description below the video, click on the small arrow to the right on your phone to see info and links

[@brunovillers24]

Hello Lois, can you give me the mark of your pens because i think the ink does not dilute with water. Thank you for your reply. Bruno in France

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Hi Bruno, they are Faber Castell Pit Artists Pen fineliners, and a Sharpie
