How To Paint A Simple Beginners Watercolour Seascape With Gulls, Easy Watercolor Landscape Tutorial

/ loisdavidsonart www.etsy.com/u... In this video I'm painting a very simple loose, semi-abstract seascape, suitable for beginners or intermediates, it just takes a bit of practice to get used to the paint and water ratios, the flow of water in wet in wet techniques, and leaving slivers of unpainted paper for the distant waves and reflections on the sand.
My board is tilted at around 45 to 60 degrees so the water and paint flows nicely.
Materials:
Millford 100% cotton paper cold pressed 11" x 15"/28cm x 38cm
Prussian blue, paynes grey, burnt umber, various brushes, see videp, but please use whatever brushes and colours you prefer!

That's watercolor wizardry - magical brushes - mystical paints. No, that’s clever Lois with a clean sheet of paper, some brushes, and twelve minutes to spare. Fantastic work!

I love the birds. The eye can "fill them in" really easily. So simple, yet so effective! I can smell the sea and the air! Great work, Lois! :)

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Thanks Margaret, I love the simple approach, so much less intimidating for beginners

[@Savvypriya]

I just loved this painting so much that I had to try. So, I bought a hake brush especially for this. Although I had to do a second wet on wet layer as I had put the colors really light, the final result was somehow good. I still need more practice with the hake brush. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@christineellis9943]

So beautiful and you make it LOOK so easy but I just can't use a hake brush (yet). I just end up with a sea of watery paint! Hope to master it one day.

[@eleniphotos]

Fantastic! You make it look so easy....but it's not.

[@beverlymiles9793]

What dictates whether you use burnt umber or sepia?

[@LoisDavidsonArt]

Burnt Umber is warmer and richer, whereas my Cotman sepia is darker and more neutral, however, I use either of them without worrying about that whenever I need a brown as for me tonal value and contrast is more important than colour

[@rameshbandekar1557]

Beautiful.Thank you very much for the demonstration Los.
