How To Paint A Simple Moonlit Ocean on a Greeting Card

#landscapepainting #watercolorpainting #watercolorpostcard #paintingtechniques #watercolorpaint
In this video I demonstrate my process for painting a simple watercolor landscape/seascape of a full moon reflecting off the surface of the ocean.
I finally created a Facebook group for Poppa Paints. This will enable you to share your art and your thoughts. Here is the link: / poppapaints

Nice to meet you, too!

Thanks for the video. Beautiful paintings. I do watercolor painting cards and other size paintings. I also have an RV and I put some in my RV. And I give painted cards to my friends who have RVs and they hang them in their Rvs.

I like the impressionistic feel of your works. Very nice.

[@PoppaPaints]

Thank you. Yes, I fell in love with impressionism a few years ago. Prior to that I was always trying to make my art look almost like a photograph. Impressionism seems to be the right fit for me.

My thoughts about water color is that it is alive!

You're so welcome!

I just recently found your channel and I like your style. Art is poetry so it was wonderful listening. I have been creative my whole life but started watercolor painting last summer. It has been very relaxing. Some are successful and others not so much but it’s the process I love. Thank you for sharing your art and your thoughts.

[@PoppaPaints]

Oh yes. I agree. Mine, too, are sometimes better than others. And, yes, the process is probably my favorite part.

[@artistmama7]

Yes! Artists should encourage one another! Especially us greeting card artists because we clearly aren't in it for the money. It's a ministry. Yes, I started out using cotman watercolors and they are great. Next time I buy a pan set I might get the cotman.

Beautiful watercolor. Thanks Larry 😊

[@PattyHoughton]

This is one of my favorites of your paintings!! Do you preserve you paintings in any way??

[@PoppaPaints]

I put them in plastic sleeves before I give them as gifts. Thank you for writing.

[@artistmama7]

Pretty and calming

[@shirleyping7058]

It's beautiful.

[@fidelogos7098]

I am such a cheapskate! I bought card paper and watercolors and brushes to start but now I'm afraid to mess up the paper!

[@PoppaPaints]

That's funny. Just make it a good mess! Thank you for writing!
