Watercolour Tip from PETER WOOLLEY: Shaping the Hills

[@maggs131]

Hands down you are one of the best watercolor artists on you tube and a very big inspiration and reason I started painting again, hope to see a lot more of you in the coming year. I'd love to see a slide show of some of your proudest works. That would be a great way to start 2017. =)

[@peterwoolleyartist]

Thank you for your very kind words, Maggs131. A slideshow isn't a bad idea at all... I'll give it some thought...

[@Artymei]

I love to watch your video presentations. The way you talk about painting triggers a desire to immediately start to paint. Be happy, successful and creative and make us more of these videos. Thank you.

Absolutely first rate teaching. Thnx. Beginners must feel so indebted to u. Do u wait for the previous coat to dry or u carry on wet on wet.?

Hi Satwinder - Thanks for the very kind comment - on this particular painting, each layer was allowed to dry before moving on.

At 2:30 can you also see the green creature with big feets and a long beak walking from right to left?

[@richatravelthroughmycanvas339]

amazing

[@oleksandrkozyr2434]

I watched it again. I’m trying to figure out how to paint hills in the desert. There are no walls or crop patterns and it turns out as flat land

[@peterwoolleyartist]

Even hills in a desert have light and dark areas - it's those contrasting/graduating values that enable us to perceive the dunes. I recommend drawing your desert out and shading in pencil, or painting it as a preliminary tonal study first, just so that you can identify where those contrasts are, and how they visually inform us of their three-dimensional properties. I hope that helps.
