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.

[@peterwoolleyartist]

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.

[@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.
