In this week’s tutorial, I walk you through my full process for painting a beginner-friendly watercolor fall scene, from the initial pencil sketch all the way to building depth and detail through layers. 👩🎨
This project is perfect for anyone looking to strengthen core watercolor skills like wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, layering, and color mixing. It’s a wonderful opportunity to practice creating luminous results while learning how to avoid overworking your paintings.
I hope you enjoy this one and find it super helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments below. 💙
