Want to learn a simple and effective way to create a pen and watercolor landscape sketch? In this beginner-friendly video, I’ll show you how to turn a landscape photo into a quick, energetic, and charming illustration.
We’ll work step by step using a Pigma Micron pen for the sketch and then build the watercolor in three easy washes:
1️⃣ A first wash of transparent color to set the mood
2️⃣ A second wash of shadow values for depth and strength
3️⃣ A final wash to enrich the colors where needed
This approach keeps things loose, fresh, and fun—perfect for practicing watercolor, improving your sketching skills, or simply enjoying a mindful creative break.
💡If you’ve ever wanted to try pen and wash landscapes, this video will give you the confidence to get started.
