In this tutorial, I'll walk through an easy fall mountain painting that anyone can try. Using just five colors from Daniel Smith and Holbein, I'll demonstrate step by step how to build this scene with simple techniques. You'll see how to use wet on wet, dry brushing, and wet on dry to create depth and texture. This video is beginner-friendly and a great way to practice using a limited earthy palette.

Misty Forest Painting: Techniques for Creating Atmosphere and Depth
This mini watercolor course is for artists drawn to moody landscapes and evergreen forests who want to create depth, softness, and atmosphere with intention.
You’ll learn essential watercolor techniques used throughout a misty forest painting—including creating mist, building layered forests, shaping evergreen trees, and my signature spray bottle technique that transforms your trees. Then, follow along with a complete start-to-finish demonstration as everything comes together in one cohesive forest moodscape.
