How to paint a cottage in watercolour with a limited palette, minimalist impressionist style

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

A quick, simple painting that can be copied by a beginner or intermediate painter. The original photograph is available on my web site:
www.shirleypeters.com.au/yout...
PAINTS
For this painting, I used warm (yellow and browns), cool (blues and violet) and greys (moon glow and lamp black).
Beware of super strong colours, like phalo green. Avoid them! Test your colours before you start.
BRUSHES
My big brush comes in a set of 6:

    The music on here was not distracting at all. Thank you for walking through your whole process. And talking about the reason for doing what you’re doing…saving hard lines…and losing them. And I like using white gauche. Because it is impossible for me to think about for every possible place I need to save . I am not that experienced. This is a lovely painting ❤️

    Except for the music, a nice lesson. The music does not help your lessons. No teacher in a classroom puts on sleep inducing music. It’s such a distraction. Unfortunately, along with Timelapse, it’s quite a discouraging trend right now with KZread artists. I have no idea why you are following the trend.

    If you don’t like her format, a very easy fix is turn off your sound, and put on closed captions. Problem fixed. Everyone has different preferences.
