Thanks for watching this watercolour landscape tutorial for beginners. We only use two colours to create this beautiful landscape. I take you step by step through the whole painting so you can paint along with me step by step. If you want to go straight to where I start painting go to 6 minutes 30 seconds.
If you need any help or have any questions let me know in the comments below.
Happy painting!
This simple watercolour landscape was painted using two colours (cobalt blue and a mix of cobalt blue and light red). Simple techniques such as graduated washes, dry brushing, lifting out lights and using the spray bottle and razor to create interesting effects. Good luck! If you have any questions at all let me know in the comments below.

The three colours I will be using over the next 5 or more lessons will be yellow ochre, cobalt blue and light red. You could get these in any brand or quality but if you get them in Winsor & Newton Artist quality or Cotman then I know the quality will be good.

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)
I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.

Photo Editing - Affinity Photo: https://geni.us/AffinityPhoto
I use this for any photo editing that I might need to do such as stitching multiple scanned images of my original artwork together. It is a one off expense ($70 at time of writing this) rather than the monthly fee you have to pay with photoshop.
