We're awash with painting tutorials, here's one more! For fans of the forest and the moss. It's a thread. 😉#howto #landscapepainting #tutorials

When laying down the shadows, don't worry if the paint runs together a little. That can help make your painting look coherent. Just make sure your light layers are dry before adding the shadow.

Finally, here's a #timelapse of the whole thing. I hope this was helpful. Materials: Watercolor sketch book, Pencil, Cotman pocket watercolors, Holbein Gouache paints and various small flat brushes and round brushes. Happy to answer any questions or comments. 😊

"Don't panic!"
there's always as stretch of time in the middle of every painting where it looks awful. Don't rush it. Just lay down your shapes and colors. It will all come together in the final layers when you are putting in the highlights and feeling great!

I use this method for digital painting too.
