How to Paint a Watercolor Landscape for Beginners - the easy way to get started - NO DRAWING NEEDED!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- Let’s practice together my easy to master techniques for painting a simple landscape that looks real - a sunny sky with fluffy clouds, rolling hills and lines of trees to give perspective. I will take away the fear of landscape painting many of us have built up through making things too complicated. In this video we simplify things to make them do-able and show also how to mix the best colors for your greens and distant hills. You might also enjoy the book Watercolor Wanderlust by Hannah M. Pickerill which I highly recommend for learning to paint watercolor landscapes:

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...

Your painting is just lovely Diane. Thank you. You have a very relaxed style to your painting - i will look forward to giving this a go soon! It's great to listen to you talk away while your painting too!
You make me feel better Diane because I'm a perfectionist and you can't be when your watercolor painting. I like your landscape painting I think you did a beautiful job.
I love painting landscapes, sometimes they work sometimes not 🙈 but there you go 😅 Really enjoy watching your videos and listening to you, thank you Diane 😊
What a wonderful landscape! It will be the next painting I try. I love your info about mixing colors….and not using colors like green out of the tube. Thank you, Diane! You’re the best!
Omg! This is beautiful! I love the foreground but the paintings you showed in the beginning of the video I really loved the sky in the second to the last picture. That was the best sky I've ever seen of any artist. Thanks Diane 😊 ❤
I agree second to last (before the framed one) was my favorite. So 3 dimensional! ❤
Thank you so much 😀
You create such peaceful and quiet environments with ease. Thanks for the caution to leave some undeveloped spot to let the eye rest. I appreciate the advice to blend or mix the colors even in the same distance areas to make things more believable. Lovely result!!
Thank you so much!
It is so funny that skies turn out different every time you attempt one. 😄I so look forward to painting with you. Thanks much
My pleasure 😊
This was a wonderful change of pace. Thanks, Diane!
This is stretching me in a good way! I always painted land and water scapes in acrylic before so now I’m relearning as it were, in watercolor! Yours is wonderful!
What a lovely landscape painting and so much valuable information. 🙏💜
Thank you for sharing your talent and I look forward to your videos so much. I also love your respect for nature and our environment.
Thank you so much!
Everything you said in this video is so helpful to me! I will be watching it over again and take notes. You make me relax and learn about the right way to paint. I hope to be able to try it soon, even though things are so very busy right now at our house. Thank you Diane!😊❤
Thank you for this video. You brought up "don't center your mountain" I didn't know this and some other things you mentioned this time. Thank You!
Glad it was helpful! There are so many things to share, more coming soon!
Thank you again Diane for your no nonsense approach to watercolour. I loved the one with the big fluffy 3D clouds, please show us how to do those 😊x
Coming soon!
Loved this video - maybe I'll get back into landscapes 🎉
This was great! You make landscapes seem doable!!❤❤
This is a fabulous and extremely helpful tutorial. many thanks for this!
Glad it was helpful! I enjoyed doing it (ten times!)
Wow i wished I could do clouds like this !! Beautiful landscape!!
Thank you so much for the kind words on my book Diane! Your paintings are absolutely gorgeous! ❤ I hadn’t seen Joe Dowden’s work before, but I’m flattered by the comparison and I’ll definitely be checking out his work!
Hi Hannah, lovely to hear from you! I’ve watched you since you started on TikTok (I think I might have said that in the video) and I’m so impressed with how you have developed your work and your online presence, and on top of that a lovely book (which must have been a HUGE amount of work!!) I hope it’s selling well. Don’t take it the wrong way, I don’t want to sound patronising, but I want to say I think you have a huge amount of talent and I expect you’ll make a big impact in the watercolor world throughout your life. (I think you’re better than Joe Dowden, but he is (or was) a master of color used in a bold way!!) Take care and happy painting! Diane x
Landscape painting awesome diamw❤❤❤❤
It is a lovely painting. I will definitely be trying it. Mine never looks as good as yours but I’m trying to improve my techniques. Thank you Diane. Always enjoy the conversation too. Take care.
Thank you! I actually am ready for a change! Love it!💕
Wonderful!
I think it is absolutely lovely.
Love that sky! Oh boy! I'm learning so much here.
Wonderful to hear, thanks Karen!
This is very lovely Diane. Thank you.
Love this landscape tutorial really inspiring me to try landscaping again. As a result of all your various tutorials you have taught me so many techniques which l would never have attempted. Thank you
Great to hear!
Oh yes! Thank you for showing a landscape. So helpful. It's gorgeous too. Thanks too for the recommended books. Mx
You are so welcome!
Love this, thankyou Diane. Great idea starting small, definitely not as daunting. The way you did the sky was so 'no fuss' and it looks brillant....so effective! 😀
You are so welcome! You can do it too!😊
Thank you do much for that tutorial, Diane. I live in Exmoor and the landscape is rolling hills and big skies. The colours you showed us will make a very useful base for me. I have learned so much today. Cracking tutorial!
Glad it was helpful! I used to live in Exeter so I know the landscape well! Lovely inspiring countryside to paint.
Thank you Diane for doing this landscape. I enjoy all your tutorials and I ordered this book from your link. My daughter loves cats and I have been working on whimsical paintings for her for Mother's Day. Your channel has helped me to improve and loosen up with my painting. You are a true GEM in the watercolor world. I also purchased the book from your link. I also ordered The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden such a beautiful book full of beautiful watercolor paintings.
Wonderful! So glad it was helpful and wishing you both a happy Mother’s Day x
@@DianeAntoneStudio Thank you Diane and Happy Mother's Day to you as well.
OMG beautiful painting. I will be trying this. Thank you Diane for showing this. I would love to see more. 😊
More to come!
It's so pretty with all those shades of green.
Thankyou, love all your work!! Very helpful as well!
This is so beautiful, thank you Diane. I love the clouds. Will definitely give it a try. ❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you for showing how the different paints worked out on the same type of paper! Loved this landscape, and all your tips ❤
You are so welcome!
Just beautiful- do more with mixing paint- I really enjoyed that❤
Thank you! Will do!
Thanks for starting to add some new landscape tutorials! This one is lovely.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the inspiring tutorial! I love to see you paint! You always have useful advice about various aspects of painting.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the instruction and inspiration, Diane.
You are so welcome!
I follow her on tictok I love her paintings too ❤
This is lovely. I've never painted a landscape, thought them to be quite the effort for this newbie but your steps are very simplistic and produce a great little painting. I can see so many places to make a lot of little variations and come up with a dozen different pictures from the same foundation.....if that makes any sense LOL. Thanks for sharing this, Diane
Glad it was helpful Kathy, and that’s exactly what I was hoping for!
Absolutely lovely ❤ Thank you D.
Thank you for painting
landscapes! They are a favorite of mine. I would absolutely love to see how you would paint the stone walls you mentioned. I tried the other day, and I really struggled with perspective and texture. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, time, and talent.
I will try adding a stone wall to the next landscape we do. We can gradually practice different features as we learn x
You are the best. Thank you!!
This is so gorgeous, I love it ☺☺
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for doing a landscape. Landscapes are what I am most interested in but most of the people that I enjoy watching paint flowers so.
My pleasure! It’s just the algorithm of TH-cam. Landscapes are hard to get views on. So if more people watch them, I can do more! This one has shown me that it is possible, so I’ll keep on doing landscapes - just for you !!
@@DianeAntoneStudio Me toooo😂🤪
@@DianeAntoneStudio Thank you! 💜
Love that painting. I've been trying to capture pendle hill in lancs england. I'm a beginner and found it difficult but you've inspired me with this.
Wonderful!
“I think it’s fabulous”. Thanks for all the tips.
You are so welcome!
Very nice. Love the variation of greens! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for the wonderful book recommendations!
You're so welcome!
Thanks for sharing …love it
Very nice. Thank you.
Oh, how fun and just beautiful!!!! Thank you, Diane!
You are so welcome!
Beautiful
Thanks! That was great!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for that 😀
You are so welcome❤️
Que chévere tener ese libro se ve muy completo
Si, es un libro muy interesante para todos las que quieren aprender a pintar las plantas. Se puede comprarlo facilmente de Abebooks.
Hello Diane, long time no talk. Wow! a landscape. It looks tempting. I might try it soon. Thank you so very much for the awesome tutorial.
Hope all of you are well.
Please say "hi" to Tamzin (sorry if I misspelled it again). I hope that she is ok. (Sorry, I have not been in touch because I have been busy painting with acrylics). Please tell her that I really miss her videos. Hope that she starts making them again.
Hugs to you all.
Eve
Hi Eve and so glad to hear from you again! Tamsin has been a bit quiet on the From the Garden channel I know, she’s been very busy with the big channel and with actual gardening, but she took a long one last night which I’m trying to post so watch out for a walk with the dog soon!
@@DianeAntoneStudio Hello Diane. Thank you for responding. I just saw the video. Hurray! Hope she takes short films of her beautiful garden.
Blessings to both of you.
A beautiful landscape painting. Does the advice you gave (given from another artist) on leaving a blank space, only apply to a landscape painting? Hope you do more landscapes. Thanks ❤
Following
Hi Karen and Kathy, yes, I think it’s good advice which many artists overlook, either deliberately or otherwise. The artist was Roland Hilder. He was an exceptionally gifted draftsman and I have a book by him that you might enjoy called Starting with Watercolour. It’s not what we call a beginner’s book nowadays, being jam-packed with not only detailed advice on how to draw and paint but also the history of watercolour painting and much much more. On page 126 he said “Having recently looked at a number of watercolours by beginners, I was struck by the fact that most of the painters overfilled their pictures, packing almost the whole picture area with confused, fussy detail. The first rule, then that I put forward for your consideration (although it should not be taken as gospel) is that you keep a fair sized, flat open area in your picture as a restful space. It will set off and add significance to the other parts of the picture.” Heartily recommend this book and the constant reading of it, to anyone who is serious about wanting to learn to paint. (He was born in New York in 1905 but spent his adult life in England, mostly in Kent). I found a copy of it available from Awesome Books dot com here www.awesomebooks.com/book/9780906969854/starting-with-watercolour/used?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwouexBhAuEiwAtW_Zx0hYEsUKqW7hIasmx_IEDGbbyb5H40yfz0rnYu5tQJ32zvErj8ZfKBoC74kQAvD_BwE for just three dollars.
I never heard the neighbors but that rooster is loud. He's quite a crower.
