Paint a Seascape using a Limited Palette | A Perfect Colour Mixing Exercise

Paint this seascape from the Isle of Skye using only 3 colours. Choose three primary colours from your palette and see how many colours you can mix from them; enough to paint this seascape - or anything you fancy!

Hi Lou, How nice to see you up with a lovely watercolor ~ Have a great week ahead !

[@LouDavis]

Thank you! You too!

[@LindaKing-nq6ut]

Lovely result with only three colours….also so many variations painted in your sketchbook beforehand 🙂🇨🇦

[@marielouisedavidson4834]

Lover this one! So glad you are back! Love your channel!

[@joantenenbaum1738]

I found it especially helpful that you included a sped-up painting process clip at the beginning of the video--which one can view quickly and repeatedly as a reminder or summary of the entire process!! Thank you!

[@LouDavis]

Thank you, Glad it was helpful!

[@stephaniecorbett5356]

Loved this… we've missed your tutorials. Thank you.

[@LouDavis]

Glad you like them!

[@katynorgate7135]

Thanks for a great tutorial. Inspiring me to stop my procrastination!! X

[@joantenenbaum1738]

Loved this-sea landscapes with headlands are favorites of mine!!

[@JenDogan]

So excited with this project. I’m going to have a go :)

[@LouDavis]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@craftergin]

Just beautiful! Great idea with the dry brushing on the sea! I have a photo of a similar coastline that I took several years ago. The headlands of the Point Reyes National Seashore near San Francisco. I think I'll try your techniques. I'll use just cool primaries too, but my colors will be very different what with the bluffs being sandstone. 😁

[@LouDavis]

Thanks! Good luck with your painting!

[@sarahstevenson2384]

Thanks Lou. If you dip your brush in liquid soap or rub it on a block of soap first, the masking fluid doesn’t clog your brush up. Thought I’d share that tip with you 😊

[@LouDavis]

Thanks for the tip!
