I am so thankful to Sarah, Keenan and the LMA gang for freely giving us the gift of art! 🥰 Y’all rock my world. Happy Thanksgiving to the entire LMA family. 🦃🙏🏽
I love your tutorials! I have NO watercolor background at all! My first time ever painting. I got the November box and I this is my 3 rd paint. I cam able to follow you but I have to go back many times. It would be helpful for people like me to let us know in advance some of the skills we need to practice ahead of time and what tutorial to watch. For example how to make trees or leaves. I would practice before painting the landscape. Just a suggestion! I have been home bound due to a serious foot surgery so I decided to take advantage of this time and learn something new. I am really bad but I have fun! Thanks !
This is great feedback Marissa! We will see what we can do to share ahead some of the concepts that would be helpful to practice and see if we can't get some video or photos to help support that. So sorry to hear about your foot. We sincerely hope it is healing well.
@@LetsMakeArt I like the whole box. My Moose turned out so friendly looking and my 13 year old really liked the landscape. I did the leaves as a card and did it for each season. It was a really fun box. I wish I had done it ages ago instead of this week! (I did the leaves when I got the box but the other three I did this week).
I love the reflection on the river, but I really struggled with the foliage, and the hardest part was making the place where the trees meet the ground look good.
Hello there! Thank you for painting the Autumn River with us. We're so glad you gave it a try! If you have any specific questions we can help you with, could you please email us at hello@letsmakeart.com? We'd be happy to help! Thank you!
Great video. I suggestion mention your newsletter I really love it Especially if I miss one of your videos I can go back and look for it and check for new supplies
One of my favourite LMA tutorials, love the explanation on depth and perspective. Thanks Sarah & Keenan, hope to see more of such landscape tutorials in the future!
I may have missed it but what kind of tape are you using here? It seems to lift of easily without tearing your paper. This painting is beautiful by the way. Thanks for this.
This is probably a very basic question, but what's the purpose of transfering outline with the tracing paper? Is there a problem with sketching the outline directly on the watercolor paper?
If you are comfortable sketching the outline directly, totally go for it. The biggest benefit of transferring and outline is if you aren't comfortable drawing or sketching.
A square would definitely work! I'm sure an oval would, too. The ovals I've seen seem to hold more water and I struggle with water control so I personally would avoid the oval hahaha!
It can't hurt to try! Sarah likes to use the round brushes because they allow such a variety in use. You can get a wider swath with the belly of the brush or thiner by using the tip.
I love this, but I can't get past the white sky - to me it really needs some sort of at least a suggestion of a sky. How would you add a sky? A light wash ? one of the first steps?

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
More landscapes like this please. So fun to get creative with.
Noted! We will make sure to add that to our request list.
You are a great teacher Sarah! I love how you run us though the steps and you explain why you do the things you do! Thank you!

This was surprisingly satisfying! And bonus, I just finished another subscription box!
Love it! What box did you just complete?
@@LetsMakeArt This one. The Crisp and Cozy one.
@@mandypittman1154 so fun!! What was your favorite project from our Crisp & Cozy box?

That's a great idea!
Love this so much! Feels like something I'd see in NC. :)
Now that you say that, it totally does!
Amazing 🤩 Special thanks for the detailed explanations, I learned a lot from it, and thank you for sharing 💖
Glad you enjoyed it!

More to come!
This was one of my favorite paintings! ❤️
I'm so glad!
Love this! Thank you Sarah
You are so welcome!
Sarah, you make everything look so easy and inspire me. I've learned so much from you. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the team!
Thank you! You too!

Sarah is using Holbein Soft Tape. You can find it on the website here: www.letsmakeart.com/products/holbein-soft-tape-1-2-width

@@LetsMakeArt That makes sense. Thank you.
Could you use a larger oval or square brush instead of the round 12?
A square would definitely work! I'm sure an oval would, too. The ovals I've seen seem to hold more water and I struggle with water control so I personally would avoid the oval hahaha!

Yes, a light wash before your trees go in.
&ow about a picture of a Dragon?
