  • This is a beginning watercolor tutorial showing how to paint a gradient sunset sky and mountains that recede in the background. This tutorial uses three colors - ultramarine blue, cadmium red medium, and cadmium yellow. If you don't have these exact colors, use something similar.
    The first step is to paint a gradient sky with ultramarine blue at the top thinned out to a pale blue. Then adding a smear of yellow and finishing the lower half of the painting with the cadmium red and blended together.
    The mountains are painted using ultramarine blue and cadmium red to create a blueish purple. Working bottom to top (or back to front) start painting a pale wash of a mountain and blend out the bottom where it hits the next mountain. After it is dry, continue painting each mountain layer in succession.

    Your color will mix better and will be more visible on a pallet that is roughed up plastic, or glass, or porcelain. Plastic has a coating that repels water.

  • @brothelho
    @brothelho 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Would you recommend stretching the paper first? Also, do you recommend a hard sizes paper?
    Love the tuts

    • @BridgetteMeinholdFineArt
      @BridgetteMeinholdFineArt  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Darlene Castro sure stretching certianly helps, especially as you use larger sized paper, but not necessary. I only stretch paper when I am working on a piece to sell or for something I will scan. As to hard paper? Not sure what you mean. Do you mean hot or cold pressed. I like both, but for different reasons.

    • @brothelho
      @brothelho 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bridgette Meinhold Fine Art Hard sized, from my understanding is paper that has the sizing added to the pulp before the paper is made. I believe Arches does this.

    • @BridgetteMeinholdFineArt
      @BridgetteMeinholdFineArt  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Darlene Castro I've never heard of it personally. Paper is pretty easy to size, so I don't think it's necessary to pay extra for it. But I'm sure it's all a personal preference. Use the materials you like and have fun with!

    Your work is beautiful! I love your tutorial am I am excited to try my first sunset water color! But, as a beginner, Please help me understand why the sky didn’t turn green when you added the yellow?!? The paper was wet and I thought the colors would just blend into each other.

    • @BridgetteMeinholdFineArt
      @BridgetteMeinholdFineArt  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think there is more of a space between the yellow and the blue, which I purposely did. Take note of a sunset sometime - it fades from blue to white then to yellow, orange and red.

    • @ginavaccaro840
      @ginavaccaro840 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bridgette Meinhold Fine Art Thank you for replying and for helping me understand! I’ve been studying sunsets and photographing them for quite awhile. I’m about to create my very first sunset water color. I tend to overthink things a bit :)

  • @OdessaMan77

    GREAT video, have watched about 7 times. My issues are this:
    1- my brushes keep leaving hairs on the canvas. They are new, is this normal? Or are my inexpensive brushes cheap?
    2-my paper buckles pretty severely if not taped down.
    3-when you load your brush, you seem to barely touch the paint, I try to mimic your movements and maybe my paint is lesser quality than yours, and my loading tends to be clumpy.
    P.S. I really like that you use cottage cheese containers for water. I use Quaker Oats instant oatmeal cups.

    • @BridgetteMeinholdFineArt
      @BridgetteMeinholdFineArt  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      1 - New brushes shouldn't lose their hairs. They might be low quality.
      2 - Paper does this. If this really bothers you, learn how to stretch or "size" your paper. Just google how to size watercolor paper
      3 - This is just practice. It might be helpful for you to have a scrap piece of paper handy to test your brush and see how it is "loaded" with pigment and water. Watercolor is all about the goldilocks moments and takes some patience.

    Really liked the tutorial and mine turned out beatiful except the intersection between the blue and yellow became muddy... Do you how you can prevent that?

    • @BridgetteMeinholdFineArt
      @BridgetteMeinholdFineArt  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Jasmine. Spend some time watching a sunset and you'll see that there is a gap of more white between the blue and the yellow. Leave some room in between these colors. Fade the blue to white and then start adding the yellow.
