Pine Tree Meadow
1. On watercolor paper sketch in a base drawing. Don't get too detailed
2. Create a sky. Use blue and purple wash. Dab out the white part with a paper towel
3. Use blues and purple for the most distant mountains – add some white highlights. Now with a light color paint in the valley in front of the mountains.
4. Work all the way forward with a grassy green. Keep the center lightest. Then Dab in the furthest bushes. Notice how these bushes overlap right up into the mountains.
5. Add dark color variations here and there to the bushes.
6. Make a few pine trees on each side. Notice how high the tree tops go up!
Hint: Don’t make perfect Christmas trees!
They will look much more natural if you make them imperfect!
7. Add dark green to the base of the trees,
then use the dark green to paint in the cast shadows.
