Steps

Preparation and Materials

Gather all materials: watercolour paints, brushes (large and small), water jars, watercolour paper, and a pencil or paper pen to sketch basic outlines.

Sketch Basic Outline

Use a light pencil or paper pen to draw a simple landscape on the watercolour paper, like mountains, trees, and sea.

Mix Colours and Test

Dip the brush in water, take colour from the watercolour palette and test on scrap paper how the colour changes with water amount.

Paint the Sky

Start by painting the sky with light blue tones, using lots of water to get a soft and light background.

Add Mountains and Trees

Use darker colours and less water to paint the mountains and trees, using smaller brushes for details.

Let the Painting Dry

Allow the painting to dry completely before touching or adding more colours.

Final Effects and Details

Add small details like shadows, water reflections, or other effects with a dry brush or white watercolour.
