The Watercolor Whimsical Secret to take your landscape paintings to the next level. Painlessly.

One of the things I love to paint most of all is a whimsical landscape. I've done quite a few of these over the last few years, and today it's time to do another one. Along the way I'll explain why I believe that creating whimsical art is the secret to making effortless and painless progress in watercolor (or any other medium) while leaving the stress and disappointment behind.
