Beginner Friendly Desert Landscape in Watercolors | 2025 - 12

Colorado and Utah desert landscapes are so beautiful and I love trying to reproduce them in my artwork. They are also relatively easy to paint and that's why I think this is a great process for beginners. With watercolors or any type of creative process, I believe the more simple we keep our marks and shapes, the better. I hope you will join me in painting a little landscape of your own.

** MY WEBSITE is LIVE! I'm excited to share it with you: https://www.gabrielleannacormierart.com.**

** We are living through unprecedented times in our country. It is up to us to take a stand when many of our leaders are letting us down. Together, we can make a difference - all we need to do is choose to take a step forward. It can be hard to decipher where to get trust worthy information. I have attended many presentations from Red Wine and Blue and I see them as friends and allies. This presentation is a good place to start:    • Disinfo 101: How to Spot It, Stop It, and ...  . I'd also like to invite you to check their conversations with Tia Levings and Timothy Snyder. They have become one of my beacons in the darkness. **

Here’s a LIST OF MATERIALS I used for this painting: *** My channel is monetized. By watching some commercials, I can get a small commission for posting my creative content. This also means I can be affiliated to certain companies to use their links for the products I use. When you make a purchase using some of these links I will get a small commission. (This includes YouTube Shopping links you may see during my video.) At the moment, I am transitioning to working only with companies that are open to the beauty of our diverse world. Until this is established, you will probably see fewer links in my video description and in my videos. If you are looking for other ways to support me and my channel, please visit my website. Most of the artwork I create here is available for sale. Thank you for your support in keeping this community open and welcome to all!***:
