This is a simple watercolour landscape tutorial for beginners. It only uses a few colours and uses simple techniques of flat wash, graduated wash and then some charging of areas. I hope you enjoy this video. You could of course use different colours and paint different landscapes.

Good luck and let me know how you get on!

Happy Painting!

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)

I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.
