#1 Mistake Beginners Make: Skipping Color Tests & Sketches💡My Approach

Before starting a landscape, I like to slow down and prepare.
In this video, I share my simple preparation process:
– testing color mixes
– making small sketch options
– creating a light pencil sketch

Many beginners skip this step, but preparation helps you see the idea more clearly, feel more confident, and enjoy the painting process without rushing.

This isn’t about perfection — it’s about understanding color, mood, and composition before the final painting begins.

I’m sharing my personal approach — maybe it will help you find yours too 🌿
Thank you for watching and painting with me.
