Let it flow watercolour landscape
Do you have a hard time starting your page? Want to loosen up?
Try quickly drawing your landscape composition with your non-dominant hand. Notice in the video how I hold the pencil with my left hand and that I point it down, like I’m stirring a pot. Then play with layers of watercolour paint. Try different brushes, round and square ones, soft and stiffer brushes. Play with a variety of brushstrokes that go in different directions to. Quiet your inner critic, and just have fun!
