🌸🏔️Alps in Spring Watercolor Sketch Tutorial (Patreon)

The results of our poll are in and this beautiful scene won the vote. Thank you so much to everyone who took part and helped choose our next lesson. I love doing these together with you because it makes the process feel even more alive and collaborative.

In this lesson we will paint a bright spring landscape in the Alps. A powerful mountain peak rises above fresh green hills while the foreground is filled with lively spring flowers. It is a wonderful subject for practicing watercolor sketching with depth light and fresh color.

During the lesson I will show you how to build a landscape step by step how to keep the mountains light and airy and how to paint expressive flowers in the foreground without overworking the details. We will work with contrasts between the cool sky the snowy mountain and the warm colorful meadow so the whole scene feels fresh and full of life.

This kind of landscape is very enjoyable to paint and it is a great exercise for both beginners and more experienced artists. Take your sketchbook prepare your paints and let’s travel to the Alps together🎨🏔️🌸
