🌅 Sunset Seaside Watercolor Sketch Tutorial (Patreon)

In this lesson, we will paint a glowing seaside sunset with soft reflections on the water, warm evening light, and bright coastal flowers in the foreground🌸

We begin with loose watercolor washes🎨 to create the sky and luminous sunset atmosphere. Then we gradually build the landscape, adding rocks, reflections, gentle waves, and expressive floral details.

This lesson is perfect for practicing atmosphere, light, and color harmony while keeping the watercolor fresh and airy.

In this lesson, you will learn:– how to paint a glowing sunset sky– how to create reflections on water– how to simplify a landscape without losing atmosphere– how to paint loose flowers with expressive brushstrokes

Suitable for both beginners and more experienced artists who want to create a peaceful and colorful seaside scene 🌿

Enjoy the process and let yourself travel to the coast through watercolor ✨
