Line and Wash Sketching Series | BEACH Watercolor Painting Tutorial [4 paintings!]

Get ready for #inktober in this Full-Length (with voice-over) Line and Wash painting tutorial! I will show you how to paint four different simple beach landscapes in watercolor. Each painting takes approximately 10 minutes to complete - and increases in difficulty through each painting. This is intended to be a casual and fun exercise, so just enjoy yourself and keep things simple! It's very important for artists to practice their techniques and skills - often we 'save it all up' for a big painting and realize that we haven't practiced simple techniques such as dry brush or flat washes enough beforehand. So no pressure, let's just give this a go, and you can experiment with your own techniques throughout this tutorial - no need to follow me exactly!

Sketching - My Simple two step method with two brushes:
1) Using a 3/4 flat brush or smaller, add a thin wash of your lighter values to the sky, sea and land. Don’t worry if they mix a little. While this wash is still wet, introduce some slightly darker pigment wet-in-wet to indicate clouds, waves, variations in sand texture.

2) Once the previous wash has dried, add all the darker values with your flat brush and a size 4-8 round brush. The corner of your flat brush can be used to add small details too.
Paper: Winsor and Newton Sketchbook (100% cotton)
Paint: Daniel Smith (mainly lemon yellow, cobalt blue, pyrrole red)
Brushes: 3/4 flat brush or smaller, 4-6 round brush
