How to Paint a Bright Coastal Scene in Watercolour | Depth and Atmosphere | Loose Style

This vibrant, peaceful, and summery scene is an impression of the landscapes I am surrounded by here where I live on the beautiful east coast of Australia. I have already created similar scenes, so I start with a plan in mind, which makes the painting process more relaxing - I can simply focus on playing with colour and texture without spending my energy on balancing the composition. I will demonstrate a variety of techniques to create a strong focal point and visual interest.
