3 Shapes That Fix any Watercolour landscape Painting
In this loose impressionistic harbour watercolour tutorial, I show you how to simplify a busy coastal scene using strong composition, clear value shapes and confident brushwork. This step-by-step demo focuses on organising the painting into three main shapes — sky, land and water — to create a design that holds together beautifully. I explain my decisions as I paint so you understand why things work, not just how to copy them. If you want to paint stronger, simpler landscapes with more confidence, this lesson will help. 🖌️ Outline drawing available on my website to help you paint along. 🎨 The original painting and other artworks are also available for sale on my website. Perfect for watercolour artists who want to improve composition, values and loose painting techniques. ⏱️ Chapters (8) 00:00 Introduction & Painting Goals 02:00 Sky Wash & Cloud Shapes 05:00 Establishing Land & Roof Colours 08:00 Seawall & Connecting Shapes 12:30 Distant Trees & Depth 17:30 Strengthening Values & Shadows 23:00 Boats, Reflections & Movement 35:00 Final Details & White Gouache Highlights 🎨 Materials & Colours Used Paper 140lb Rough Watercolour Paper (Waterford) Brushes Mop Brush Size 9 (Tintoretto/Tintorello) Escoda Perla Size 8 Escoda Size 12 Small detail brushes (Size 6–8) Size 2 Rigger (Escoda Ultimo) Paints Lavender Cerulean Blue Cobalt Turquoise French Ultramarine Cadmium Yellow Raw Sienna Burnt Sienna Cadmium Red Hooker’s Green Sap Green Payne’s Grey Neutral Tint White GouacheInstagram- / gerryludlowartwork website - https://www.gerryludlowart.com #artist #watercolours#landscapes##Watercolour #WatercolorPainting #HarbourArt #ArtInstruction #PaintingTutorial #WatercolourTechniques #ArtForBeginners #AcrylicVsWatercolour #HarbourScene #ArtCommunity #CreativeProcess #PaintingTips #WatercolourArtists #ArtInspiration #DIYArt #ArtEducation #LandscapePainting #WatercolourWorkshop #ArtisticJourney #PaintingWithWatercolour #ArtLovers #WatercolourChallenge #ArtisticExpression #HarbourView #WatercolourClass #ArtTutorial #PaintingIdeas #WatercolourSkills #ArtisticSkills #LearnToPaint
