  Step 1

  Take your watercolour paper and tape it off into sections. This will create our series of landscapes.

• 

  Step 2

  Find some photos of landscapes you find pleasing. You can choose several or just one that we can modify into a series. Sometimes cropping an image helps to simplify your painting.

• 

  Step 3

  Draw a few details in pencil for your landscapes.

• 

  Step 4

  Using just a few colours of watercolour, paint your landscape scenes. Focus on the dark and light areas. Do not worry about small details just look at the big shapes.

• 

  Step 5

  This is a great exercise for beginners and kids.

• 

  Step 6

  If using just one photo try altering where the horizon line is in each painting. Maybe one on a diagonal, one up high, one down low, etc.

• 

  Step 7

  Try doing a few different sets of these mini landscapes.

• 

  Step 8

  When finished remove tape and cut into 4 individual paintings. You can now display these on a painted canvas or piece of wood. I also like to buy frames that allow for multiple photos and frame my landscape collections.

  Step 9

  These are a great addition to your home.
