Paint with me landscape watercolor tutorial (social distancing edition)

I almost didn’t post this one because it felt a bit chaotic with four sets of hands and arms and chatter, but friends say to post it, so here goes!

Like most of you, my kids are home with me for . . . how long? I spent the first week of this alternating between doomsday scenarios, panic, and mentally checking out in a deluge of news and Facebook posts. I’m still checking the news, but I’m trying to feed my soul and get quiet enough to hear what Jesus would say to me in all of this. I hope that you can hear Him too. He is the living water and the bread of life. Staples for a shutdown.

The national parks are offering free admission because of the COVID-19 shutdowns, so we had the great privilege to drive up to Skyline drive this past week and take a hike down to a gorgeous waterfall. My soul needed it. I enjoyed my kids so much.

We painted this watercolor tutorial for you to follow along. Here are some things you might want to have on hand before you start the video:

  • jar of water
  • paper towel for blotting
  • watercolor paints. We use something like this* in the video (ours came from Michael’s).
  • your favorite brushes (I like one rounded brushes with tips like these**).
  • printed template that you can download HERE. We are using watercolor paper (like this* ) but you could use plain paper or even old book pages. 
  • landscape photo (you can print mine HERE)
  • the video HERE or below:

We’d love to see what you create! Send us a picture at mary@marydeandraws.com or tag us on Instagram or Facebook @marydeandraws.
