Paint with Me: a Layered Landscape

Last week on the blog I shared a preview of a landscape series I worked on for a local display. This week you’re invited to paint along with me! Here are a few things you can grab to prepare:

SUPPLIES

  • jar of water
  • paper towel for blotting
  • watercolor paints. I am using this set in the video.*
  • flat and rounded brushes
  • watercolor paper or a sketchbook
  • pastels for layering. In the video, I am using chalk pastels like this.* I also often use NuPastels,* which get creamy when dipped in water.
  • pencil. I prefer the Tombow 6B.*

THE VIDEO

I hope you enjoyed the video! I’d love to see what you create. You can tag me on Instagram or Facebook!

I'm back in Luke! I'm excited to pick back up wher I'm back in Luke! I'm excited to pick back up where I left off in my study of Luke. I'm drawing inspiration from art in the Christian tradition and guidance from Bible scholarship. This week I'm recapping an introduction to Luke with a fun coloring page inspired by art from a 13th century Bible manuscript.
