Add Life to a Boring Landscape | How to get started with Watercolor Painting | Beginner's Guide

Join Steve Krueger in Part 6 of his beginner watercolor series as he shows how to breathe life into a dull landscape. In this in-depth demo, Steve works through a grassy meadow scene using Canson XL paper, experimenting with cadmium orange, Hooker’s green, burnt sienna, and more. He shares practical tips like how to use a spray bottle for texture, how to fix watercolor mistakes, and how to create contrast and blooms using layering techniques.
