Simple Watercolor Paintings for Beginners
This is a collection of simple watercolor paintings which help teach a beginner basic watercolor painting techniques. Often the difference between complex or difficult watercolor paintings is just the size of the artwork. The smaller you paint the easier you will find it when you are new to painting with watercolors.
Here are some other points which make a watercolor painting easier to do. Limit the number of watercolor paints used. This means you can concentrate on tones and shapes rather than colors. Also reduce the variety of shapes in your watercolor painting. This makes it easier for you as you don’t have to concentrate so mach on your drawing skills. Nor will you have to try to quickly paint around complex shapes.
All of the above points make a watercolor painting easier to do. Each point allows you to paint quicker. This reduces the chance of your paper drying too fast which is what usually causes beginner watercolor artists the most trouble. Often they are not even aware that this is the root cause of their problems.
I hope you find these simple watercolor paintings useful. They are part of my beginners watercolor guide series.
