Welcome to this tutorial on how to add vibrant textures to your watercolor landscapes! In this step by step, we will explore simple and effective techniques to give depth and realism to your works using textures. We will learn how to manipulate watercolor paint using the spray bottle and water as the main vehicle. We will begin by understanding the fundamentals of watercolor and how its unique characteristics can be used to create texture effects. Then, each section of the landscape will focus on specific techniques that will help simulate reflections, rocks, and water. By the end of the tutorial, you will not only have improved your watercolor skills, but you will also have created a beautiful work full of nuances and details that capture the essence of nature. Get ready to experiment and have fun while exploring the world of watercolor textures! I suggest you do a first test with an inexpensive paper to internalize all the steps. And with clearer ideas, repeat it with a good paper. If you also want to exaggerate the texture with the sprayer and water, I would recommend using a paper with little grain. This way the texture will be much more interesting. MATERIALS: WATERCOLOUR: Daniel Smith (Lunar black and Payne grey) BRUSH SET: Herend Brushes PAPER: Baohong 300 gr. Satin grain PALETTE: Mijello Before starting, we wet the paper on both sides so that it does not warp during the process and is properly hydrated. 1. SKY AND MOUNTAINS Very soft tones in these layers. We divide the mountains into 2 more tones. 2. INTERMEDIATE GROUND We dry the centre to reserve the light and paint around the source of the river. 3. CLOSE-UP Wet with water, add very strong tones and connect everything with water. 4. TEXTURES AND MOVEMENT We spray drops of water, tilt the support and let the water act for about 5 minutes. 5.
