Hi friends. I hope you had a nice weekend. We’re on our ‘March break’ and enjoying staying in pj’s all day. I will have to do a little bit of grocery shopping today which is not my favourite. But each time I have to go grocery shopping I have to make an effort and thank God for being able to fill our fridge with food. It’s sad to me how we can take so many things for granted, even those things we don’t necessarily enjoy doing can be blessings.
One of those blessings to me is being able to spend time painting. It’s one of those things that takes me away and makes me forget any worries I might have. Last week I painted this forest with an interesting view.
I have been exploring different effects and this was a fun one to try. It’s not perfect because it’s my first attempt but as usual, the more you try, the better at it you get.
Here is the video to go with the painting.
Unfortunately, certain paintings are extremely difficult to capture with picture by picture instructions because of the plethora of steps that it’s involved.
But the main thing to remember when using watercolor is LAYERS. Layers allows you to give the painting that depth. Just remember to allow the paint to dry in between layers.
I also wanted to show you my new favourite way to display plants. I love how this looks and this particular plant thrives this way. Some plants might not do well being submerged in water like this so make sure you check prior to doing this.
That’s all I got for today but I hope to see you again very soon.
much love,
Lucy
I absolutely LOVE everything you do and this is no exception. You need to sell your paintings! This one might be my favourite!
And the plant is also amazing, any idea the name of it?
Hi Sharon … Growing plants in water is great fun especially when going on vacation as there is no need to worry about watering! lol! I love Lucy’s forest painting here. The plant is commonly called a Pothos. It is part of the Epipemnum family which has many species. It is impossible to kill and can be found at any garden center or grocery store. Leaf cuttings grow readily in water. As long as there is one node (a bump on the stem), roots will grow from that node and you can root many plants from just one vine. Change the water every few days to keep it looking clean and attractive.
Thank you Elaine…that was so helpful xo
If I could paint this forest, I would feel like Michaelangelo!!! Beautiful ! You make it look sooooo easy.
Do you sell your artwork? It’s gorgeous.
I love this painting! Please list copies for sale, I would buy one for sure!
That’s a beautiful painting. Thanks for the tutorial video!
Best wishes, Doro.
Such a beautiful painting… Do you have a color list?
Meg…
Buenas tardes! hace tiempo tengo ganas de realizar una pintura muy muy parecida, pero en un bastidor de 0.70 x 1.20 mt. Nose si la acuarela es valida para pinturas de mayor tamaño, de no ser así, con que otra técnica se podría realizar?
Desde ya muchas gracias y hermosa pintura!
The Watercolor Forest” is a captivating masterpiece that effortlessly blends the tranquility of nature with the delicate strokes of watercolor. The artist’s use of soft hues and subtle gradients creates an ethereal atmosphere, transporting viewers into a serene woodland where every tree and leaf seems to dance with the soothing rhythm of watercolor magic.
