Watercolour - Walking into the Fall

Creating a Fall Season landscape Painting in Watercolours

The walking path covered with golden leaves floating in a breeze and sunlight one of the most poetic scenes in the fall. Trees in their various shape, colour and pattern of growth compose a true effect of colour, texture and motion in landscape painting.

In a perspective way, trees are forming from large to small representing foreground to background. You can create the foliage pattern in values, not individual leaf. It is not possible to point each leaf accurately, especially when a passing breeze moves around. The easier way to capture the tree is to find a group value that describe the distinctive tone of the foliage. Contrast plays another important role in this project.

Through a detail study of the subject, I would like to bring you to a close up demo process which will help you manage this landscape painting from big image to fine details. You may express yourself with confidence after this study.

Topics & techniques covered in this project:
Composing perspective structure for the scene
Creating value patterns from big image to individual objects
Analyzing the colours within the foliage group
Achieving brush loading techniques in different forms
Applying motion and mood expression to completion
