Wild at the waters edge 

For Continuing Artists

This is a painting to slow down with.

Soft, misty hills sit quietly in the distance while colour and movement build gently in the foreground. This tutorial is an invitation to relax into your painting, enjoy the flow of the brush, and let the landscape emerge naturally on the page.

You’ll work with layers of watercolour and touches of beautifully coloured gouache, allowing splashes, textures, and expressive marks to bring the meadow to life. There’s a lovely balance between calm and energy — still water, wild colour — making this a deeply satisfying piece to paint.

Every version of this landscape will be different, and that’s part of its charm. It’s about trusting your instincts, enjoying the process, and finishing with a painting that feels joyful and personal.
