Extra Wide Glowing Landscape in Watercolour | Use a Limited Palette for Colour Harmony

Описание: In today’s tutorial, I’ll show you how to paint an extra-wide panoramic watercolour landscape using a limited colour palette to achieve beautiful colour harmony and a glowing centre of light.

This step-by-step lesson focuses on building soft layers, creating reflections in water, and keeping your painting unified by working with just four colours:
Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Prussian Blue, and Payne’s Grey.

We’ll explore:
✔ How to keep light in the centre of your painting
✔ Mixing harmonious greens, browns, and oranges from a limited palette
✔ Painting soft background trees and reflections
✔ Using dry brush and texture for ripples in water
✔ Creating depth with tonal values rather than extra colours

This panoramic format (9cm x 31cm) is perfect for practicing composition and atmosphere, and the techniques shown can be applied to any landscape painting.

Whether you’re a beginner or an intermediate watercolour artist, this tutorial will help you gain confidence with colour harmony, reflections, and layering.
