I’ve been having fun painting more landscapes and have a few to share with you today.
Happy Thursday, friends! π§‘
A simple landscape of distant hills.
I’ve been trying to push ahead and paint without worry. Some days that’s easier than others. π
A peaceful scene with distant trees and hills.
Daniel Smith watercolors:Β Ultramarine blue, Burnt sienna light, and Yellow ochre
Brush:Β Princeton Neptune Round 12
Watercolor tips:
- I think about the landscape in three sections: the sky, middle, and foreground.
That makes this type of painting less intimidating for me. - Using a limited palette creates color harmony and simplifies decision making.
When I limit my color choices I feel less pressure as I am painting.
I hope you enjoy seeing my art and are inspired to create, play, and have fun.
Until next time, share a smile and stay excellent.

I really like these landscape paintings, Patty Anne. There is a simple elegance to them that I find really appealing. The loose style is suggestive and lets the viewer fill in the details–the first one brought to mind a rugged beach. I also love your choice of colors (ultramarine and burnt sienna are among my most-used colors) and the way you explained the value of a limited palette, i.e. reduced stress and worry. Thanks for sharing your works and words of inspiration.
