Landscape painting will bring us a beautiful and peaceful imagination space, which can instantly make us feel better. The scenery in the autumn mountains is very beautiful because the trees have become rich colorful and beautiful.
Therefore, today I will bring you a set of landscape watercolor paintings, with each step of painting and video. The composition of this picture.

Green meadow. Yellow meadow. The forest in the distance. More distant mountains.

The main color of this picture. blue tones. Yellow tone. Green tone. Use yellow and green to indicate the color of autumn.

Use the blue tones to draw the distant mountains. Because warm colors make people feel closer, the cool color gives people feel farthest.

The part of the mountain is divided into three layers.

Level 1. The nearest mountain is the darkest color.

Layer 2. The middle layer. The color is darker than the first layer.

Layer 3. The farthest mountain, the lightest color. Because the light color means far away.

The composition of the painting is parsed.

Lines design to make sure of the structural. The tone design shows the distance. The combination of the two parts is a perfect landscape.

The first step is to draft a draft with a pencil.

Because this picture has 14 layers. So be sure to use a pencil to determine the position in advance.

The first thing to do is to determine the direction of the sun. It is from the upper right corner. Therefore, all the shadows in the painting must be unified at an angle. This is the law of nature. If you break the laws of nature. Will draw a strange picture.

How to Draw Europe Landscapes in Autumn Mountains with WatercolorStep 2.

Add more water to the blue. Draw the outline of the whole part of the mountain.

Add some water to the yellow. Draw the main outline of the grass part.

This will make future coloring more convenient. Because once you start to paint, you will think about a lot of things. Ignore the overall structure. So whether it's a draft of a pencil or a draft of color, it's often important.

Step 3. Draw the mountains.

The farthest mountain. Add some water to the blue and draw the lightest blue.

In the middle of the mountain, add some water, but not too much. Draw mountains of mid-tones. In the nearest mountain, blue add less water. At the same time, add a little green pigment to go in. The ratio is probably, adding 65%of blue and 35% of green. Because from a distance, the nearest mountain is blue-green.

Geography knowledge: The lowest altitude mountain, green vegetation will be more. The mountains with high altitudes have no plants.

Color principle 1: The position of distance is expressed in warm and cold colors.

Color principle 2: There is color refraction between two close objects.

For example, We all know that clouds are pure white. But in different weather, the clouds we see have different colors. Clouds of sunrise and sunset turn red, orange-red. On a cloudy day, the clouds turn grey, blue-gray, or dark gray. On a sunny day, the clouds will turn blue. This is why the nearby mountains are painted in blue and green.

Step 4. Grassland.

Autumn, so the grass will turn yellow and green. Plus the color of the golden yellow sun. So in a place with a lot of sunshine, the grass becomes yellow. A place with less sunshine. The grass will have the original green or yellow-green.

Step 5. forest. The whole is painted in warm colors.

The nearest woods. Red, green, and brown tones. Dark green, green add brown. The green color thus colored is a warm color. Because this is the color of autumn.

The basic principle of object perspective: size represents distance.

The nearest woods. The shape of the tree is the largest.

The middle woods. Smaller than the nearest tree. Tonal aspect. Because the middle tree is from the perspective of backlighting. So the color is darker than the nearest tree.

The kinds of wood in the distance. The shape of the tree is smaller than the tree in the middle distance. The color is deeper than the middle.

The farthest forest. Tree on the blue hill. Because the distance is too far, only the shape of the small vertical bar is seen. The color is the same as the mountain.

Step 6. Overall detail adjustment.

Pay attention to the shadow of the trees. The sun shines from the upper right corner. Therefore, the bottom left corner of the tree is the darkest.

The bottom left corner of the house is the darkest.

The shadow position of the house, the tree is, from the upper right corner to the lower-left corner. Ok, now a beautiful autumn mountain view is finished. Hurry and enjoy your art painting.
