Hi Everyone! Tonight is a very simple watercolour seascape for beginners! It really is a very simple landscape with only a few colours and not too many hard techniques! You don't need to use the same colours or paint the same scene! Hope you enjoy this lovely simple watercolour! There is a bit of wet in wet painting in this but that is the best thing to become comfortable with in watercolour as it paints the painting for you with very little effort!

Happy Painting!

Rives BFK etching paper. Probably best to source this from your local store so you can look after the paper and not have it posted unless you are buying a large amount of paper and it will be looked after. There is nothing worse than getting hundreds of sheets all with a indent in them. Having said that you can actually source this paper from amazon:

Some people have been extremely happy with the state of the paper when it arrived (and some not!)

I love this paper it is soft and lights are lifted easily from it.
