Watercolor landscape

In art class we made a watercolor landscape, which is something that I had never attempted before. Usually when I do watercolor it is for backgrounds or for coloring people, so I this was a challenge.

sorry the picture is low quality

The hardest part about this was making the bushes realistic. I tried to put darker colors on the bottom and create texture, but I think it still looks pretty cartoony. The water wasn’t too difficult, and I used masking fluid to keep the white parts white while also not spending forever coloring. I actually enjoyed this project a lot more than I expected. Even though it didn’t really require much creativity or thought, landscapes can be really calming.
