Connect to natural landscapes, find calm, and appreciate beauty through the mindful medium of practical watercolor.
In Painting Landscapes, beloved artist and author of Painting Calmand Wild Watercolor, Inga Buividavice, guides you on a creative journey that blends artistic practice with a deeper connection to the natural world. Watercolor landscapes are a classic and rewarding subject, and Inga's warm, encouraging approach makes them accessible whether you're picking up a brush for the very first time or refining existing skills.
Inga introduces the essential supplies, colour theory, and techniquesyou'll need to get started, from washes and glazing to creating texture with salt, dry brush, or masking fluid. She then leads you through inspiring projects that explore a wide range of natural and travel subjects, including:
Water: learn to capture tranquil reflections, rippling movement, and the soft transparency of waves using watercolor's natural fluidity.
Mountains: explore light, shadow, and rocky textures to create depth and drama in striking mountain scenes.
Trees and meadows: practice painting flora, from delicate leaves to lively wildflowers and grasses.
Seasons: discover how shifting palettes and moods can bring the atmosphere of each season to life on paper.
Travel sketches: try portable, playful approaches to quickly documenting your journeys and everyday surroundings.
Along the way, you'll also find advice on composition, drawing, and developing your creative practice, so that your painting becomes not just a skill, but a joyful and mindful habit.
Illustrated throughout with Inga's signature gentle style, Painting Landscapes is more than a how-to manual: it's an invitation to reconnect with nature, nurture your creativity, and discover the restorative calm of watercolor. Perfect for anyone drawn to the beauty of the outdoors, this is a guide to return to again and again.
