The Lazy River - Gouache Landscape Tutorial

Realistic Landscapes
Written By Ruth Wilshaw

This sweet little lazy river is a study in light and shadow.

We'll paint bands of illumination passing through the trees and onto the grass to capture the atmosphere of a late summer afternoon. I painted this a while back and it's still one of my favorites because of that pretty light.

Grab your supplies to paint along, or a nice cup of tea to just sit back and enjoy 😉

Happy painting!
