Is watercolor lighthouse painting for beginner ?

-

Watercolor lighthouse certainly one of the demanding topics for a beginner. 
 

Why is it so ?

First of all, when drawing a lighthouse, we have to take into account many factors, such as perspective, size in relation to other objects, etc ... 

Waves, clouds, and the atmosphere are often tied to lighthouses.

My picture clearly shows all the mistakes and the struggle I had with this picture .

Of course, I am in no way discouraging you from trying this topic. If you do not take the risk of failure, you will never grow as an artist. 

At the end of the day you either have a picture or you have a lesson learned.

If you have any questions feel free to ask them in the comments, I will try to answer as best I can.

    My husband wants me to paint a lighthouse painting for him. I don't think I'm good enough with the ocean water to do it. I'm still a beginner but I should just do it and see how it comes out. Thanks for the post.

The Koh-i-noor Mondeluz Watercolor Pencils are advertised as having highly concentrated pigments in combination with the use of high-quality kaolin white clay for the core.  This results in good, deep color and great application abilities.   The thick 3.8mm diameter core allows for very dominant strokes that can cover great areas while still being able to retain the ability to do intricate areas.  Overall these do quite well in all of these areas.  The sets come in 12 to 36 pieces and have a hexagonal wood shell.     I use watercolors mostly when i go outside to do sketching. They are easy to carry, it is enough to have only a sketchbook and pencils with you.  If you want to see a good tutorial on working with watercolors, take a look at this one: How to paint with Watercolour Pencils       If you have any questions feel free to ask them in the comments, I will try to answer as best I can .

Painting on rough watercolor paper

Painting on rough watercolor paper has many advantages.   This is especially true of motifs such as landscapes .   As you can see in this picture, I used a lot of dry brush technique . With just a few strokes, I got the effect of a cornfield.   As you go further into the picture use more water and paint to fill all the valleys in the paper. Because we don't want to see details in the distance.

Line and wash is a watercolour technique that combines a line drawing with a watercolour painting. Since a lot of the structure of the painting is established by the line drawing itself, often all that is needed from the paint is a little wash of colour - hence the name, line and wash.
