Part 1 of 2 - Painted from a photograph I took of the River Cole in Kingshurst, this watercolour landscape painting tutorial uses 15" x 11" Fabriano watercolor paper weighing 130lb.  My palette consists of Raw Sienna, Burnt Umber, Light Red, Ultramarine, Lemon Yellow and Payne's Gray.  My main brush is the large Ron Ranson hake, excellent for the fast and loose watercolor painting technique.  My other brush for this watercolour lesson is the number 3 rigger.  Have a go, it's easier than you think!
