Lighthouse at Low Tide Watercolor

Share

This Lighthouse Watercolor tutorial I followed uses a sea sponge to create the water, sky and slope effects.

First I started with outlining the lighthouse landscape. The outline can be downloaded for free here: Lighthouse Outline.

I also decided to create a border around the pattern by applying painters tape.

I used Princeton Heritage series size 2 and size 6 brushes, and a sea sponge.

It was painted in 4 steps, using these 5 paint colors:

  • Yellow Ochre
  • Azure Blue
  • Orchid
  • Black
  • Emerald Green
