Watercolor landscapes can quickly feel overwhelming: too many details, too many decisions, and not enough clarity on where to start.

In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn how to paint mountain landscapes that feel loose, atmospheric, and still realistic, using a simple process.

I’m Françoise, a self-taught watercolor artist and teacher based in France. I specialize in loose realism and help beginners develop confidence in their watercolor process through structured teaching.

You’ll learn:

How to simplify a photo reference and make it your own
How to find the right balance between water and paint
How to keep edges light and natural
How to build depth using simple layering techniques
How to paint a complete mountain landscape step by step
How to fix a painting that feels flat, dull, or too dark

The lessons are short, clear, and designed to help you understand how watercolor works without overwhelm. You’ll start with simple exercises and warm-ups, then apply everything directly into a finished mountain landscape using only two colors.

This class is ideal for beginners and anyone who wants a calmer, more intuitive approach to watercolor landscapes. The techniques you’ll learn here can be reused again and again as a foundation for future paintings.

Grab your supplies, and enjoy the process of painting watercolor mountains with confidence.
