How to Paint Fog in Watercolors - Mist Watercolor Painting
I’ve been on a watercolor landscape kick for a while and have really enjoyed exploring different compositions and techniques. It was about a year ago that I published my quick tutorial on making fluffy white clouds with watercolors and I’m so excited to add to that little series of quick watercolor landscape tips. This time around we’re tackling a similar problem—at least the techniques used to capture the effect will be similar. I’m talking about mist or fog in a watercolor landscape.
While it seems easy at first, approaching the problem with pigment on brush can be more intimidating than it originally appears. Thankfully I was able to test out a few theories and came up with a quick watercolor fog tutorial for you (and a bonus watercolor tree tutorial, hah).
This tutorial came at the request of Diane U, who asked me to show how to paint fog coming up out of the water using watercolor paints. If there’s something specific that you would like to learn how to do, I’d love to hear your ideas and made a video just for you!
Alright, that’s enough chatter from me for now! Let’s move on to the tutorial (but big love for you if you read this far!)
