Linda here as your hostess this week. I found an artist who has numerous videos, but this is the one he starts with as his basic painting. He keeps it simple with a sketch, basic colors and simple strokes. I didn't put the people in my painting. I need to practice them. Come join us and paint a scene. TFL

I love your sky and that sparkling sea. It is so great to see how someone can create so much with a simple approach. It leans into what is great about watercolor.

Wonderful water (I struggled with that) and colors. The grass was a great idea. Beautiful painting, Linda, and great video this week (stretched me). Hugz

This coastal scene is beautifully serene—the way the water glistens under that soft sky gives it such a peaceful rhythm. I love the addition of grasses near the shoreline; they add wonderful texture and depth to the composition. The minimal strokes and soothing palette truly highlight how effective a simple sketch can be.
