Practice Over Perfection – My Recent Landscape Studies (Patreon)

As I always say, getting better at painting comes down to practice—again and again.

It’s not about talent as much as it is about showing up consistently. That’s exactly why I’m always learning and exploring new approaches.

I also study water reflections and even though I have a few classes on Skillshare on painting water reflections and tutorials here, on Patreon, I can't stop admiring how beautiful this object is. I'm also thinking if I should make a full tutorial on these swans...😏

Lately, landscapes have been my main focus, and since I have access to so many amazing classes on Skillshare, I decided to finally go through some of the ones I had saved. One of them is by Will Elliston, and it really inspired me to experiment more with my process.

In this post, I’m sharing some of the steps I followed while painting this landscape, along with a few studies from my small watercolor sketchbook.

These sketchbook pieces are simple, but they’re an important part of my practice. I can already see that I need to work more on color choices and perspective—but that’s exactly why I keep a sketchbook 💛

It’s a space to explore, make mistakes, and grow.

Let me know if you’d like to see more of these practice sessions or step-by-step breakdowns 🌿
