Dark Night Watercolor Silhouette Landscape - How To Spatter and Erase Watercolor For Beginners
Channel: Deb Watson
Date: 30/12/2020

This watercolor silhouette is easier if you paint the golden (or orange) glow at the bottom third first and then dry it well. Rewet and paint the dark sky on top, going for a soft edge at the bottom of the dark sky. Then you can paint the dark land and lift the moon. Experiment with your colors for a beautiful watercolor sunset glow.

The new paper I tried in this video can be seen at:

Watercolor paper:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FDZL8JR

Sky Color - Blue or Purple - Cobalt and/or Ultramarine Blue (I use Qor Modern Watercolors)
(I used Dioxazine Purple but most seem to like a dark blue sky better)
Orange - Transparent Pyrrole Orange
     or mix your own orange with any red and yellow
Opaque White - Pro White by Daler Rowney or any brand
Black or Dark Brown for bottom - mix your dark blue (or purple) with your orange or use any tube black

Pebeo Drawing Gum
Masking Pickup - https://www.dickblick.com/items/crepe-rubber-cement-pickup-2-x-2/  about $2 
Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser
Misting Spray Bottle
Stencil - you can cut out a stencil from any stiff paper - watercolor paper, an old photograph or advertising flyers that you receive in the mail.
Most brushes would work fine. I used a size six synthetic round brush and a 3/4" Silver Black Velvet Oval Wash Brush. Wash brushes are softer and will give you smoother washes.
