夏日时光，悠然自得！
2020年的夏天，正是让你的大脑暂时远离社交媒体无休止刷屏与焦虑瘫痪的绝佳时机。作为一名2020年的教师，我的焦虑阈值已被推至极限；因此，我决心在这个夏天彻底放手、放松身心，只为取悦自己而画些有趣的作品。
本文精选了我最钟爱的四则水彩教程，全部面向初学者，配有详尽的分步语音讲解。这些教程既适合儿童、真正的新手，也适合寻求灵感的进阶画家。

让我们开始作画吧！
简易水彩冰棒绘画
教程预览！
我们先从所有简易水彩教程中最简单的一则开始。
本教程采用湿画法（湿纸着色），操作迅速，能轻松实现大家熟知且喜爱的那种流动感十足的水色渐变效果。
这则教程趣味十足，对初学者极为友好。非常适合儿童或绘画经验极少的学习者。话说回来，即便我已从事绘画多年，也依然乐此不疲——一画就是一整天！我钟爱这一题材，正因其色彩明艳、造型简洁。你可以极简处理，只用单一颜色；也可尝试在每支冰棒中融合多种色彩。若颜料稍显混乱或出现流淌——完全没问题！这反而会让画面更显真实、更具表现力。

若您正寻找一套便携式水彩套装，我超爱这款温莎·牛顿科特曼紧凑套装。它属于中端产品，是希望投资品质更优水彩、又不想过度破费的艺术家的理想之选。多年来，我一直用它绘制贺卡与插画，成果始终令我满意。
水彩花卉
简易水彩花卉
我热爱花卉绘画。可选的花型千变万化，每个季节都带来独特灵感。我尤其钟爱湿画法带来的水彩晕染效果——它助我避免过度刻画画面。本视频将演示两种简洁的花卉造型，并共用同一套叶片图案。此外，我还会展示如何在颜料未干时即进行色彩融合。
你只需一支画笔，甚至平价颜料也能呈现惊艳效果。我喜欢整页绘制花卉图案，也曾将这些花卉用于贺卡及婚礼装饰。本教程步骤清晰、易于上手，既适合初学者，亦能满足经验更丰富的画家。
若您有意选购本教程所用的平价普朗水彩套装（我也常用于美术课堂），下方附有我的亚马逊联盟推广链接。
我对海景情有独钟，这要归功于我的父亲。童年假期里，他总带着水彩颜料，在海滩上写生。直到移居内陆州俄克拉荷马，我才真正意识到自己在南卡罗来纳州成长是多么幸运。俄克拉荷马虽拥有壮丽的日出与日落，但终究比不上大海！
若您风景画经验有限，本教程将是绝佳的入门起点。我先以湿画法起稿，待其自然晾干后，再换小号画笔添加若干清晰细节。您可将配色方案调整为日落色调，也可像我一样选用蓝色系。
本海景创作的核心目标是：保持简洁。在我身为公立学校教师之外的另一重身份中，我是一名户外油画创作者；而我向来习惯反复修改、不断调整自己的风景画。因此，能在三十分钟内完成一幅作品并果断收笔，令我倍感满足。一旦进入状态，我甚至能一口气连续画出数十幅！如今，父亲每次旅行仍会随手画些小幅风景或海景，并寄给我收藏。

水彩星云风景
绘制水彩星云已成为我的新式疗愈方式。它简直易如反掌，而且每次都能诞生独一无二的天空！今年夏天，我和丈夫曾梦想购置一辆房车，而眼前这片天空，正是我为这场想象之旅精心勾勒的愿景图景——或许终有一日能成真。
我将本教程留到最后，因其步骤略多于前三则。事实上，天空本身反而是本帖中技法最简单的部分：你无需担心是否准确描绘某个具体物象，只需随心挥洒任意色彩的漩涡状笔触即可。加水过多？毫无关系——用纸巾吸拭，或静待其自然风干！
待天空干透后，我使用液态丙烯颜料在夜空中喷溅出点点繁星，并添绘一轮明月。若您备有白色水彩，亦可使用；但我发现蛋彩或丙烯的效果更佳。
若手边没有丙烯颜料？试试涂改液吧！几年前一位学生向我展示了这个方法，当时我简直惊呆了。
黑色丙烯绘制的树影剪影极易上手，却能赋予画面一种梦幻般的点睛之效。
我用美纹纸胶带沿画纸边缘粘贴，营造出一种:::不完美:::的菱形构图。普通透明胶带在此并不适用——它更适合丙烯绘画，因后者用水量较少。我曾两次试画失败，最终才在本次分步教程中成功完成。
完整教程在此！
本教程中，我使用了价格实惠的Prang水彩颜料套装；但采用这种需大量水洗的技法时，我建议不要在纸张上节省开支。我在下方附上了我最钟爱的两款高端水彩纸画本：Fabriano 和 Arches。您可点击链接直接在亚马逊购买，也可在任意美术用品店找到它们。
我格外怀念当年步行前往南卡罗来纳州哥伦比亚市的City Art实体店，亲手挑选本地供应美术材料的日子。

Summmmmmmmmmer time and the living’s easy!
The summer of 2020 is the perfect time to engage your brain in something other than scrolling social media in a paralyzed panic. Being a teacher in 2020 has stretched my limits of anxiety and I vowed this summer to let go, relax and paint fun things for myself.
This post has four of my favorite watercolor tutorials that are beginner friendly with full step by step verbal directions. These are adaptable for kids, true beginners, or more experienced artists looking for inspiration.

Let’s start painting!
Easy Watercolor Popsicle Painting
Tutorial Preview!
Let’s start with the EASIEST of all easy watercolor tutorials.
This wet-on-wet technique is really quick and provides that popular watery color blend that everybody knows and loves.
This one is a blast and is very beginner friendly. This would be great for kids or a painter with little experience. That being said, I could do this all day long and I’ve been painting for years. I love this subject matter because of the vibrant colors and simple shapes. You can keep things really simple and stick to one color, or try blending several colors in each Popsicle. If your paint gets a little messy or drips- that’s perfectly okay! It only makes your painting look more realistic and expressive.
Watch the full tutorial here!
If you are in the market for a travel watercolor set, I LOVE the Winsor & Newton Cotman compact set. It is a great mid-level set for artists who want to invest in nicer watercolors without breaking the bank. I’ve been using this set for cards and illustrations for years and I am always happy with the results.
Watercolor Flowers
Easy Watercolor Flowers
I love painting flowers. There are so many variations to choose from and each season brings it’s own inspiration. I love the simplicity of wet on wet watercolor blending and it helps me not overwork my painting. This video will show you two simple flower shapes with the same leaf pattern. I will also show you how to blend colors before your paint even dries.
You only need one paint brush and even inexpensive paint looks great. I love to make a whole page of floral patterns and I’ve used these flowers for cards and wedding decorations. This tutorial is step by step and approachable for beginners as well as satisfying for the more experienced painter.
I’ve added my Amazon affiliate links below if you are interested in the inexpensive Prang watercolor set I used for this tutorial and also use in my art classroom.
I am very fond of seascapes thanks to my dad. He always brought his watercolors and painted on the beach during our childhood vacations. I never realized how lucky I was growing up in South Carolina until I moved to the land locked state of Oklahoma. Oklahoma may have gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, but nothing is better than the beach!
This tutorial is a great jumping off point if you have limited landscape experience. I start painting wet on wet and then let it dry so I can go back and add a few sharper details with a smaller brush. You can change your color scheme to a sunset or you can use blues like me.
My goal with this seascape was to KEEP IT SIMPLE. I am a plein air oil painter in my other life, when I’m not in full public school teacher mode, and I am always working, reworking and changing my landscape paintings. It was so satisfying to finish a painting in thirty minutes and call it done. I feel like once I got warmed up I could paint dozens of these in a row. My dad still paints a little landscape or seascape on all of his trips and mails them to me.

Watercolor Galaxy Landscape
Painting watercolor galaxies is my new therapy. It is so stinking easy and you get a different sky every time! My husband and I dreamed of getting an RV this summer and this sky is exactly the vision I have for this imaginary experience. Maybe one day.
I saved this one for last because it has a few more steps than the first three tutorials. The sky itself is actually the easiest technique on this post. You don’t have to worry about painting something that represents an object. It is simply swirls of whatever colors you are drawn to. Add too much water? No problem, just use a paper towel or let it dry!
Once the sky dried I use liquid acrylic to splatter stars in the sky and add a moon. You can use white watercolor if you have it, but I have found that tempera or acrylic work way better.
No acrylic paint? Try white out! A student showed me this a couple years ago and my mind was blown.
The tree silhouettes are really easy to paint with black acrylic and give such a magical finishing touch.
I taped my paper off with artists tape to create my :::imperfect::: diamond composition. Masking tape did NOT work for this. It works well with acrylic because you are not using so much water. I painted this twice before I finally got it right for this step by step tutorial.
Full tutorial here!
I used my inexpensive set of Prang watercolors for this tutorial, but I recommend not skimping on paper when using such a water wash heavy technique. I added my two favorite splurge watercolor paper pads, Fabriano and Arches, below! You can use the link to purchase them from Amazon or you can find them in any art supply store.
I so miss the days of walking to City Art in Columbia SC to pick out art supplies in person and locally.
