Creating a Serene Landscape in Muted Colors | Sketchbook Art Tutorial

Hello everyone! In today's video, we're adding a new page to my sketchbook with a serene landscape painting using muted colors. These soft tones create a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for relaxing art sessions.

I work in a large square Arway sketchbook, but you can apply the same technique to a canvas of any size.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the process:
1. Preparation: I start by prepping the page with a layer of gesso and taping the edges to leave a small white border, adding a nice contrast to the colors.

2. Color Mixing: Before painting, I mix my colors in advance to maintain a smooth workflow. Feel free to take a screenshot of the colors I used, they are also listed in the description below.

3. Layering: I paint in three layers, allowing the paint to dry between each one. For the first layer, I thin the paint with a wet brush to create a light base for the painting.
