Easy Mixed Media Landscape | 2024 -39

When we lived in Colorado, we explored as much as we could every weekend. Sometimes, that meant staying close by our home and other times, that meant we made longer trips to Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. Now, I recall all the beautiful landscapes I saw and every once in a while I feel called to paint another watercolor and mixed media desert landscape. This one is pretty easy and I hope you'll feel inspired to join me in painting.

Here’s a list of the materials I used for this painting: (*** I now have the ability to monetize my site. This means I can include links to the products I use and when you make a purchase using some of these links I will get a small commission. ( This applies to the Amazon links in this description and YouTube Shopping Affiliate links included in my video. ) Any purchases made by using these links help me earn a little bit of money along the way, so I can continue doing this work.
