Draw It Better 11 Entry Mountain theme: Sunset Mountain Watercolor Painting
Presenting my Art! ✏️
This is specifically made for @sirsensei's drawitbetter art challenge! The theme is "mountains"
Sunset Mountain
Watercolor on paper
I usually don't draw landscape but somehow I was drawn to the new theme and surprisingly I loved it. Thanks @sirsensei!
I drew a person (a woman) as part of the mountain to represent mother nature:
☀️It is she whom the sun meets rising
🌄It is she who puts the sun to sleep
🍃It is she who humbles the wind
🌊It is she who carries the streams
💮It is she who cares for us all
I just like to personify nature because they're beautiful and living, and they balance life and it's goodness. We should appreciate and preserve this greatest treasure.
🎨The materials I used are the following:
I was pretty excited to paint since all my materials were new. 😋 So what do we have here?
Mechanical pencil I like using mechanical pencils since you won't have to sharpen it and it stays at a certain sharpness and fineness. This is 0.5 I think. But it's nice if you'd go for 0.07 which is super thin and light.
Paint brushes I used three types, two thin and small tip paint brushes and one flat. You will see them in the work in progress photos to come. These are synthetic but good quality so it's nice to use.
Watercolor paper You can use any watercolor paper you have/want.
The paper is usually thick. The thicker the better, the more sturdy!
Watercolor set I have watercolor set of 36 colors. Kuretake Gansai Tambi. It's so high quality.
🇯🇵Japan will never let you down
Process video and photos
First of all, to think of mountains ans concept I need a subject. So I google mountain pictures, rocks and vines just to give ideas and I take pics of myself to so I have a subject.
Please excuse my face. 😂🤣🤗
You can see which photos I used for the artwork.
THE VIDEO
Here's a video of my art, there are pictures and a timelapse of how I painted the sunset
Due to time constraints, it's so hard to paint with one hand and film on the other. Instead, I'll just explain more with the work in progress photos here.
Work in Progress photos
Pictures and process
Starting with a sketchI draw the face and other rock like features and the vines and flowers
Start painting
I don't have formal training with watercolor so I just use the "light to dark" technique and applying color theory.
The flowers are:
Red,
Paint the rocks
I use blue, white, black, brown and green for the rocks.
I just randomly made the patterns.
The sky background and the mountains
For this I used blue, yellow, red, white and orange. For the mountain I used some violet shades along with blue, white and black.
Slight editing of the picture helps since taking pictures sometimes makes the image dull.

Ang ganda nito Jazz !
Thank you talaga!!!!!! :D di ako magaling sa watercolor, nag susubok2 palang. mas mabilis kasi matapos kaysa sa colored pencils so, why not :)
Pinakagamay ko yung watercolor pag dating sa landscape saka fantasy themed! I'm sure makakagawa ka ng cool artworks pa lalo knowing your skills. Omg I'm so excited sa future works mo
Goodness. You're so good sis! I was also visualizing a woman formed like a mountain for hours but still, I can't decide the elements of my plan.
