How I Create Flowing Lines with Watercolor Article on Outdoor Painter
I am an artist who loves to experiment with watercolor. One of my favorite techniques is creating flowing, organic lines that give my paintings a sense of movement and life.
In my recent article in Outdoor Painter, I’ll share with you my approach to creating these lines and how you can apply it to your own paintings.
After painting en plein air for over 25 years, I’ve discovered how each painting experience becomes a meaningful chapter of your story. You take in the scenery with all of your senses, feel the scene, and it will show up in your painting. Whether creating a ‘quick sketch’ travel watercolor or a finessed fine art studio painting, my work shares my creative journey.
