My Top Tips To Paint An Autumn Harvest Watercolour Still Life

My top tips to paint an Autumn Harvest Watercolour Still Life.
With harvest festivals all over the world, it's a perfect moment to paint an Autumn Harvest still life, inspired by the Autumn section of my new book; A Year Of Watercolour.
If you want to get started with my new book A Year of Watercolour (available to buy here dewintonpaperc...) then this video is for you. I have simplified how to approach a still life painting with simple apples, gourds and acorns.

Harriet, I absolutely LOVE it when you draw dark enough so we can actually SEE what you have drawn!! Tgat is sooo very helpful.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you so much 😀

[@sparkleme1237]

In watercolour painting , most the time you draw lightly. So the pencil lines go away.

Thanks for reminding us to just go for it with dark shadows at the end. It’s scary when you’re not used to it! Your paintings are always so beautiful.

What a great composition piece. I am taking a live watercolour class this month in my city. And watching your videos complement what I am learning. I would like to try your technique of layering the colours. That makes all the difference.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you so much 😀

[@ramonalachapelle8691]

You are so bold when adding shadow and it looks amazing! I am way too tentative. I think need to be more assertive with shadowing.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

You can do it!
