Full moon nighttime watercolor landscape - ScratchmadeJournal.com

Nighttime Landscape Watercolor Tutorial

Tonya February 15, 2018

This past January, my family and I ran outside and braved the cold to witness some pretty extraordinary lunar events! Not only were there two full moons (or blue moons) that month, but many in the U.S. were able to see a partial or total eclipse of the New Year's Eve supermoon.

A moonlit, nighttime scene may seem challenging to paint in watercolor, but this type of landscape isn't all that difficult. My video below shares a simple, step-by-step watercolor tutorial on how to paint a nighttime winter landscape with a forest of trees and a full moon.

If you give it a try, I'd love to know how it turns out. Leave a comment below along with a photo, if you can. Much thanks and happy painting!

P.S. If you're wondering who made that gorgeous wooden brush rest in the photo above, check out my friend Aneta's shop on Etsy. She also crafts lovely sketchbooks!

“Ask the animals, and they will teach you. Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you. Speak to the earth, and it will instruct you. Let the fish of the sea speak to you. They all know that the Lord has done this. For the life of every living thing is in his hand.”
Job 12:7-10

There is no lack of wonders; only a lack of wonder.
