Most of my watercolor tutorials focus on realistic rendering. Here, I take a creative approach to highlight the moonlight atmosphere. Moon symbolism is intimately connected to creativity. It makes sense to use our imagination for this project.

Hello! My name is Morgyn Church Crotts and I am an artist based in Southwest Virginia. I’ve created art of all media for as long as I can remember and while my B.S. is in Applied Mathematics & Statistics, I also have a minor in Studio Arts (and Physics and Astronomy) and I am constantly learning how to take my skills to the next level with help from my mentors including my father who was my first and most important teacher and supporter in my artistic endeavors. I am also co-owner of an audio/visual media company called, Obsidian Productions. My partner is none other than my very own husband who is a professional audio engineer. Together I truly believe we are the ultimate audio/visual power couple! Feel free to look us up if you’d like to learn more about what we have to offer! Otherwise, I hope you enjoy my personal work on this profile. Thanks for stopping by, Morgyn

Step 1: Outlining the landscape.
Outline some simple mountain shapes. Use a compass to draw a circle for the moon. If you don’t have a compass, trace around a small lid instead. Perhaps you don’t feel like drawing. You can download mine for free in the One Tree Art Club library. (MEMBERS: check your newsletter for library access information). Once you have printed out the drawing, trace the lines onto your watercolor paper.
You are going to watercolor the sky with a lush, blue wash. To make it easy, protect the moon with masking fluid. When the masking fluid is dry, you can start painting.
Step 3: Watercolor the dark, blue sky.
Paint with plain water first. Then, apply lush amounts of blue watercolor. You can use various shades of blue. When the watercolor is dry, rub off the masking fluid with your finger.
Step 4: Watercolor the bright, blue mountains.
The colors will overlap as seen below.
Use a sponge to soften the transition between the blue colors.
To create the look of mountains, soak up pigments with a sponge and some tissue paper. First, use the sponge. Refine the lighter areas by “drawing” with the tissue paper.
