Easy beginner watercolor lesson - simple sail boats. Simple tutorial for new watercolour artists.

This video teaches the steps for drawing and painting simple sail boats for your watercolor seascape. I show you how to create sail boats, bright clean looking skies, sunrise colors, and reflections. The importance of how sail boats can be used to create a good design in your painting is also discussed. The painting is produced with a limited palette of just 6 colors. This is the seventh in a series of watercolor tutorials for people who have limited time but would still like to paint on a regular basis.
