Step by Step in-class Watercolor Painting Demonstration
How to Paint Rocks and Snow in Zion National Park
Step by step watercolor painting demonstration by Roland Lee
A sketching trip to Zion National Park during January 2010 was the stimulus for this watercolor painting. I used the reference for a watercolor demonstration during one of my St. George, UT Two-Day Watercolor Painting Workshops in 2010. Thanks to Gayle Alger for shooting the video clips during the class.

1. I shot this reference photo while hiking in Zion Canyon during January 2010. A fresh blanket of snow had recently fallen. The air was crisp and the contrast of white against the red sandstone rocks was exciting.
2. I begin with a small 3" x 5" Thumbnail value study to help plan the overall design composition and work out the darks and lights. With this study taped to my art board I am ready to start the painting. Notice I am even planning that the clouds in the sky will lead down to my center of interest.
3. I'm working on 140 lb. Arches Cold Press watercolor paper, which is my favorite paper for smaller works. I wet the sky area first, then drop in my colors using first Yellow Ochre, then Cadmium red Light, followed by Ultramarine Blue, which gives me the warm grays of the cloud shadow. As it begins to dry I block in the big rock masses.
4. While painting I keep my value study and reference photo nearby. I pay more attention to my value study than the photo. I am simplifying the shapes to direct the viewer's attention to the areas that are most important.
5. Finished 40-minute Painting
