Misty Glacier Mountain Lake Water Color Bkgrnd Tutorial Painting for a Beaver
Misty Glacier and Mountain Lake Water Color Background Tutorial Painting for a Beaver Floatplane
Thur July 30 2026 post 1 of 2
I wanted to paint a pic of my 30" Beaver, but I needed to find a good landscape scenery background tutorial, on the web, first, for water color painting.
I followed this beginner tutorial, which has all blues and greens for coloring. First, I printed out the final pic of the tutorial, and I went step by step, using the final pic as a reference, and pausing the tutorial playing on my Computer screen. This was really easy. There are many of these tutorials on the web.
I also cut out a Beaver pic for the painting.

Pic #1 4275 Progress on the trees.
Pic #2 4276 Test fit of the Beaver cutout placement. I looked for a flying beaver on the net, and this was the right size to print and cut out, and use, to find a good spot for it.
Pic #3 4278 And here is my result. The trees need more greenery, and there could be more definition to the misty glacier. Maybe I will search water color painting of glaciers. But, I do like how it turned out. There are great tips in these videos.
Pic #4 4281 Voila! ;D :) Closeup.
