Making Clouds and Hills
You can use the same basic open arc shape to make clouds and hills.
Use the circle tool to make an open arc. You can leave it smooth and just add a gradient or you can add water color gouache ink or other filters depending on the degree of transperency you want.
Remember you can use handles to change the angle of the gradient and flip or rotate the object.
I also used that basic shape to make clouds by shaping the color and rotating and flipping.
The hills are about 3 or 4 objects. US DUPLICATE.
I have only half finished this to show you the layering.
Unless you're aiming for hills retreating into distance put the lightest objects on the top.
I'm probably going to add at least two more objects to blend the tones.
Oh since I don't own a tablet all this was done using a touchpad on my laptop and
COMBINING INKSCAPE FILTERS AND TOOLS
Unlike traditional watercolor on paper I don't have to stretch paper or wait for paint to dry or worry about paint dripping or the wet into wet blending not working though if you have water media experience especially with transperent watercolor that helps.
