Fog can completely transform a landscape — softening edges, creating atmosphere, and adding depth without overworking your painting.

In this full watercolor lesson, I’ll show you how to paint fog below a mountain using a student reference photo. We’ll focus on keeping the painting simple, loose, and expressive while still creating a believable atmosphere.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn:

• How to paint fog in watercolor
• Softening edges to create mist and depth
• Keeping your mountain landscape simple and loose
• Using water-to-color ratio for atmosphere
• Avoiding overworking your painting

Fog is not about detail — it’s about suggestion. The key is knowing when to stop and letting the water do the work.
