I’m ready to put some shadows onto the buildings, so I’m using the gray pencil again. Above I am wetting the tip and below you can see that I have colored in some small shadow shapes. They look a bit dark because the color is more intense when you draw with a wet tip.
Above, I have painted over the shadow shapes with a wet brush . . . .
And below I have blotted those areas with a tissue to lift some of the excess paint.
Above, I have used the gray pencil on the lighthouse. This time I have colored a line slightly off center, and then wet it with the brush and pulled the color out on either side of the gray line.
OK, I admit it, you're making me want to get out my watercolor pencils and do something serious with them...
ReplyDeleteVery interesting demo, Deb. I gave a set of watercolor pencils to my mother as a gift last year, but I don't think that she has used them. I will try to borrow them from her one of these days to try and follow your demo. Thank you for sharing your expertise so generously with all.
ReplyDeleteRhonda - just add this to your list of "to dos"!
ReplyDeleteChristiane - you are an Indian Giver!! Maybe you two can work on this project together.
Good series of instructional posts Debs. In case you don't get back to my iris comments, thought you'd like to know that Lana Vanguard is a French version of the American YUPO and much easier to source here in England.
