Pencil Outline and Painting Update
Here I,m starting with a very simple pencil outline, no detail just the general shape and position of the main features. I'm just concerned with getting the building placed comfortably on the page with plenty of white space all around. This time I've saved a 1/4 inch border using masking tape, to help with the appearance. I,ve added a car and might add some figures for interest. The next step will be to cover the sheet with my background glaze which will stand for the sunlit areas. In watercolor painting we usually work from light to dark and from far to near - just a general rule. In the 3rd pic I added a second glaze - which modelled the trees , strengthened the foreground, and started to define the car, fence, steps, doors and windows. I the 4th pic I added the shadows using a mix of blue, red and a touch of brown. I the last pic I added final touches and some birds and some lines to lead the eye in.
