I want to push the boundaries of what is possible with Watercolour during July. These are not finished pieces but a journey of discovery!
I’ve come to love text in images. This is a view of Warwick castle. It’s also a picture of my new toy, a Lyra water soluble graphite stick.
In watercolour we often forget to paint the big shapes and then work up the details. I have seen many paintings go wrong with a small brush and too much details from the start.
I use newspaper to establish the main shapes of the painting. I love the dark space under the tree to the right of the painting and also the dark bush on the top of the hill on the right. I’m not keen on the abrupt edged at the bottom of the bridge.
Day 4 Complete.
