Watercolor On R-tistx Board |
||||
I began with my traditional three mood washes on a wet surface, so the colors would glow through the detail work. Then I established the darks in the background to make the flowers and the chairs stand out against the darks. It took a number of glazes to get the values that I wanted. And it is easy to glaze over and over on this surface. The foreground shadows were established with a multi-colored shadow wash and a soft squirrel brush that comes to a nice point. Since much of the surface deals with the shadows, I didn't want them to be dull. Hence, the colors that you see. When the shadow wash was of the correct value, I painted in the stonework and tried to lead the eye into the focal point of the painting. See the Snowy Landscape on R-tistx Board
