PEN and WASH

I have now decided to use this blog site to post my completed art along with

commentary on why I chose it and how I went about painting it.

 

 

Children on Church gate

 

This was a demonstration pen and wash chosen for it's simplicity  to make the point that pen and wash used when painting outside is basically an information gathering for a painting done later in the studio, coupled with a photograph it will supply you with enough information to know just how you are going to  complete the work.

 

I first draw all the major shapes lightly with a pencil with no detail.

 

A fine liner describes the textures and lines  to the shapes within and on the outer edges.

 

I use the watercolour to indicate colour notes to indicate  mood.

 

 

ARTWORK ON PAPER

FLOWERS FROM OUR GARDEN

 

I have decided to change the content of this blog to include all media that can be accomplished on paper or board.
Each picture will  have a brief description of the media used and my method of application.
This first picture is a watercolour painted on Arches cold press 300gsm
The flowers are from the garden first draw lightly with a 2b pencils then masked with masking fluid,
The back ground was painted wet on wet.
When dry and the masking removed I applied shadows to the blooms which bought od the shapes of the petals.
