“ROCKY SHORE”

This painting is about taking a conventional subject but painting it using unconventional colors. Using “skim milk” washes, I wet the paper using pinks, blues, yellows and greens allowing the colors to softly blend together. As the paper dried, the rocks and grasses were loosely painted in. Details came once the paper was completely dry. The final feature is a glaze of cerulean blue and ultramarine blue.

Brushes: 1” flat, #10 round or any suitable brush of your choice.

Colors:  Full Palette.

(The brand I use is DVP, DiVinci Brand Artist’s quality but any brand will do).

Paper:  Quarter sheet of 140lb of any good quality watercolor paper – my personal favorite is TH Saunders – either 200lb or 140lb.

You will also need: Water Container, rags (cotton towels are excellent), sketch paper for exercises and note taking and a hairdryer.
