Norfolk Boat
Here you will find image based referance of stages I have documented. Demonstrations and instructions are given in the classes I tutor in Vale of Glamorgan and Cardiff.
The first two drawing are practising drawing of boats and looking at tonal values and composition. The next two are the preparation sketches to create outlines, the first shows a dark outline for easier viewing online the second shows the lighter pencil line we use for the watercolour. The watercolour is then build it up in layers of wet in wet washes and selective wet in wet layers using mixtures of Burnt Sienna and French Ultramarine.
