STAGE 2 TRANSFERRING THE DRAWING
I use a light table to transfer my drawing to my watercolor paper. I leave one light on in the room to make sure I don’t draw too dark.
STAGE 3 MASKING THE PAINTING
I will mask areas to protect them. I used masking fluid on some shapes
in the water. The masking tape gives a cleaner edge, but the fluid is
easier to use on small, rounded shapes. STAGE 4 WET-ON-WET WATER
I began the painting by wetting the entire background
and painting in a variety of warm and cool peachy colors.
I wanted to give the background a toned warm feeling to
mimic the sunset.
