Cottage watercolour Painting

Cottage watercolour painting

Cottage watercolour painting and here you can an horizontal wall three quarters down the paper which goes right across the photograph

the same as the horizontal at the bottom of the paper. We need to do something here and you can see a road to the right of the white cottage so we can elongate this road right through the wall breaking up the horizontal of the wall and bringing it out to the front of the white cottage.

First I draw the composition out the way I want it and don't be afraid to change things if you think the composition needs it. Here I have altered the horizontal of the wall to more of a diagonal but not too much otherwise we would be transforming the composition instead of altering it slightly to our liking.

Here I've darkened the main parts of the composition which need to stand out more than the rest which can just be suggested.

Here I wet the sky area with clean water and mix an ultramarine blue, alizarin crimson and a touch of yellow ochre and drop this colour into the sky. I'm creating the sky here really because there isn't much sky in the photograph and its much more fun doing your own thing. You don't need to paint exactly what you see, it is far better to generalise in what you see rather than to be too specific.

You can see that the sky paint is still wet so in goes a wet cerulean blue into it.

The background trees go in while the background sky is still wet, the aim is to blend just about everything in leaving some areas unblended.

Email me even if its just for a chat I reply to you within the hour.
