Here’s another watercolor done on location. I sat on a bench in Bush Pasture Park near the rose garden and looked across the street. It was late afternoon. I experimented with using a white crayon to block out some areas in the sky and houses.<\/div>\n

Pencil and watercolor on 3 x 6 inch paper. About 30 minutes. I used a combination of my pencil palette and the Daler-Rawney travel palette. I pre-wet the travel palette colors with a drop of water in each pan.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I took the reference photo with my cellphone and cropped it on the computer.<\/div>\n

It’s hard to get a full contrast range while sketching on location. You should wait for the paint to dry before going back in with darker colors, but you don’t have time so the darks bleed. Next time I’ll try doing a grayscale sketch with pen and waterproof ink and then add color. Ink dries a lot faster.<\/div>\n
