Red Roof Progression

Red House on the Bluff
8x10" Original Watercolor, Line and Wash


First, I used a photo reference and micron pen....no preliminary drawing, no eraser!

Next I painted a pattern of light and shadow.



Finally, I worked on the variations of light and dark tones, warm and cool colors and textures, while trying to keep it fresh and "sketchy".

 This one's not in the show at Gallery by the Bay. I just finished it in the studio yesterday.
