I keep my reference photo handy to check to see if the shapes and placements are accurate.
Continuing more of the stonework, I shape up the bowl of the fountain, put the right step in, and add more greens to the stone. For this, I use the technique called "scumbling." After I fill my brush with paint, I wick off excess water on a paper towel, and then hold the brush on its side as I drag it across the paper. I let the 300 lb. thick rag Arches watercolor paper do the rest. You can see the results on the stone steps.

ReplyDeleteI have no talent in that direction, mind you; but I love how they come together. :-)
