Adding loose watercolour to a line drawing

I set out to add very minimal watercolour washes to this line drawing, and reckoned I could do it in less than 7-8 minutes. I hadn't reckoned with my inbuilt 'what if' sense though, and needed up adding far more than I intended to: even at the point where I stopped, I could feel myself wanting to add even more colour to the buildings, ti the street scene.....it's a curse I tell you! Still, I'm fairly happy with the finished result, and hope you like it.....as always, comment away and suggest anything you might like to see me demonstrate next?

Lovely work, I use a fountain pen for drawing too. I have a Kaweko pen but I love the Lamy Safari pens.

Hi! Glad to have found you! Loved the blowing paint technique. I hadn’t thought of doing that for a suggested surface look. Thanks for posting this!

is it watercolor paper on that sketchbook? is it cold press?

@JohnHarrison51 2 жыл бұрын

It is 100% cotton,& yes, it’s cold press watercolour paper Just enough texture for me, although I do prefer rough 😎

Hi John, do you only do landscape.? I would love to try and paint some little paintings of Morandi’s later in life watercolours of very simple still life (pots usually) …..do you know how I could learn that? Other than that I love the ink/ watercolour landscape you are showing us!

@JohnHarrison51 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks..Yes, my subject matter of choice is usually buildings in the landscape, whether it’s urban or rural… I’m not much good at other stuff: portrait. Life drawing, animals etc…

Hi, I like how relaxed you are….you make watercolour feel possible and quaint…..like sweet…. ….do you ever go wet in wet? And when would a person want to do wet in wet rather than wet into dry?

@JohnHarrison51 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the kind words… I use wet and dry around 97% of the time: I just love the effects you can get with the dry brush a technique on rough paper: The only time I will use wet and wet is when I want to have a more painterly effect on the sky-using blended colours et cetera, and this is usually on a commission rather than a sketchbook piece or demonstration. Another use of wet in wet is in the painting of water, but as I am nowhere near accomplished enough painter to do this convincingly I stay well away from it.
