The question I had in mind initially was, how to go about, but thought , since there are a wide variety of approaches, subjects etc.., painters , I thought it might as well as in more personal terms.
I realize the question is a very broad one, but things am thinking are some like below ( in no specific order ):
1. Given a subject/sketch/reference in front of you and a plain watercolor paper , how do you go about it ?
2. Am thinking, stuff like, how do you seperate areas that you will work wet-in-wet, or as independent sections etc..
3. How do you bring about harmony of colors across the scene ? Do you work all over for achieving that ?
4. How do you skip from one area to another ? Do you plan ahead, to specific details ?
5. How do you work your shadows ? Do you lay in base tone and then go over at a later stage ?
6. Light-to-dark, back-to-front ?
7. Or... one object at a time ??
Then I start making main lines to go from there and complete the idea
Then when I've painted it inside my head long enough I turn to the paper and paints - et voila! - it begins to appear. Not exactly like I imagined either. Here's one that took 4 or more hours to plan and imagine - and 45 minutes to paint: as an idea
