The following technique is under experimentation, and this is my first painting, which I discovered by a wonderful mistake
I was wondering how to make the shrouds the foremast and main moorings in a fade away through a misty environment,
I decided to work over hot press paper, which was the initial mistake, because it can not absorb so much soaking; however I continue working without so much thinking about it; therefore I start by painting the first fine lines with pencil which were to dark for my purpose, I tried to lift it out with wáter and this paper didn´t help, that is when I thought in modeling paste, which is a Little bit transparent if the thickness is quite small, so I applied the layer with an spatula.- after dry completely the result was better tan expected and I continued painting above this first layer but now with watercolor,.- I painted basically the foresky sail and the forelower sail and some yards of the different mast with a blend of ochre and orange, also I applied previously some yellow color for the sky in the background and into the sails at this time again I reinforced some lines with a dark pencil , the result was to heavy in color for my purpose so instead to lift the paint again, considering this type of paper I rather apply again another "modeling paste" layer above but now in a selective way trying to represent the mist I was looking for, finally after dry completely I put my signature in which you can see the difference in color below and above the last modeling paste layer
In other words at this technique I named sándwich because of that
1st pencil
2nd modeling paste layer (applied with spatula)
3rd watercolor and fine pencil reinforcement
4th modeling paste selective layer (adding wáter as needed)
5th final touch and details
