Painting 33

Ref 1000.- Watercolor // Nocturnal Scene

Final result for this process (over hot press paper):

Sequence;

 

 Use of diluted graphite applied with sponge brush (I masked just some Little áreas )

                   Wait for particles to settle and keep adding main features for shadows

 

Wait for particles to settle and then wáter spray to just left the impregnated color on paper

then again wait till completely dry

 

 

Apply loose watercolor to integrate main idea

 

 

As this is hot press paper you need to wait for dry several times to avoid wrinkles

then apply True Film fixer over it and again wait for dry (now you have the underpainting to start applying watercolor glazes and painting feature definitions)

 

Trying to add some additional texture into the dark área I trow a Little salt while painting was wet

 

Final free and loosy details to complement

Ref 1038.- Another nocturnal scene I did but now over cold press paper which I reinforced with watercolor markers
