This painting is not monotone, we have used 2 colours for more interest - Van Dyke Brown and Paynes Grey
When you do the sketch make sure you straighten the church tower! |
Dampen sky with clean water - paint in loose washes of both colours. Don't worry if the paint goes into the buildings. Dab out buildings with paper towel whilst the paint is still wet. Continue with foreground using the same method. Make sure the colour at the bottom is darker. Add colour to area under buildings whilst the paper is still wet. Dry |

Putting in the texture. You can paint in the lines of vines or you can use a printing method. Here I used old packing material. Wash the paint onto the card and use it to print on the paper. Follow the lines of the vines. You can also use a toothbrush to splash on the paint. |
Paint the buildings in large areas. Start with the very dark building. Don't put in the windows yet. Paint in fine lines with a Rigger in the foreground |

Splatter on some white gouache with a toothbrush and paint in fine lines with a white pen for the windows. (Signo uniball by Mitsubishi is a good one) |
