Watercolour Challenge 221: Loose Watercolour Buildings (Patreon)

Hi everyone, you may have thought we were done with Le Vin Perdu but we have one last piece of the puzzle! When you spend a long time on a detailed painting, it's the perfect opportunity to have a go at painting it fast and loose!

I love loose watercolour buildings and street scenes. They seem to convey an accurate scene with a real economy of painting. Have a go at this exercise and see how you get on.

I had a second go after filming and I have attached that second painting below. I learned lots from the first attempt and that is what I want to emphasise: Getting it right first time is as likely as winning the lottery. However happy you are with a first painting, be sure in the knowledge that trying it a minutes, hours or days later will be the best lesson you can learn of your own art.

You will need:Cold pressed paper the same size as your other painting.

Brushes I used: Pointed round size 8,4,0  Mop Brush, Flat Brush

Colours I used :Cobalt Blue Deep, Winsor Blue, Buff Titanium, Sap Green, Green Gold, Deep Sap Green, Ivory Black, Paynes Grey, Burnt Sienna, Cadmium Orange.
