Summer Postcard Series: Full Length New York City Break (Patreon)

Hi everyone, you will have seen this quick cut video on social media. As per usual, Patrons get the longer version to give you painting inspiration!

This is part of the Summer Postcard series. I think these would be amazing summer party invitations too! The focus is on an easy, breezy vibe which is reflected in the naive, undetailed painting approach. I'm using a brush that's just a bit larger than is comfortable and by doing that it creates these slightly childish paintings. The other key thing is unpainted space. Leave little bits unpainted here and there on your illustrations and the charm factor goes through the roof!

Cold Pressed watercolour Paper post car size 10.5 x 14.8cm

Colours I used: Hansa Yellow Medium, Ivory Black, Aqua Green, Paynes Grey, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, French Ultramarine Blue, Sap Green, Organic Vermillion, Cerulean Blue Red Shade
