Hi everyone, I was asked to look into the colour Sepia (Winsor and Newton) to see what would happen if I painted a whole piece in just one colour. Using the value scale (diluting the colour) we can do a lot! So here it is, one more one session watercolour challenge for you, painting an Osprey's nest from the Grand Tetons National Park.
Don't worry if you don't have Sepia, just use this as an opportunity to paint a whole piece in a single colour, choose the colour you want!
The reference photo (taken by Ant) is below.
You will need:
One colour - I chose Sepia
hb pencil
soft and hard erasers
Brushes: mop, pointed round size 8,2,0
Cold pressed watercolour paper 9x6 inches
