Watercolour Challenge 27 (Patreon)

Happy Tuesday, I absolutely loved painting this part of our Townhouse challenge. We've got a new approach to windows and a really simple but effective technique to paint roof tiles.

A huge welcome to our new Patrons! If this is your first watercolour challenge then I  recommend going back through the previous challenges to get yourself up to speed and see how this all works. All the while you can access all the tutorials on my youtube channel if you would like to go through some watercolour for beginners basics or brush up on other skills.

This is a private youtube link which only you sweet pea and cherry blossom patrons have access to.

You will need

Your work in progress piece

A range of paintbrushes

Colours I used: Burnt Sienna, French Ultramarine Blue, Mars Black

Jar of water

Kitchen roll to blot the brush

After watching the video...(if you can watch it on a screen larger than a phone that will improve the viewing experience as there is quite a bit of pencil drawing at the start)

Using your smallest brushes, create white window panes out of negative space for all your windows

Paint your roof with a brush that creates a lovely roof tile shape. 

Next week we are going for gold and there will be plenty of elements for you to work out yourself using all the skills you've learnt up until now!

Although this is a work in progress I would still encourage sharing your work. Use #dwpcchallenge and tag me @dewintonpaperco. And please do have a look at everyone else's interpretations of the brief (search the hashtag and you will see all the patreon insta posts from everyone in here) and celebrate each other's work. We learn from seeing how others interpret a single brief so a community encourages progres

Comment below with your findings, and if you are sharing your work on Instagram, use the #dwpcchallenge and tag me @dewintonpaperco.

Have a wonderful week.
