after finishing the initial line drawing I didn’t know if I wanted to add colour or not, I kind of like the simplicity of the line - but was curious to see more depth. I decided to go for shadows, avoiding local colour. I used quinacridone red + ultramarine + sepia to mix my shadows. #lanucia #plaçamajor #valencia #spain #linedrawing #urbansketching #urbansketchers #fineliner #staedtler #urbansketch #esglésiamajor #cerveceria #quinacridonered #sepia #ultramarine #watercolor #winsorandnewton #schmincke #sennelier #shadow #usk

No pen (except for text), no set-up lines, only 6 colours & a water-brush — this is how I try to make my work become more light & loose. #watercolor #watercolorjournal #schmincke #sennelier #waterbrush #sketch #urbansketchers #sketchbook #ais #alteainternationalschool #lanucia #valencia #altea #ultramarine #burntsienna #sepia #quinacridonered #lemonyellow #payne #paynesgray #directwatercolor #paintonly #usk
