Last weekend my charming assistant/husband helped me film this time-lapse video of yours truly painting a watercolor landscape. He also edited and produced it for me. Thanks, Jonathan! This is my first attempt at filming and isn’t my best landscape ever (the composition could be better) but it shows my painting technique and it’s (hopefully) interesting to watch it all come together. And without further ado, a painting from start to finish:
For the curious, pigments include:
Payne’s Gray, French Ultramarine, Prussian Blue, Sap Green, Quinacridone Gold, Yellow Ochre, Pyrrole Red Light, and a touch of Quinacridone Magenta, probably some other stuff.
Brushes:
Synthetic 1″ flat, Winsor & Newton sable flats in 1/2″ and 3/4,” Raphael Sable round #4, Winsor & Newton rigger
Paper:
Hahnemuhle “Turner” watercolor block, 24×32 cm

That was really neat. I wish I could tell how she was refining the shapes… pathfinder? Masks?
ditto! slow down.
that was awesome though.
Yay, thanks Drawn!
Kim, yes, mostly it’s masks with the pathfinder joining, cutting shapes.
this is amazing, How are you doing the gradients? Thats the biggest hurdle I have in illustrator. I can’t get them to work right for me!
How are you filling in specific areas with color? Masks?
