Line and Wash Watercolor Lesson, Bumble bee on a Thistle. Easy to follow. Peter Sheeler

Описание: Pen and wash demonstration of a Bumble Bee on a Thistle.

My demonstrations are done in smaller sizes, allowing the viewer to get in closer to the painting and better see my techniques. These are the same techniques I use on all of my large paintings.

PAPER: Size- 5"x7"
Arches 140lb Hot Press Paper for this Video.

My papers of choice include Arches 140lb Hot press and Cold press paper and Strathmore 500 series Sketchbooks. All are 100% cotton rag.
For beginners, I recommend starting with a high quality paper and experimenting with different types. As your style develops, you'll get a feel for which type is best. Waiting to switch to a better quality paper later will be much like learning to paint all over again.

MY PALETTE: All tube paints!
Winsor Newton- Yellow Ochre, Sepia, Burnt Sienna, Winsor Red, Davy's Gray, Ultramarine, Sap Green.
DaVinci - Phthalo Blue, Quinachridone Fuchsia, Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Cadmium Yellow Deep.
A note on Davy's Gray: I rarely use this pigment straight and when using it I usually mix it with each colour used.

PAINT PALETTE::
The palette is the mixing tray from a "Koi" Watercolour travel set. The colours are set up so the ones I mix together most often are close together.

BRUSH: An inexpensive, Curry's brand 3/8 Flat and a # 2 detail.
I often use inexpensive brushes because several of my techniques are quite abusive.
Whenever the brush disappears from the screen it is either being wiped off or rinsed.

PEN: Pigma Micron 005 pen
