Three Layers

A simple approach of thinking of foreground, middle ground, and background while using watercolor pencils to color shapes, ink to add lines for definition, and a final layer of water or watercolor paint to finish the sketch. I’m quite happy with my results.

These are the sketches I’ve done for my assignments, famous locations. The first layer is indeed done with watercolor pencil, then some ink lines for definition. Then watercolor paint and water to add the finishing touches. I’d be very happy if my sketches when traveling looked so good. Most of these took me about 15 minutes to quick sketch, from photos. I was trying to work super fast, working along with the instruction video.

My three scenes, same ones I’ve done for the lines, and shapes exercises. Really happy with these. The ink lines are done with my Pentel Brush pen, and I really like it.
