Gorram Tracy Island
Part fifteen Water palavah!
The paper layer was dry this morning and I had a late start at work so grabbed my paints to get cracking before leaving.
Four paints in total were used; titanium white, black, burnt umber and phthalocyanine green (phthalo for short). I used pretty cheap Pebeo acrylics and followed the guide linked in the last video.
Starting at the shoreline with a light brown (white and a touch of umber) then add more green m, up to pure phthalo then start adding in black as the water gets deeper. Each paint is out on in a line and then you go in with a clean, wet brush and blend the tones together. I found I liked blending dark into light more than the other way round as I want to water to appear deeper.
This was the point I realised I don’t have enough phthalo to do the whole way round the island. Bugger. I don’t have time to grab another bottle today so it is tools down until tomorrow night.
