Well i started work on another large-scale watercolor piece. This one came from a random sketch in the coffee shop. It is going to be complicated and mechanical...
At this stage I try and get as much information about the general shapes and details. With a drawing of this nature there is one all-encompassing factor- perspective. I utilize the two points of perspective as best I can and draw based on those. I also add vertical lines to keep focus on maintaining verticality.
Here I have started the inking process- this typically starts as smooth a lines as possible, and trying tobe sure and do the foreground objects before adding lines behind... creating depth. I will do a second pass to thicken and highlight specific lines.
Work continues on trying to finish the first frame. I have to paint... let dry... paint and let dry... the entire process is essentially letting things dry. from plaster- to latex- to foam- o latex again to paint and finally to highlights... I will post pictures of the finished work as soon as it gets done- SCHNERT. I am interested in the reception these things will get..
