| Back of Millfield Terrace in winter Watercolour and acrylic ink |
I started this one with a fairly careful pencil drawing and some blue masking fluid to reserve the highlights. I knew that getting this structure in place early on would enable me to apply the paint and ink freely in later stages.
Firstly the warm sky and reflections in greenhouse glass plus some warmth for the snow in the foreground.
Next I used a mix of ultramarine blue watercolour and sepia acrylic ink diluted with water for the snow in shadow areas and the shadowy backs of the terraced houses, sheds, fences etc.
When that was all dry I went back in with neat ink and a wet brush to confirm all the darkest passages. All that was left to do then was the peeling off of the masking fluid when the paint was dry.
COUNTDOWN!! Only 32 days until my big exhibition begins in Nottingham UK...
