Last night I was experimenting on small scale with a painting of a close up textured photograph from the park. I started to paint onto a scraped grey background and then add pen detail on top. I was really pleased with the outcome so today I decided to work on a large board and begin with the same technique.
The watercolour did not quite take to the board the same as it does on the paper, however I did thin the paint out as much as possible to try and create a similar effect. The board currently looks quite flat. This was only my first layer and I am going to go back and try and add more texture into places showing washed out paint and thickly applied paint.
