Painting Method: Start with Patches, Finish with Details

(Link to video) Jeanette and I stop in the wine country of California to paint with our friend Christopher Evans.

 

I'm using a method where I start with a simple patchwork of color and then add details with fine brushes and dry brush techniques.

I'm using a limited palette of watercolor and gouache.

1. Titanium white (gouache)

2. Cadmium yellow (gouache)

3: Yellow ochre (watercolor)

4. Transparent red oxide (watercolor)

5. Pyrrol red (watercolor) 

6. Cobalt blue hue (gouache)

4. Prussian blue (gouache)
