Morning coffee

watercolor and ink on paper...these are meditations on spring break

 

Life in southern France. I am going to paint one painting (at least) a day.

My method is to sketch it all out in a light tone with my color pencils, and then follow with alternations of ink and watercolor washes. It's a fairly quick way to figure out the composition, perspective and the direction of light, but it still takes me about an hour!
