From photograph to Painting
My 5th water colour painting in the Leh Ladakh series.
As I mentioned in my earlier post I am referring to photographs given by my friend who visited Leh Ladakh a few years back. For my present painting For my present painting referred to the photograph as given below.
But I wanted to make a few changes in the colour and composition. So I decided to keep just one
vehicle, give the road a wet effect and add the reflections of red light . Never painted or sketched a
vehicle before . The paper I used for this particular painting is FABRIANO AQUARELLA cold pressed
200gsm paper.
On the Road
Water colour painting on Fabriano paper
Size 9" X 11" ( Including the size of mountboard )
The better quality paper in Fabriano for water colour painting is 300gsm, ARTISTICO cold pressed.
Right now I have the 200gsm pad since I purchased it in one of he sale sessions but I plan to buy the 300gsm paper soon. Most other papers tend to buckle with application of water especially when we
are doing wet on wet technique where lot of water is applied right at the beginning.
Good website! I truly love how it is easy on my eyes it is. I am wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your RSS which may do the trick? Have a great day! leh ladakh bike trip
