A 365 day art project… one drawing a day
Some adorable homes in Chesapeake… ok, prettier in person. I parked my car and totally creeped on these nice neighbors, just sketching away. Then painted it at home. Does that count as urban sketching? I have so far to go.
I REALLY did not capture the character of this line of homes. 😦
Soooo… I tried the new set of QoR mini watercolor pans again tonight. I did the same exercise, same paints, just used arches cold press watercolor block instead of the cheap paper I was using the other night. (And I made a pattern for the butterfly shape)
What I found was the color shift upon drying was much less noticeable, and the final result was much better. I’m going to try the same thing with daniel smith and schmincke I think.
I really do love the way these QoR paints move.

You can see tonight’s attempt on the better paper yielded much nicer results:
