Pen and Wash Watercolor Tutorial. Cape Spear Lighthouse by Peter Sheeler

Another Newfoundland inspired watercolor. Cape Spear Lighthouse in St John's.

PEN: The Uni-ball deluxe micron pen. .05 nib. These pens are extremely waterproof on my papers and can be painted over immediately.

PAPER:
Arches 1401b Cold Press Paper for this Video.

My papers of choice include Arches 140lb Hot press and Cold press paper and Strathmore 500 series Sketchbooks. All are 100% cotton rag.

For beginners, I recommend starting with a high quality paper and experimenting with different types. As your style develops, you'll get a feel for which type is best. Waiting to switch to a better quality paper later will be much like learning to paint all over again.

MY PALETTE: All tube paints!

Winsor newton- Yellow Ochre, Sepia, Burnt Sienna, Winsor Red, Davy's Gray, Ultramarine, Sap Green.
DaVinci - Phthalo Blue, Quinachridone Fuchsia, Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Cadmium Yellow Deep.

A note on Davy's Gray: I rarely use this pigment straight and when using it I usually mix it with each colour used.

PAINT PALETTE:

The palette is the mixing tray from a "Koi" Watercolour travel set. The colours are set up so the ones I mix together most often are close together.

BRUSH:
A Polar Flo 1/2 inch flat brush is my current favorite. The bristle were originally white but have become stained.
I often use inexpensive brushes because several of my techniques are quite abusive.

Whenever the brush disappears from the screen it is either being wiped off or rinsed.

REFERENCE IDEAS: come from my imagination/memory, my own photos or by painting on location.
