Painting moonlight winter shadows and dramatic skies. Line and wash watercolor. Peter Sheeler

I am always surprised by the shadows cast by a full moon in winter. Try darkening the lower sky area for even greater effect.

MATERIALS

PEN: A Platinum Century fountain pen with an Ultra Extra fine nib and Platinum Carbon Black ink.

PAPER: Size- 5"x7"
Arches 140lb Hot 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. **I plan to replace the Fuchsia with Winsor Newton Quinacridone Magenta when mine runs out.**

MIXING 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 Currys #3 brush.
A Polar Flo 1/2 inch flat brush is my current favorite. The bristle were originally white but have become stained.

Featuring new music by Antonio Romo.
