Line and Wash "Winter Farm" Watercolor with just Two Colors. Great beginner Lesson. Peter Sheeler

Winter has arrived and it's time for a seasonal painting. This simple, two color painting is a great exercise for beginners and more experienced painters.

This was done from imagination/memory without a reference photo.

Materials:

PEN: Copic Multiliner. A pigment based ink.

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.

PAPER: Size- 5"x7"
Arches 1401b 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.

PAINT: Winsor Newton Ultramarine Blue and Sepia.
Tube paint on slips of paper stuck down with two sided tape.
