Portland Lighthouse Watercolor


 I was so happy to find that Paul Clark chose to teach a lighthouse as one of his weekly tutorials. This is Portland Lighthouse in the USA! I discovered there are several Portlands in the USA, but I'm thinking this one is in Main!

I so enjoyed the many challenges this tutorial gave me and I'm so very pleased with the results!

The rocky cliff was done with a piece of Cling Wrap crushed over a watery mess of watercolor paints and left there for more than 10 minutes. After removing the wrap, I went in with my brush and more paints adding more to the rough rocky surface.

I painted this scene using Winsor Newton Cotman watercolor tubes on Canson 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper. The piece was enhanced with table salt, General's Pastel Chalk Pencils, and a bit of scratching with a craft blade for shine to the water..
