Haunted Hutch

 

I'm back working on the houses in Karen Campbell's new book "Happy Hooses," from the "Whimsical Watercolor and How to Draw Series." This "Haunted Hutch," was a challenge, but it worked out fine. This is the last of the 13 lessons in Karen's book, but I chose not to wait till I was on it. I wanted to be ready for Halloween!

 I drew this house onto my Fabriano 140 lb. hot press paper and outlined the house with Molotow Blackliners.  I painted the house using Winsor Newton watercolors. In addition, I used a Prismacolor pencil to darken some areas. I used a Blackwing pencil and blender stump for the shadows. I read and followed Karen's tutorial in the book, but substituted other paint sets.  

I so enjoy doing these!
