Neat & Sweet Abode


 

 
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 "Neat & Sweet," was a challenge, but I'm so happy it worked out fine. This is the third I have done in the book of 13 lessons. I'm looking forward to more.

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

I'll be doing more of these!
