Besties Nesties (Two of a kind!)

  I enjoy the challenge of working on the houses in Karen Campbell's book "Happy Hooses," from the "Whimsical Watercolor and How to Draw Series." This "Besties Neasties," was a delightful challenge, with a few more details. There are 13 lessons in this book and I planned to do them  all.

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

I loved this tutorial! Karen's books with tutorials are such a blast!
