Rainbow Roost

 



 This "Rainbow Roost," is from Karen Campbell's book "Happy Hooses" and it is her 5th book in the Whimsical Watercolor and How to Draw Series.   

I drew that building on 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 and a Gelly Roll Pen for white highlights. I read and followed Karen's tutorial in the book, but used different paint sets than what she used. I love how mine came out!

I've learned so much by coping these wonderful house tutorials!
