I've been looking forward to using a line and wash technique to paint a lighthouse. I found an image perfect for this in the book, "Watercolor With Me in the Ocean," by Dana Fox. This is one of the three books she wrote on watercolor painting.
As usual I traced the iconic image and transferred it to my watercolor paper with the help of my light box.
When doing the line and wash, the process begins with sketching the subject in ink before applying quick, light washes of color to it. I used a Micron ink pen to trace over my pencil lines before I applied the watercolors. I used Winsor and Newton Cotman tubes on 140 lb cold press Canson watercolor paper for this painting.
