I love working on the houses in Karen Campbell's new book "Happy Hooses," from the "Whimsical Watercolor and How to Draw Series." This "Lantern Lookout," was fun to work on, it kind of has the Florida look. Out of the 13 lessons in Karen's book, I just to work on it out of order. I'm a transplanted New Yorker living in Florida for more than 20 years!
I drew this house onto my Fabriano 140 lb. hot press paper and outlined the house with Molotow Blackliners. I painted this piece using Jane Davenport 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!
