I guess I commented too soon as it looks as it is ink in the water brush. I guess my next question is how did you ink not smear when you added the water brush immediately after?
@@seethelines It may look different for you but you definitely missed many more interesting places that really showcase the Moroccan culture, this is just random souk in the city
I was at that exact location last September. Your sketch brought back all the vibrancy and surprise of the magic found down any street in Lisbon. Great insight into the process!
Getting rid of my fear of not getting it 'perfect' was my biggest issue. I was scared to paint then would ruin the painting trying to get it right. I started doing very quick sketches using a fountain pen and not caring if the lines were straight or I had to add a second line. Then I applied the colours loosely wet on wet , letting them spread into each other. Quite frankly, I enjoyed the process more and liked the end results better. It gives the scene a certain charm.
Amen to that! I come from an architecture design background so it's been a journey of filtering that perfectionist tendency whilst having systems for line weights and such for depth and dynamics
I just realized that the beautiful pattern of light and shadow in these medieval cities comes from non rectilinear street patterns. Manhattan, Chicago, and Los Angeles are much less interesting.
