Rocks in Whitewater

[Balaji]

This is an approximately 8.5" x 5.5" watercolour sketch inspired by a painting by Julie Gilbert Pollard.

Thank you Ayin.

Great sketch, with a wonderful variety of textures and motion. Just enough realism.

Very nice shadow tones.

Beautifully done! The water is moving and splashing and the rocks have such natural colors. Do you use masking fluid, Balaji, or do you save the whites somehow?

Joy, Murray... Thank you.

Thank you Donna. I saved the whites, and in a very few places I scraped a layer of paint off to expose either the paper, or the underlying light wash. I was greatly helped by the fact that I had JGP's painting to refer to.

Nicely done with a very challenging subject.
