Street Lamps in Snow

[KreativeK]

7x5 watercolor Brusho and white wax crayon as a resist in this imaginary downtown scene of lamps during winter. After a pencil sketch and white areas with crayon, I used fine mist sprayer to add water to dry paper then sprinkled grey Brusho crystals. With a brush I carefully went over the various parts of the composition. When dry a script liner brush mixed with sepia and indigo added dark areas of the lamp post and iron fence. Snowy street parts were a mix of Prussian blue watercolor and palette mud to vary the values.
C&C welcome

Nice one Kay, that scene looks chilly! Even at 7x5 size you seem much more in control of your wax crayon than I am managing to be! Prussian blue is one of my favourite colours.

This is really nice, good control of the watercolor paint. I am too detail oriented to make beautiful watercolors like this.

Wow Kay. I just love this technique. This turned out so beautiful. I don't know anything about Brusho. (I understand the resist part.) Maybe sometime you could make a thread about how to use this technique in the Art School Forum as a tutorial (if you want to). I think a lot of people here (like me!) would be thrilled to know more about it!

 

[KreativeK]

Thanks and that’s a great idea!

Wow-wow-whee! The background could be the rock upon which Edinburgh castle sits.

Thank you all! I'm working on a tutorial using Brusho and finished it today so hopefully will find time to squeeze it in here soon.

Wonderful, Kay. I would like to see the process, too.
