The demonstration will concentrate on urban or town architectural landscapes. John will demonstrate how to work from reference photos to create a reasonably accurate drawing on the watercolor paper used in the painting. He will show how he uses tracing paper to create a value study from a black and white reference photo and will use this study to paint a grisaille underpainting on my watercolor paper. Then John will demonstrate how he uses a splash and spatter and bloom technique to create some interesting background for the painting before beginning to paint with the various colors of the piece. The goal of the day will be to create a painting that is more interesting than the original photo and to have some fun.
