The Lady In Grey. It measures 19 cm x 28 cm and was painted on Saunders Waterford high white paper, 140 lb NOT. It was painted in watercolour without a preliminary sketch. But I did do a pencil sketch on a separate sheet of paper first just to get a feel for the shapes and lines. Here’s my pencil sketch:
Practicing my drawing in a separate sketchbook helps me to draw better with my paintbrush. The colours for the skin tones were: Buff Titanium, Naples Yellow, Quinacridone Coral and Burnt Sienna. The grey shawl was painted with a mix of Cobalt Blue and Buff Titanium to make a lovely soft blue/grey.
