We literally trapezoid and then another along gaity trapezoid on it. Stop finally drove this U shape and joined its anger points with some lines. Toe the top off the ben, the sides off the roof a beat. Then throw the site Terrorists sees. It's an old age building. You can use crack, erred bent lines instead, off straight lines, I throw another rules and another side terrorists with fans and stairs. The end off the stairs needs into the abbey's. Some cypress trees grow on the steep cliffs just to make the Seymour mysterious. I add the bush to the other side to keep the composition balanced. Now I have the rough sketch. So I continue with the details. I drew the chimney and the moon from the chimney. A swirling smoke goes after the sky. You can draw the smoke with throwing swirling lines. You can imagine them like the letter s and the rivers Letter s or the letter Seas and rivers letter sees. - Then I drove around the window and the roof. I drove a back honey and some being those on the bottom. Pedro large mean those and the side balcony on the tower. I decided to add the smaller tower to the composition. It will look similar, like the big tower. I add some swirling lines through the smoke and it's finished. Let's start thinking. 5. Preparations: Tracing the Line Art: tracing the lines. First, put the Leinart facing towards the voter color paper. They them together so the papers won't slide where you trace with your pants.

I we used at water coolers that they're probably cover my past the lines. So a dark waterproof in your state visible even uncovered the dark pains. I throw strikes on the roof because it makes the roof visually more interesting. I also outlined the smoke. Please feel free to rotate your paper. It has you to find more comfortable hand positions to grow, or so you're inclines. We look nicer if you breathe deeply and you stay relaxed during the thinking process.

So breathe deeply, inhale, and when you accept exactly, that's when you should throw your lines, try it out yourself and share your experiences with me. 7. Preparations: Applying the Masking Tape: using the masking tape, I fix the paper to the drawing board. Be to take. I do this to prevent the paper become baby because off the voter, since I use heavy take 300 grams watercolor paper, I don't fear that I would need to moist on the paper before the taping. It will be fine like this, but if you use a tener paper, you should soak your paper in water for a minute and tape that most int paper on the board stretched out. Think, or the four sides off the paper carefully, and Vohra, it's ready for painting. 8. Painting: Background : painting the background.
