Pencil Drawing For Watercolor House Portrait #275Z
- Clinker Stylus Sketch
The pencil drawing of the house portrait is the first thing that I do. This is just like the basement foundation of a house, for though it is rough and crude, it is what everything is build upon.
Pen & Ink Drawing
- Stylus Sketch
The pen & ink is then applied after I finish the preliminary pencil sketch. Due to the nature of pen & ink you have to be very careful and precise for it is most unforgiving. What you see is what you get. Also, you cannot “escape” from your errors with “white out” or other gimmicks to cover up a mistake. This is because once you put the watercolor on the paper it dissolves the “mask” and exposes the ink underneath.
Watercolor
- Painting
The watercolor is the last step in the process of producing the rendering. As you can see from the image below the ink clearly delineates the subject and the watercolor graciously compliment the landscape. I particularly enjoy the ornamental hedges at the center of the front lawn. The bulbous forms are a delight to look at.
Scans
- JPEG & PDF
As a follow-up after sending the house portrait to me clients, I email them the scan of the watercolor. The scan can be put into JPEG or PDF formats for making note cards or stationary as follow-up gifts for clients.
