This assignment was to create 10 watercolors and 10 matching line drawings with the subject being a combination of landscapes and architecture. I enjoyed doing the line drawings because there was more of a sense of control. I seemed to use the line drawings as comps of the later watercolors so I knew where the positioning should go in the watercolors. This made the watercolors easier because I already had an idea of where elements should go and where the highlights and shadows should be. The line drawings forced me to map out where the values should go.
The barn line drawing was probably one of my most successful because of all the different variations of line type: direction, cross-hatch, and squiggly. I liked how the sky turned out on the boat/sunset watercolor. I used paper towels for the texture and blotted out some of the color.
