Back alley line and wash watercolor done from an Urbansketch. Quick, easy technique. Peter Sheeler

This piece is done from an original sketch I did on location in Porto Portugal. The original Urbansketch was even smaller and done in a Strathmore 500 series sketchbook.

My papers of choice include Arches 140lb Hot press and Cold press paper and Strathmore 500 series Sketchbooks. All are 100% cotton rag.
For beginners, I recommend starting with a high quality paper and experimenting with different types. As your style develops, you'll get a feel for which type is best. Waiting to switch to a better quality paper later will be much like learning to paint all over again.

MY PALETTE: All tube paints!
Winsor Newton- Yellow Ochre, Sepia, Burnt Sienna, Sap Green.
DaVinci - Phthalo Blue, Quinachridone Fuchsia.

BRUSH: Curry's brand, 3/8 and #2 brush.
