I worked on this drawing a few days ago and posted it as a WIP.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two people said I should keep the drawing as is, and do a new drawing instead for the Watercolor</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After thinking it over that sounded like a good Idea.</div>

I just love the composition of this, and the shapes of the Fishing Boats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure yet what the background is going to be, a nice sky for sure, the late afternoon sun is hitting the boats in the foreground, so it needs to be a very warm painting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this one I am not going to use ink, so I used a 2H pencil to pencil in the line.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wonder how much of the pencil will show through when it is painted?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a really great Watercolor Demonstration by <a href="https://www.timwilmot.com/" target="_blank">Tim Wilmot</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only are his paintings wonderful, his demonstrations are very helpful, and it is nice to see someone actually showing you what to do and how to do it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has his Watercolor Palette on the right hand side, so you can actually see what colors he is using as he is mixing and painting.<br />
<br />
I don't like to use the artist's photo to paint the scene, however if you want to paint the scene, you can click on <a href="https://tinyurl.com/sfkly7z" target="_blank">Plage La Ponche, St Tropez</a> to the Google Street View of Plage La Ponche, St Tropez.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Very late last night I got the urge to get to work, so I inked my pencil drawing of my new <a href="https://amzn.to/30Ep9oQ" target="_blank">Watercolor Palette</a>. I wanted a larger sketch, so I used my <a href="https://amzn.to/2TFnjmm" target="_blank">Moleskine 135lb CP 8.5 x 11 Watercolor Journal</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I didn't want the starkness of Black Ink, so I decided to use a <a href="https://amzn.to/2NIc4FN" target="_blank">Sakura Micron 01 Sepia Pen</a> to ink the entire drawing</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love using Sakura Micron Pens all the time, they have Archival Inks, and are very light fast, and very economical, and last a long time<br />
<br />
One last step before beginning, is to do some test drawing with different lines. In this example the 01 thickness line seemed much better than the 05 thicker line.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_PlfQ7yZUALHE62rSL9pMkfvqG_UtntnJ11Zalwzdz9xxJRRRDJcsGD6HsZoxOUuQfvTpvRgWz5DN9gaOTeRTdsTNDub6k4-B_TGKdArcmOpuTcgjqY8TGg-eAeCqjX7RzR9Xm_a67g/s1600/Sakura+Micron+Pens+SepiaNIKG%252B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1526" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgX_PlfQ7yZUALHE62rSL9pMkfvqG_UtntnJ11Zalwzdz9xxJRRRDJcsGD6HsZoxOUuQfvTpvRgWz5DN9gaOTeRTdsTNDub6k4-B_TGKdArcmOpuTcgjqY8TGg-eAeCqjX7RzR9Xm_a67g/s320/Sakura+Micron+Pens+SepiaNIKG%252B.jpg" width="305" /></a></div>

<br />
Now I am nervous about the painting part.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A few months ago I bought a new <a href="https://amzn.to/39Ip1bZ" target="_blank">Mijello Watercolor Palette</a> with extra trays, and a tight fitting lid, and I absolutely love it, and it will serve me for years.<br />
<br />
I filled up the 18 wells very quickly, and added another six with some new colors to work with that I have seen other artist's use on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
I was most excited to buy two new tubes of Daniel Smith Watercolors made for Master Watercolor Artist <a href="https://www.josephzbukvic.com/" target="_blank">Joseph Zbukvic</a>. They are his Zbukvic's <a href="https://amzn.to/2MVsg6h" target="_blank">Cool Grey</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/2tyGm6x" target="_blank">Warm Grey</a>. I started using them, and very much like them, and will write another article on what I like about them.<br />
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent 3 days making this color chart with mixing each of the 24 colors with each other.<br />
The Zbukvic Greys are columns 23 and 24 in the chart. <br />
<br />
Let me know what you think.<br />
Cheers and Happy New Year!</div>

<br />
The demo was held in the new <a href="https://opusartsupplies.com/locations/downtown-vancouver" target="_blank">Opus Art Materials</a> location in the Harbour Center in downtown Vancouver just across from Waterfront Station, a major transportation hub.<br />
<br />
For the seascape watercolors she uses Winsor & Newton paints, and primarily uses Antwerp Blue, Indian Yellow, Alizarin Crimson or Brown Madder, and these colors will provide all the colors she needs for the scene.<br />
<br />
Enda called Watercolor her Dance Partner, I am the Leader she said, and the Watercolor is a follower, but must be allowed to do it's own thing.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watch Enda paint this gorgeous watercolor in the videos below.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
A few weeks ago I met with a friend in Vancouver and was invited to stay overnight at their place in Half Moon Bay on the Sunshine Coast of BC.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is a shot of Howe Sound and the Gulf Islands at sunset on the deck of the BC Ferry, Queen of Surrey that travels from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It really felt so magical to be on the deck breathing the sea air and enjoying the evening.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
On Tuesday April 19th I was lucky to attend an Urban Sketching Workshop at Granville Island with a fantastic Chicago artist <a href="http://buttnekkiddoodles.com/" target="_blank">Don Colley</a>. Without question this was the best workshop that I have ever attended.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Don spent the first hour discussing tips, tricks, and methods and best practices with the subject of Urban Sketching. We were fortunate that he brought several of his sketchbooks with him so that we could view them up close, while flipping through the pages as he spoke to us. And I must say that photos just don't do justice to the images in his sketchbooks.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the first hour he gave a great demonstration using Faber Castell<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FCTC52/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000FCTC52&linkCode=as2&tag=greeenerrepo-20&linkId=LYPPP75PQB4ICVJU">Faber-Castell - Pitt Artist Pens Set Of 6 Brush Tips-Shades Of Grey</a><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
In March I joined the Vancouver Urban Sketchers at the Pacific Central Station in Vancouver. It is a huge long building with great architectural elements that was fun to sketch.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My challenge was that within the time allotted (3 hours), I only completed the pencil drawing of the structure, and applied only the sky color in the sketch. This was done in a 11.5" x 8" Moleskine Art Journal. The paper weight is only 90LB, and it cockled and warped even though I had alligator clips on three sides to secure the paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It started to rain, and we had to pack up all of our stuff and head inside to the station, where we showed our work to each other and chatted about the days efforts.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After I got home, the drawing was inked with my Lamy Safari pen, and I finished the remainder of the watercolor.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In terms of the future there are two elements that need to be worked on.......First will have to go earlier to each meetup, perhaps a couple of hours earlier, and Second to use 140LB paper from now on so that the paper does not cockle and warp when watercolor is applied.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All & all it was great fun with the group, and for those of you who want to give Urban Sketching a try, you will find that the goal is not to create a masterpiece, but just to enjoy the sketching experience with a group of great creative people.</div>

We gathered together at the Atrium in the Vancouver Public Library main branch in downtown Vancouver BC.<br />
<br />
I was with a really fun group of people, very supportive and creative, and well worth going to a wonderful venue that I will visit again. Plus borrowed two good Watercolor books as well.<br />

I had the opportunity today to review a new book by Maria Balcells on painting spring flowers in Watercolors. And it was a pleasure to review it, and I will go back to it often.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She takes you through several step by step tutorials on painting a variety of spring flowers, and her instruction is very concise and helpful, guiding you through each step from start to finish.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The 105 page book is packed with basic information on all the materials you will need, with a wealth of information on how to use Watercolors, and gives very precise information on avoiding the pitfalls that you may encounter.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I really found it very inspirational, and can't wait to get painting tomorrow, as I have my own treasure trove of spring flowers to use as subject matter.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This book is something every watercolor artist must have in their library.</div>

My first Watercolor Painting of 2015 done today as #1 of 30 paintings in 30 days for the Leslie Saeta <a href="http://lesliesaeta.blogspot.ca/2015/01/thirty-paintings-in-30-days-day-one.html" target="_blank">Slices of Life, 30 paintings in 30 days painting challenge.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was a challenge for sure, as I spent much of the day trying to figure
out what I was going to paint on the first day. Lots of subject matter
to choose from, but for some reason was in "brain lock" in making a
decision and just getting on with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But I had lots of fun, and look forward to the next one..........yikes tomorrow.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I am working on a project with my friend Wancen, and we painted each others portraits to start the project. This was painted yesterday evening under duress to meet today's deadline.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was also my first ever portrait in watercolor, have lots to learn. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I made lots of mistakes, but she loved the portrait, so I thought I would post it anyway.</div>
