HOW TO PAINT WHITE BUILDINGS IN WATERCOLOR - Watecolor Tutorial by Tim Wilmot #62

White buildings are not always really 100% white. They take on the colours of their surroundings etc so you see subtle weak values of other colours. Watch me as I tackle painting in watercolor, this bright white building in Albufeira, Portugal.

In this demo I will be covering...

1) Choice of Subject. What makes a good watercolor subject. How to simplify the scene.

2) Materials I use such as the paper. I will also cover the paints I use and the palette, plus how I hold the different brushes for different techniques.

3) Doing the outline sketch as the first step. How to get in the main shapes of buildings and shadows on the White Building.

4) Some initial colour on the white building, then the sky wash over the rest of the picture including the foreground.

5) Shadows on the white building and details of the figures.

6) Watch out for the end highlighting tips.
