Vermilion Lakes Autumn-Canadian Rockies


I have been experimenting with painting watercolour on stretched canvas. You first need to paint on a Gesso liquid layer that allows the watercolour to sit on the canvas. It's an interesting process, but time consuming as it takes longer for the paint to dry.
I thought I would take you thru the process of how I create a painting.
First I choose a size, in this case 9 x 12. The I draw an outline of what I want to paint, usually no more than 5 lines. I either paint of sit or from a photo I have taken.
