Summer Green Trees on a Watercolour House Portrait Painting #artist #architecture #urbansketching

I’m really enjoying painting with these bright vivid greens on my new Canson watercolour paper! I made the switch recently and have been getting used to the way the paints behave on 100% cotton paper. It’s a longer dry-time and the paper absorbs the paint beautifully. Such smooth gradients! The darkest green is Daniel Smith’s Green Apetite Genuine, which granulates to show of a spectrum of amazing green tones, really helps bring out the texture in the leaves. This is a work in progress (and a sneaky reveal!) of a recent house portrait commission. I’m coming to the end of my current projects and will be taking on more in April. Email subscribers are the first to know, so make sure you’re signed up if you’re interested in bagging a commission in the spring 🌿🌷
