Stretching water colour paper is an over-night process, so I have time to work on some practice pieces to get a feel for colours and shading. There will be a lot of layering and time spent waiting for layers to dry, as hot press paper does not absorb as well as cold press.
So, we have established the finished size of the piece to be 10 x 12 inches. Biscuit is sitting in the water and I feel it is necessary to include his reflection in order to preserve 'the feel' of the scene. This means his image will be somewhat smaller than it would normally be for a painting this size. But I am ready so will pull out my small brushes and get started. I am really hoping that I can finesse this.
